No Clarity by Ice Spice Song Info
'No Clarity' is the sleeper hit from drill's hottest new act Ice Spice. On 'No Clarity', Ice Spice cooly unpacks heartache over a sample of Zedd’s pop-EDM classic 'Clarity.' In the summer of 2022, 'No Clarity' unexpectedly gained a large amount of attention on Twitter. Right after this explosion, Ice Spice released her hit single 'Munch'. 'Munch' and 'No Clarity's growing popularity made her a hot topic. If someone was found to bear a resemblance to the rapper, a picture of them would be reshared with the caption 'You thought I was feeling you?' . ''Bitch, I am the one (Grrah) / So how can I lose? /Like/ Swing on that bitch/ Like a hammock / I'm doin' me, she cannot stand it''. As if to prove that her detractors are indeed just uncomfortable with a woman rapping, some inventive TikTok user applied a vocal filter over the verse to make it sound like Jay-Z. The results are certainly compelling. “You know what’s so crazy? [‘No Clarity’]’s going up in views now,” Ice Spice says. “It’s going viral on TikTok. So I’m glad. There’s a little trend going around.” The song is now regarded as what propelled Ice Spice into global superstardom. The song's instrumental was noted for its ingenious mash up of a pop power ballad, EDM and the UK genre drill and its usage of 'Clarity' from Ice Spice's primary producer Riot. Two verses in particular eventually went viral. "You did me dirt/ Cause what did I do? / Like I fucked on your bro / Like I cannot choose / No lovin' a smooch." This verse was noted due to its extensive use of 'like', prompting others to notice the high usage of the word 'like' in Ice Spice's previously released singles. Initially misinterpreted as Ice Spice not understanding why her partner was upset at her cheating, what Ice is actually saying is that she's been wronged for no reason as if she did something wrong like cheating when she didn't. “And it’s not OK when you try to hurt me / When we fucking off perky,” Ice Spice raps. “We both from the Bronx/So I know that you dirty.” Netizens found this second verse humorous as she's essentially calling residents of the neighbourhood 'the Bronx' dirty.
