Weird – YG
YG Gets Gritty With New Single “Weird,” Throws Shade on Upcoming Album “Just Re’d Up 3”
West Coast OG YG is back with a vengeance, dropping the brand new single “Weird” to get fans hyped for his upcoming album “Just Re’d Up 3.” This banger serves as the third single off the project, following “KNOCKA” and the Lil Wayne collab “Miss My Dawgs,” and it’s a full-on return to his Compton roots.
Forget the trap vibes of recent tracks – “Weird” is all about that classic YG sound. This hard-hitting, aggressive cut throws it back to his debut album “My Krazy Life,” reminding everyone why he’s a West Coast legend. The production is pure thumping West Coast energy, and he rides the beat like a champ, dropping bars that call out unnamed rappers as “oddballs.”
YG paints himself as the king of the game, flexing his lyrical muscles with lines like “Point the .40 at a n**** ’til it click, click, click, click / N***s weird, pillow-talkin’ to hes / You don’t support the bros, you ain’t livin’ by the code.” It’s the kind of confidence that only he can pull off.
This new single is a major shift from the trap-influenced tracks we’ve heard lately. “Weird” is a straight-up return to the gritty G-funk and classic hip-hop sounds that made him a West Coast icon. For longtime fans, it’s a welcome trip down memory lane, a raw and in-your-face reminder of the fire that defined projects like “My Krazy Life.”
Get ready to crank up the volume, because “Weird” is a surefire sign that “Just Re’d Up 3” is going to be a return to form for YG. This album, confirmed as a studio LP and not a mixtape, marks over a decade since the last installment in the “Re’d Up” series.
