Cash Cobain Interpolates A Pop Smoke Classic On “Act Like”

by

Cash Cobain, as we said recently, loves samples, interpolations, and the like. His brand-new record, PLAY CASH COBAIN, sees him continue to tweak and experiment with past and current records for his sexy drill soundscapes. One track that we feel Cash Cobain did the best with in terms of playing around with previous works is “act like”. We also wanted to take a more detailed dive into the track because this was one of the singles from the project. Thirdly, the song seems to be receiving a decent number of listens, and we can see why.

If you know some basic facts about Cash Cobain, you probably know that he’s from New York. It’s where he gets all of his stylistic influence from and its why he’s a major force in drill right now. With that mind, what makes “act like” so cool is that he’s paying homage to one of biggest voices (literally and figuratively) in this version of this subgenre even after his death. That would be the one and only Pop Smoke. Where Cash gives Mr. Woo his flowers is on the chorus. You can hear a slight change from Smoke’s chorus on “For the Night”. Additionally, the track features one of the more stripped back yet interesting instrumentals on the project, so we recommend you check it out below.

“Act Like” – Cash Cobain

Quotable Lyrics:

AP, big rocks, n****s know I’m the realer
Five K on the dinner, I’m really the top one Slizzer
I did some wrong (It seems like—), but I’m always right
Said I know how to shoot, and I know how to fight
I could tell you once (It seems like—), won’t tell you twice
You bae for the day, not bae for the night

Quavo’s “Rich Flex” Interpolation On “Honey Bun” Gets Mixed Reactions On Twitter

by

Twitter came through with some strong reactions to Quavo’s newest track “Honey Bun,” which he previously teased. Moreover, many took special note of his interpolation of the now infamous chorus on Drake & 21 Savage’s “Rich Flex,” AKA the “Can you do somethin’ for me?” flow. Over a bell-heavy and menacing trap instrumental, the Migos icon takes a more boastful, combative, and aggressive tone than his previous singles, both lyrically and delivery-wise. However, not everyone loved the homage to the Her Loss hit, and some criticized the song for other reasons.

“Quavo did not say honey bun can you do sum for me i know he lying,” one user wrote on Twitter. Whether they found it corny, unfitting, or straight-up bad, a lot of people had different reasons to criticize the hook. Despite that reaction, many are missing out on some of the song’s other notable features. For example, the Georgia native raps, “I don’t wanna hear no sorry for my loss,” as well as “They wanna see my emotions, I ain’t smilin’ at all.”

Quavo’s New Single Leaves Fans Divided

With those bars, Quavo seems to address how people approached him following the tragic loss of his nephew and fellow Migos member Takeoff. Moreover, the process of grief is always a difficult and personal one, and being a celebrity can dampen or intrude on that process. As such, there is much more to “Honey Bun” than the chorus might have you believe, even though it is its most easily identifiable characteristic. Another smaller reason why some fans expressed disappointment is because Yeat was rumored to also appear on the track, as they were spotted together around its announcement.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old was also in the news this week due to fling rumors with singer and actress Chlöe, which she sort of denied. While she didn’t necessarily confirm the rumors, she didn’t outright deny them either. It was during a conversation with Latto, and they labeled him a “really nice guy” and complimented his locs. Regardless of that gossip, fans’ attention’s clearly turned to this divisive single and its reference to one of last year’s biggest hits. Furthermore, check out more reactions to “Honey Bun” below and return to HNHH for the latest on Quavo.
