I don't want it...
I have to preface all of this with "This is just my opinion, so feel free to disagree." Since that is out of the way, I heard this song for the first time over the weekend and I had to talk to one of my homies to see what he thought. He laughed and told me I should write a blog about it...so here it is. Now I'm not going to take the usual feminist, anti-mysoginist, FCC, "Save Hip-Hop, Save the World" (please note the sarcasm) angle (I can do that another time), instead I'm going to take the "Why this wouldn't make my sex song list" angle. Here are my biggest beefs with this track: 1) The title. This is a song by Trina and Killer Mike is asking that a chick look back at him. Now I get it, the title, the hook, the chorus, the male voice...all of that gets more attention then say Trina saying "Eat me, Eat me, Eat me then leave," but I still think she should have had a bigger role in that part of the song. 2) Why do I need to look back at you?? If you want to know the kind of job you're doing give me about 15 pumps, and if I don't stop and give a brief tutorial on how to make even rough sex pleasurable for a woman (with a female anatomy class as an added bonus), go into the living room to make a sandwich or watch television, or make an excuse about needing sleep when it's 7 p.m. on a Friday night, then you must be doing okay. And if it's an ego issue, then we can make a run to a store of your choosing and purchase a full length mirror. That way you not only see me, but you see yourself. 3) There is such thing as a sexy, up-tempo rap song ("Temptations" "F*** all night" "F'in You Tonight" to name a few,) and this isn't it. Don't get me wrong, I like Trina and Killer Mike, but this song is almost like (for ladies) wanting to have sex with a really sexy virgin. You see a guy and he really has everything working for him. His mind, his body, his face, the way he speaks...everything is beautiful. You date for a while and the night comes when you decide to have sex with him. You make out, it's awesome; he touches you, it's great; and then he gets inside of you and starts doing a mixture of "fish flopping" and "jack-rabbiting." It's the ultimate beautiful letdown. This song had everything working for it, the title alone suggests that it would be on a lot of people's "Top 10 Up-tempo Rap Sex Soundtrack," and once you combine that with the beat and the ridiculously erotic lyrics, it has multiple orgasm written all over it--but it just doesn't deliver. So I'll chalk this up to a song meant strictly for club dancing (better known as dry humping.) As always, let me know what you think and enjoy the video!!
