"Throw That Boy Pussy" is a song performed by American rapper Fly Young Red, issued as a single in September 2013; with the music video premiering in March 2014. The song heavily references homosexual anilingus with many same gender sexual overtones.[1] The song mainly samples Lil Wayne and Trina's "Wowzers" single also released in 2013.
Music video[edit]
The video features male background dancers twerking in a nightclub with Fly Young Red and his friends watching on the other side of the bar drinking and complimenting the male dancers.[2] The video was filmed in Club XL in Houston.[3] Fly Young Red selected "Throw That Boy Pussy" as his first video release after observing view counts on some pre-release previews of songs from his album.[4]
Critical reception[edit]
The provocative lyrics have sparked debate over such social and sexual issues as creative freedom, sexism, and black gay culture.[1][5] Darnell Moore has described the song as "honest, but not transformative", while Wade Davis has called it "revolutionary".[5] It was plagued with controversy within the African American and hip hop community as the references to the song are not mainly what are associated with the culture.[6]
Gawker described the song as "the new What What (In the Butt)", and said the song is destined to be a classic,[7] while Dan Savage referred to it as an "anthem".[8]
