About This Track
A trap track built on Mustard's production, 'Ratchets' pairs Tyga with Joe Moses over a beat designed for the club. The song trades in the aesthetic of West Coast street rap, with Tyga setting the tone in the opening verse before Moses takes the second half. Both rappers adopt a posture of material excess and sexual conquest, the chorus reducing its aims to a single refrain: the pursuit of women coded as "ratchets". The track moves through a series of boasts and comparisons, anchored to specific references and a rhythm built for repetition. There is little pretence to depth; the song knows what it is, and executes accordingly. It sits comfortably within the lineage of trap music designed for motion and noise rather than introspection, a functional piece of club machinery from a moment when that machinery was particularly efficient.
"Ratchets" is a track by Tyga, from the album Well Done 3, released 2012. Full lyrics are available below.
