"Hot Shit" is a song by American rapper Cardi B featuring fellow American rappers Kanye West, and Lil Durk.[1] It was released on July 1, 2022, through Atlantic Records as the third single from Cardi B's upcoming second studio album.[2] The three rappers wrote the song alongside Pardison Fontaine and Bunny Wailer and with producers Tay Keith and BanBwoi.[3]

Background

"Hot Shit" was first announced during a commercial that occurred during the BET Awards 2022.[4] In an interview with Zane Lowe, Cardi B remarked that the song was "older than 'WAP'", with the original demo dating back to 2019.[5]

On June 26, 2022, Cardi B released a preview for the song on Twitter, adding that she had "another surprise" for her fans to be revealed the next day. The surprise was the cover art for "Hot Shit", as well as the announcement of the song's features, Kanye West and Lil Durk.[6] On the song's cover art, Cardi B pays homage to rapper Lil' Kim.[7]

Composition

According to Cardi B, "Hot Shit" deviates from her previous raunchy music, featuring a new more "masculine" sound that is "great for the clubs."[8] Daily Beast concurred, describing the song as "manly".[7] Cardi B's verse in "Hot Shit" includes references to the wrestler Jimmy Snuka. The song also contains a sample from Marcia Griffiths's 1983 track "Electric Boogie".[9]

Music video

The official music video was directed by Lado Kvataniya. It was released on July 13, 2022, after being delayed for two weeks after the release of the single.[10] The video begins with Cardi towering over New York City before strutting down the communications tower of a skyscraper, and depicts her being set ablaze by two robotic arms and decked out in icy jewelry. Lil Durk and West appear later in the video to deliver their verses in equally over-the-top CGI settings.[8]
