Wendy's "We Beefin?" EP Review

I don’t review EPs as often anymore since they’re so short, but this is a very special exception because it’s a magical time: it’s time for a review of the new Wendy’s EP “We Beefin?”

Wendy’s needs no introduction, they’re a wildly-popular fast-food chain often known not only for their delicious food and their fresh, never-frozen beef but for their delicious social media posts and their fresh, never-frozen Twitter beef. Wendy’s is not only one of the bests in the fast-food game, but they’re one of the best things Twitter has to offer. And I really mean that, I really do love Wendy’s food, but I also love their tweets. The fact that they’ve decided to release an EP is just a glorious moment in music, so let’s see what this thing has to offer, shall we?

Twitter Fingers: An overly-autotuned banger, Wendy’s comes through with hot fire on this trap-flavored track, and while some of the lyrics are hard to decipher, it doesn’t matter because Wendy’s is still ending careers with this track and they’ll come at anyone that tries to tell them otherwise.

Holding It Down: Another upbeat, trap-flavored cut, this track doesn’t really differentiate itself much from the last one, but that doesn’t matter because Wendy’s continues to end the lives of McDonald’s and Burger King on this song. Don’t even try to come back, Mickey D, because it’s not gonna work! And don’t you try, BK, because Wendy’s is over here spitting fire, don’t even try with that!

Rest in Grease: Wendy’s dabbles in some neat, kind of different instrumental sounds on this one, and the rapid-fire flow is really working on this one! And the lyrics are amazing, as you’d expect. Always cool seeing them talking about the ice cream machine always being broken. Dope shit.

Clownin: I shouldn’t need to say it again, but I will because it’s true, this track is hot fire. Wendy’s reminds us here to be careful who to diss, and that’s the most truthful statement, because Wendy’s really isn’t afraid to come at anyone, and that’s what makes them so great. Keeping it real, and keeping it fresh (NEVER FROZEN).

4 for 4$: The final track on this legendary EP is Wendy’s discussing their 4 for $4, which comes with a sandwich (there’s a lot of choices in that one), chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink, all for $4. Done best at Wendy’s, no one can ever do better. And you know what? Even if Wendy’s put the $ after the 4 in the title of this track, it doesn’t matter, because they still spit some insane bars on this one.

Overall, this is some of the hottest fire you’ll ever hear in your damn life. Wendy’s is over here putting these other rappers to shame, and it’s clear their beef is still fresh, and NEVER, EVER EVER EVER frozen! Wendy’s will out-rap Kendrick Lamar, J-Cole, Nas, B.I.G., 2Pac, Eminem, Jay-Z, Rakim, Kanye, and pretty much any other damn rapper that’s ever existed, and no one can tell me otherwise!

But in all seriousness, this was a pretty funny idea. I know it might seem strange to count something like this as my 79th review, but I’m gonna do it. Clearly, as an EP, this is meant to just capitalize on Wendy’s amazing Twitter beef, and as a result, it works. It’s a funny concept, and even if it’s not really the stuff of legends, it will play well into their social media legacy.

Milestone #80 is coming up and it’s…Judas Priest?
