"Think U the Shit (Fart)" is a song by the American rapper Ice Spice.[2][3] It was released on January 26, 2024, through 10K Projects and Capitol Records, as the lead single from her debut studio album, Y2K!.[4] The song was produced and co-written by RiotUSA, Synthetic, and Venny.[5][6]

Background and release

[edit]

On January 7, 2024, Ice Spice took to social media to preview the song.[7] Just a week later, Ice Spice was seen recording a music video to the track.[8] Before the release of the track, it gained large success online and on TikTok.[9] Ice Spice officially announced the single the day before its release on January 26.[10]

Lyrics

[edit]

In the song, Ice Spice uses a play on words to reduce someone with a big ego (slang term: the shit) to being less than a fart. Whereas the literal terms are closely connected and related to bowel movements, the slang terms exist on opposite ends of the respectability spectrum.[citation needed]

Ice Spice revealed through an appearance on Twitter Spaces that the song was targeted at the rapper Latto, who posted a small clip of her then-unreleased song "Sunday Service" with the music video for Ice Spice's song "Pretty Girl" being slightly visible on the TV in the background. Latto denied that she purposely put the music video back there in several interviews. However, regarding her reaction, Ice Spice stated:

"Seeing that I'm in the back of your weak ass snippet? I was like, 'Wait a second, that's me?' So I'm like, 'Since we're talking about me, let's talk about me.' It was really just a snippet. I was like, 'This has to be fake. This is AI.' But bitches be bold, so I was like, 'Oh, we're being bold today."[11]

Music video

[edit]

The George Buford and Frederick Buford-directed music video was filmed in Miami on January 13, 2024, and was released alongside the track. In the video, Ice Spice "is seen twerking and partying around the city, holding stacks of cash in high-end cars and vibing with her friends on boats".[12]
