Saweetie should have stayed with the college girl persona. Educated home girl help you with your resume vibe. I blame the label. They wanted their own Meg. Their own Cardi. That’s not Saweetie
She should’ve, I loved it. There’s a whole demographic that can relate to that vs these other girls. I’m from the hood but college educated and I was fckn with her. I still want her to win.
Exactly ol girl graduated from USC… but instead of embracing that persona she threw it away, became a ghetto caricature and gave the college graduate thing to Meg
@@kaelabryant9056 exactly. not many artists are like that and i was happy to see it especially since i’m also a student. we really don’t need copycats especially if your persona isn’t as authentic as the original
@ig yeah but Nicole can actually sang and dance so it makes since she judges people singing. Saweetie isn’t musically talented so she shouldn’t have the right to judge someone else voice
As a fellow Bay Area native I had high hopes for saweetie but I can tell you this, her music isn’t really played on radio out here and that says a lot. I can see how she evolved from icy girl to my type and it doesn’t suit her. So by you saying “ghetto girl” literally hit the nail on the head. I believe that she depends on the pretty privilege for record sales and it’s not giving what it needs to give. I don’t like to compare different artists but if we’re going to talk about female rappers from the Bay Area who I would love to see in mainstream media it’ll be kahmaiyah. She has a unique sound and her music SLAPS. I want to see saweetie tap in (no pun intended lol) back to icy girl and get back into that boss mindset. That sound was authentic and fits her. That’s what will sell
Couldn’t have said it better myself!!!!! Icy girl gave classy. Something we don’t usually see in female rap - we usually see ghetto(I mean that in the most inoffensive way). She had something different and that made her interesting. I don’t know why she changed her formula🤷🏻♀️
@@christinabarcelona6071 thank u, her music is MID, something my 10 year old niece can come up with, it's about looks and popularity not talents, which is sad
Thank you! When she came out with BANs I thought she was fire being a pretty girl with a tomboy persona. Her voice on her High Maintenance ep is completely different to her mainstream appearance now. She went from special to basic. Her quality went down when she started doing what people thought was a pretty girl vs actually just being a pretty girl with a tomboy persona like Glorilla. And I hate to compare but I thought she was gonna be giving the energy that Glo naturally has which is why I started rocking with saweetie till she became very basic...sorry not sorry

Saweetie benefits from pretty privilege and nepotism. Her mom was an old school video vixen, and Gabrielle Union and Zaytovan are her cousins. So, that whole "I always wanted to be a rapper" thing she got going on was always BS to me. Anyone who is passionate about something would perfect their craft.
This isn't nepotism. Her parents aren't famous. Chlöe & Halle for exemple, are cousins with Charlemagne but they ain't nepo babies, Glorilla is cousins with Cardi B but she ain't a nepo baby. A nepo baby is someone like Lily-Rose Depp or Kendall Jenner.
@@SideEyeee_ nepotism: the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs. For example: Julia and Emma Roberts. It doesn't have to be a parent and child relationship.
The problem is, the people who were supposed to be promoting this EP took "DON'T SAY NOTHIN'" too seriously...I didn't even know she released an EP until I was on TikTok, and somebody made a video talking about how it flopped. Saweetie gives off a girl from the suburbs trying to act like the City Girls vibes.
Saweetie, has the same issue that Chloe is having, which is what you stated in the video. Identity crisis. They are trying to sell us an identity that seems inauthentic and a large number of us are simply not buying it. I agree, the ghetto girl persona Saweetie keeps trying to give is very off putting and forced. Idk if the label is telling her to do that or what but she need to quit it. A lot of her older fans say that she use to rap about stuff with substance and she use to just have a real laid back, Cali flow but she switched up. You can even hear the difference between how simple and fire Icy was compared to how forced her more current shit sounds.
I thought it was interesting that he said he was only reviewing one song ! Then when he realized it was a whole EP I CRIED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this was …………. WOW !
Saweetie did a panel for usc speaking about being a Black woman in professional spaces. When I said to not code switch, wear your long nails and hoops, lay your edges, and be authentically Black she look disgusted 😭 it’s absolutely a gimmick for her.
