In the annals of Crap Rap, 2 Live Crew hold a very special place. Not only is their brand of hip hop just painfully mediocre, it’s the sort that, for all intents and purposes, is designed simply to provide controversy. And, damned if it didn’t generate enough controversy and scandal to propel it to the top of the Billboard Rap Chart and into the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989.

That said, everytime I hear “Me So Horny” I start to crack up. I get the giggles listening to the Full Metal Jacket clip played over and over and, of course, in the past had to say it over and over to get on the nerves of the Bean. Ah, good times.

Someday we here at 100b will make a graphic of the Poptastic Wheel so everyone can see how the good-to-bad-to-good continuum works for this sort of stuff. It’s a scientific thing. Like physics or even chemistry. Put enough bad into a song and, at some point, it becomes good again.
