Music Review: Ying Yang Twins & Mike Jones "Badd"

Ying Yang Twins & Mike Jones

Badd

Album: U.S.A.

Year: 2005

            Kaine and D-Roc are the on the lookout for hot women in the obnoxious           “Badd.”

           Out of key synths open the single, setting a stoned tone. In the intro, they namecheck themselves, Mike Jones and their producer. (“Collipark/HAHN!/Chea! Yo!/Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones, Jones!HANH!/Holla at chea boy baby, yeah!/You killed it on this one man (Uh Huh!)/Chea!/We got Ying Yang Twins and Mike Jones in the house/Tonight!/Yo yo! (All my dymepieces)/Collipark and Swishahouse in this bitch/Check it out!/Yo, yo.”)

                   In the chorus, Mike Jones want a woman with an hourglass figure.  (“I'm lookin' for a dyme, that's top of the line/Cute face, slim waist, with a big behind/I need a dyme, that's top of the line/Cute face, slim waist, with a big behind (Hey Shorty!)/You want this money then you gotta be a badd bitch/Shake that ass for the tip if you a badd bitch/Drop it down to the floor if you a badd bitch/Aw nah she ain't no ho she just a badd bitch.”)

                   Jones says every place is an opportunity. As he puts his groceries in his car, he’s glancing at the women who pass the by. Out with friends at the bar, he’s checking out every woman there. She has to have sex on her mind all the time. He does manage to find a woman to try one of his lines on.  (“I'm in the club, lookin' for a badd bitch/In the parking lot, lookin' for a badd bitch/Everywhere I go I'm tryin' to find that badd bitch/You know me I gotta keep me a badd bitch/A freak in the mornin', freak in the evenin'/I'm looking for a freak when I'm done, block bleedin'/Now take me to a house, tease me, then please me/And tell all her friends how the dick made her sleepy/Believe me, when I'm up in it I'm beatin' it/Givin' y'all that Mike Jones's treatment/I could tell by the way she walk that she got it/Body so deadly, you can tell when she drop it/I'm either gonna hit her or I'mma be asked aight/I've seen her walk by me, damn near passed out/Then crept up behind her, told her it was time to/Let a playa like me get in that vagina.”)

               Ying Yang Twins say the chorus again.

                Ying Yang Twins are salivating at the woman as she dips her head and lets her hand fall on her stomach. Then, she steps on top of the table and does a striptease. They ogle and try to get closer. (“She a ghetto ass bitch with some ghetto ass game/In the club where she work and she poppin' that thing/Said the bread keep her fed/And the head at the bar:/She could never breathe on a ***** dick and made 'em/***/Come one! (Come one!)/Come all! (Come all!)/Where them hoes like to get wicked balls/And they can't take off they drawers/Ain't standin' now, ***** naw!/I love the way she dance, she look like she fuckin'/Herself/Shawty do a number just touching herself/Freaky ways, she can shake ass for days/Getting kinky in 69 different ways/Jump on stage she gets paid, so hold off/You got enough money she taking the clothes off/Look at that: I tought I taw a puttycat/I did, I did, I did taw a puttycat.”)

                Jones says the chorus again.

               The Ying Yang Twins decide to go the strip club. They approach the first woman they see and order around. She starts talking about her day but they cut off. They only want to look at her. From what they know of her, she’s working her through school. It’s make her even attractive to them. (“Bitch move, like you got somethin' to prove/
Keep runnin' your dick-sucker/Who you gunna lose?/I don't wanna hear about your ************ blues/I'd rather see your ass clap-clap in them shoes/Like/Bam, bam, bam, bam/Wham, wham/I tought I taw a puttycat/Shorty gettin' crunk, love gettin' low/Love it when she take it to the toe/Make that booty roll/Take her clothes off for cheese, love smokin' weed/And she getting hella freaky on the ecstacy/Do her dance for me, song after song/Shorty won't stop, she goin' all night long/Now that's a girl who know what she want and like/She a schoolgirl by day and a stripper by night.”)

               Jones says the  chorus again to end the single.

               Jones, while not saying anything unique, is energetic. At least he's not taking it as seriously as the Ying Yang Twins. He's thinking of his paycheck.

              The Ying Yang Twins, however, are quite the perverts and proud of it.  They don’t care who hears. It’s chilling how willingly they demean the woman. They expect her to service them in a cavalier way. There’s a hint of anger in their voices that if she doesn’t listen, she will be disciplined or they would find a way to get her fired.

             The horrific “Badd” represents the worst of male gender
