“@ MEH” by Playboi Carti

In this song Playboi Carti is addressing his rivals straight up. And he is relaying two primary sentiments in the process. First is that he obviously does not feel that their level of machismo matches up to his own. In fact the title of the track ultimately lends to the notion that he doesn’t even perceive them as credible competitors. And secondly he is threatening them, albeit metaphorically, in a very-real way.  That is to say that he gives various lyrical allusions to his desire to shoot at them or their “best friend”. And he clarifies that he is not the type to go to war over issues concerning females. However, if the beef at hand has some to do with bricks, i.e. money, then he has no qualms about getting into it.

So basically, how Playboy goes about expressing himself is as someone who is more macho than his competitors. And within the context of the streets, said machismo ultimately boils down to one’s wherewithal to pull the trigger.
