Before the phrase “Hot Girl Summer” was?co-opted?by Wendy’s and Maybelline, it was just a cute proclamation?Megan Thee Stallion?first made back in?April 2018, letting the world know that she and her fellow hot girl friends were ready to run the entire season. Over the past year, as Megan?broke into the mainstream, “Hot Girl Summer” became an entire movement—one that stands for carefree attitudes, skimpy outfits,?gas-station?twerking, and unbothered coolness. And though Megan has clarified the?phrase is gender-neutral, “Hot Girl Summer” is still first and foremost for black women like her, who refuse to let men criticise or police their bodies.

“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”這一熱詞由溫迪漢堡和美寶蓮等品牌爭相引用之前，只是Megan Thee Stallion在2018年4月所做出的一個熱辣宣言。她向全世界宣告，她和她的火辣女孩們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好玩酷整個夏日。在過去一年里，Megan成功進(jìn)入主流市場，“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”也隨之成為了一場現(xiàn)象級活動--崇尚無所顧慮，衣著性感，高冷玩酷，同時也推廣了加油站電臀舞。盡管Megan本人解釋這個短語性別中立，同樣適用于男性，但其主要引用者還是與她一樣的黑人女性們，她們以此來宣告拒絕男性評判和支配自己的身體。

As Megan seeks to trademark her phrase, she’s enlisted?newfound mentor?Nicki Minaj?and king of R&B hooks?Ty Dolla $ign?to create its official anthem.?Juicy J?is also on board, providing a throwback Memphis hip-hop beat that nods to another brazen female rapper by sampling?City Girls’ JT. Ty’s hook gives the song a certain nonchalance, a chilled-out counterweight to the fiery hot girl attitude. It’s a little annoying to see him wind up center stage—a “Hot Girl Summer” means rejecting a male gaze, and yet it’s Ty who gets to use Meg’s catchphrase the most. Still, Megan and Nicki bring the heat, boasting in their respective verses about pathetic suitors and empowered sexuality. “Hot Girl Summer” proves that, unsurprisingly, hot girls are more powerful in numbers.

在Megan力圖成功申請“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”為自己獨(dú)有商標(biāo)的同時，她力邀前輩Nicki Minaj和R&B副歌之王Ty Dolla $ign前來助陣，共同創(chuàng)作官方主題曲。Juicy J也加入了合作陣營，他截錄了說唱組合City Girls成員之一JT的一段復(fù)古孟菲斯說唱伴奏，以此向這位風(fēng)格同樣大膽的女性說唱歌手致敬。TY的hook部分則為這首歌添加了一抹冷靜漠然的色彩，恰到好處地與歌曲中性感女孩們熾烈的情緒相平衡。不過，看到他在舞臺中央以這首歌收尾，觀眾們可能會有些不爽。畢竟，“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”意味著不屑于男性的目光，然而TY，卻是在這首歌中唱Meg的標(biāo)志性語句“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”次數(shù)最多的男性。盡管如此，Megan和Nicki照樣燃爆整首歌，她們在各自歌詞的字里行間，都以一種霸氣的口吻表現(xiàn)出她們對其追求者的不屑以及對性的主導(dǎo)權(quán)。毫不意外地，“Hot Girl Summer（辣妹夏日）”向我們證明，個性火辣的女孩們越來越多，也越來越強(qiáng)大。
