“Bussin” by Moneybagg Yo, featuring Rob49, is a celebratory anthem for the hedonistic elements of hip-hop lifestyle. This track is all about the pursuit of lust, luxury and excess, with explicit lyrical content that reflects a sexually charged atmosphere and a fondness for women who aren’t afraid to express their sexuality.
The phrase “ain’t none better than a ten, that’s a slut” sets the tone for the song. It’s a celebration of women who are considered dimes (a ten on a scale of attractiveness) and who are comfortable with their sexuality. Calling them “slut” is a bit of hip-hop’s counter-cultural language — it’s not meant derogatorily but rather is an embrace of these women’s freedom and boldness.
They’re the ones, according to Moneybagg, that “already be wet before you touch it”, expressing their initiative and eager participation in sexual activities.
“Bussin'” in this context is a slang term referring to something being exceptionally good or impressive. The term is repeated throughout the song’s hook, describing everything from a woman’s appearance (“Face card bussin’, middle part bussin’, French tips bussin'”) to her sexual capabilities (“Grade-A suction, gave me a concussion”).
The usage of ‘bussin’ as the song’s central motif is an assertive expression of Moneybagg’s appreciation for a woman who’s not just physically attractive, but is also sexually confident and active.
Digging deeper into the song, lines like “Doggy style, turn around, give me fiddy” and “Spit in my mouth, baby, bring me closer when we fucking” detail explicit situations of sexual activity. Moneybagg Yo isn’t one to shy away from graphic lyricism, painting a picture that’s not cowardly about its explicit content.
The verse that goes, “Pretty girls the best, I keep bad hoes to myself / Let’s have rich sex, grip my tank top when we fucking” shows a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle that often accompanies hip-hop fame. It’s not just about the women, but about the financial opulence that allows for experiences like “rich sex”.
And notice, there’s a sense of possession (“I keep bad hoes”), further underlining the uninhibited, alpha-male persona that often characterizes hip-hop lyrics.
In sum, “Bussin” is a bold, unfiltered expression of adult themes within hip-hop culture. Moneybagg Yo and Rob49 have crafted a track that confidently indulges in the pleasures of the body and the good life, all wrapped up in catchy hooks and rhythmic verses that make this song a banger.
