The guests (Lil Baby, Future, Megan Thee Stallion) are some of the most visible in hip-hop, but skew mostly to people he\u2019s long had relationships with. Topically, he covers ungrateful former lovers (\u201cU Played\u201d), the street-life-induced paranoia he can\u2019t seem to escape (\u201cPistol by da Bed\u201d), and the toll his success has taken on his accessibility (\u201cThinking Out Loud\u201d). He sheds his armor to reveal a romantic side in \u201cMatch My Fly\u201d and \u201cReal Luv,\u201d but nowhere does he sound more in his bag than on the Project Pat-sampling \u201cAll Dat,\u201d flirting endlessly with collaborator Megan Thee Stallion, at one point distilling his own charmingly gruff appeal in a single bar: \u201cShe be hearing I ain\u2019t s**t, but still she love me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though \u201ctime served\u201d most commonly refers to the experience of incarceration, in the case of Moneybagg Yo it means almost completely the opposite.
