In Megan Thee Stallion’s new album, Something for the Hotties, she revisits her common message of female empowerment and the strength derived from independence. 

Megan connects these recurring themes in her music to her own life in songs like “Southside Forever Freestyles” and “All of It,”  in which she discusses her path to fame. She frequently references how her own independence has allowed her to persevere in the music industry and avoid being intimidated by her male counterparts as well as those who have doubted her in the past. 

This idea of ignoring the backlash she receives is recognized in songs like “Megan’s Piano.” 

Although the album does not stray from her past work, it successfully emphasizes Megan’s capabilities in a genre largely dominated by men. 

People have criticized Megan’s music in the past for lacking versatility; however, her work seems to repeatedly reinforce her ability to rely solely on her rapping skills. This ability is unique, as most women who focus their efforts in the rap genre almost always have to incorporate some form of singing or soft vocals into songs to gain success.

The album lacks any type of “true” singing, maintaining an energetic beat throughout the entire album.
