Dombal: That’s a lot of minutes.
Herrera: It is. And I personally feel that it can get very repetitive, just returning to the trap sound over and over and over. It’s a very streaming-era album, where it can feel like the whole point is to maximize streaming. But it’s also a little disappointing thematically, because he’s returning to the same topics. He loves to talk about sex and he loves to flex, which is very fun, but he doesn’t do it with the same excitement and talent and skill that he has done in the past.
Dombal: I have to add that he is a little bit ahead of us as far as people criticizing him in the podcast format, because on the song “Monaco,” which is one of the better tracks, he’s talking about haters and says something like, “You’re not rappers anymore, now you’re podcasters.”
Herrera: And on the intro, he’s like, “Oh, lots of podcasts, lots of baboso,” which is like “dumbasses,” basically.
Dombal: So Bad Bunny hating podcasts is a major theme on this record! [laughs] And as a podcaster, I can’t help but feel personally affronted.
Julianne Escobedo Shepherd: So this is your answer track.
Dombal: Yeah, exactly.
Herrera: Bad Bunny, you have 24 hours to respond!