Got dammit Zach you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel like she’s trying hard to be something she’s not. Like she’s beautiful without all that extra shit. She just needs to be herself. I thought that I was the only one that thought like this.
Aside from being light skinned, everyone forgets her mother was a video vixen and had major connections in the industry. Her father was in the industry as well I believe as a rapper, oh! And shes also the cousin of Gabrielle Union. This is what REALLY got her in the door. Shes a nepotism baby.
FINALLY, somebody said it I don’t know who told saweetie to pick up this ghetto persona which isn’t her, her older music like icy girl, anti, focus,pissed and good was her lane cool laid back Cali girl. Not whatever this is it’s a shame that she’s more know for mess and being a bad artist. the platinum blonde high class on the grind saweetie was a breath of fresh air
I’ve said it before Saweetie is ment to be an influencer not artist. She has talent like she can eat up features but with her own work she lacks like I don’t get it
I feel as tho Saweetie should’ve stuck to her old sound. Yes Icy Girl was a sample but it was fresh, it was cute and had everyone’s attention. Then her High Maintenance EP was amazing: lyrically, production wise,etc. Where she falls flat (now this is just constrictive criticism from a fan) is that to me she’s trying to be like other female rappers. She doesn’t have her own lane to stand on her own. Now, the new EP she released isn’t bad but it’s not giving lyrically and she’s still doing samples. Like Zach said it sounds like it was just put together. Whoever her AR is should’ve told her that she needs to go back to the drawing board! Also, if the EP was coming out there should’ve been a rollout or something to promote it because nobody knew she dropped new music! Personally I feel as though she needs to go thru Artist Development so that she can go back to her old sound but lyrically she can improve; until then she should just lay low with the music for now and work on her craft for the time being. I love Saweetie but that EP isn’t it.
Also, she’s not a big artist to where she can release music without a rollout and expect it to sell. Record labels need the money to be recouped and in her case, 2k in the first week does not look good at all! If you look at her first EPs sales it’s higher than 2k. It’s better for artist to stick to what they due until they grow a strong fan base and THEN change into a different direction!
You know what’s funny is that she don’t like that Maintenance Ep witch is weird to me because that’s some of her best work so far compared to this now !
Yeah when I first found out about saweetie, she gave off the pretty class girl with a tomboy side. Like Zach said, she was the pretty educated proper girl and not ghetto. And there was nothing wrong with that. Saweetie wasn't as good lyrically. But, the classy girl vibe she had going for her made up for it and she could've found her own lane. Yet, she switched to this ghetto rap and like he said, it doesn't come across as authentic compared to actual hood girl rappers like Lotto. And unfortunately, mediocre lyrics plus this ghetto girl image she switched too pretty much caused her to fall off. She faded into the crowd knowing she doesn't have anything going for her to stand against Lotto, Glorilla, etc. in comparison to if she had just stayed in her icy girl, pretty girl classy style. I know she went to artist development classes, but why can't she see she had the perfect formula for her? I do want to see her win and I honestly think, going back to icy girl classy style, plus better lyrics, and good stage performances is all she really needs.
I agree with you when you said that Saweetie wasn’t always that ghetto girl. In the beginning she was like a Lori Harvey, a social light in Hollywood. You never heard her talk, Nor did you know what she did, but she was just a pretty girl .I don’t know how or when she switched up. Finally someone with a platform said it,because I’ve been saying that for years.
And Saweetie is marketing queen, so the release of this EP was definitely.. considered- I don’t have an opinion on whether it was right or wrong but it did feel purposeful Overall, I agree with you Zach- the bubble gum chewing, tap my lace front is just not her and that’s what the music gives!!! It needs to be a whole rebrand, a whole new approach if she wants to get serious with this rap stuff!
You are so CORRECT ✅ I loved Saweetie pre-Quavo era… *THAT’s TEA ☕️* !!! The BOUGHETTO aesthetic has NOT been working and it shows! Her freestyle “Anti” and “Icy Grl” is TOP TIER Saweetie imo… and even then, still doesnt hit like the girls she tries to sound like (Cardi, Meg, with a hint of Latto)
@@Simplyndaraca YES! It is, no shade. Its usually all orchestrated… i literally remember blogs/industry tryna associate Cardi & her at the time… then “My Type” came out and QUAVO produced her nxt project. 😭 internet quick to *forget*
I miss her icy girl era. She needs to go back to how she started when we first introduced to her. She has some good songs, but its like her projects aren’t cohesive. She’s not a bad rapper when she puts her mind to it but she really needs to step it up if she wants to redeem herself musically. The EP was giving she don’t really fw with her musicality no more.
