WAP

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 11

"WAP"
by Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion

Did I intentionally put this song immediately after an entry with a Christian worship song?

Honestly, when I first heard this song, I must've immediately listened to it again on repeat a dozen times just to confirm that the lyrics really said what I thought they said. I love how ballsy this song is, and how empowered both Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion sound during their respective parts of this song. There are so many unfair social pressures on women, especially with respect to their sexuality, and these two drop a song that gives exactly zero fucks what anyone else thinks of them.

While I'm not sure this is the direction I would take with my own art, per se, I love that this song absolutely goes for it. I hope that one day I'm brave enough with my own work to put something out in the world that's this bold and raw.

This song also introduced me to Megan Thee Stallion, who I've really been enjoying listening to lately. If you think this song is a rare departure for her, you're very much mistaken. "Body" and "Girls In The Hood" are two of my favorites and they definitely have similar themes of female empowerment.
