Awkwafina is a rapper and comedian from Queens. She specializes in awkward interviews and the occasional vulgar rap song. “Yellow Alert” falls squarely in this category, as she enlists LA native Dumbfoundead for a song that pokes fun at Asian habits and stereotypes.
The beat features huge bass with some simple keys (and no East Asian instruments), focusing most of the attention on the rappers. Both rapper have some pretty good one liners, including “Yellow alert (skirrt) / who an introvert?”
You might recognize Dumbfoundead from the remix to the internet sensation “It G Ma.”
Quotable Lyrics
Trip you on your hoverboard and choke you during smoke tricks
smelling like papayas at your momma's playing dubstep
I could only take so much before this yellow boy flip
how you never lucky with a tattoo of a koi fish?