THANK YOU! I’ve literally been so confused, her music is always so delayed. She’s literally been in the game for 4 years, and also started teasing PBM in 2020… i’m wondering is it a label issue?? she posts all the time that she’s working in the studio! so i feel like she actually is working hard and trying but has only dropped EP’s and when she does it’s always announced like the week of, or day before with barely any advertisement. let’s also not forget that one time warner leaked best friend on streaming like weeks before it was suppose to come out. i felt so bad for her. I really feel like it’s a label thing. I hope she knows we all just wanna see her thrive and win.
THAAAANK YOU!!!!!! I first became a fan of Saweetie in like 2014 when she was proper and and chill, I had to unstan when she changed so much because it seemed so forced. I remember SPECIFICALLY she said in an interview in 2015ish that LITERALLY EVERYTHING SHE IS NOW was against her demeanor, now look where we are.
I’m so glad you said that about the “ghetto girl” façade because that ish is literally terrible like nails on chalkboard. I think that song she’s got “back to the streets” is really nice, like that’s more her.
I hope Saweetie sees this, this is the cold honest truth. She might know this already but like you said she’s very educated, this might just be a stepping stone for her to do something else 🤷🏽♀️
Her delivery/flow on the baby mama coochie remix was a vibe. It would’ve been nice to see her play more around with that. I think the problem is that she strayed so far away from her original sound, which is what made everyone fall in love with her to begin with. She was the classy/chill college girl next door and that made her super relatable to me. She does have some bops and really should’ve dropped her album a long time ago. Hopefully she can just go within and find her true sound
This video genuinely had me cracking upppp. Top three that took me dzzown: 1) Zach saying, "Not do you have home for the homeless...love for the homeless because I was once that? Saweetie...um..." 2) "she pick up the phone a lot on this EP ...hello...hellay...y'all alright over there...hellay!?" and 3) the "ghetto persona" reenactment. Lordttt!
I admire how saweetie is taking the news of her sales. Her ep was good in my opinion. She hasn’t went on any public rants & she’s handled all these ppl coming for her with grace. She should’ve stuck to her original formula. Fortunately, She remains paid due to other business deals. She’s unproblematic. ☕️. Do female rappers have to beef in order to be relevant? This was a flop. Ppl shouldn’t call any of the other girls a flop ever again after this.
Agreed, if her original formula included Icy Girl then I definitely agree. I love that persona it would’ve been refreshing for her to continue with that style
Icy Girl and High Maintenance came out when I graduated undergrad. I played the hell out of that EP. Today...you couldn't pay me to listen to one of her songs😂.
Thank you! I’ve been saying this for years. I was a huge fan back during her first launch and the Icy girl era. After “My Type”, I noticed they changed her brand and the music stopped appealing to me. She’s a sweet girl, but I missed the Icy girl era.
My whole reaction to this EP was this! I was expecting so much more from her after the break she took and how she talked about "perfecting her craft". Definitely a huge disappointment.
I’m still not over you and Beyoncé meeting each other. When that tour comes I hope you do a vlog cause I know it’s going to be an event!!! Please and Thank you 😂
I love saweetie and I wanna see her win too and Zach wasn't being shady. I will admit I like this better than her last project with all the under ground artists. That was hot flaming trash. I really want her to get better. No shade no tea, she's really becoming forgettable. She needs ro marry rich n leave music alone like Eve at this point
I think she should rap how she was rapping before she really blew up it was authentic and really good she should also stop doing so many sample songs and have somebody make her the right beat to show her real potential
The fact she’s been out for a while and she doesn’t have proper project/album out is a problem. I liked her music when she started out but idk what’s going on now, the ep isn’t the worst thing, there’s two songs I can vibe too but the fact that it barely caused any noise is worrying. Edit: I remembered I was so obsessed with her song pissed and I went to listen to it again. Now I’m pissed cuz how you come from making bangers like that to doing this 😭.
