After a rocky start to the year following her contract dispute with her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, Megan Thee Stallion quickly added to the success that first made her a star back in 2019. She would release her latest mixtape Suga after receiving clearance from a judge. The tape produced her latest hit, “Savage,” one that landed within the top-20 of the Billboard singles chart thanks to an accompanying dance routine on TikTok before it shot up to the No. 1 position after being remixed by Beyonce. Keeping her hot streak going, Megan returns with another West Coast-sampling single.
Days removed from announcing the single, Megan comes through with her latest release, “Girls In The Hood.” The song samples Eazy-E’s 1987 hit song, “Boyz In The Hood” and also marks the second time that Megan has sampled a West Coast track. The first time came with her Suga track, “B.I.T.C.H.,” which sampled Tupac’s 1996 song, “Ratha Be Ya N****.” Megan’s take of the West Coast song finds her borrowing its ever-so-catchy keys while adding a bit of raunchy Southern flavor throughout the song. While Megan’s intentions may have been to pay homage to the West Coast legend, Eazy-E’s daughters have not taken too kindly to the single, with one citing that she “never even heard her speak my daddy name.”
