How A Rapper Made A Hit From SpongeBob

Ice Spice - Bikini Bottom
This one's for the fellas


This video started as a different video on how ice spice likes to use these jumpy, high pitched sting plucks. It’s a fine video but “string plucks” is a terrible hook and probably hangs up on all the same issues as the SZA video. I put this Ice Spice the video in the back of my head, and it sat there until I realized I might also be able to talk about spongebob.

Going into this video, I knew I’d have to include the Clip of Ice Spice on Genius. She describes Bikini Bottom as a “Spongebob-Type Beat”. It would sound better if she said it. Since I was going to show youtube videos, might as well use the youtube music videos for all of these songs - and get rid of the spotify.

I knew I’d have to talk about Spongebob, and that would be different from music discussion. I rounded up some songs that had steel guitar and found a good interview with Stephen Hillenburg. I have less experience editing a TV Show discussion, so it feels like a relief when I can bring back Ice Spice

The music discussion is a lot of the same stuff as older videos. The spongebob connection makes things more interesting and Pop Smoke’s “Welcome to the Party” is an influential song.

I like this video, it’s a shame such good titles are hard to find.
