This time next year, Rodney, we'll be millionaires

Homeboy Sandman & Luke Warmth - Heet
(From Heet single; 2026)


The fact that Homeboy Sandman songs have always walked a very fine tightrope between endearing and embarrassing is part of the appeal for me. But when he takes a tumble into embarrassing it's always a Hans Gruber-level plummet. The production on Heet sounds like it should have been Ultimate Force's follow up single to I'm Not Playing, and that's the spoonful of sugar to make Sandman's line about buying crypto go down my gully hole smoothly. A cryptocurrency line in 2026 is cringeworthy enough in its own right, but it's hilariously embarrassing coming from the guy who made a song about how money is evil a couple of years back. Even Jim Jones doesn't rhyme about cryptocurrency anymore and he's the guy who spent a couple of years shilling "Capo Coin." Tha Blockchain Is Hot no more.

Just popping in to nominate Nas' Git Ready as a strong contender in an already strong field for being his worst song OAT.

If you want aging-rapper-turned-capitalist rap done well, look no further than Slick Rick's Landlord.

I may brave a Git Ready listen later.
