nnuendo? More like full-on sexual vibes! Welcome to After Dark ๐ ๐, a column featuring songs that are best suited for nighttime, specifically, the bedroom.ย Many of the records featured here raise eyebrows, as well as the temperature! These After Dark tunes focus on the universal three-letter word: ย SEX. The dark records gracing After Dark are old and new alike, with all genres of music welcome.ย On the 7th edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risquรฉ, & sexual vibes behind, ๐ต โOn Itโ by ๐ Jazmine Sullivan featuring ๐ Ari Lennox.ยTheme & Lyrics โย
Iโve written about ๐ต โOn Itโ, a standout from the ๐ Grammy-nominated, ๐ Jazmine Sullivan ๐ฟ Heaux Tales, previously (see the Also appears on ๐ฝ near the end).ย That said, I guess I canโt get enough of this edgy contemporary R&B joint.ย Even though the blurbs about โOn Itโ have appeared elsewhere, how could I NOT included it in After Dark ๐ ๐? Honestly, this is that After Dark ๐ ๐ sugar honey iced tea we live for! On โOn It,โ Sullivan enlists fellow R&B artist ๐ Ari Lennox for the assist. ย The duet encompasses ample reference to the D โ the joystick if you will!
โโCause I heard some freaky shit โbout you
So let me see what that mouth do.โ
Woo, Jazmine, gurlll! Now thatโs some steamy, sexed-up After Dark ๐ ๐ sugar honey iced tea foโ sho!ย The double entendre of โOn Itโ is everything to be honest .ย โLet me sit on it, yeah / I want you to prove it,โ both ladies sing on the chorus, adding, โBaby come on and prove / Why I should move / I want to spit on it.โ Jesus! The power of the peen is sufficiently explored to say the least. Prior to Sullivanโs โmouth-wateringโ second verse, Lennox serves up her own share of lust: โCurves got you drivinโ reckless / Take this water and hydrate, bitch.โ Da-yum! Expectedly, size comes into play (โLil bowlegged hood nigga with the nine-inchโ), in addition to the mouth and those โwaves.โ
Final Thoughts ๐ญ
As previously stated, regarding ๐ต โOn Itโ, itโs risquรฉ, period. Would I label it raunchy? Probably, but thatโs commonplace in the music of the 2020s, right? A positive takeaway for those ready to call this joint excessively filthy is that itโs a prime example of women liberating and unleashing their sexual side.ย Hey, if the guys can do it, why canโt the girls? ย โRelax, itโs just sex.โ
