Overview

[edit]

Bad Ass F*cking Kid is 15 tracks long, and is devoid of any features.[4] Writing for The Fader, Vivian Medithi said that Bad Ass F*cking Kid was "aimed at [Nettspend's] core fans" and described it as "Live. Love. ASAP for Zoomers".[2] Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop compared Nettspend's style to that of rapper Ian, and wrote that the production had "some intriguing elements."[4] Critics highlighted Nettspend's malapropisms, and noted that the mixtape suffered from Peter Pan syndrome.[2][5]

Songs

[edit]

On the intro, "Growing Up", Nettspend touches on themes of aging, saying he wishes he could "just not grow up".[2] In a Pitchfork review, Meghan Garvey compared the percussion and synthesizers on the track to "Purpose-era Bieber." Garvey wrote that the second track, "Leader", was "a disjointed string of corny boasts and buzzwords", and described the track's beat as "an old Salem song bit-crushed to oblivion".[5]

On the track "Tyla", Nettspend's Auto-Tuned performance drew comparisons to rapper Chief Keef. Garvey praised the track "ASAP",[5] while Vivian Medithi of The Fader described it as "a bad Xerox of his October single F*ck Swag".[2] The track "Skipping Class" contains a sample of Grimes' song "Genesis" (2012).[6][7] Critics praised the track "Beach Leak",[2][5] which features a Jersey club beat produced by Evilgiane.[2]
