![]() What’s the creative chemistry between you two like? You and Future obviously have a deep working relationship. You might be in the studio with Kendrick or Cole, and you want to have them vibes ready to go. You’ve got to be prepared for when that time comes. I’m trying to just cram in as much work as I can because I know I’m going to have to start getting back out traveling soon. Drake even hit me like two days ago and was like, ‘I need more beats.’ It’s to the point where I’m not even trying to leave the studio. But right now, as you can imagine, it’s going crazy. Has your phone has been blowing up since this song came out?Ī lot of artists have always been hitting us up. And the good just outweighs the bad in this case. ![]() So you just got to take the good with the bad. And with any song that comes out, it’s going to be a lot of people that like it and it’s going to be a lot of people that don’t like it. It’s funny, my trainer, he loves this kind of music, so I’ll walk in the gym and he’s playing it as I’m walking in and I think he’s like fifty-something. You can be at the gas station and you’ll see somebody’s dad who’s 50-years-old pulling up bumping that shit. Even though the lyrics might not be for the super young, I feel like the beat can be for them. Have you received any feedback from older people who remember the song when it came out? So it was like, ‘If we’re going to sample something, that’s the only thing you can put in there.’ And with Future, he was already singing that line. I’m a very nostalgic person so I love everything from the Nineties and Eighties and early 2000s and stuff like that. Is it crazy to see how many young people remember that song? He was like, ‘man, add this sample in there.’ And my boy who is his engineer, he was like, ‘I got it.’ He found the sample and put that little piece in the beginning. But that sample was actually Future’s idea. And you would hear it in movies all the time. I heard the song when I was a kid, just being five or six years old and seeing the video on MTV - vintage MTV. How’d you land on the sample? Do you remember the first time you heard the original “I’m Too Sexy”? He also discussed some of the lessons he’s learned producing hit records over the years and gave us a hint of what to expect from his upcoming projects with Pi’erre Bourne Roddy Ricch. With the news of his latest creation’s record-breaking success fresh on his mind, the Atlanta-based producer spoke to Rolling Stone about how “Way 2 Sexy” came together. Basically, anyone that matters in hip-hop likely has worked with TM88 at some point. He’s known for producing songs by Future, Travis Scott, Wiz Khalifa, and more. The already prolific TM88 has proven to be particularly skilled at crafting irresistible hits. It’s also the number one song in the country right now, according to the RS 100, second only to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” for the biggest chart debut this year. Aretha Franklin, it is a perfect piece of music. ![]() Produced by TM88 and TooDope, the song includes a sample of Right Said Fred’s early Nineties hit “I’m Too Sexy,” and features verses from Drake, Future, and Young Thug (who informs us that he is too sexy to count). They probably won’t figure out how to upload it, but what kind of grandkid would you be if you didn’t get up and join them? ![]() At some point very soon, your elderly relatives will be inspired to make their first TikTok to the track. ![]() You’ll surely hear it in sports stadiums, and probably at a few weddings. It’ll be blasted out of cars on the street, and out of gym loudspeakers worldwide. “Way 2 Sexy” will undoubtedly be rinsed by DJs at nightclubs. Try as you might, it is impossible to escape its embrace. The track asks for nothing from its listeners except vibes. The much-discussed “Way 2 Sexy,” which arrived with its own absurd and therefore perfect music video, is one of those tunes that you simply have to let happen to you. While the record is far from perfect, it does have a song that, in my mind, deserves to be very high on the list. It’s a shame that the voting for Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time had already concluded by the time Drake released his new album Certified Lover Boy. ![]()
