"Hate Me" is a song by American rappers Lil Yachty and Ian, released on July 26, 2024 with an accompanying music video directed by Cole Bennett. It was produced by Childboy.
Composition
[edit]The lyrics find the artists bragging to and criticizing their enemies,[1][2] while the beat has been described by critics as "humming, fizzing"[3] and "cyber-equestrian bounce". Ian performs in a calm flow that has been compared to that of rapper Swapa.[4] At one point Lil Yachty boasts he is "richer than your favorite rapper", followed with the line "If I'm not, then, God, kill my momma".[5]
Critical reception
[edit]Mano Sundaresan of Pitchfork praised the song for Ian's "gleefully fried punchlines that made his breakout song 'Figure It Out' instantly memorable" and commented "Yachty is comparatively a non-factor, a flashy name to attract Kai Cenat devotees and Despicable Me 4 fans to the Cole Bennett–directed video".[4] Aaron Williams of Uproxx also reacted favorably toward Ian's performance, writing the song "gives the young rapper plenty of space to show off his lyrical talents."[2]
