Late Night Left Coast Lust and Misogyny

So this is definitely 2am jump-off music. On this first song, "Oh My," YB offers playerific play-by-play while Weezy adds his signature croakish croon on the hook. Off Ya Boy's forthcoming mixtape Mohawks & Heavy Metal.

"Oh My"- Ya Boy feat. Lil Wayne

The second track, "When We're F*ckin," is an OG Cali collabo between B-Real, Kurupt, Young De and Too $hort. You know any time $horty The Pimp is involved the subject matter will be risque. He continues to ensure this guarantee.

"When We're F*ckin"- B-Real feat. Kurupt, Young De & Too $hort

I'm not going to self-righteously lash out at the entire genre of pimp rap, because you all know I slap a little Ty $haw on occasion, especially at a function. BUT it kills me that LA radio personality Julio G dedicates this record to "the ladies." Let's keep it 100, the chorus is "I only love you when we're f*ckin." That's not exactly a statement dripping with chivalry and gentlemanly decorum. While it is true that women can feel this way too, there is no female representation on this song. I'm tired of male rappers thinking that if a song is about girls, then it's a record for girls, regardless of the content.

And with a $hort quote from the above song, I am out."You can be a piece of shit for all I care."

Wait, where my ladies at??
