"Too Hotty" is a song released by American record label

Control the Streets, Vol. 1
(2017). This was the label's debut single.

Background

The song was initially released as "To Hotty", and was credited to American hip hop trio Migos, composed of the three recording artists.[3][4] It was later unpublished from SoundCloud.[5] On August 25, 2017, it was re-released as "Too Hotty" and rebranded as a Quality Control track. The song's title was inspired by WWE wrestler Scotty 2 Hotty.[6][7]

Critical reception

Rap-Up described the song as "head-knocking" and "high-energy", they felt it "featured a haunting vocal sample".[4][8] Peter Berry of XXL wrote that the song featured "icy cold production" from Southside, and "Offset delivered yet another killer verse with a machine gun flow that rides the beat perfectly".[5] Max Weinstein of the same publication regarded it as a "dreamy song".[9] Phil Witmer of Vice opined that the song is "blessed with an unearthly beat and the endless applicability of the titular figure's name to rap lyrics".[10] Navjosh of HipHop-N-More called it a "typical sounding track".[11]

Music video

The music video was released on August 25, 2017, and was directed by Daps and Migos.[8] In the beginning, Offset can be seen surrounded by candles in a house, intercut with scenes of a luxury sports car.[12] The scene later shifts to the woods as he continues rapping. Quavo later appears in a warehouse as a mechanic.[13] Lastly, Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff can be seen in a parking lot with flames sparking around, as Takeoff finishes the song.[5]
