CJ Fields Jokes About His ‘Whoopty’ Video Sideburns For ‘Behind The Video’

by

Staten Island standout CJ wisely keeps the “Whoopty” content coming, breaking down his viral hit’s video for Uproxx in Behind The Video. Surprising practically no one, he admits there was no concept for the video when he shot it and recalls that the shoot was a relatively quick one, taking place on a hot summer’s day. What may be surprising is the content of his behind-the-scenes rider, which consists of mostly water and trail mix — “no Hennessy or Patron or stuff like that,” he says.

When it comes to the comments, a truly astonishing number of them focus on his muttonchop sideburns, drawing comparisons to the X-Men‘s Victor Creed (BKA Sabretooth) and photos of Civil War soldiers. CJ takes the comments in stride, though, accepting the Sabertooth comparison and contending that the sideburns are popular with the ladies. When one commenter notes that “pointing at people is rude,” CJ agrees: “I guess I’m rude,” he chuckles.

The rapper also acknowledges the popularity of drill music in the UK, makes a recommendation for Hot Cheetos dusted elote (roasted corn!), and does little to clear up the question of his ambiguous ethnicity.

DreamDoll Employs CJ’s ‘Whoopty’ Beat For A Quick-Witted Freestyle

by

In the past few weeks, Staten Island rapper CJ’s breakout hit “Whoopty” has become a favored backdrop for rappers looking for a beat to help them get their bars off. Tierra Whack employed the Bollywood sampling track for an impromptu session on social media, while Westside Boogie and Polo G both utilized the beat in more elaborately shot music videos. Now, just a few days after sharing the spotlight with CJ on his follow-up single “Lil Freak,” his fellow New Yorker DreamDoll takes the instrumental for a test drive, pairing her fist-swinging rhymes with a lyric video to help fans follow along.

Although DreamDoll has a versatile flow of her own, she borrows CJ’s sparse cadence from the hook and puts her own twist on it, crowing that “This sh*t a Disney movie / You hang with the rats, you f*ck with the ducks, and most of your n****s is goofy.” It isn’t the first rap to toy with puns based on the popular cartoon characters, but DreamDoll’s confidence carries the line and makes it work.

DreamDoll has similarly displayed her talent for witticisms on tracks with Hitmaka (the “Thot Box” remix featuring Chinese Kitty, Dreezy, and Young M.A) and Fivio Foreign (“Ah Ah Ah“).

CJ Talks Smack In Spanish On His ‘Whoopty Latin Mix’ With Anuel AA And Ozuna

by

Just when you thought “Whoopty” mania had reached its peak, Staten Island rapper CJ comes out of nowhere with a surprising new remix to extend the shelf life of his breakout hit. This time around, he offers a “Latin Mix” of his runaway drill smash featuring two of Latin music’s hottest stars in Anuel AA and Ozuna.

Rather than write a new verse for this version, CJ talks a little smack in Spanish then steps back to let his guest stars hold the limelight. Both Anuel and Ozuna go on extended, rapid-fire, bruising lyrical runs, with Anuel name-dropping Kobe Bryant and claiming he’s a real son of a gun while Ozuna flexes his watch collection and delivers a fatalistic outlook on life. The video, meanwhile, takes place at an underground fight club, which apparently has both male and female divisions for its brutal, bare-knuckle brawls.

The Latin mix is the second remix of CJ’s popular hit after the New Yorker shared a Big Apple-centric remix earlier this month featuring French Montana and Rowdy Rebel. The infectious beat for “Whoopty” has also provided the backdrop for a wide-spanning array of colorful freestyles from the likes of Compton’s Westside Boogie, Chicago’s Polo G, and Philadelphia’s Tierra Whack.

Westside Boogie’s Confidence Is At An All-Time High On His Freestyle Over CJ’s ‘Whoopty’

We’re still waiting for Westside Boogie’s next album, but at least he’s making it as enjoyable as possible. The rapper has spent much of 2021 blessing listeners with great freestyles. On Wednesday, he returned with another. He chose fellow rapper CJ’s viral track “Whoopty” as the foundation, flinging off lines like, “If you ain’t lеt me hit then you really shouldn’t carе If I get at your friend / The more I get curved, the thicker my skin.”

Westside shared the track on Twitter, hinting that it may be his last for the time being. “Aight this my last week being a hood rat fr,” he wrote in the video’s caption. The latest freestyle is the rapper’s fourth of 2021. He kept things cocky at the start of the year with “Joe Exotic Freestyle,” whose video found him and some friends also adding some more bars to Moneybagg Yo’s track “Said Sum“. He also did one over Tupac Shakur’s “Do For Love.”

Prior to his freestyle run, Westside joined Reason, Joey Badass, Denzel Curry, and Jack Harlow to remix “Extinct” and later connected with Badass again for their collaboration “Outside.”
