"I've been a little bit concerned about what was going on with ice Spice's career in the last year. She released the Y2K album in 2024. Since then, it's been a string of singles that have been a bit up and down. But finally, we have something that's an undeniable up and that's. So Thootie the new single. It's with the Dominican star Tokischa, and this is a Dembow rhythm. Much like the sexy drill that Ice Spice got famous with. This is up tempo, rough around the edges, and undeniably sensual."
"Ice Spice does two things really well. One, on a basic level, she's a minimalist one word, one idea. Circling around it for two minutes. Done. Seen. Fan. On the other hand, she's a recurrent internet figure, constantly memed and yet somehow never falls victim to becoming a joke."
"Stop playing with them, Riot. Thootie, need a blunt and a cup and a thootie. Bad bitch, so he think I'm his thootie. In a spot with a thousand thooties. All I think about is money and thooties. Thootie. Fart. Deli. Munch. Ice Spice has a way with words. I'm not going to lie."
Ice Spice released 'Thootie', a collaboration with Dominican star Tokischa, built on a Dembow rhythm that echoes the sexy drill that brought mainstream attention. The track is uptempo, rough around the edges, and overtly sensual, providing an undeniable high point after a string of uneven singles following the 2024 Y2K album. The single showcases Ice Spice's minimalist approach: looping a single word or idea across a brief runtime. The song also reinforces her status as an internet figure who is often memed yet resists becoming a joke. The Dembow-driven energy suggests a potential musical reset and renewed momentum.
