about
So while I had the first two in the bag this was always my
intended third track to start “the comedy” off or whatever and,
believe it or not, it used to be a minute or so longer. Despite
being a fan of it myself the prevailing opinion was that it was
a bit “ranty” - I think these things happen, you get sucked into
very specific opinions when your tastes in music/culture are
specific and can end up losing people when you talk about it to
them. This was always intended to be my rant about “the hiphop
scene” and its over-sexualisation and endless mysogyny,
something that does grate despite being a fan of plenty of
songs that include that sort of thing. I nearly cut it from the
album but one of my favourite bars on the album is
so I couldn’t kill this baby. Also me and Steve batted some
ideas around regarding the bassline and it came out a treat,
so I’m happy with that. Not everyone’s favourite I’ll wager,
but there’s a point to be made. The beat was made BEFORE
2011 but I can’t find the date, which could mean it’s ancient,
maybe 2009 or something, originally it just went round and
round with “sex panther” being said every 4 bars (it was just a
loop). The original piano sample file I’ve named (in the Fruity
Loops session) “good old no work” so either I’d quit my day job
by then (2012ish) or I was off (any time before 2012 haha) but
otherwise I have no clue what it is. I’ve got a 19 second sample
I’ve chopped from it and used for this, but I can’t Shazam it
and I don’t think I have the original track any more so GOD
knows. Come at me for the sample royalties.
lyrics
(60% of the time) rappers talk about women every time/
And we enjoyed Biggie’s “A Friend of Mine”/
But never mind that, in the 90s it was effective/
And it’s still awkward as hell listening to the sex skits/
I mean, what possesses anyone to record, fake or not/
A load of moaning and groaning in between your famous songs/
To prove, what? You get ladies? Or ladies get you?/
Does the idea that we think you’ve never done it vex you?/
Is this school again? Are we back in 6th form?/
Laughing at virgins, chatting about FHM and porn/
Can we accept that people have sex and move on with our lives?/
Or is it cos sex sells? I would not be surprised/
Now evolution makes us obsess over it/
Releases all sorts of endorphins to reward so it is/
Unsurprising that it’s a focus of our everyday lives/
But we’ve evolved to be civilized, men can take wives/
Men can override this instinct to spread their chuffin’ seed/
That was instilled in us way before we hung from trees/
Or can we? Is that the point, I can already sense laughter/
Cos you believe deep down every man is a (sex panther)/
That’s why women who sleep around are “sluts”
and men who do are “pimps”/
Kings are given many women, it’s been like that ever since/
And the worst thing is you see the way fame attracts some lasses/
Giving themselves away with barely chance to bat their lashes/
I pray If I have a daughter she’s not prey for the (sex panther)s/
My nieces get older every day, kids TV gets blander/
And the next step is to get blathered, I should have had a godson/
Cos then I wouldn’t have had to purchase a bloomin’ shotgun//
