Composition
The song uses a G-funk beat[1] and pays homage to Los Angeles.[2] It mentions baby oil and Diddy parties in the beginning. Later on, YG raps "All the pretty hoes gon' play this / Joey Badass gon' hate this", referencing the rapper's feuds with West Coast hip-hop artists.[3]
Critical reception
Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop gave a favorable review, writing "As for the song itself, this is a West Coast banger through and through. From the production to the performances, everyone is firing on all cylinders here."[3] Shawn Grant of The Source commented "Shoreline Mafia brings raw edge, while Ty Dolla $ign's production blends bounce and polish".[2]
Music video
The music video was released alongside the single. Shot in black-and-white, it opens with YG and Shoreline Mafia arriving in a black limousine in matching all-black suits.[1][2] YG carries takeout from Marathon Burger, as a tribute to rapper Nipsey Hussle.[2] The clip contains scenes of pouring champagne, lingerie-clad dancers and the rappers' similarly dressed entourage in a Soul Train line. It also features a cameo from Ty Dolla Sign, who makes the beat on a drum pad.[1]
