Fullest is the fourth single by independent American rapper Cupcakke from her third studio album Ephorize.

Background

The song was first released on January 5, 2018 on her album.[3] The rapper announced via Instagram that if her post received 5,000 comments, she would release the video for "Fullest".[4]

Composition

Madeline Laguaite from The Red & Black described the song as "a fun, fast-paced song that takes certain elements common to Latin music and incorporates them into the track. CupcakKe is full of confidence and self-assurance throughout the song, with lines like 'You can't ever make me look foolish' and 'my bank account look the fullest.' The track winds down with the post-chorus and a claim that 'them bitches still ain't the fullest.'"[5] Jazz Scott from Tiny Mix Tapes claimed it to be bossa nova.[1]

Music video

Harris released the music video for "Fullest" via her YouTube channel on February 20, 2018.[6] Salvatore Maicki from The Fader described it as "vibrant and gloriously gaudy in all the ways a CupcakKe video should be" and went on to say "the 'Fullest' visual shows what really goes down when CupcakKe throws a house party— and what happens to sloppy uninvited guests."[7] Dennis Hinzmann from Out wrote that "the rapper shows us what a house party for the Instagram generation looks like. Millennial pink palette: check. Inflatable pool animal: check. Neon backlighting to ensure everyone finds their best angle: check" and goes on to say "the party bumps around the rapper. That is, until some messy, uninvited guests show up. A coordinated withering glare followed by beachballs and squirt guns eject the would-be crashers, so the party can go on."[8] Salute Magazine wrote that the "video sees CupcakKe living her life up to its fullest potential and being full of fun."[9] Konbini, a French publication, wrote about the video which roughly translates to say that the visual "shows the rapper taking part in a party with [her] family. A moment of joy that is pleasing to see."[10] The Spanish website, Ismorbo stated that "[she lets herself] look mischievous and smiling at a party set in Caribbean sounds. Everything that follows is a sign of the disdain and rudeness that can be seen at a party of twenty-somethings Americans," when translated from English.[11]

Critical reception

Salute Magazine stated that "the lyrics are what some might see as abrasively racy and others may see as wildly refreshing... However, it's that openness that has fans flocking to her. Fans find themselves impressed with her confidence and the quick wit of her lyrics."[9] Konbini commented that "this bossa-nova-accented title closes the album with a hymn to emancipation" in French.[10]
