Comment: White rappers… I’ve returned to “Rockstar” every week for eight weeks straight while writing this run down of the Top 10 Singles, and I think I can hear what you are hearing: that rockstar repeat/rhyme works as a hook, the autotuned bridge is strong, and 21 Savage’s work is a great contradistinction to Post’s verses. Meanwhile,”No Limit” is much easier to hear, that “fuck with me and get some money” is not “money moves” (Cardi B is featured) but it is good. Cardi B comes in around the half way and while she ain’t great, it is a smart smart little break in sound.
