Meaning & Review Ice Spice - Popa
This Ice Spice track evokes a wide range of opinions and emotions, from extreme excitement to clear disappointment. There’s no denying that Ice Spice is a figure who grabs attention, both with her music and the visuals in her videos. However, the track "Popa" has become the subject of harsh criticism, especially due to how it's perceived by both fans and haters alike. Starting with the beat — it's one of the few elements praised in the track. The beat is genuinely powerful, energetic, and fits perfectly into a club atmosphere, making it easy to vibe to. It's the beat that saves the track, despite the weak lyrics and execution. That said, opinions differ. Some believe such a strong beat deserves better performance than what Ice Spice offers in this track.
The lyrical content has sparked a wave of discontent. The comments under the video are filled with criticism about the lyrics — there's barely any originality or freshness in the track. The lyrics are perceived as dull and repetitive, with some listeners even accusing Ice Spice of copying the flow and style of Nicki Minaj and other female rappers. This comparison is likely due to the fact that "Popa" does indeed seem to reflect Nicki's influence, particularly in terms of delivery.
The visual aspect of the video hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Comments about the BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) come up repeatedly, with many saying that Ice Spice’s visual image focuses on her appearance and sexuality, which provokes mixed reactions. Some admire her boldness and confidence, while others view it as a degradation of music culture, reducing female artists to objects of visual sexualization. A frequent topic of discussion is that more attention in both the track and video is given to her appearance and dancing than to the music and lyrics themselves. Another standout issue among viewers is the feeling of "inauthenticity" in Ice Spice's performance in this track. Many feel that she fails to convey her individuality and originality. Moreover, some listeners believe that certain lines in the song closely resemble lines from tracks by Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. What can be said here? Perhaps it’s the result of industry pressure, which pushes young female artists to conform to certain standards and trends.
However, amidst the criticism, there are still those who support Ice Spice. These people argue that she is evolving as an artist and that "Popa" is just one step in her journey. In their eyes, she’s still holding her position in the industry and attracting attention with her charisma and uniqueness. They note that despite all the hate, she continues moving forward and making her music, which requires immense strength of character. In the end, the track "Popa" has divided listeners into two camps: those who see it as a complete disaster and those who recognize its potential and admire Ice Spice for staying true to herself and her music.
