The track peaked at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100. It marks Tierra Whack’s first and only Billboard Hot 100 hit so far.
Background
The track is the first collaboration of all four rappers,[1] though Rocky & Tyler have collaborated multiple times before.
Composition
The track samples the song "Tokyo Drift" from the Fast & Furious movie of the same name.[1]
Critical reception
The track received critical acclaim. Alex Zidel of HotNewHipHop called the song a "freestyle-driven banger", and said that Lil Yachty starting off "utilized the Tokyo Drift instrumental to perfection". He said that ASAP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator "dropped bars", and Tierra Whack had "some memorable lines" before Lil Yachty closed out the track. He stated that the track feels "like it was crafted in the studio with all of them trying to outclass one another", and it was "a little bit like they were assigned a group project and, for once, everyone pulled their weight".[2] Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan called the song an "exciting posse cut". He said that Rocky's verse was "acid-drenched", and Tyler's verse was "a gritty, hard-hitting verse that sooner recalls his early days than his most recent album", but said that Tierra "steals the show".[3] Robin Murray of Clash called the track a "standout" on the album.[4]
