I realize that this series is very on and off but, I recently found Woops when I through We Smoked It All 4 on shuffle. The songs is great, just freaking great.
Woops is the sixth song off of the Spose, Cam Groves collaboration album, We Smoked It All 4. This album is the fourth studio album that the duo has worked together on and they just keep evolving.
We Smoked It All 4 dropped in 2019 and many of the songs off the album dropped as individual singles, one of which was Woops. Along with Woops, six other songs released on their own before the album including Four, Eleven Thirty, We Back, Casey Mac’s, It’s About Time, and Higher Elevation.
Spose begins the song with a thirty one line verse. He starts it off with “Woops, Spose’d to be gone by now, But my songs keep streaming people still in the crowd” He raps that he never thought he’d be in the position that he’s in because his music continues to blow up. Spizzy figured he’d be out of the rap game.
The next few lines are really eye opening to me and I believe are wildly important. “Only started rapping to be ill as hell, Then they told me that my music made em not kill themselves” Spose started rapping to just be dope but when he brought his real life experiences into his music, it touched many people. In songs like Suicide Doors, God Damn, and Living Alive, people who are going through a tough time can relate and a song like We All Got Lost can help to shake the bad feelings you’re having.
In my personal experience, whenever I’m in a shit mood, a sad mood, or happy mood, I’m throwing Spose on. He’s able to lift you out of a bad place with his songs and keep you going.
“Woops I'm living proof its not a fluke”. Spose raps that his hard work is not a fluke and that he is living proof that if you grind that you can become successful.
“Woops, I just hit a white supremacist, I put it in reverse as he got up I hit the pedal quick, I put it back in drive until he died and quit his fidgeting, Okay that didn't happen but I wish it did” Spose is a big advocate for the BLM movement and like many people, despises white supremacy so here he highlights what he would do if he ever encountered a member of the klan.
A few lines later, Maine Gretzky spits “Didn’t change, stayed the same, Its still the dudes from John Madden on Preposterously Dank” He notes that even with more fame and more streams to his music that he’s still the same weed smoking, IPA loving Mainer that he was when he dropped John Madden. His authenticity and how he’s stated to his roots is what makes fans gravitate to Peter Sparker.
Possibly my favorite line from this song is when Spose raps “We been doing this since Ludicris was saying "Roll out"" Roll out dropped in 2001 and on Sposes Wikipedia page, it says Spose began rapping around eight grade. It just shows how long he’s been working at his craft.
Sposes verse ends and his partner in crime, Cam Groves picks it up for a twenty six line verse. The two then conclude the song together with “Spose'd to be gone by now, but our songs still banging people still in the crowd we're like woops, And I knew it was official soon as, I saw fans tattooing my initials like woops, Wells, Maine still in the house still driving round listening to Reasonable Doubt like (woops), Won't stop till we on top made a few rappers bring their mic to a pawn shop”
There goal is to continue to inspire fan bases and take out any rapper that stands in their way. They want them to bring their mic to the pawn shop.
For the next Spose Saturday I write, I’ll be covering his feature on the song Jumper with Shane Reis, Cam Groves, and George Foisy. Stay tuned!
