21C / Delta
Ever since I began my journey at Delta last year, I started noticing how much it is loved by an assortment of rappers. I initially was pleasantly surprised when Portland’s own Aminé gave the thriving airline a huge shout out in his Limbo standout cut entitled, “Shimmy,” where he unapologetically stated: “just ‘cause you bought that vintage Margiela/ don’t change your flight from Spirit to Delta.” The latest potent lyricist that has decided to totally sh*t on Spirit Airlines, and big up the Ed Bastian-led company is Jack Harlow.
Found in the Louisville-hailing spitter’s stellar debut album That’s What They All Say, “21C / Delta” deals with Harlow’s romantic encounters. In Delta, specifically, Jack witfully compares his b- *coughs* fine specimen of a woman *coughs* to, yes you guessed it, Delta Airlines. “She ain’t flying in Spirit, she’s a Delta b*tch not the kind with the pyramids,” he playfully raps. I don’t know what it is, but Spirit has to step its flying game up (saw what I did there?).
Speaking of traveling, shout out to all my peeps who’ve stopped me at Terminal 4 in JFK. It’s always a pleasure talking to y’all even if it’s just for a minute. Shoot, let’s get some pics going so I can start the airline version of my Bape couch pics series. Let’s call it: #FlyingWithFrendy (haha).
In any case, listen to Jack Harlow’s “21C / Delta” track below. Make sure you check out the remainder of his album as well—you won’t be disappointed.
