They should create an anti-Boy Scout club for rappers like Akinyele, where instead of learning how to decide between poisonous and flavorful berries and how to open a can with a rock, one could earn merit badges with names filled with asterisks and pound signs for spitting dirty rhymes over tasty beats. The campfire song might never be the same. Driven by the same themes that run ragged circles around the minds of 16-year-old males, Akinyele's classic single "Put it in Your Mouth" (not a song about dinner etiquette) is undoubtedly the best-written bit of aural porn ever: Luther Campbell may have done this before, but only a fraction as well. Sure, the chances of the indisputably misogynistic Akinyele making it into the upper ranks of N.O.W.'s popularity are on par with Showgirls receiving an Oscar, but his infectious beats and well-delivered, potty-mouth raps are a must-hear for rap fans for whom being offended is a near impossibility. |
