Background and composition
On December 15, 2024, Playboi Carti was confirmed as part of the American festival Rolling Loud,[3][2] where he performed "Cocaine Nose".[1][4][5][6] The song samples Ashanti's 2004 single "Only U",[7] more specifically the guitar riff,[8][9][10][11][12] which was taken from the song "Presence" by Aurelius.
Reception
"Cocaine Nose" received mixed reviews from music critics. Davy Reed of The Face said it fell into the "brilliant" half of Music's songs, writing that he had been looking forward to its release since its debut at Rolling Loud so he could "hear that moshpit opening guitar riff in all its glory."[10]
Other reviewers were more negative. For Pitchfork, Kieran Press-Reynolds stated that "Cocaine Nose" "has all the juddering grotesquerie of Carti's Whole Lotta Red hits without the relentless assault of 'On That Time' or 'JumpOutTheHouse.'"[13] Jay'Mi Vazquez of Southern News felt that songs like it "leave listeners wondering if the album was shaped more by industry pressures than artistic intent."[14] Billboard ranked the song at fifteenth place in a list of the songs on Music.[1]
