For most, it'll just be directed at anyone or anything you hope to transcend in 2015. In other words, it's pure fantasy, and the capacity for wish fulfillment means "My X" can be as specific as you want it to be. Rae Sremmurd 'My X' Why on earth would SremmLife drop on January 6 The pre- and post-holiday season tends to be a no-flex zone for just about everyone except established chart-toppers.
Certain lyrics hint at teenage puppy love, others find the duo riding around in Ferraris and rudely interrupted while counting new money. The former is responsible for how "My X" has the poisonous, almost irredeemable vindictiveness you'd expect from an early Taking Back Sunday song, but also a flippancy to show that it's not directed at anyone in particular. Rae Sremmurd are in about the same place here, a nexus of youthful exuberance and grim nihilism. Come Get Her and This Could Be Us are two of Rae Sremmurds best songs and are pretty good bangers however the rest of the album just doesnt hold up. Though still under the surveillance of Mike WiLL Made-It, "My X" brings in Young Chop, who adds slight G-Funk/No Limit synth whinnies to a production style that Chief Keef has all but abandoned since Finally Rich, one where "ice grill" signifies both diamonds and mean mugging. Rae Sremmurds debut studio album is a project that has some highs but is weighed down by the majority of the album.
