admittedly the tune is catchy, but is anybody else kinda repulsed by "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas?...(my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps)...I mean, free-form association: hump > back; lump > cancer...am I missing something?...is unpleasant-ness the point?

That black eyed peas song is just beyond comprehension generally.

"spitting", is the one that makes me feel kind of queasy. As in "the MC was spitting over..." I alway imagine a green glob of phleghm lying revoltingly on the pavement when I hear it used.

Redman excells in this area - 'Slice the mic device like the body of Christ'

and my favorite 'Break your whole anatomy down into an ass-kicking holiday' Dunno what that is but it doesnt sound nice, does it?

i adore this song.

lyrical nastyness is part of its genius.

<B>something i really wonder about</B>: all, and i really cannot think of exceptions, lyrics
in current RnB, HipHop, Crunk, basically urban, when sung by men, are about hookers,
prostitutes, strippers. are men not getting any w/o paying in these circles or what?

Personal pet peeve lyric wise/culture wise: "Baby Mama." As a way of describing a person's relations its brilliant and chilling in its subversiveness. Typically we refer to relations based on how they relate directly to us. My father, my son, my wife, my girlfriend, etc. Even as these relations fray you typically keep referring to the person based on how you used to relate to them, the wife becomes an ex-wife, the girlfriend becomes the ex-girlfriend. Baby-mama flips this all on it's head. The woman is not just an ex, she has no relation to the person at all except through a remove. All personal responsibility is abdicated. In a particularly cruel twist it doesn't blame the mama for having the baby, it blames the baby for creating the mama. When you really think about it, this is fuuucked up.

Don't know if I'd say it was the most unpleasant ever... but when Pharrell declares his intention to "tear your ass up" at the start of <i>Frontin'</i>, I always feel a bit uneasy.

What a classy geezer. I bet he has the ladies eating out the palm of his hand with that one ;)

baby mother is used in JA patios too - but i don't see the same negative associations.

if a womans had your baby i'd suggest that indicates the exact opposite of your interpretation.

finding a more intimate bond is difficult to imagine. the pain they've gone through for your child, the fact you will always be entwined for the rest of your lives because of this event - "at a remove" indeed.

Darned cockwombles.
Big L has a few:

"cause if you broke you'll get a wack slut/if you got dough you get a ho with a fat butt" Oh, the silver-tongued charmer....


"they wanna know why im so fly/a girl ask me for a ring and i put one around her whole eye"
Aaaahh...what a sweetie.

Bassnation,

I was attempting to deconstruct the etymology of the term rather than analyze relationships or really ascribe thoughts or attitudes to people who use the term. I know that people don't typically read this much into it, and I've used the term "baby mama" myself at various points before I ever put any thought into it, so if this rubbed you the wrong way, my apologies. No offense was intended. Most guys DO have an intimate bond with the mother of their children, I wasn't questioning that all, just wondering if the term really expresses that. Oviously, I suspect it doesn't, but we live in a postmodern world where meaning is a slippery and amorphous so there's obviously room for different interpretations...

Consider the differences though, in two formulations of a sentences though:

Rob is the son of my parents
Rob is my brother.

Both sentences ostensibly describe the same relationship, but doesn't the first place the subject "at a remove" from the speaker? Don't you get the feeling reading the first sentence that I don't want to have much to do with Rob?

Anyone else prepared to forgive Fergie for the humps/lumps debacle in honour of the sublime Glamorous? The half-inching of Sheila E's Glamorous Life, those caressing double-tracked Fergie-harmonies, the sensual wash of strings, those subtle synth bleeps, the breathless double-time claps, those daft lyrics rhyming every other line with "things" ("all them things don't mean a thing") and driving through Taco Bell "raw as hell", that ludicrous Ludacris rap pitched up and down, the lack of grammatical sense ("I won't change/by the glamorous" - eh? avoiding the word "life" for fear of royalties to Sheila E/Prince?).

A divine hipswaying swoon of a pop record - not sure if it makes up for the hackneyed I'm-still-Fergie-from-the-block theme, but I'll gladly allow it to wipe out all memory of the BEPs.

Haha, erm, I can only assume it's meant to be taken figuratively. :)

As far as entire songs go, Mr. Bungle's 'Squeeze Me Macaroni' is pretty wrong:

I wanna lock Betty Crocker in the kitchen
And knock her upper during supper
Clutter up her butter gutter
Hostess Ding Dong wrapped an eggroll around my wong
While Dolly Madison proceded to ping my pong
Your Milky Way is M'n'M in your britches
And I'll tell you Baby Ruth it looks mighty delicious
Keep blowing my gum, cuz here I come
I'm gonna get you all sticky with my Bubble Yum

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a bone, baby

I was givin' some head to some french bread
It was a four course orgy on the spread of my bed
French kissin' french fries in my Fruit of the Looms
I get deeper penetration with a fork and a spoon

I got yogurt meat loaf smeared all over my ass
I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas
Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans
Gonna bust the seams with my refried beans

Ronald McDonald just loves to be fondled
With Big Mac he'll fuck it like a Chicken McNugget
Colonel Sanders wants to goose Granny's loose caboose
He's gonna give her a boost with that Kentucky fried juice
Sooper doop poop scoop, loop de loop, chicken coop
Shoot some hoop, top sirloin from the groin
Topped with dick cheese, sneeze, wheeze,
From the skeez disease, wooi!

Take a dump, baby, squirt some gravy
Pour some sugar on me, honey, make it brown & runny
Give a little Flavor Flav, back from the grave
Gonna burn some toast, pump some humpin' rump roast

Knick knack paddywhack, jump in the sack, in fact
Jerk the smack and crack Jack from the back
Bananarama or ramabanana
Fuckin' Barry Manilow on the Copa Cabana

Squeeze me macaroni, slop your face with my bolony

You gotta syphon the spinach, you gotta cream the corn
Sperm scrambles the eggs and a meal is born
Cookin' like a beginner, but I'm goin' up in her
I had Fritos for lunch I'm havin' bush for dinner
Chef Boyardee and the Three Muskateers
Shove Charleston Chews in their rears like queers
"Holy moly, guacamole!" said my Chips Ahoy
I'm gonna pinch a ravioli on the Pillsbury dough boy

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a boner, baby

We came to pottie...we came to pottie down your throat

though 'gash' has yet to be beaten in terms of unpleasant terms
Click to expand...

"don't get gash by the hour / rudeboy i get gash by the metre"

a mental image i don't even want to begin to contemplate. for me spoils an otherwise impeccable freestyle about local newspapers and dinner times.
