Innuendo? More like full-on sexual vibes! Welcome to After Dark , a column featuring songs that are best suited for nighttime, specifically, the bedroom.  Many of the records featured here raise eyebrows, as well as the temperature! These After Dark tunes focus on the universal three-letter word:  SEX. The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.  In the 56th edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, “I WANNA SEE SOME ASS” by Jack Harlow featuring jetsonmade. 

Theme & Lyrics  

“I wanna see some ass /… Baby, can you do it like that?” Well, shallow lyrics like that leave little to the imagination, Jack Harlow. Furthermore, when the title of a song is “I WANNA SEE SOME ASS”, you know it’s intended for the bedroom, nighttime, etc. “She said, ‘I don’t wanna move too fast’ / ‘Til she hit that gas.” Woo! “I WANNA SEE SOME ASS” expectedly lacks depth and profundity.  But give the Kentucky-bred, Grammy-nominated rapper credit – he’s honest about what he desires on the third track from Sweet Action, which also features jetsonmade. Also, worth noting, he produces the track alongside CuBeatz.

The theme is loud and clear – SEX.  “I WANNA SEE SOME ASS” exemplifies fuckboy rap.  Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily when you consider how often other rappers rap about sex and sexual encounters.  Jack is confident AF making it clear, “And I’m still flyer than a bitch / And ya boyfriend, well he just not that.” Hey, it’s a funny lyric.  The second verse grows more explicit, with the gem “Strip club, pre-cum off of liquor, fell in love with a stripper…” Oh my!

Final Thoughts

After Dark wasn’t intended to have much substance.  With that in mind, “I WANNA SEE SOME ASS” also wasn’t intended to have much – rather – any substance.  Basically, we have a cocky, confident rapper who’s thinking with his pants.  Again, this is that fuckboy rap Jon Bellion rapped about in “New York Soul, pt. II” but at least my boy Jack Harlow – “Young Harleezy” – is incredibly likable (not to gas him up too much).
