bbno$ & y2k – lalala

You’re right, you are old…

Ian Mathers: TFW the memed part is the best bit of the song (big mood).

Will Adams: Another entry in the burgeoning genre of “TikTok meme trap” built on that ever annoying faked blooper trope from an artist whose “first song ever was him simply laughing over a ‘Chief Keef type beat’ after a blunt with his friends,” which sounds about right.

Crystal Leww: The melody works and the beat is fine. This is a pop track masquerading as a hip hop troll track, but the white, suburban, TikTok teen fans of bbno$ and y2k won’t care about those details. It’s annoying! We already have a Lil Nas X making nonsense like “Panini” – why do we need a couple of white boys to get famous doing a worse version of joke meme rap? (I do know.)

Will Rivitz: I mean, “TikTok Bazzi” would (and probably did) fly in a Columbia Records A&R meeting, at least.

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Some artists pass off laziness as cool remove, but bbno$ is so clearly angling for meme-driven success that even his lack of interest in finishing his lines or knowing his singular melody seems put-on. y2k’s beat is no better, evoking low quality PC game soundtracks circa 2002 and GarageBand tutorials. It’s not even rancid or shocking like other bottom tier TikTok memes — it’s a miss, not a hit.

Jonathan Bradley: This is far too insubstantial a song to bother with, so I’ll review it as a meme. As a meme, “lalala” is a weak reflux of the lip-synched, single-actor conversation composed of reverse-angle cuts that characterized “Go Hard (La.La.La.),” but with none of the wit, malleability, or narrative flair.

Joshua Minsoo Kim: The meme associated with this song isn’t even good, but you could watch 12 of them in the time it takes to finish the song and it would be a much more rewarding experience.
