Highlights

I have decided to finally talk about Ice Spice's EP.

Honestly, I don't like Ice Spice, and most people don't.

I'll be more surprised if I see someone who likes Ice Spice.

I haven't listened to Future's album yet, and Lil Tecca's album either.

Do I hate the EP? I think it's not bad, but it's not good.

I feel like Ice Spice has a little bit of potential, but I'm not saying she's good.

I think she has something like Megan Thee Stallion or GloRilla, where she's for parties and stuff.

I think she's better than Sexyy Red.

That one song that got popular, 'Feeling You,' is alright.

That Nicki Minaj song was also alright, but this EP just exists.

Her EP is almost as long as her album, and it's stupid.

The Lil Tjay feature is good, and I kind of liked 'Bikini Bottom.'

I wish the EP was more interesting.

There are maybe one to two songs I liked, maybe three, but the rest are forgettable.

I think Ice Spice might end up like Sexyy Red—still making music but falling off every now and then.

The Sexyy Red album was also terrible, and Lil Tecca's album is pretty bad too.

This album, or more like EP, had potential but didn't deliver.

I'm feeling a 3 on this one.
