Cupcakke Repurposes 50 Cent’s Breakout Hit To Call Out Her Contemporaries On ‘How To Rob (Remix)’
Cupcakke goes after Cardi B, Lizzo, Doja Cat, Lil Baby, DaBaby, and just about everybody else in hip-hop. …
On 50 Cent’s 1999 single “How To Rob,” the rapper called out a bunch of his hip-hop contemporaries. Now, over two decades later, Cupcakke has done the same thing on her own version of the track, the appropriately titled “How To Rob (Remix).” The full list of people Cupcakke mentions on the song by name includes Sada Baby, Lady Gaga, Migos, Offset, Wiz Khalifa, Tory Lanez, Too Short, Young M.A., Lizzo, Lil Baby, Cardi B, Doja Cat, Sukihana, Lil Durk, City Girls, Megan Thee Stallion, Tekashi 69, DaBaby, Lil Kim, Chief Keef, G Herbo, Mulatto, Flo Milli, and DreamDoll.
She doesn’t pull punches on any of them either. She says of Cardi, “Runnin’ through your party just so I can find Cardi, like, ‘B*tch, I’m finna give you your old teeth back!’” Of Megan Thee Stallion, she raps, “Run up on Megan like, ‘Give me your funds,’ and you can’t even run ’cause you just got shot.” She also says of Lizzo, “Catch Lizzo, drag her out the food court,” and notes of DaBaby, “Pull up on DaBaby, I change his Pampers.”
It doesn’t look like she’s trying to start any feuds, though, as she says at the top of the track, “Gang, gang, gang / If you hear your name, it’s all muhf*ckin’ love, don’t take sh*t personal / But you know how I’m finna slap this b*tch.”

“nothing, anymore” by CharlieCityy stirs a cathartic dive into finding clarity in chaos
CharlieCityy, the Birmingham-based artist, spins a tangled web of indie rock grit and hyper-pop edge, expressing an unresolved chaos that often gets left unspoken with his new single, “nothing, anymore.” Influenced by the ethereal qualities of artists like Brakence and 2hollis, Charlie Cooper, professionally known as CharlieCityy, channels his inner sonic shaman and guides the audience through deeply personal waves of emotional purge, where rock-rooted catharsis meets trickling pop sensitivity.
From the opening chords, the audience is immersed in an introspective exploration of regret and disengagement that defies simple categorization. The lo-fi guitar melodies, evocative of the anxiety induced by rush hour traffic, intertwine to create a compelling tension that reflects CharlieCityy’s sense of emotional messiness and void. Rather than neatly reconciling his emotions, he exposes his wounds like those inevitably prodded. It’s echoing the relentless scrolling through one’s regrets, recognizing the absence of resolution but discovering an unexpected comfort.
“nothing, anymore” lyrically delivers impactful and enigmatic reflections that evoke moments in life that feel partially forgotten yet carry significant emotional weight, much like stumbling upon a fragmented grocery list that unwittingly stirs up memories of a past relationship. The anthemic chorus seamlessly bursts forth, melding the sonic landscape to encapsulate the essence of lingering regret with blunt honesty that never quite settles.
The production exemplifies a harmonious fusion of glistening pop elements and an assertive rock demeanor, beckoning listeners to immerse themselves in its intricacies. This juxtaposition attests to CharlieCityy’s proficiency in crafting simultaneously chaotic masterpieces within profoundly meaningful genres. It’s an ideal track for cathartic listening without resolution, leaving fans eager to anticipate more of his sonic ventures.
