AVAA! Meg's major embrace of anime on her album is very significant to me as a 25 year old black woman. It has only recently become socially acceptable to be publicly into anime. It's a real social risk as a black person. I love how she doesn't care and is open about being a black weeb. It's yet another layer of her being open and relatable. Same for Accent (im from Texas too). She is made fun of quite often for her thick accent so to see her bragging about it is so amazing! I see myself all throughout this album and that's a rarity in our entertainment! Thank you for adding more relatability with your analysis ❤

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

37:50 So, fun fact, that body part can be depressed, according to doctors! It's a condition called 'vulvodynia', for which anti depressants and anti anxiety meds are often prescribed. It was also covered, famously on an episode of SATC, Season 4 Ep 2, where Charlotte proclaims, after seeing the doctor, 'my v's depressed!'. For that portion of the body, so, so, much is psychosomatic. AVAA!

[@GenXDesigns]

Hmmmm. Interesting! Very very interesting

[@alijoy1721]

I have multiple sclerosis and I suffer from this. It was really bad for over a year and it's finally starting to get better. I wonder if that's why I like Megan thee stallion so much haha

[@MorrowLanguageLounge]

Much love to you, too, Professor Skye! Thanks for the shout-out in the video description. I'm enjoying your video right now...

[@professorskye]

Thank you again for the suggestions. So useful and good!

[@MorrowLanguageLounge]

@@professorskye I teach a hip hop poetics class in the English department at my college, and I've been thinking about making a video about 4th wave feminism/modern womanism in hip hop. I recognize that your audience is much MUCH larger than mine, but would you be interested in collaborating on a video about Black female hip hop artists? I'm more interested in how these artists fit into the current black womanist/feminist movement than on analyzing their lyrics which is what my hip hop poetics course focuses on. Btw, congratulations on the newest addition to your family. And, congratulations on making videos despite the sleep deprivation of having a newborn!

[@professorskye]

@@MorrowLanguageLounge Absolutely! That would be wonderful. Please send a message to my business email [e-mail] and I'll respond on my university email and we can get going on it.

[@LexyconDevil]

Also Meg doesn't have vague sexuality, she is bisexual. She's talked on it multiple times enough for me to be certain there ain't no "vague" in that. :)

[@KendraMellifera]

Thank yooouuuu bisexual is not vague!

[@SoulUniQ]

This video deserves more views and likes! Excellent resources used and very clear breakdown.

[@fanrosefabrose9457]

Before this video came out actually spent the entire of yesterday listening to Meghan's entire discog and her freestyles because i felt like I've beej ignoring her for too long. And damn right her lyricism is incredible: wity punchlines, sexual expression, power fantasy and for the most part of Traumazine reflecting on betrayal amd exploitation in the industry.

[@teionnathompson9105]

You are the type of person I would want to interview Megan… knowledgeable, eloquent, (seemingly) unbiased and objective. AVAA

[@dylanclarke2787]

no one else does it like Professor Skye lmao. Really enjoy your analysis in this one. tons of quotables here. idk to how much CupcakKe you've listened, but Ephorize from 2017 is my recommendation if you want to analyze some stellar "V. Monologuing"

[@emerald5824]

I was sooo worried when I clicked on this video, however, excellent job! I think I'll watch more of your videos. BTW have you listened to Monaleo? One of the funniest and most creative rap girls out.

[@astroxdez]

YESSSSSS!

[@Nae210]

I actually text this to a friend today. The rap girls are actually funny! Lol

[@Gabriellaella23]

I love Leo! 💕 she’s so funny I’ve actually laughed out loud to a few of her lines. Very witty. Kinda of like Lil Wayne. Different style completely, but the wittiness gets me. 😅

[@thoonder3034]

AVAA! I think I'm going to check out Bad Fat Black Girl, thanks for tying it into your analysis.

