Huh

Hmm yeah
Hmm yeah

To say it's complicated, understatement of the year
Well maybe conflict made it a new flavor in your ear
They know that I'm a problem, that's why everybody scared
Whatever doesn't kill you, can make you an ill-ionaire, yeah
Uh, just turn the headphones up or make the windows roll up
I make they hands go up
When I show up and I blow it 'til I'm full up, wait, hold up
Girl up in the mirror, uh
Only one I fear, uh
You say you the realest
I told you I'm the illest

I'm moonwalking on marble floors (introduce yourself)
Rick Ross, I'm just drippin' sauce
Bitches see me and they all just wave (boss)
Rolls Royce and we call this Wraith (woo)
I fuck up money like I'm Escobar
Ballin', ballin', Kobe Bryant, that boy living large
No room for medium, that means you thinkin' small
Ferrari, Fergie, switching gears, she rockin' with a boss (boss)
I close my eyes, I must be telepathic
Look over haters, tripling my assets (boos)
It takes courage to accomplish these things
Fergie's my queen, I'm the king, now come kiss on our rings

Sick (woah)

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Fergie's song "Hungry" highlights the ambiguity and layered nature of human interaction. It suggests that calling any relationship complicated is an understatement, and that conflict can be a kind of seasoning that adds new flavor to the mix. The artist acknowledges that she's not without fault, and has gained something of a notorious reputation as a result. However, she argues that surviving adversity can only make you stronger and more successful. In this way, the song seems to celebrate the challenges and setbacks that Fergie has faced as a musician and a celebrity, and the ways in which she has overcome them to reach new heights.


The second half of "Hungry" features verses from rapper Rick Ross, who boasts about his wealth and power. Fergie echoes his braggadocio, comparing herself to drug kingpin El Chapo and aligning herself with luxury brands like Ferrari. However, there is an underlying message of perseverance and determination in this section as well. Fergie emphasizes that she is still "hungry" despite her success, suggesting that she is constantly striving for more and refuses to rest on her laurels.


Overall, "Hungry" is a song about ambition, struggle, and resilience. It acknowledges the difficulties of navigating human relationships and the inherent challenges of pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, but ultimately celebrates the rewards that come with dedication and perseverance.

Lista do melhor para o pior clipe do Double Dutchess, na minha opinião:
1. M.I.L.F. $ - tem uma edição excelente, fotografia impecável, cenário personalizado e elenco incrível;
2. Save It Til Morning - história bem contada, o visual da Fergie está diferente de tudo o que ela já fez e a música ornou bastante com o vídeo;
3. Hungry ft. Rick Ross - um vídeo de hiphop raiz, o visual preto e branco casou muito bem com o tema e a participação do Rick Ross deixou o vídeo mais marcante;
4. Love Is Blind - essa foi a maior surpresa boa deste álbum, roteiro surpreendente e o humor está no ponto certo;
5. Love Is Pain - soube passar a dor que a música fala e é o clipe mais artístico da carreira da Fergie;
6. Like It Ain't Nuttin' - é um clipe com várias cenas aleatórias que funcionou bem, consegue passar o ambiente underground com maestria, o clipe tem uma vibe e estilo diferente de tudo que a Fergie já fez;
7. A Little Work - essa foi a surpresa mais desagradável deste álbum, provavelmente o clipe com o orçamento mais caro deixou a desejar na edição, se tornando um vídeo cansativo e realmente mal editado, não soube contar a história de forma que prendesse o público;
8. Just Like You - uma pegada simples, fotografia boa, mas história fraca. Este é o caso onde o menos é menos mesmo rsrs;
9. You Already Know ft. Nicki Minaj - apesar de ser a continuação do clipe de Hungry, várias cenas deixaram a desejar, cenário muito simples e a edição está perdida;
10. Life Goes On - pecou na fotografia em muitas partes, roteiro fraco e história mal contada;
11. L.A.LOVE (la la) ft. YG - clipe mal editado, sincronismo do som com o vídeo mal feito, em muitas partes a Fergie está mexendo os lábios diferente do que está tocando na música;
12. Enchanté (Carine) ft. Axl Jack - acredito que a proposta era para ser cult e genial, mas o resultado final acabou sendo uma obra preguiçosa, repetitiva e de baixo orçamento, apesar da participação da Kendall Jenner;
13. Tension - uma das melhores músicas com um clipe totalmente amador e mal feito, apesar das cenas de skate serem legais, o roteiro é fraco e a participação do digital influencer deixa na gente a vontade de pular o clipe. A primeira versão do clipe, que foi banido do YouTube, mostrava mais a verdadeira vibe da música.

Obs.: Nesta lista não estou falando da música, mas da parte visual em questão e o conjunto da obra.

Esse é um álbum que me surpreendeu bastante, a gente acaba criando uma expectativa, e Double Dutchess quebrou todas minhas expectativas, quanto qualidade musical e videografia, Fergie expressa muito bem seu trabalho e seus sentimentos através dele. Merece todo sucesso do mundo, aliás, querendo ou não é uma cantora de peso, só o conhecimento que ela absorveu junto aos Black Eyes Peas já diz tudo, reflete muito nesse álbum seu talento e sua maturidade musical.
