1. Jazmine Sullivan, “On It”

Ft. Ari Lennox

💿 Heaux Tales • 🏷 RCA • 📅 2021

Jazmine Sullivan, Heaux Tales [📷 : RCA]🎵 “On It” is a standout from 💿 Heaux Tales, the long-awaited, comeback album (or EP, apparently) by 🏆 Grammy-nominated R&B singer, 🎙 Jazmine Sullivan.  Sullivan enlists fellow R&B artist 🎙 Ari Lennox for the assist.  The resulting duet encompasses ample reference to the D – “D” as in ‘dick’ of course.  Worth noting, “On It” follows another sexually charged song on Heaux Tales, 🎵 “Put It Down”. 

The double entendre of “On It” is steamy AF.  “Let me sit on it, yeah / I want you to prove it,” the ladies sing on the chorus, adding, “Baby come on and prove / Why I should move / I want to spit on it.” Damn, what can you really say to that! The power of the peen is sufficiently explored to say the least. Expectedly, there are references to size, the mouth, and of course, ‘waves.’  It’s risqué, but it’s an example of women liberating and unleashing their sexual side, which is cool.

2. Cardi B, “WAP”

Ft. Megan Thee Stallion

🎵 “WAP” • 🏷 Atlantic • 📅 2020

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion, "WAP" [📷: Atlantic]“There’s some whores in this house! / There’s some whores in this house!” The acronymic song 🎵 “WAP” had everyone’s undivided attention! 🎙 Cardi B and 🎙 Megan Thee Stallion are known for their fiercely, sexed-up personas, and “WAP” shows them straight-up flexing. Modesty is never the modus operandi on this former no. 1 hit with “whores” being the first word of the song on the intro (the record samples 🎵 “Whores in This House” by 🎙 Frank Ski).

Cardi B asserts at the end of the intro, “Wet-ass pussy, make that pullout game weak, woo.” She goes on to speak about the wetness on the chorus, while on the first verse, she asserts, “Hop on top, I wanna ride / I do a Kegel while it’s inside.” As for Megan Thee Stallion, on the second verse, she begins with a bang: “Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me / Quick, jump out ‘fore you let it get inside of me.”  It doesn’t stop there as both have additional verses with shocking, highly sexual lyrics. The ‘freaky’ perspective won’t be relatable or win everyone over but give them credit for such a raw joint where the women freely express their sexual desires like the men frequently do.

3. Ryan Beatty, “Flowers at the Door”

💿 Dreaming of David • 🏷 Boy in Jeans / Mad Love / Interscope • 🗓 2020

Ryan Beatty, Dreaming of David [📷 : Boy in Jeans / Mad Love / Interscope]“Draw on the pages, I won’t erase it / I want your mark on me, eternal.” Clearly, 🎙 Ryan Beatty is totally feeling ‘some type of way’ about him! Cutting straight to the chase, while the lyrical excerpt suggests a deep connection with a partner, 🎵 “Flowers at the Door” (💿 Dreaming of David) seems to be most thankful about a hot, freaky sexual experience. The sexual experience is artfully executed sans profanity. That said, lyrically, it’s clear that Beatty isn’t the least bit ‘innocent.’

Key lyrics from the first verse include the brilliant “Our heads connected, I got the message / You had your hands around my skull,” and “I look up to you when I’m below.”  Ponder it, and you realize it’s poetically portraying oral ‘pleasure’ involving the “joystick.”  The chorus expands upon the ‘happening,’ as Beatty sensually asks, “Why don’t you turn me around?” (aka hit it from the back to quote the rappers).  The bridge also sheds some light: “What’s so wrong with wanting more? / Rollin’ on the hardwood floor.” Clearly, Ryan is thankful for the ‘bouquet of flowers received at the door,’ and can’t wait for more…

4. Peaches, “Dick in the Air”

💿 Rub • 🏷 I U She Music • 📅 2015 

Peaches, Rub [📷: I U She Music]“We’re sick of hands in the air / And shake our asses like we don’t care / We’ve been shaking our tits for years / So let’s switch positions, no inhibitions, fears.” 🎙 Peaches dropped a filthy, tongue-n-cheek joint with 🎵 “Dick in the Air” (💿 Rub). Naturally, the first ‘part’ that comes to mind when uttering the title is the penis.

“Dick in the air, let me see you put your
Put your dick in the air
Dick, dick, dick
Dick in the air, let me see you put your
Put your dick in the air.”

Peaches makes points that go beyond sex, but there’s also too much wordplay to avoid the universal three-letter-word as well, including the likes of “Went down got milk moustache” (yikes) and “Balls and dick, two balls and one dick.” One key joystick moment of note:

“Face down, dick up, that’s my command
Take it like a real woman not Ayn Rand (trickle down)
Drop, give me eight inches a pop
Stop, you’ve gone numb, you need a lift
Use a thumb or take a fist.”

5. Megan Thee Stallion, “Captain Hook”

💿 Suga • 🏷 300 Entertainment • 📅 2020

Megan Thee Stallion, Sugar (EP) [📷: 300 Entertainment]“Dance on the dick, now, you been served / I like a dick with a little bit of curve / Hit this pussy with an uppercut / Call that nigga Captain Hook.” WOW! 🎵 “Captain Hook” is a sexed-up, unapologetic gem from 💿 Suga, the 2020 EP by 🏆 Grammy-winning rapper 🎙 Megan Thee Stallion. On “Captain Hook,” Megan Thee Stallion is bold and fierce AF.  Consider the lyrics as Exhibit A – an exemplification of naughty, X-rated-ness.

“Captain Hook” isn’t the least bit transcendent, considering Megan’s mind is on a joystick and clearly, the game she seeks filled with pleasure.  She doesn’t stop there, mind you, whether her and a “bi chick… [are] just trying shit” (experimentation) or her desire for “Mr. Clean, make that pussy beam.” “Captain Hook” is a banger, albeit it an absolutely, filthy one.
