Every Friday, EW's music team runs down the five best songs of the week. In today's edition, CupcakKe does Simpsons cosplay, Vic Mensa and BJ the Chicago Kid make summer last just a bit longer, Deerhoof pay homage to "La Bamba," Giveōn has one last fling, and UNIIQU3 goes full Fatal Attraction.

"Marge Simpson" — CupcakKe

While rap's reigning queen of smut is always on the prowl for a big one, this time it's the big bucks she's after. "Money stack up tall, look like the hair on Marge Simpson," the Chicago firebrand spits, making it loud and clear she'll only give it up if Homer shows her the real bling: "I want everything locked in a glass/Then we f---in' fast/Take him to the back of the store/Then he bustin' a hole in my mask." The wink to a Jay-Z classic is perfectly played, the dash of Spanish guitar surprising and sexy, the lyrics some of her funniest and finest ("I done sat up on his sack five times/After he done bought me the whole damn Saks Fifth"). Then there's the video: a hysterical, raunchy mash-up of cartoon and cosplay — one of 2021's best. This is the sort of nasty escapist hip-hop fantasy that towers well above the competition. —Jason Lamphier
