No problem…

Iain Mew: There’s something about the echo and minimal beats that gives the impression of being a tiny part of something huge and settled. Put that together with Rae Sremmurd’s squeaky likeableness and the message of going with the flow, and “No Type” is weirdly comforting for something so cold sounding.

Alfred Soto: Their voices sound a bit like Raphael Saadiq in his TTT days, and as they showed in “No Flex Zone” have the same relaxed confidence in their ability to woo, no matter how boneheaded their jive.

Anthony Easton: I love how small this is, how slow, and how for all that fronting about (the now clichéd) bad bitches, he is still worried about what his mama thinks.

Thomas Inskeep: Mike WiLL Made-It tries to do that DJ Mustard ultra-minimalist thing, but does it so “well” it ends up sounding boring: there’s no there there. The brothers of Rae Sremmurd, meanwhile, sound like two teenagers who have entered a radio-station rap battle contest, talking about how they only like “bad bitches.” I like the “extension cord” line, though.

Jonathan Bogart: So much of the subtext of woozy Mike WiLL songs has been an adolescent refusal to choose, to commit, to do anything but navel-gaze with a stoner’s grimness, that making it text turns out oddly charming.

Micha Cavaseno: A better beat and worse rapping than “No Flex Zone.” Rae Sremmurd were not born, they were created in a lab somewhere to provide pop-rap that’s remarkably inoffensive in every way.