[@melodyjoi5]

Thanks Professor! Now, I will listen to the album and consider your theory, as I develop my perspective of the music. AVAA

[@mitchelldunn9149]

I share 98 percent of the opinions in this video and I’m only 5 minutes in. Let’s put more respect on Megan’s Name.

[@ZG-fx3ri]

The fact that Megan doesn't get more respect is complete BS. She made songs talking about depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, PTSD, grief and ignorant folks are constantly trying to say she can't rap / only talks about sex. The woman is an intelligent, versatile lyricist and people need to listen to someone's discography as a whole before you judge them. Haters need to hear Traumazine. Badly.

[@ZG-fx3ri]

Also, so what if most of her music was sexual content? Too Short is considered a Lord of the Bay Area for all the filth he said. Dude made a song talking about a girl DYING after they had sex and nobody flinched. But when Megan talks about what she likes, the same folks listening to THAT want to cringe and say she's lacking. Women's sexual rap of today has NOTHING on the explicit nature of common men's rap of today or the previous DECADES.

[@thejuvenoia]

@@ZG-fx3riyou ate this. i find it telling that when men rap about pussy, it's okay.. but when women rap about our _own_ pussies, it's "ohhh noooo! not the vagina!! the children! the planet! the people!"

[@Bobsam-m1p]

Covering a range of topics is nice, but it’s more about how well you do it. If her best songs are about sex that’s all she’s known for until she produces conscious songs at same standard

[@ambergibson7381]

Thank You!! Who is he?!🤷🏽

[@indigophoenixskies1030]

​@@Bobsam-m1pthey are at the same standard. Your vapid self doesn't get to finger-wag because of your hyperfocus and dehumanization. And you won't get the irony...

[@PiscesWeird]

Professor! Thank you. I am so emotionally connected to Meg thee stallion and i believe ppl think she’s just another girl rapping about nonsense but it’s so much more. Never been into city girls, and these other young rappers but I instantly fell in love with Meg!

[@vivianagbegha2712]

AVAA! Thanks for your strong defense of the She Hulk show! I loved it. ❤

Megans ad lib is aah not bleghh 😂😂😂

I loved this, Now I’m going to go watch your Bratz video now

[@starstrudel8417]

Fascinating theory, thank you for the stream. I might've missed it because I hopped in a bit late, but I wonder how this relation between identity and the symbolic aspects of the vag1na relate to her choice of adopting snake imagery (which in my experience is usually a phallic image)? I remember thinking to myself that Megan is adopting the snake/redefining the snake's symbolic meaning by focusing on its power and rebirth (the sacred 'Myth' of the snake), without necessarily excluding its seductiveness (the 'stigma' of the snake- would stigma even be the word here? But I refer to its 'naughtiness' LOL). I could just be blowing smoke because I find Megan so interesting, but your discussion really made me think. Also, i didnt know you like anime. Thanks for the stream!

[@lilyeturnal3720]

What a great review. Thank you. Much more thoughtful than Fantano’s lazy, dismissive review. 😊 This is just my personal opinion.

[@amthompson94]

AVAA your analysis is always top tier!

[@jmitchell3431]

AVAA !! i love your videos and your insight into albums that i love! I would’ve loved to hear more of your thoughts on the anime references in the songs and i wanted to share one that i think is super awesome! BOA is obviously in reference to a boa constrictor, but she’s also using in to reference a character from One Piece named Boa Hancock. I thought you’d think it was a cool correlation. if you look into her character she is thought to be the most beautiful woman in the world and lives/rules on an island of woman only. she has the power to control/turn men to statues with her looks. she’s a badass for sure, but she also is shown to come down with a “love sickness”. that is to say, even the most beautiful and powerful woman in the world can have desires to be wanted and want someone else. she’s a really cool character and i thought her drawing inspiration from her was really cool!! thanks for another great video:)

I personally don't believe only 26% of women watch porn. I know that's the data, but I think a lot of women are unwilling to admit they watch porn. But that's just my opinion. If that's what the data says, then we gotta go by that. AVAA

[@squirrelsinmykoolaid]

Is it really that unbelievable when you factor in how heterosexual flicks depict women?

