Kirko Bangz - What Your Name Iz?




It seems all you need for success these days on a single is to sound a little like Lil' Wayne. 


Verse 1
"girl what's up
I met you in tha club
next thing I know you was naked in my tub
yo panties over there yo bra over there
I swear to God I tell that p*ssy get up over here
like I am scorpion
no mortal kombat
but I swear to God she get that d*ck and come back
call me mr comeback
come back shaun michael's
swear to God I hope that little woman got geiko
we bustin out her windows
now we in tha car
I say b*tch where you going she say I forgot my bra
Ii tell her gotd*mmm
b*tch here come yo maannnn"

So to sum up, you met a girl in the club, then had sex with her.  Your sexual prowess is so high that she'll come back, despite the fact that she already has a man.  In a world where growing numbers of people have AIDS, HIV, and other STI's are growing resistant to treatment, why do we abide by song advocating one night stands?

"all I wanna know girl what yo name is
I see them other n*ggas they be on that lame sh*t
and I can take care of you and them girls you came with
but first you gotta tell me what yo f*ckin name is
what yo name is
girl what yo name is
what yo name is
what yo f*ckin name is
what yo name is tell me what yo name is
and I am so cooler than them dudes you came with"

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!   You don't know the name of the woman who you bedded?  The chorus to this song, now being played on radio stations and listened to by millions of people is a man asking a woman what her name is?  What kind of folks are listening to this and deciding to nod their heads mindlessly?!?!

The second verse ends in an extremely awful manner.

"just let do this sh*t
let me chop it up and let me screw this sh*t
i say (i say) let me do this sh*t
ch ch ch chop it (chop it up) and let me screw you b*tch"

How crass can you be?  There's no attempt at seduction.  Just straight up "Let me screw you b*tch."

The rest of this song is another repeat of the chorus and him repeatedly talking about her riding his d*ck.

I wish I could like this song.  Listening to it a few times to write this post I really got to feeling the beat.  THe guitar, the laid back groove... I just can't stand the message on top of it.  Listening on Youtube, Kirko Bangz isn't an untalented rapper.  I just want to see him garner some success on something other than the same old, lame old content like this song.  I'm all for artists putting their own spin on song themes, but this type of song, disrespectful of women doesn't need anyone else performing it.