Ppl shouldn’t take Saweetie seriously as an artist because truly, she’s kind of a socialite or social media representative I never thought she’d sell good. I thought most ppl didn’t take her too serious as a rapper lol. I was wrong I guess. I dislike when ppl say she’s getting a hate train, I think that term is more for artists that have mega companies and gate keepers etc going after their bags. Non fans that clown on her and ppl that like her, criticizing and talking bad about her music isn’t a hate train.
Completely agree 👏🏻 You are Correct her voice her vibe her actual personality comes out in the video she made “back to the streets” thats the vocal persona that represents herself and fits her. she needs to stay with that vocal because this shit ain’t it 🤷🏻♀️ Let get this coin girl and get to stepping she did all this vocal coaching i get what’s making billboards and money is city girls vibes or meg .But it doesn’t go with her. Stop following the crowd that ain't you.
It has to be light skin privilege. Omeretta is EXTREMELY talented, one of the best female rappers out now and her EP came out the same day as Saweetie's and no one talks about her. She deserves Saweetie's mainstream spot. Also, Saweetie is talented, just not as a rapper, and that's OKAY. She can take her career in so many directions I don't know why her being a rapper is the only profession being pushed.
@@NI-tn7yq we’re talking about talent here, not who’s voice sounds more pleasing to you. regardless of what you think she sounds like you can’t deny her lyrics and flow, and the fact that she should she be further than Saweetie in the industry
What’s crazy is I’ve listened to omertà music, she’s lyrical and really good. Sadly I believe she doesn’t get enough audience because she doesn’t appear like saweetie, sad but are society really hasn’t evolved when it comes to appreciating real art. Instead they like what is appealing are society they rather focous on looks and goofy ass songs 🤷🏾♀️ like …..
I'm one of the 2,000 thats behind Saweetie because I love her 😂 but I wish I will say this. her bag is the 'Icy Girl', 'Good Good' from her first EP , and 'Back to the Streets' ft. Jhene Aiko sound. I wish she would stick to that!
I will always have a level of respect for saweetie for trying and doing her best. It's hard for some people to even get started. She's always seem to be sweet and humble outside of music & tried to INCLUDE girls in her "pretty bitch movement" instead of exclude them. She seems like she would make a great friend, but her music does need some serious work because these songs were trash. But that's said out of love.
Ever since Saweetie and Quavo split, her music career was over. Anyone ever noticed that???👀 Plus, music is not for Saweetie. She is gorgeous and she’s been thriving in the marketing/advertising sector of the entertainment industry. She should stick to that.
Saweetie is getting the Iggy treatment. It’s become fun to make fun of her more than it is to listen to her music. Even when her music had been decent in the last, they always make jokes about her. I feel bad for her honestly. No matter what she’s done or tried, they will roast her every time.
@@sarahgates6947 I’ll be honest, I don’t remember it bc I saw it maybe once if at all… But it definitely ended up on my top 5 2019 tracks, literally. Apple told me 😹
I agree with you!! And have been feeling that same way about Saweetie for a long time. I think she would have did better with being cute, prissy like she started out as because that seems more here. But she tried to develop this hood ghetto girl persona, that as you mentioned does not come off as authentic. I think a new team behind her may help her.
I bought tickets to “Wild ‘N Out” live a couple years ago, and when I saw the musical guest would be Saweetie I almost didn’t even want to go anymore. 😂🤷🏽♀️
Her Icy Girl song is the song that made me love her after that the music went down hill 😩😭 hate that for her! Love what she was rapping about on icy girl! The Bougie and smart girl!!
LOVED this honest and raw review cause i stg, when I turned on that p*ssy song, me and my mama’s ears almost melted off.. I don’t understand the fake hood aesthetic, it’s deadass giving TIRED, she needs to pack that career up and stick to just being a model and the pretty girl that she is simple lol
Saweetee is not very talented. Why do people let light skin blind them. She is pretty but nothing special. You can see women as pretty or pretty on the streets. Her problem is lack of talent and that weird looking bbl
Saweetie should have stayed with the college girl persona. Educated home girl help you with your resume vibe. I blame the label. They wanted their own Meg. Their own Cardi. That’s not Saweetie
She should’ve, I loved it. There’s a whole demographic that can relate to that vs these other girls. I’m from the hood but college educated and I was fckn with her. I still want her to win.
