So 6IX9INE just dropped his newest album DUMMY BOY, I liked it way more than I thought I
would, and today we’re gonna talk about what the best tracks from it are.
Now unless he wants all his songs to sound like the Bobby Shmurda Verse On STOOPID, then
I’m assuming this is the last 6IX9INE project we’ll receive for a long time.
Don’t get me wrong that’s not something I’m happy about, like I said I actually
really liked this project, but I don’t know where 6IX9INE’s career is gonna go from
here.
So with that being said, this is CDTVProductions, hit me up on those social media accounts and
let’s talk about the best songs on DUMMY BOY.
5 - KANGA (feat.
Kanye West)
This track is pretty weird, it has this almost off putting sound to it and it doesn’t fully
pick up until the second verse starts, but when we get there it’s hard to not crack
a smile at it.
There’s just something enjoyable about 6IX9INE and Kanye West trading bars that interpolate
Milkshake by Kelis and talking about the hate they’ve received from people.
They have this really weird chemistry together and it makes for a track which isn’t meant
to be taken too seriously, and it functions perfectly as that.
4 - TIC TOC (feat.
Lil Baby)
Here we have one of the more melody focused tracks on the album, and it works surprisingly
well.
I don’t really know why Lil Baby didn’t just handle the hook on this track, cause
it sounds like 6IX9INE is kinda trying to sound like him on the chorus here, but either
way it still sounds nice.
Lil Baby has a nice enough verse, but 6IX9INE is honestly my favourite part of this song,
his verse got stuck in my head instantly and it’s got me thinking that I might actually
prefer this relaxed version of him over his shouting style.
This is a banger with a real summer vibe to it, and it’s really replayable being only
2 minutes long.
3 - MAMA (feat.
Kanye West & Nicki Minaj)
The first time I listened to this track I thought it was just ok, nothing too special,
but now it’s been a day or two and all that’s going through my head is ("Tiki Taki Spanish
mami she a hot tamale).
Out of all the songs on the album, this is the one I could see becoming the biggest club
song, minus FEFE of course which is already huge in clubs over here.
Speaking of FEFE, this track is similar in a couple ways to that track, they both have
a Nicki Minaj feature and they both show 6IX9INE using this lowkey delivery, but I definitely
enjoy him on here more than on FEFE due to the fact that it sounds like he tried slightly
more with his flow on this one.
Kanye is brash and entertaining as always, and Nicki struck me as the one that put the
most effort into her lyrics on here so she was enjoyable too.
To be honest, the main thing that pulls me in so much here is the hook and the beat which
is pretty reminiscent of Slippery by the Migos, but the verse are still cool too.
2 - FEEFA (feat.
Gunna)
So this was 6IX9INE going for a song with a slightly more emotional and sentimental
vibe to it, and at first it honestly sounds kinda funny cause 6IX9INE is such a meme and
hard to take serious a lot of the time, but after you get past that it actually sounds
pretty great.
It’s one of the very few songs where I like Gunna, his toned down delivery fits the more
sensitive mood of the track, and I know it’s a comparison I make a lot, but when his voice
is more mellow he sounds significantly less like Young Thug than when he tries to go more
high pitched.
As for 6IX9INE we actually get slightly more substance on this than we’re used to from
him, talking about people changing up on him and his autotuned crooning works surprisingly
well to compliment this theme.
I never thought I’d enjoy a song that sounds like this from our TR3YWAY resident rainbow,
but I really did.
1 - KIKA (feat.
Tory Lanez)
KIKA is definitely one of the most hype songs on this entire project, I legit have this
on repeat all the time now and it’s become one of my top guilty pleasure songs at the
moment.
This is just a flat out banger and I love pretty much every element of it, from Tory’s
memorable hook, the vibrant, tropical instrumental, all the way to 6IX9INE’s over the top shouting,
everything combines surprisingly well.
I don’t know why, but 6IX9INE’s shout rapping works much more for me over these
more kinda mainstream beats rather than ones with a more cold or dark aesthetic.
Not to mention the build up to his verse is so great, everything hits a peak right before
he comes in and it makes 6IX9INE’s entry into the song even more explosive.
Sure, the lyrics are some of the most basic I’ve seen him write, just look at this,
but this is purely a song I listen to for how punchy and fun it is.
Not to mention, the outro by Tory referencing the fact 6IX9INE can’t associate with TR33YWAY
anymore is pretty funny.
This was such an enjoyable track for me.
