“Me & My B!tch” — Notorious B.I.G.

“When I met you I admit my first thoughts was to trick…You look so good huh, I suck on your daddy’s dick (yeah)…I never felt that way in my life…It didn’t take long before I made you my wife (uh, yeah)” — Notorious B.I.G.

We presently live in an era of hip hop (if you even want to call it that) where there are a whole bunch of suspect things taking place that maybe 20 years ago would have gotten somebody beat the hell up, but now…it’s just the way things are.  Case in point, Young Thug.  Young Thug has been on record referring to his male friends as his “hubby” & “bae”, he’s referred to guns as being “dicks”, he likes dresses; basically any & everything that was once deemed suspect, Young Thug has found a way to make it mainstream & has been riding the wave of success that came along with it.  Twenty years ago, Young Thug would have never had a chance at all.  But twenty years ago, the late great Notorious B.I.G. was spitting bars talking about him sucking dick & niggas just pretended like they never heard that line.

Here’s the thing…

I’m in my mid-30s.  I was in high school when B.I.G. was doing his thing.  I remember Biggie when he had gold teeth just like I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news that he had been killed (5th period, Spanish class, 11th grade).  But I’d be lying if I said his bars about sucking his girlfriend’s daddy’s dick hasn’t been haunting me ever since I first heard the bars.  I never understood it.  I’ve tried to forget the lyrics & the song on multiple occasions, but every time I think I have succeeded, an old school lunch time mix on the radio magically seems to bring that song back to life and I find myself once again wondering….why B.I.G.?  Why?  Why did you have to say that?

I’ve slept with a lot of women in my lifetime ranging from some average chicks to dime pieces.  Out of all of the women I’ve ever slept with, never once in my life have I even remotely thought about a woman being so fine that I would “suck on her daddy’s dick”.  Like…NEVER has that thought ever come into my mind EVER.  Seriously, who honestly thinks about a chick’s father’s dick as he’s pursuing said chick?  Where they do that at?  In Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn I suppose.

Here’s the thing B.I.G., part of me thinks you were just trying to be extra clever with the wordplay while another part of me thinks you may have had a secret lusting for some penis in your mouth when composing those bars but you were trying to mask the lust for the penis behind how fine this chick allegedly was.  Twenty something years ago I could possibly understand how conflicted you may have been, but if you were alive today, it’ll be all good for you to proclaim your desires for mouth hugging some penis. 😕

Anyways, the real shame is that the hip hop community has pretended for the last 20 years like they never heard Biggie spit those bars.  Imagine that, the so-called greatest rapper of all time, may have had an affinity for penis in his mouth.  After all, hip hop is merely a reflection of life…or at least it was back in the 90s.  Just saying.
