Amine limbo poster1/8/2023 ![]() Having multiple guest stars on the track could lead to Amine being overshadowed, but he sets the tone for the song right from the jump. There’s a growing self-awareness on songs like “Pressure In My Palms” featuring slowthai and Vince Staples. He makes it clear on the track that he’s wearing his emotions on the outside, taking a relationship that went South badly, and everything he’s doing (including lashing out at times) is to try to recoup his ego and make the bruises go away - even if it might only be cosmetic.Īnd you know that I’m never too proud to begĪnd you know I’ma always wish you the best (lil bitch)īut you know I’ma always wish you the best”Īt first I interpreted Amine’s shallow and often misogynistic raps as a lack of depth on his part, but “ looking like wealth” as he says on “Shimmy” can now be viewed as “Compensation” for all the things eating away at him.

At the start he seems to be all alone at a football field out in Portland (where he’s from) but soon enough he’s shoulder to shoulder with four brothers in the back of a pickup, and soon enough he’s packed in even closer with dozens of dudes on delivery bikes. Witty, catchy, and instantaneously lovable.
