WHACK'S MUSEUM by Tierra Whack

Tierra Helena Whack aka Tierra Whack is a rapper/singer/actress from Philly. Prior to releasing WHACK’S MUSEUM, she put out a critically acclaimed debut mixtape, Whack World, in 2018 and a follow-up in 2024, World Wide Whack.

Musically, Whack cites Outkast, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, and Kelis as influences. Those influence shine through on this album, combined with Whack’s eccentric personality and artistry, making this a standout album for me… specifically her word play and flow, which are some of the best around.

Like the first verse on “WAX PAPER”:

Time to face the harsh truth, you all spoof Acting bad but this is not Zeus Sharper than a shark tooth, Whack God, I’m Doc Seuss They say that I’m uptight that just means I’m not loose I got proof, bodies in the basement He ain’t my type, he basic, it be difficult to fake it Whenever I get tested, nine out of ten, I’m gonna ace it Run for president in Asics, never complacent, I was chasing Since my brother was in placement, the disrespect was blatant Mama said, “Once you make it, don’t end up like Yazz the Greatest” Lights are on, the house is vacant, I’ma jerk 'em like Jamaicans I’m the hottest in the world and I won’t do no persuading, no Wonder why I don’t rap much ‘Cause when I rap, somebody’s bound to get wrapped up They yellin’, “Oh, shit”, like my stomach is backed up I’m so sick, I really think you should mask up

Or on “EARWAX”:

You fightin’ it Typin’ it, deletin’ then writin’ it Supreme hyphenate Caked up so I’m icin’ it Gunnin’ to the top, you know I licensed it Why ask the price of it? He ain’t hot, you spicin’ it I’m so ahead, it’s lice in it When you in the field, you see mice in it Phonе ring, He wifin’ it With the pin, I’m strikin’ it Bitin’ it like thе glove Mike Tyson bit Mirepoix, dicin’ it So many carrots, my heart skipped You get roasted like parsnips We stand out like hard nips Much motion, my carsick Pull strings, guitar pick I feel lethargic Doc said, “You are sick” I’m like, “Aw, shit” Throw my hood up for me

Whack is one of the most unique and talented hip hop artists going today and I’m glad she’s releasing full projects again.
