Y2K! – Ice Spice’s debut album – has felt like a long time coming. The Bronx rapper first blew up two years ago with the Drake-approved Munch (Feelin' U), and has had a steady stream of hits ever since: from the PinkPantheress-assisted Boy's a Liar Pt. 2 and two Nicki Minaj link-ups (Princess Diana and Barbie soundtrack cut Barbie World) to a guest spot on Taylor Swift’s Karma remix.
Aside from a brief nod to Nicki – “Queen said I’m the princess,” she raps on Phat Butt – little of this gets a look in on Y2K! which instead meshes together witty brags and flourishes of toilet humour. “You think you the shit, bitch, you’re not even the fart,” is one of the best one-liners from the record belonging to the latter category, lending Think U The Shit (Fart) its incredibly matter-of-fact title.
