Travis Porter... we meet again. This is the fourth time you've appeared on this blog. Each and every verse is lazy, most of the rappers repeat themselves to fill up their bars, and half of the chorus is garbled gibberish. Do each of these "gentlemen" have a speech impediment? What is their excuse for refusing to pronounce words?!
Content wise, this is the least objectionable Travis Porter single that I've heard. That doesn't stop if from being misogynistic.
One could argue that this is just an ode to big butts, in the vein of Fat Bottomed Girls or Baby Got Back, but take a look at those songs. Queen told fat bottomed girls that they make the rocking world go round (and was sung by a homosexual man). Sir Mix-a-lot came off a celebratory of the posterior in a tongue in cheek manner. He knows it's a joke (click here for an example).
This song comes off as leering and predatory. The group seems to see all women as strippers, so the tone of the song is not a surprise.
I don't see this on the charts as of yet, but it's blowing up here in Atlanta. Hopefully this is one instance where the rest of the country doesn't follow.
Like this song? Buy it on Amazon.
(Editors note - I originally believed that Travis Porter was the name of one individual. I've come to find out that it's actually a trio of rappers. Previous posts reflected my original view and will not be changed to reflect this new information unless there are enough complaints that I want to shut people up.)