[@PabloHernandez-rr1or]

AVAA, haven't even beginned to watch but ik the goat will provide

[@ariedmck]

I agree with you about female MCs and bars, Prof. someone I’ve been liking, but isn’t huge is Flau’jae. You’re pretty tapped in so I’m guessing you’ve at least heard of her and maybe heard her freestyles. She’s a guard for LSU and just performed at the ESPYs. I’d love to hear your take on one of her songs or her performance.

[@MsShelvia]

Wow the title had me ignoring it hasn’t been dropped yet.

[@GamerIsASlur]

Megan just needs a good producer dude. I love her, and her lyrics. But the beats are always so weak. Other than Cobra and Boa, I find the instrumentals frustratingly bland. Send her Hudson, AG, hell even Kenny could conjure some wicked vibes. Won't ever happen, but could you imagine her on an Alchemist beat😳

[@jameelahc4868]

Spot on! Enjoyed the beats and variety on Traumazine more. But still streaming Megan heavy cause her lyricism is addicting.

[@kadeezall]

You earned a like from your joke in the beginning.. smile

[@DeVlaamseStripjunkie]

AVAA. Have you checked out Marsha Ambrosius' CASABLANCO yet? It's a great R&B record that recently came out and has a lot of Jazz, Soul and Hip Hop influences. Not only is it released on Aftermath Entertainment, it even is entirely produced by Dr. Dre himself. It truly is a masterpiece, I think that you would appreciate that record.

[@ariedmck]

The Sesame Street type P for the specific word you meant took me out!!!😂😂😂

Important to know the Barbie/Brat comparison is also in reference to her beef with Nicki Minaj whose fans are called barbies/barbs

[@colef6855]

AVAA off topic but humbly requesting for you to check out/review the new Zach Bryan album. not sure if you ever listened but really good americana/country and I'd be curious to know what you think

[@stephendavis8968]

Appreciate the lesson but the album is still terrible. She a talented lyricist but this is a very lazy album. She has zero creativity and is very limited by her vocabulary. She makes really good verses and freestyles but she can not put together a decent album.

[@veem4059]

ik it’s your opinion and everything but i wouldn’t call it terrible lol. it’s a decent album, obviously not her best but not terrible. it pays homage to the south, has club hits, she’s vulnerable on it and incorporates her interests (japanese culture/anime). and i believe you mean her topics are limited, her vocab is actually very broad which is what makes her a talented lyricist. and as for zero creativity i think that’s just untrue cause to be a good freestyler (which she is) you need to be creative. now the problem with this album is that it is safe sonically, but still manages to be a bit all over the place and it drags. it’s as if she’s trying to please everyone. like there are too many fillers, it was originally 14 but she made it 18 after asking her fans what type of music they wanted. she also needs to work on her choruses cause they are repetitive. i think she needs to just break out of her simple production shell and explore new musical styles. write fuller choruses. keep her bodys of work concise and close to her vision. and work on her delivery and how she expresses herself on a song

[@stephendavis8968]

@@veem4059 I completely disagree. Especially on the vocabulary end and to be a talented freestyler doesn’t require creativity. I’m not sure how you’re connecting the two. I agree that it’s sonically safe which is why it’s not creative. The length isn’t the issue, if the album was 5 songs it would still be very bad. There aren’t even 3 good songs on this album. I like Megan but this was a very hard listen. It didn’t even deserve the analysis that the Prof uploaded. Basic surface level bars, repeated themes in over half the songs, cookie cutter production. A lot of lows, some mid but no highs. Can you think of a worse album that came out this year? I can’t.

[@TruthInLove330]

The world loves the world and thus enjoys the trash it produces. Also Mr. Skye stop being so PC and woke. It is obvious you are walking a thin line trying not to offend people. It is pathetic to not speak your mind by using made up language used to twist the truth.
