The Brotherhood of Members Only: A Raw Anthem of Unity and Defiance
“MEMBERS ONLY! (feat. Tankhead, Ratchet Roach, Flyboy Tarantino, Cooliecut, Kid Trunks, Craig Xen, SB, Kin$oul & Bass Santana)” by XXXTENTACION is a powerful anthem that showcases the unity and defiance of the Members Only collective. The song is a raw and unfiltered expression of loyalty, camaraderie, and the struggles faced by the group. Each artist brings their unique style and perspective, contributing to a cohesive narrative that emphasizes the strength and resilience of the collective.
The recurring phrase “Members Only be the clique, suck a dick, little bitch” serves as a bold declaration of the group's identity and their refusal to conform to societal expectations. This defiant attitude is a central theme throughout the song, as the artists assert their dominance and independence. The lyrics are filled with references to their lifestyle, including their hustle, material success, and the challenges they face. The use of explicit language and aggressive imagery underscores their determination to succeed on their own terms.
Cultural references and metaphors are abundant in the song, adding depth to the narrative. For instance, Kid Trunks’ line “Smokin’ green like Yoshi” not only highlights their affinity for marijuana but also connects to the popular video game character, Yoshi, known for his green color. This blend of pop culture and street life creates a vivid picture of the world they inhabit. Additionally, the mention of “triple 6 on the back, of the Cadillac” by Craig Xen alludes to the dark and rebellious undertones that are often associated with the Members Only collective.
The song also touches on themes of loyalty and betrayal, as the artists navigate their relationships and the pressures of their environment. The line “You think she wifey but she bench pressin’ them dicks” by SB is a stark reminder of the complexities and often harsh realities of their personal lives. Despite these challenges, the overarching message is one of unity and strength, as they stand together against the odds. The raw energy and unapologetic nature of the song make it a powerful testament to the spirit of Members Only.
