Ty Dolla $ign: "Blasé" [ft. Future and Rae Sremmurd] - Pitchfork
Produced by DJ Spinz, the beat is described as "spare and intoxicating" with a bassline built to "devastate your woofers". It effectively channels the relentless power found in Future’s most popular mixtapes.
Reviewers from The Fader highlighted how the song reinvented the word "blasé" for a new generation, turning an 1800s term for indifference into a high-energy club chant. Ty Dolla $ign was specifically commended for his versatile vocal delivery, which some compared to a modern-day Nate Dogg.
"Blasé" is widely considered a defining summer anthem of 2015, praised for its "restrained turn-up" energy and a star-studded lineup that perfectly captured the hip-hop aesthetic of the time. Critics from Pitchfork noted that the track finds a rare groove by allowing Ty Dolla $ign and Future to trade slurred hooks while Rae Sremmurd brings their signature club-ready energy.
Future’s woozy hook and Swae Lee’s energetic ad-libs (notably the "ba-ba-ba-BOOM!" intro) were cited as major factors in the song's "infectious" nature.
The official video stands out for its intentionally blurry, VHS-quality aesthetic, which was inspired by 1980s hardcore punk shows like Bad Brains at CBGB. Overall Sentiment