I agree.
@Imaani Edwards she is but that wasn’t her rap persona. Her persona is a hot girl.
Exactly she could of gave rap Hilary banks
Yes once “my type” came out and she popped out with the BBL looking like a mini-Belcalis - I knew we weren’t getting that college girl vibe anymore!
“ Is she singing again? ” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m weak as hell!

@@kensongillis9249 you know she may not have liked it but it was definitely her best work! It didn’t sound like everyone else!
I thought she went to artist development at least that’s what she said🤷🏽♀️
Yeah when I first found out about saweetie, she gave off the pretty class girl with a tomboy side. Like Zach said, she was the pretty educated proper girl and not ghetto. And there was nothing wrong with that. Saweetie wasn't as good lyrically. But, the classy girl vibe she had going for her made up for it and she could've found her own lane.
Yet, she switched to this ghetto rap and like he said, it doesn't come across as authentic compared to actual hood girl rappers like Lotto. And unfortunately, mediocre lyrics plus this ghetto girl image she switched too pretty much caused her to fall off. She faded into the crowd knowing she doesn't have anything going for her to stand against Lotto, Glorilla, etc. in comparison to if she had just stayed in her icy girl, pretty girl classy style.
I know she went to artist development classes, but why can't she see she had the perfect formula for her? I do want to see her win and I honestly think, going back to icy girl classy style, plus better lyrics, and good stage performances is all she really needs.
I agree with you when you said that Saweetie wasn’t always that ghetto girl. In the beginning she was like a Lori Harvey, a social light in Hollywood. You never heard her talk, Nor did you know what she did, but she was just a pretty girl .I don’t know how or when she switched up. Finally someone with a platform said it,because I’ve been saying that for years.
“You pick up the phone a lot this EP” 😩😂🤣😂
And Saweetie is marketing queen, so the release of this EP was definitely.. considered- I don’t have an opinion on whether it was right or wrong but it did feel purposeful
Overall, I agree with you Zach- the bubble gum chewing, tap my lace front is just not her and that’s what the music gives!!! It needs to be a whole rebrand, a whole new approach if she wants to get serious with this rap stuff!
EP*
Marketing what?!? This flopped hard, it couldn't have been intentional!
Her record label probably gave her a minimum budget! No way this was intentional! That would be a mistake!
You are so CORRECT ✅ I loved Saweetie pre-Quavo era… *THAT’s TEA ☕️* !!! The BOUGHETTO aesthetic has NOT been working and it shows! Her freestyle “Anti” and “Icy Grl” is TOP TIER Saweetie imo… and even then, still doesnt hit like the girls she tries to sound like (Cardi, Meg, with a hint of Latto)
The pre-Quavo part wasn’t necessary imo lol but I get your point lol
The pre-Quavo was very necessary 😂
@@Simplyndaraca YES! It is, no shade. Its usually all orchestrated… i literally remember blogs/industry tryna associate Cardi & her at the time… then “My Type” came out and QUAVO produced her nxt project. 😭 internet quick to *forget*
9:37 Thank youuuuuu Zach for saying exactly what I been thinking for yearssss
Monaleo deserves the recognition that saweetie has
I love Leo sm lol, she be saying some off the wall stuff 😭
@@KEERUH1 shes wild af, i love it. talking about telling her cousin to make tiktoks on her grave 🤣🤣🤣
I miss her icy girl era. She needs to go back to how she started when we first introduced to her. She has some good songs, but its like her projects aren’t cohesive. She’s not a bad rapper when she puts her mind to it but she really needs to step it up if she wants to redeem herself musically. The EP was giving she don’t really fw with her musicality no more.
THANK YOU! I’ve literally been so confused, her music is always so delayed. She’s literally been in the game for 4 years, and also started teasing PBM in 2020… i’m wondering is it a label issue?? she posts all the time that she’s working in the studio! so i feel like she actually is working hard and trying but has only dropped EP’s and when she does it’s always announced like the week of, or day before with barely any advertisement. let’s also not forget that one time warner leaked best friend on streaming like weeks before it was suppose to come out. i felt so bad for her. I really feel like it’s a label thing. I hope she knows we all just wanna see her thrive and win.
