Megan Thee Stallion Honors Her H-Town Roots in ‘Bigger in Texas’ Video Featuring Scarface, Paul Wall & Slim Thug
Megan Thee Stallion has always been proud of her Houston roots. The “Hiss” MC pays tribute to her hometown in the flashy video for her slow-grinding anthem “Bigger In Texas,” which dropped on Friday (Oct. 25) along with her new album, Megan Act II. The visual — co-directed by Megan and Julian Klincewicz — is H-Town from the bottom to the top, beginning with the flossy opening graphics, which depict the title in the classic blinged-out 1990s Pen & Pixel font.
“E’rrythang bigger in Texas, ain’t no injections, we at the pole, no elections/ B–ch, don’t come around me tryna pass out drugs, ho, I ain’t poppin’ no Teslas/ I don’t wanna take no pictures, I don’t get along with these out here b–ches/ I don’t even know this hoe, but the b–ch keep beggin’ me for attention,” Meg raps on the second verse of the thick-as-molasses tune co-produced by Bankroll Got It, Shawn Jarrett, Truckee Street and Han Yang Kingsley Wang.
After flashing her custom grill, Meg gets down to to work, grinding on the back of a candy orange car with extended chrome “swangas” rims in a pair of denim booty shorts and matching bikini top and knee-high boots before she changes locations, and outfits, for a visit to beloved hometown jeweler to the stars Johnny Dang.
Clapping it up on the Dang showroom floor in a green shorts and bikini top outfit with matching cowboy hat, Megan checks out a diamond-encrusted butterfly necklace to go with the flapping wings tattooed on the back of her thighs. Along with a custom Houston Astros cap, Megan further pays tribute to her birthplace by hosting an impromptu parking lot jam with a gang of Houston legends, including the Geto Boys’ Scarface, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and Sauce Walka.
Megan: Act II features 12 new tracks, including TWICE on the remix of Meg’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 36 hit “Mamushi” — originally featuring Yuki Chiba — as well as Flo Milli on “Roc Steady” and Spiritbox on “TYG” and “Neva Play,” featuring BTS‘ RM as a bonus track.
Next week, Megan will take center stage again with the release of the Prime Video doc Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words on Halloween.
