This song has done better than any Spice song released in 2024. Including gimme the light which was a huge flop that didn’t even chart. This is despite the fact that her debut album supposed to come out a month from now

Like if you told people this info this time last year would they believe you?

not surprising at all

and im sure a year from now some other random thot rapper will have the juice instead of sexxy

 

[SupaVillain]

Nope. Ice spice was always garage, just another glorified IG model who had the machine behind her. At least sexy has somewhat better party music

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Sexyy Red has much more of a genuine personality that connects with people

Her music is also a bit more fun and direct. It's obviously raunchy as hell but it kind of embraces how ridiculous it is which is endearing

 

[staticshock]

SR has an immaculate ear for beats

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

Sexy Red is authentic whereas Ice Spice is method acting. I like both but authentic will always win. Boss chick with bars is the NYC way. Ass shaking party music is authentically St Louis.

 

[King Poetic]

Both are trash musically

But Sexy is more about in tune with her audience in the hood

 

[TheOptimisticCynikal]

Interesting premise, OP. In my opinion, I think it's cause the South just have that much of a stronghold on hip hop these days.

It feels like being hot as an artist from the South lasts longer than being hot as an artist from NYC. Because it's not just Ice Spice, you don't hear much about Fivio Foreign or that other girl Scarlip (I think that's her name, I honestly thought it won't be long until she blow)

They said dthang was supposed to save Bronx drill when he got out, but there hasn't been much noise since.

Compare this to the South where an artist can have one summer hit and a few notable features they got placed on due to that summer hit, and they can stretch out their relevance for at least 2-3 years

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Sexxy having a core hood audience gives her credibility in indie/white/progressive circles as well

Where as it seems like they trying to push Ice right into the mainstream without that same foundation

 

[CarltonJunior]

Sexyy has bigger hits if you ask me

I don't know the numbers but munch never felt bigger than get it sexy

Fisherr is a big hit but that's a feature

Those other scat fetish songs don't even last a week

Sexyy getting drake, chief keef, etc. features, she's a machine at this point

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Not very.
Neither are particularly talented but Sexxy Red has charisma and some level of rapping ability.

Ice Spice and that short bus flow have absolutely nothing going

 

[Da_Eggman]

SR has an immaculate ear for beats

She just happens to be with Tay Keith and them

Ice seems to only work wit her cuckold bf producer

But really Ice is just a Nicki clone that used the drill wave

Redd is a true ratchet whore

 

[Jean Jacket]

NY is struggling to find a new mainstream identity.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

It’s not surprising at all. Sexxy Red is a flawed rapper, but is really just a hood chick rapping in the vain of La Chat/Gangsta Boo, plus has had good production way more often than not. Her shyt bumps and it’s the reason a lot of dudes aren’t embarrassed to listen to [most] of her music.

Ice Spice on the other hand straight up can’t rap and is a terrible performer. People have been listening to her ironically like Lil B. They support her simply being a nice person getting money but she has a lot of enablers not realizing she sucks. That NY drill ain’t it.

Not surprised at all. Not a huge fan of any of them but SR clearly the better writer of the two
