"Or Nah" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Ty Dolla $ign. The song was released on January 7, 2014, as the second single from his debut EP, Beach House EP (2014). "Or Nah" was produced by DJ Mustard and Mike Free and features a guest appearance from American rapper Wiz Khalifa. The song has since peaked at number 48 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The official remix features The Weeknd.[1][2] On April 29, 2014, it officially impacted rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States.[3]

Critical reception

Upon its release, "Or Nah" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Complex described it as "slang expander that's sure to alter your day-to-day work conversations".[4] About the song XXL magazine wrote, "The Taylor Gang affiliate enlists Wiz Khalifa to come through on the DJ Mustard-produced “Oh Nah”—a collaborative cut void of romance and love, but rather focuses on getting straight to the point—or in this case, the sheets. While DJ Mustard subtlety guides the track with the sounds of creaking bedsprings, both Ty Dolla $ign and Wiz take the time to question their potential bedmates about food and weed, making sure the femme fatale can cater to their needs."[5]

Music video

A music video for the song, directed by Ryan Patrick, was shot in January 2014[6] and released on June 13, 2014.[7]

Critical reception

Rap-Up described the music video as "dark and mysterious", also noting that it features "a bevy of sexy ladies".[8] The Fader wrote that, "the darkly seductive clip remains placid and uneventful throughout, a late plot twist leaves us wondering if Ty's pussy-hunting will meet a crazed fate".[9] Stereogum compared the video to a Swedish thriller, "which features a horror-movie plot twist at the end".[10]
