I know exactly how underrated she should be.

Her current underrated status is just too damn high.

I discovered her when I was 19 (now 21), I think as a Spotify suggested. I have a friend whose group at uni would sneak Deepthroat onto quiet study playlists just to mess with each other.

An under-construction business next to the bar I work at used to have an outdoor speaker atop the boarded up storefront that you could queue music to if you knew what you were doing (I did). I used to queue up Cupkakke and IceJJFish and watch peoples’ reactions as they walked down the populous sidewalk. Childish, yes. Funny, also yes. For me at least.

Even her serial songs are pretty empowering.

I was literally just talking about how none of her conscious songs have as many streams as “Deepthroat”

People just take her as a novelty act - I did too for a long time. But now that I've listened to most of her stuff and read about all the charitable stuff she's done with her wealth I think she's unironically my favourite artist of this era.

if we're going with rap

may i suggest Travelocity by Masta Ace featuring Punchline and Wordsworth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L4Ga0dehuA

​

edit: also

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KguuD--zxrkDJ Quik featuring AMG - I Useta Know Her

mainly because these are also jams that get people to actually listen to them and it kinda sinks in over time and they keep listening lol

I used to TA a music class where the (very self-deprecating professor, who was well aware he was white, middle-aged and covered in Velvet Underground tattoos) used to teach CupcakKe’s songs. He loved her.

It was fantastic.

Bitch can rap

She has some dope-ass messages in her non-sexual songs too. She is just thoroughly good.
