"Go Stupid" is a song by American rappers Polo G, Stunna 4 Vegas, and NLE Choppa featuring American record producer Mike Will Made It, who produced the song alongside American record producer Tay Keith. It was released on February 14, 2020, as the lead single from Polo G's second studio album The Goat. The song went viral on social media including video sharing app TikTok.[1]
The track debuted and peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the second Hot 100 entry for Polo G and Stunna 4 Vegas, and the fourth for NLE Choppa.
The track was first announced in an Instagram post by Polo G on February 7, 2020.[2] A snippet of the track was later posted on Polo's Instagram account on February 12, two days before the release of the track.[3]
The song has no chorus, instead finding all three rappers "ripping up" a Mike Will Made-It and Tay Keith beat, going verse to verse in order of the rappers credited.[4] Polo G raps about his beginnings and uses NBA references ("Before all of this rap shit, I was gangbangin' and doin' high speeds on the cops and shit / And I'm straight from the Chi, but I ball like a king up in Cali and shoot like Stojaković").[5][6]
Polo G has received particular praise for his verse.[4][5] Alex Zidel of HotNewHipHop said that Polo G "continued to prove that he can rap his ass off", and that he had "fast-paced bars".[6] Jessica McKinney of Complex called the song a "rowdy club record".[1]
The song has become popular on video-sharing app TikTok where people use it to create viral tutorials in a virtual classroom. These videos draw inspiration from the song's official music video, which is set in a high school.[1]
The music video for the track was released on February 14, 2020. It was directed by Michael Garcia, with the video concept by Jamicheal Thomas. It features all three rappers partying and dancing at a high school.[7]
