I think David Banner really cares about the ladies. After all the whole Ying Yang shitstorm, "Play" is like a cum-soaked olive-branch. Or a dirty Valentine's Day card.
Check the technique:
Cum, girl, I'm tryna get your pussy wet
Note the use of the word "trying." He has no unrealistic expectations. He doesn't consider himself some sexual marvel like some twurkaholic Ying-Yang riffraff. Those insensitive alliterative fucks! They think just the sight of their penises should send ladies into orgasmic rapture. A faint glimpse of their mythical meat should have you undulating and throbbing, desperately hungering and clawing the walls like some feral animal. Wait 'til you see it. The Ying-Yang Twins are fronting and wasting your time. They are straight phallobustering!
Work that clit. Cum, girl
David knows where the clitoris is. That already makes him better than 75% of all men. Note how Ying-Yang go right for the "pussy." If you showed them where the clit was, they'd probably give it a noogie or something stupid like that then high-five each other. Fuck that.
Finger-fuck your pussy like you want some, girl/Work it like a nigga straight licking on your pearl
And he gives head, too! OK, techinically the girl is doing all the work in this scenario, but, seriously, this is on some Chaucer shit.
I'ma beat that pussy up/You get it wet enough, I might lick it up/Lickey, lickey, lickey, like a peppermint swirl/Lick that clit/Cum, girl
Fine. Fine. He still uses violent, brutalizing language sometimes. I agree that that is totally inexcusable and shitty and weak. But YYT don't talk about cunnilingus once, and Banner's not even halfway through the first verse and he's already offered it twice! That's downright chivalrous
Damn, cause your ass so chunky/Bring it here sweaty, 'cause I love it when it's funky
He doesn't care if you're heavy. Or if you've showered.
Of course, I'm not a woman, so I have no idea how his shit would come off in the real world. But I imagine the effort's nice, right?
Plus the squiggly beat sounds like a Teddy Ruxpin as opposed to dudes stomping their feet in a locker room. Go Banner!
I like that it's a whole song that's just as filthy as YYT, but dedicated to giving a girl an orgasm as opposed to a brash and self-centered "If you wanna skeetskeet you bou to get your feelings hurt."
Does dB's filthy mouth take away from the sentiment?

Wait still sounds better.Yeah, and Play is such a blatant rip off it's a little embarrassing to hear it coming from the great D Banner. Really though, I love both songs too much to complain. The clean Play and the explicit Wait, that is.
