Tyga is someone who has had a lot of ebbs and flows throughout his career. Overall, he is known as someone who truly burst onto the scene back in the early 2010s. He became an immediate hitmaker who collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the world. However, in the mid to late 2010s, something shifted as he began dating Kylie Jenner. His career took a bit of a hit, but then, he was able to get back on track with songs like "Taste."
That said, it has been a while since Tyga has come through with a certified hit. Although, he is definitely looking for some of that magic. After all, the summer is just a few days away, and the West Coast hitmaker is known for his summer jams. In fact, the artist recently took to social media where he showed off a snippet of a new song. This track even features a sample from Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby," which is a sample of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie.
Tyga Teases New Song
Unfortunately for Tyga, people are not feeling this new snippet at all. An account on Twitter posing as the real Pop Base made the claim that Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice will feature in the song. Overall, this is categorically false. However, that did not stop fans from sounding off on the sample and Tyga's vocals on the track. At this point, it is very clear that the rapper is going to have to go back to the drawing board on this one.
The Reactions
"Folks gotta start tappin in with original producers man," one user wrote. "It's so very difficult to be an avid sampling advocate when the most common mainstream examples include someone taking a once popular catchy hook and reusing it as, you guessed it, a catchy hook," said another. Based on these comments, Tyga would probably be best served by deleting the track and trying again with a different beat. Kid Cudi had to do this recently and it ended up working out in his favor.