The label missed her window, they should've let her drop after 'Tap In' or 'Bestfriend'. they waited way too long!
Exactly I loved how she sounded when she first came out. Now it feels like a facade.
I just come back to this video and just scream 😂😂😂😂
Me 😂
THAAAANK YOU!!!!!! I first became a fan of Saweetie in like 2014 when she was proper and and chill, I had to unstan when she changed so much because it seemed so forced. I remember SPECIFICALLY she said in an interview in 2015ish that LITERALLY EVERYTHING SHE IS NOW was against her demeanor, now look where we are.
Bitch saweetie wasn’t out in 2014….
I’m so glad you said that about the “ghetto girl” façade because that ish is literally terrible like nails on chalkboard. I think that song she’s got “back to the streets” is really nice, like that’s more her.
You were spot on with your commentary. I honestly hope sweetie watches this video
I hope Saweetie sees this, this is the cold honest truth. She might know this already but like you said she’s very educated, this might just be a stepping stone for her to do something else 🤷🏽♀️
When Zach said “is she singing again?”😭😭 I died 😂😂😂
Thank you for calling out the “ghetto persona”. She’s become superficial and not relatable.
"WHO IS STREAMING THIS" I FELL OUT!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😆🤣💀
Her delivery/flow on the baby mama coochie remix was a vibe. It would’ve been nice to see her play more around with that. I think the problem is that she strayed so far away from her original sound, which is what made everyone fall in love with her to begin with. She was the classy/chill college girl next door and that made her super relatable to me. She does have some bops and really should’ve dropped her album a long time ago. Hopefully she can just go within and find her true sound
The girls don’t knowwww about baby mama coochie😩 saweetie ate
I came in like a Wreckinggg Balllllll 😂 An upload from you is always a blessing babe 💕
This video genuinely had me cracking upppp. Top three that took me dzzown: 1) Zach saying, "Not do you have home for the homeless...love for the homeless because I was once that? Saweetie...um..." 2) "she pick up the phone a lot on this EP ...hello...hellay...y'all alright over there...hellay!?" and 3) the "ghetto persona" reenactment. Lordttt!
I admire how saweetie is taking the news of her sales. Her ep was good in my opinion. She hasn’t went on any public rants & she’s handled all these ppl coming for her with grace. She should’ve stuck to her original formula. Fortunately, She remains paid due to other business deals. She’s unproblematic. ☕️. Do female rappers have to beef in order to be relevant? This was a flop. Ppl shouldn’t call any of the other girls a flop ever again after this.
Agreed, if her original formula included Icy Girl then I definitely agree. I love that persona it would’ve been refreshing for her to continue with that style
BLOOP!
i am sooooo glad you spoke about the fake ghetto persona....
The way I clicked this so fast I’m sitting here studying for finals and I needed a Kiki from Zach and I got itttt
I am supposed to be studying too! 😂
Icy Girl and High Maintenance came out when I graduated undergrad. I played the hell out of that EP. Today...you couldn't pay me to listen to one of her songs😂.
Thank you! I’ve been saying this for years. I was a huge fan back during her first launch and the Icy girl era. After “My Type”, I noticed they changed her brand and the music stopped appealing to me. She’s a sweet girl, but I missed the Icy girl era.
I was down and you came through with a ball of joy! Thank you!!!
My whole reaction to this EP was this! I was expecting so much more from her after the break she took and how she talked about "perfecting her craft". Definitely a huge disappointment.
I’m still not over you and Beyoncé meeting each other. When that tour comes I hope you do a vlog cause I know it’s going to be an event!!! Please and Thank you 😂
Dess Dior and Sweetie should be influencers
The lil Saweetie impressions are really sending me and so is the accuracy about the whole personaaa😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When the phone went off the second time... Zach genuinely looked up concerned 😂😂. “is that my phone” 💀
I love saweetie and I wanna see her win too and Zach wasn't being shady. I will admit I like this better than her last project with all the under ground artists. That was hot flaming trash. I really want her to get better. No shade no tea, she's really becoming forgettable. She needs ro marry rich n leave music alone like Eve at this point
And Ciara even though I love Ciara but her music aint hitting it
@@StephanieJoseph332I agree
It’s the style , that’s not changing
But Eve could actually rap 😂😂😂
@@mizzmeek69 this is the one ☝🏾
I think she should rap how she was rapping before she really blew up it was authentic and really good she should also stop doing so many sample songs and have somebody make her the right beat to show her real potential
EXACTLY
YESS!
