xQc explains why he believes Ice Spice's Deli is a "bad" song

Felix was 42 minutes into his broadcast when he watched Ice Spice's recently released music video. Following its conclusion, the French-Canadian personality opined:

"Okay, this song is just not... I'm going to keep it a buck, chat, the song is two minutes long, and I think the chorus or whatever, or like, the hook happens, like four times. Or five times. How is that even possible?"

The 27-year-old streamer did not want to sound too "negative," claiming that he enjoys some of Ice Spice's music. However, he stated that Deli had "no drive":

"Yeah, chat. I guess, I'll not be too negative. Okay, chat? I like some of her music. Maybe one song. This song feels like it has no drive. It has no energy. It doesn't go anywhere. There's no... it's not catchy. It doesn't make you move or anything. It's just... it just does nothing."

xQc also explained why he believed the song was "bad," stating that Ice Spice was "forcing" some of the aspects of her music that made her successful:

"Normally, when she puts... the two things that make her successful on a catchy beat, it's like, it'll do decent. Now, it's like, she tries to force both and it's just bad."
