TOP 5 SONGS
5. My Heart
“My Heart” is a track that slows things down considerably on the album. This one is hella introspective and emotional in an almost chilling way.
Sonically, it’s very dreamy and ethereal, and then the beat comes in and grounds you a bit. Offset sounds tired on this track, sick of people coming in and messing with his emotions. He tells a story of vulnerability and uncertainty, allowing us to hear a more sensitive side of him. There’s a heaviness to the track that makes it feel different from some of the album’s more energetic moments.
It’s not necessarily about putting on a show or proving something to anybody. Instead, it feels like we’re catching Offset in a moment where he’s letting his guard down, and honestly, the track sits a bit heavy on the soul.
4. Something I Need
“Something I Need” sets a tone from the jump. You can already tell it’s going to be moody, and Offset is in his bag right here. Sonically, the track isn’t super high-energy or quick-tempo, but instead takes a more laid-back approach, with distorted backing vocals and a late-night kind of vibe. It feels like something you’d put on when the night is winding down and you’re in your own head a little.
Lyrically, the track is about having racks, fame, and clout, but still needing a little something extra from a woman. Offset explores that desire for something beyond the material things he’s already accumulated. It’s a smooth, understated moment that gives the album another layer of personality.
3. GMFU
“GMFU” is the title track, and from the intro, you can tell it’s going to be real. Offset reaches a flow state here, and he’s pissed off. He’s sick of the games, rumors, accusations, and people tripping and acting like they know him or like he owes them something. He goes in about life and what things are really like for him, expressing his frustrations with the way people have been acting toward him.
There’s a noticeably more confrontational energy here, and Offset sounds completely locked in. Rather than giving us another flex-heavy track, he uses this moment to let some of his frustrations out. It’s an honest look at the pressures that come with his position and the feeling of constantly having people watching, judging, and making assumptions.
2. One Way Flight
“One Way Flight” features Tommy Richman, and sonically, the song blends his and Offset’s sounds seamlessly. This track gives us a very chill, cool vibe, with simple electronic key sounds, a muted, moody bassline, and an uptempo hip-hop beat. There’s a nice balance between the laid-back atmosphere and the rhythm keeping things moving.
Lyrically, the track is about situationships, as messy as they can be, and flying someone out somewhere. It’s got that casual, no-strings-attached energy, even when the circumstances are a little more complicated than that. Tommy Richman’s contribution fits naturally into the track, making this collaboration feel like a genuinely good pairing rather than two artists simply sharing a song.
1. Every Night
My partner has been playing this song on repeat since it dropped, and the fact that I’m not annoyed by it means it’s absolutely a good one. “Every Night” is sonically sensual bedroom slow jamz meets modern hip-hop, and the collision is equal parts chaotic and brilliant. Don Toliver features and puts his signature stank on the track, adding his own flavor to an already infectious record.
The track is straight desire and attraction, full-stop bedroom fantasy. It’s repetitive and simple, but it has all the right vibes. There’s something about the combination of the production and the artists’ delivery that makes this one easy to keep coming back to. Apparently, my household has decided this is the soundtrack for the foreseeable future, and honestly, I can’t complain.

RGM RATING
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 4 out of 5.Offset’s GMFU feels less like an album and more like a series of vlogs. And by that, I mean we get insight into so much through every track. Rather than sticking to one particular subject or mood, Offset gives us a look into different corners of his life, allowing each song to feel like another little glimpse behind the curtain.
Offset paints a picture of the life of a rapper and where his head is really at. We get tracks about lust and desire, talks of travel, friends and enemies, and relationships gone wrong. We get some flexing, some insightful and emotional moments, and other moments that are just plain fun and lighthearted. It’s like he’s giving us a peek inside his daily grind, from the glamorous parts to the messier realities that come with it.
Sonically, this album is full-stop hip-hop with R&B influences. It features artists like Larissa Lambert, Tommy Richman, Gunna, and Don Toliver, with each collaboration bringing something different to the table. Every track gives us a different energy, and not a single one seems out of place. We move between hard-hitting moments, laid-back late-night vibes, and more emotional cuts without the project feeling disjointed.
Overall, GMFU feels like a late-night smoke sesh or a group chat where we’re all sending voice messages. We’re being social and keeping the mood light, but every now and then, somebody gets a little vulnerable, and suddenly we’re having a much deeper conversation than expected. Some of these tracks are absolute bangers that I couldn’t play every day, but there wasn’t a single track that had me thinking, “Definitely not.” Offset knows what he’s doing, and I’m here for it.
