Jhene Aiko and Pharrell are buried too deep in the 51-min tracklist. He raps over a sample of Luther Ingram’s “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right” on a song called “If Pain Was A Person.” Production is occasionally slower and more complex, opening room for Moneybagg’s introspection. The midpoint “Interlude” features voicemails of support from family members. Like “Wockesha,” which samples DeBarge’s “Stay With Me,” the da-da-dun-dun-da-da-dun-da-dun line from that Ashanti song, while Moneybagg Yo melodically reflects on his complicated love/hate relationship with lean.

Same thing on “Least Ian Lie,” the catchiest title/hook appearing 20+ tracks into an album.
On “Shottas (La La),” he repeats the song’s title in a stop-and-start, stuttery way for the hook, then raps descriptive braggadocious one-liners in a smooth cadence in between.
The album opens with “Memphganistan,” and a news anchor talking about the high murder rate in his home city before Moneybagg states his hands are so dirty from counting money that he needs to sanitize them. In most ways, on his newest LP, he follows through. “FR” and “Change The Subject” have lines about how people ask Moneybagg Yo to change, but he doesn’t have time today for that. This is a downgrade from the time around Moneybagg’s last single, “Said Sum,” when my inevitable response would be “What? Huh? What’d you say?” Wife asks can I take the garbage out? Look at my wrist and, yep, damn, unfortunately I do have time today. The lead single is “Time Today,” a track with a hook so subtly infectious it reappears often in everyday scenarios. Paak remixed named “Paul McCartney,” but I don’t have time today to find out.Ī Gangsta’s Pain has been streaming so much it fills the entirety of my Daily Drive, in between podcasts about Biden’s latest speech and how toilet seats are the least germ-y place in public bathrooms.

But when his name appeared in the new release section of The Music Streaming Service on 4/23/21, it was the most familiar. Moneybagg Yo isn’t the James Patterson of rap. The author’s recognizable name in bold text on the spine. The same lovable protagonist up to new shenanigans. If Moneybagg Yo’s A Gangsta’s Pain were a book it’d be a mass market paperback.
