“WAP” is a nasty-ass rap bop, bursting with the personality of two of rap’s most congenial household names. It’s been nine months since Cardi B released a track, making her link-up with captain hottie Megan Thee Stallion even more special. Over a sample of Baltimore club DJ Frank Ski’s “There’s Some Whores in This House,” both women reclaim the phrase as they spell out all of the freaky things they can and will do. The song’s internet-breaking video—featuring other artists like Sukihana, Normani, Mulatto, and Rubi Rose dancing and posing in a dream-like mansion—makes this evident. Cardi and Megan have crafted their careers around empowering women to own the power of their bodies, without waiting on men for permission or instruction; they are unruffled by respectability politics and slut-shaming, choosing instead to use these outdated tropes for fuel. And when it comes to how good they are at sex, they leave little to the imagination and no room for debate.

Cardi kicks off “WAP” with force, pushing out her words in her classic throaty style. It sounds as if she’s inching up close to her partner’s ear as she breaks down the name of the song. “Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy/Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy,” she warns before diving into her verse. Her unrushed pacing makes it impossible to miss any of her X-rated couplets: “I wanna gag, I wanna choke/I want you to touch that little dangly thing that swing in the back of my throat.”

Megan attacks the throbbing bass beat in haste. “Gobble me, swallow me/Drip down inside of me/Quick jump out ’fore you let it get inside of me,” she raps. Like Cardi, she states what her body needs to reach this level of excitement. Her stellar performance is contingent on whether the other party is equipped to match what she’s bringing; she won’t be the only one with gifts. Megan’s humor lightens her naughty lyrics with outlandish metaphors: “In the food chain, I’m the one that eat ya/If he ate my ass, he’s a bottom feeder.”

While it’s easy to get hung up on the lyrical shock factor of “WAP,” the detailed play-by-play in the verses doesn’t aim to impress guys—and that, the song suggests, is why Cardi and Meg’s expertise is credible. They center themselves as women in order to freely celebrate their coveted power, sex appeal, and A1 WAP.