When she was doing raps like Anti
I think she should discover her true talent..
Why do I feel like Zach knew good and well that she released an EP that flopped commercially and pretended to find out during the vid? 😂
🫢
Lmfaooo
@Disappointment i knew about it, but I didn’t think to listen to it. I don’t listen to her as much.
She once said in an interview that she wants her album to feel like art that belongs to the museum 😂
The fact she’s been out for a while and she doesn’t have proper project/album out is a problem. I liked her music when she started out but idk what’s going on now, the ep isn’t the worst thing, there’s two songs I can vibe too but the fact that it barely caused any noise is worrying.
Edit: I remembered I was so obsessed with her song pissed and I went to listen to it again. Now I’m pissed cuz how you come from making bangers like that to doing this 😭.
I’ve always wanted a ‘pissed’ part 2! 😂 but no we go this…
Ppl shouldn’t take Saweetie seriously as an artist because truly, she’s kind of a socialite or social media representative I never thought she’d sell good. I thought most ppl didn’t take her too serious as a rapper lol. I was wrong I guess. I dislike when ppl say she’s getting a hate train, I think that term is more for artists that have mega companies and gate keepers etc going after their bags. Non fans that clown on her and ppl that like her, criticizing and talking bad about her music isn’t a hate train.
Completely agree 👏🏻 You are Correct her voice her vibe her actual personality comes out in the video she made “back to the streets” thats the vocal persona that represents herself and fits her. she needs to stay with that vocal because this shit ain’t it 🤷🏻♀️ Let get this coin girl and get to stepping she did all this vocal coaching i get what’s making billboards and money is city girls vibes or meg .But it doesn’t go with her. Stop following the crowd that ain't you.
@6:35 when I tell you I completely LOST IT.. sent me to orbit 🤣🤣🤣 🚀 🚀
Dammit main.. this review OMG! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣. I LOVE YOU ZACH.🤣🤣😭😭
It has to be light skin privilege. Omeretta is EXTREMELY talented, one of the best female rappers out now and her EP came out the same day as Saweetie's and no one talks about her. She deserves Saweetie's mainstream spot. Also, Saweetie is talented, just not as a rapper, and that's OKAY. She can take her career in so many directions I don't know why her being a rapper is the only profession being pushed.
omeretta rap voice is annoying....hard pass
@@NI-tn7yq we’re talking about talent here, not who’s voice sounds more pleasing to you. regardless of what you think she sounds like you can’t deny her lyrics and flow, and the fact that she should she be further than Saweetie in the industry
What’s crazy is I’ve listened to omertà music, she’s lyrical and really good. Sadly I believe she doesn’t get enough audience because she doesn’t appear like saweetie, sad but are society really hasn’t evolved when it comes to appreciating real art. Instead they like what is appealing are society they rather focous on looks and goofy ass songs 🤷🏾♀️ like …..
@lakacialloyd9027 i do too but lol that’s surprising u can listen to Flo’s voice over Retta
@Lakacia Lloyd Exactly. she sounds almost like Asian doll...highpitched angry. Doesn't work.
I'm one of the 2,000 thats behind Saweetie because I love her 😂 but I wish I will say this. her bag is the 'Icy Girl', 'Good Good' from her first EP , and 'Back to the Streets' ft. Jhene Aiko sound. I wish she would stick to that!
Monaleo ft Flo Milli! We not humping!!!! Yes the fabulous song!
I will always have a level of respect for saweetie for trying and doing her best. It's hard for some people to even get started. She's always seem to be sweet and humble outside of music & tried to INCLUDE girls in her "pretty bitch movement" instead of exclude them. She seems like she would make a great friend, but her music does need some serious work because these songs were trash. But that's said out of love.
