Content
In the song, Doechii performs in a rapid-fire flow.[1] The lyrics center around Doechii asserting her dominance in sexual matters, with emphasis on her bisexuality: "Cunnilingus Dalai Lama / Doechii cooler than a fan, but she get hotter than a sauna / Take a trip out of Japan and I tsunami her vagina / Wine and dine her, Benihana, I'm the new hip-hop Madonna / I'm the new hip-hop Madonna, I'm the trap Grace Jones / I don't know what type of motherfuckin' crack they on / I'm like Carrie Bradshaw with a back brace on / I been carrying you bitches now for way too long".[1][2][3]
Critical reception
Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote, "Her microphone control and wordplay are in top form on 'Nissan Altima,' a swift and booming track where the self-dubbed 'trap Grace Jones' alternately motivates and intimidates with belligerent verses that include a shrugging note of her replacement of a man with a woman."[4] Lily Goldberg of Pitchfork commented, "Heat takes over on 'Nissan Altima,' a standout filled with flavor and filth".[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by James Mackel and released alongside the single. It sees Doechii cruising in a Nissan Altima with rappers and fellow TDE labelmates Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Isaiah Rashad.[1][2] The car is then towed, but they stay beside it on the bed of the tow truck as Doechii raps.[1]
