Wednesday 7/8: Sauce Twinz—"Big Drip Squad" (Feat. Sada Baby and Sauce Gohan)
Today, we share our thoughts on "Big Drip Squad” by the Houston rappers Sauce Twinz (feat. Sada Baby and Sauce Gohan).
Welcome to Endless Scroll, the brainchild of Eli Enis (he/him) and Eric Bennett (they/them). Since Feb. 2019, we’ve been a weekly podcast about music, the internet, and where those two things intersect. Now we’re, also a M-F newsletter about songs. Our format is simple: a link to a song and a short take from each of us about what we think of it. Each day of the week has a corresponding genre: Monday is indie, Tuesday is punk, Wednesday is hip-hop, Thursday is pop, and Friday is misc.
Today, we share our thoughts on "Big Drip Squad” by the Houston rappers Sauce Twinz (feat. Sada Baby and Sauce Gohan). We’re joined by official Endless Scroll hip-hop contributor Michael Brooks.
Sauce Twinz—“Big Drip Squad” (Feat. Sada Baby and Sauce Gohan)
Michael Brooks:
Sauce Twinz, the duo consisting of Houston rappers Sauce Walka and Sancho Saucy, released the Lost In The Sauce mixtape back in April, containing the outstanding posse cut “Big Drip Squad”. The track, which features Sada Baby and Sauce Gohan, approaches rap like a full contact sport—there’s no chorus on “Big Drip Squad,” just four minutes of one-liners, flexes, and straight bars. Sauce Walka and Sada Baby are kindred spirits, two incredibly charismatic personalities who make music entirely on their own terms, but Sancho Saucy steals the show with the final verse, dropping lines like “Make her sell pussy off the flip phone/Then I put forty-point diamonds in my earlobe.” I would most certainly be remiss if I didn’t mention the music video, which is every bit as infectious and energetic as the song, Sada Baby leading the MC’s in choreographed dances. It’s absolutely incredible, and further proof that Sada Baby is miles ahead of the competition in 2020.
Eli Enis:
“Big Drip Squad” is every bit as blustery, rambunctious, and outrageous as you’d expect from a song in which three of the featured rappers have “Sauce” in their name. Each MC has the personality of the unpredictable wild guy in the crew—real life of the party types—so hearing them each step up to the plate and smack 16 homers a piece is a helluva derby. The video is a midnight hootenanny of the rappers and their pals wriggling on the hoods of Bentley’s and Benz’s, flashing gold-encrusted grins, and waving gigantic wads of cash around. However, the medal really does go to Sada Baby, who leads the crew like he’s some sort of shirtless Zumba instructor. His dance is a cross between some kind of reanimated Drip Mummy and whatever the guy does in that video of him emerging from a coffin on the back of a moving flatbed. Honestly, the whole song has the energy of that video, a joyously ridiculous demonstration of uncut bars and “pills in your bootyhole”-type fuckery. At least some people are having fun during this torturous slog of a summer.
