WAP specifically feels like an experiment. A female singer's equivalent to the overtly sexual hiphop. In music, and in video.

Anecdotal: Friends have acknowledged that they're more disgusted by it than the male singer's counterparts. I admit I am, too. And this is regardless of the particular singer's ability to sing/rap, or the lack thereof.




Interesting. What makes it more disgusting?

Artistic merits aside, the (uncensored version of the) song and the music video seem justly regarded as a feminist redressing of the balance (if men can rap explicitly about being horny and wanting sex, so can women).


I recognise that, and thus acknowledge the importance of WAP, but I guess I'm more conditioned to expect this behaviour from men than from women? And the song makes me realise, and possibly correct for it, down the line.


Experiment? Little late for that. Nicki Minaj has been doing songs like this, better, for years
