"Rap Saved Me" is a song by Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage, American rapper Offset, and American record producer Metro Boomin featuring fellow American rapper Quavo from the former three's collaborative studio album Without Warning (2017).
Composition
[edit | edit source]The production in the song contains synthesized strings, which Marshall Gu of Pretty Much Amazing described as "sounding like squeaky metal".[1] The song revolves around the rappers' lifestyle of luxury goods, as they make references to items such as French couture, Swiss watches, and Austrian firearms.[2]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork praised the "understated tectonic shift" within the instrumental during Offset's verse, as one of the signs of the production's "balance between ghostly and ghastly" throughout Without Warning.[3]
