Hot Girl Meg, famously known as Megan Thee Stallion has officially reclaimed Summer 2024. With the release of her third studio release album MEGAN, her new single "Mamushi" alongside featured Japanese rapper, Yuki Chiba being celebrated with a trending dance challenge on Tiktok and Instagram, and also the commencement of her widely anticipated sold-out 2024 arena world tour, Megan Thee Stallion's name has taken the world by storm once again. As we continue to turn up our Hot Girl Summer for 2024, here are the top 10 Songs I recommend as a veteran "Hottie" to any new listeners to make you feel beautiful, confident, and untouchable in your new Hottie era!
"Neva"
At number 1, we have Thee Stallion's single known as "Neva", likely one of the most streamed songs on her 2018 EP, Tina Snow. Just as this EP pays tribute to fellow Houston rap Legend, Pimp C, known to many as his alter badass ego, Tony Snow, Megan channels her similar alter ego known as Tina into this single. In this single, Tina is an activated persona that channels a unique pimp-like personality for a woman, affirming that nobody can mess with her or get in the way of her success. Rapping with a real swag and invulnerable attitude, topping it off with that famous southern Hot Girl sex appeal, Megan Thee Stallion's "Neva" is a certified Hottie anthem for you to feel like your most powerful and badass version of yourself for the summer!
"Realer"
In this 2019 lead hit single, "Realer", part of her official debut mixtape known as Fever, the Stallion "brings the heat" to listeners, as mentioned on the mixtape cover. This song is yet another banger for the baddies, where she disses the critics and the haters who criticized her for her success earlier in her career and shows love to her Hotties, her day-ones, and even artists such as City Girls' JT, who have supported her early on in her rap game. Perfect for partying with friends, adding some heat to your gym playlist, or even when you're in the mood to feel like you're the most real, authentic version of yourself, this is yet another underrated, recommended bop for the new Hotties!
"Big Ole Freak"
This 2018 hit single is raunchy, sexy, and scandalous. Part of her 2018 EP Tina Snow, Megan embraces her feminine charm and generous sex appeal with this song. In addition to its sensual nature, this song provides samples of Al B Sure!'s 1988 song "Nite and Day" and "Is It Love This Time" by Immature in its intro. "Big Ole Freak" embraces Meg's sexier side and how her personality, charisma, and southern beauty make many fall in love with her and never want to leave. Perfect for if you want to feel your most sexy and your most beautiful, the song gives every listener a unique confidence that allows them to embrace sexuality within others and themselves.
"Hot Girl"
Coming up, we have Track two on Tina Snow, "Hot Girl". This 2018 hit is another party anthem on the EP, which continues to embrace Megan's pimp alter-ego while adding a confident and sexy kicker in the form of a high-energy song that is perfect for the club or a night out with best friends. If you're looking for a song that will turn you up anywhere, every time, and that will make you feel unbothered by negativity and in your own element, go ahead and add "Hot Girl" to that playlist!
"Not Nice"
2022 Megan enters a new element from Tina Snow back in 2019, one who is far more vulnerable about her pain, and trauma, and embracing her healing from the pain. This song is part of her second studio album, released in 2022, Traumazine, where Megan addresses the hurt and betrayal she felt from those closest to her, surviving a gun attempt from one of her former industry friends (Tory Lanez), and her learning how to move forward without anyone left in her corner. The song is about Megan learning to re-embrace her confidence, confronting and separating herself from those who've hurt her and officially standing up for herself upon recognizing her worth at her lowest point. For anyone who has been hurt recently and is learning to love themselves again, "Not Nice" is not only a letter to herself but a love letter to anyone in similar circumstances.
"STALLI FREESTYLE"
As you may have noticed, this next recommended song is actually one of many Megan Thee Stallion freestyles released as tracks. In this track, not only does Megan continue channeling Tina Snow through her tone and delivery, but she also switches up the flows in her tracks almost four different times while also continuously utilizing onomatopes, which is inherently unique to Megan in particular as it separates her from most rap artists. While the beats and the melodies themselves stays relatively the same throughout the song, Megan fiercely maneuvers her way across the beat in several distinctly different flows. The freestyle itself is perfect to listen to as an actual track, making listeners increasingly hype as the bars get better and better. It's a perfect song to get you in the zone.
"NDA"
Up next, we have the Number one Track on Traumazine. "NDA" borders on becoming diss track as Megan indirectly confronts many of the men who are both her biggest critics and who have generally participated in her humiliation over the years since her incident involving Tory Lanez. Similarly to "Not Nice", Megan channels a bold, confrontational nature in this song involving anyone who disrespects her, including suing blogs who spread misinformation. This no-nonsense, self-affirming song is perfect for those about to enter a new chapter in their life while also reflecting upon Megan's natural talent and authentic rap style.
"B.I.T.C.H"
Part of her third official EP, SUGA, our next recommended song is Megan's hit song "B.I.T.C.H". Sampling Tupac's iconic 1996 hit song, 'Ratha Be Ya N****", from his album All Eyez On Me, Megan offers a refreshing side of her that reaffirms herself worth after coming out of a toxic relationship and coming to terms with how to she should reassure herself of being "that girl" while reflecting on societal expectations on how women should generally behave. "B.I.T.C.H" is an empowering song, allowing many listeners to identify with the message about women embracing themselves, and how we are more than enough.
"WTF I Want"
Initially released as a single, later to become part of Tina Snow, Megan Thee Stallion offers another certified banger that embraces her Houston roots and begins that slow transition into her Snow alter ego. "WTF I Want" delivers on rap alone, as Megan switches up flows at least four times over the same tempo and beat. While serving as an anthem for listeners to feel confident and gangster, this song also deserves the recognition mainly for Megan's raw natural talent. Perfect for the gym, running errands, or even just being in your own space, "WTF I Want" is a song suited for every occasion.
"Anxiety"
Last, but not least, we have Megan's 11th track on Traumazine: "Anxiety". This is one of Megan's most vulnerable songs, where she addresses her ongoing struggles with anxiety and depression, succumbing to things like excessive drinking and coping with the loss of her mother, who is one of her biggest influences and her catalyst in making rap her career. The song brings almost every listener to tears as she talks about writing a letter to heaven to her mother, and how even the people who are perceived to be at their best can have bad days. This song has helped reassure millions of listeners that it is okay to not be okay, to come to terms with their mental health, and learning how to slowly bounce back from tough times. Ff you're not feeling your best and want to feel understood by someone, here is "Anxiety".