Ever since Saweetie and Quavo split, her music career was over. Anyone ever noticed that???👀 Plus, music is not for Saweetie. She is gorgeous and she’s been thriving in the marketing/advertising sector of the entertainment industry. She should stick to that.
Yes I’ve been saying that. She need to get back with Quavo real bad lol😂😂😂
Yeah but, did her music career ever start? That's the question.
I usually don't watch these things but I see a Zach upload and I make tea and stay awhile...
Saweetie is getting the Iggy treatment. It’s become fun to make fun of her more than it is to listen to her music. Even when her music had been decent in the last, they always make jokes about her. I feel bad for her honestly. No matter what she’s done or tried, they will roast her every time.
Iggy can ACTUALLY Rap but Iggy was problematic. Y’all love making excuses. Sweetie isn’t talented, beautiful yes but talented… NO❗️
Also Iggy music is fun and good. Even after she got cancelled I still listen to songs from her newer albums. I AM The Stripclub, is a bop.
@@sarahgates6947 and lil Sally Walker had a hold on me in 2019 😂
@@kitcowool gurl the video was everything
@@sarahgates6947 I’ll be honest, I don’t remember it bc I saw it maybe once if at all… But it definitely ended up on my top 5 2019 tracks, literally. Apple told me 😹
10:20 every time I hear saweetie music that's how she sound in my head 🥹
Zach talking about saweetie is my favourite type of video content
I always look forward to Zach's commentary. I feel like he could get an hour segment on MTV to critique all new releases 🤔
Her ep still flopping currently hurts 🤕, but as well just found out she put that out
There’s even a video clip of Saweetie being interviewed at USC and she was way more toned down and sounded proper.
ZACKARYYYYYY your skin is popping ✨️ 😍 love u 💕
Okay sis, we see you being consistent this week 🎉
I'm so glad I'm not Saweetie because if I had to face Zachary's disappointment like this I would cry 😭
I agree with you!! And have been feeling that same way about Saweetie for a long time. I think she would have did better with being cute, prissy like she started out as because that seems more here. But she tried to develop this hood ghetto girl persona, that as you mentioned does not come off as authentic. I think a new team behind her may help her.
It was the "is she singing again "😂😂😂 and "she pick up the phone alot on this ep " for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. and " mmmmm,😛 a hella hello "
I bought tickets to “Wild ‘N Out” live a couple years ago, and when I saw the musical guest would be Saweetie I almost didn’t even want to go anymore. 😂🤷🏽♀️
😂🤣
Picking up the phone all over the album but won’t answer when Zach calls 🤦🏾♀️ 😂
9:43-9:47 Had me Weaaaaakk, The "Holla Holla", I.... XD
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t know anything about her, but I’m ready to watch every second of this 😂😂
Same. I’m enjoying the comments and his commentary. 😂😂😂😂
The way i went “RECOUUUUUUP” out loud at 13:30 😂
the way i felt your expressions through the screen!!!!
It's the reaction to him finding out she dropped a whole project in real time for me! I am crying and peeing all over my car right now!
“Is she singing again?!” Took me out. 😭
Her Icy Girl song is the song that made me love her after that the music went down hill 😩😭 hate that for her! Love what she was rapping about on icy girl! The Bougie and smart girl!!
Yessss the new persona is so see through, every appearance she had was always in “character” like mama drop the act and be who YOU are
LOVED this honest and raw review cause i stg, when I turned on that p*ssy song, me and my mama’s ears almost melted off.. I don’t understand the fake hood aesthetic, it’s deadass giving TIRED, she needs to pack that career up and stick to just being a model and the pretty girl that she is simple lol
Watching Zach’s shock in real time is sendinggg me 💀
On another note, she’s so beautiful. IG model should most definitely be the move. Because, Musically? Beautiful gowns, beautiful gowns…😬
Her music is literally good. She’s on par with her peers. Why is she being held to a higher standard?
@@Saintmiragexis she though??? Is she giving doja and meg?
Saweetee is not very talented. Why do people let light skin blind them. She is pretty but nothing special. You can see women as pretty or pretty on the streets. Her problem is lack of talent and that weird looking bbl
LMFAO not even 20 seconds in and I’m crying 😅😅😅😅😅
