So, I love this song. Its mad smooth, but I don't like the music video. I don't get it. Is this a man's fantasy world? Every woman portrayed in this video is barely dressed and they are labeled kind of like in a board game. Such as "the delivery girl", "neighbor" and "police officer." I'm trying to get to the core of the message. That women's value is only found in their physical appearance and sex appeal? This song and many times the video as well is very popular among the females I know. Do we just accept the way we are portrayed? I fell such a lack of respect, especially in the parts where the man is spanking the police officer on the butt with a stop sign--She's smiling and "playing" right along. Its such a joke. Another girl is shaking her hips and butt all around him with a carpenter's belt on. Ms. Tasty pop works at a food booth and he goes right behind her while she is bending forward and check out her ass. And you wonder why women pursuing professional careers have it so hard. This is a mainstream video that came out only a year ago. Why do we accept the ideology behind it?

I mean, it’s a music video for a 2000s Latino-American rapper. What do you expect? Female artists sexualize music videos AND themselves all the time. Also, the song has lyrics like “you was there with your honey buns” so idk what you imagined the women would be dressed like. I like the song because Bash’s first verse in his low tone was very unique on the recording, and also, I was born the day the song was released (8/15/3). I just discovered it a few weeks back, pretty cool times the 2000s seem to have been based on the comments in the music video uploaded to YouTube.
