MADE IN FORTNITE AHH BEAT 😭🙏🙏

"Munch (Feelin’ U)" is a breakout single by Bronx rapper Ice Spice, released on August 10, 2022, and later included upcoming rapper, stray. At only 17 years old, stray remixed the song creating what lies before you. The song is a drill anthem characterized by a minimalist, hard-hitting beat produced by RiotUSA and a confident, catchy delivery that quickly made it a viral sensation, especially on TikTok.

At its core, "Munch" is a bold, playful assertion of self-worth and independence. Lyrically, Ice Spice addresses a man who is infatuated with her, labeling him a "munch"-a term she popularized through the track. In the context of the song, a "munch" refers to someone who is overly eager to please, particularly a man who performs oral s*x without receiving anything in return or who is otherwise easily taken advantage of. Ice Spice has described a munch as "just an eater or somebody that's like obsessed with you," and sometimes even as a "hater"-but, as she notes, either way, they're obsessed.

The chorus, “You thought I was feelin’ you? / That n***a a munch,” became instantly quotable and emblematic of the song’s attitude. The lyrics blend s*xual innuendo and internet-savvy wordplay, painting the "munch" as a clueless, subservient male-a "dummy, a sucker, a simp," as described by Pitchfork. This framing flips traditional gender dynamics, positioning Ice Spice as a self-assured "baddie" who gets what she wants and is unapologetic about her desires and standards.

The song’s viral success was fueled by its infectious hook, relatable scenarios, and the empowerment embedded in its message. It resonated with listeners for its blend of humor, confidence, and cultural commentary, sparking trends and memes across social media platforms. "Munch (Feelin’ U)" not only established Ice Spice as a trendsetting artist but also introduced a new piece of slang to the cultural lexicon, further cementing her influence on contemporary hip-hop and internet culture.
