Megan Thee Stallions debut album was bound to be a victory lap.
Shed said everything she needed to about Lanezon Instagram Livesandin cover stories.
It took Megan just one song, not even three minutes long, to respond.
Theres no narrative to take back shes already done that.
Shots Fired is her putting the whole thing to bed, and getting the last laugh while doing it.
But Shots Fired is a diss trackin line with a long lineage of greats.
She builds it off one of the forms most infamous, samplingNotorious B.I.G.s 1995 hit Who Shot Ya.
At the same time, like all good diss tracks, Shots Fired is ashow.
You in your feelings, I just thought it was another Thursday.
She brings the receipts as she raps abouther physical woundsandthe hush moneyshe alleges Lanez offered.
But she never gets bogged down by literalism really, her best jabs write themselves.
I told himyoure not poppin, you just on the remix is one for the ages.
Between verses on Shots Fired, Meg laughs.
Imagine me entertaining you fuckin goofy-ass n- - - -s and you fuckin goofy-ass bitches, she says.
Shes not doing this for Lanez, or the internet trolls, or us only for her.
