Last Christmas Eve,?Megan Thee Stallion?delivered a now-deleted video message to fans on Instagram. With an uncharacteristically bare face and a casual red hoodie, she addressed the March 2019 deaths of her mother and grandmother more candidly than ever before. “It’s really hard for me to open up and be vulnerable most times,” she wrote in the caption.

Megan’s music, with its sharp bravado, rarely dabbles in the personal—which makes her latest release, “B.I.T.C.H.,” a surprising change of course. The relationships with men she raps about often sound transactional, but here, she confronts an inept boyfriend who’s ignoring her feelings: “You say you want respect, well, treat me how you wanna be treated/You told me keep it real, but you don’t practice what you preachin’.” The chorus is dotted with delicate singing that recalls the similarly sensitive “Big Drank,” from last year’s?Fever. Interpolating and inverting Tupac’s “Ratha Be Ya Nigga” over the same Bootsy Collins sample, Megan pushes her subject away rather than trying to draw him closer. She’s not just hurt; she’s the heroine, and her trademark confidence complements the slinky retro beat.

去年平安夜，Megan Thee Stallion在instagram上向粉絲們發(fā)布了一條視頻消息（現(xiàn)已刪除）。視頻中，Megan穿了一件普通的紅色連帽衛(wèi)衣，罕見地以素顏示人，她從未如此坦率地談到自己母親和祖母于2019年三月份去世的事，她用全大寫的字母寫道：“很多時候，我其實很難敞開心扉讓別人看到自己脆弱的一面”。

這樣的Megan一向不會讓自己的音樂帶上過多的個人色彩，這也讓這次的新歌“B.I.T.C.H.”顯得更加與眾不同。在Megan的其他歌曲中，兩性關(guān)系一般是相互的，但是在這首歌中，Megan面對的男友是一個不會照顧Megan感受的無能之人：“You say you want respect, well, treat me how you wanna be treated/You told me keep it real, but you don’t practice what you preachin’（你說你想要得到尊重，那就先尊重一下我；你說你想保持真實，但是你卻無法做到）” 。合唱部分點綴著精致的歌聲，讓人回想起去年的專輯《Fever》中同樣讓人感觸的“Big Drank”。在Boosty Collins相同采樣的基礎(chǔ)上穿插和倒置了Tupac的“Ratha Be Ya Nigga”，Megan沒有將自己的主旨拉近反而將其推遠。她受過傷，但是她也是頑強的女英雄，她用自己標志性的自信嗓音填補了復(fù)古的緊湊節(jié)拍。
