I'm coming back to this years later and just marveling at how much of a genius he is. I have a few things to say: 1. The subject matter. He's highlighting that men can also get harrassed in the music industry, which is mentioned even less than women, so not a lot. He's not only speaking for himself(assuming this is accurate) but for others in a similar situation. 2. Writing good songs is hard, but connecting them all to a theme is even harder. I applaud Todrick for sticking with the Wizard of Oz theme throughout the whole album. As you may know, there's an infamous poppy scene in twoo where Dorothy and the gang are succummbing and being put into eternal sleep, and later in the Wiz the poppies are depicted as dancers that 'seduce' people into staying with them forever. I love how he ties the harrassment analogy in there, as she's luring him with a promosing career("I can almost see your name in lights" "Destiny's calling and your future is so clear") but the outcome is uncertain. This is a scare tactic that many talent agencies use to get people to go with them, harrassment + assault included along w a promising career, that many people in the industry fall victim to. Overall, Todrick is a hugely underrated performer/storyteller, go listen to him, that's all i have to say. Thank you. Side note: Nicole Scherzinger can freakin' SIIIINNGG!!!!

[@treyrhodes1611]

Papi sounds similar to poppy. Also her dress in the last scene is covered in poppies! It makes too much sense...he is so clever! Good catch

[@niltash4ever]

Nicole is like a singing goddess

[@emiliahagner]

@@treyrhodes1611 And she also has poppies on her desk in the office scene.

[@kimnichols4417]

He confirmed that he was in a similar situation to this song, but he turned them down IRL.

[@DSchae2165]

yes, the industries harassment and sexual "promise to success" is the first thing that came to mind. Todrick has done something in a few videos that I am grateful for ... he put himself in the woman's place of how he's treated in the video -- or using male models as background as many video's place women. Women are not 'trophies', and this is a theme Todrick has used subtly in his videos. I'm sure the LGBT community is treated similarly as women in the industry.

[@jesse4147]

bruh she fully said your sexy piece of chocolate like cmon

[@ふれでりか-i3c]

It's chilling how in the end, one moment Todrick looks determined to take advantage of the situation, probably telling himself this is nothing and he's the one using her to get what he wants, then next moment she's on top of him looking so dominant and uncontrollable, starkly reminding him of how she's the one using him and not the other way around, how he is not in control of this situation at all because she's too powerful and too unreliable, and he seems unsure again whether he's made the right choice. I love both of their acting so much

Travis is it? You have a really big... big personality haha [Nicole Scherzinger:] So glad you came to visit Your talent is exquisite Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? The AC might be broken Let's crack a window open Then hold me close so you can whisper in my ear Tell me all your dreams and fantasies Pardon me, I have a tendency to talk a lot Lay it all on me You little sexy piece of chocolate Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy [Todrick Hall & Nicole Scherzinger:] Wait don't... wait don't go A little non-committal Just meet me in the middle Don't be afraid our little secret's safe in here You got potential Trevor It's Todrick Whatever Destiny's calling in, your future is so clear I can almost see your name in lights What a sight... my mind is spinning like a carousel Trevor all I need is a little taste of caramel [Nicole Scherzinger:] Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy [Todrick Hall:] Find myself in the strangest predicament Her intentions could be innocent But I don't know if I should go through with this If I do, I risk saying yes But what if it's a test? That's a mess You can rest assured the fate of my success would be less But the question is if I should tell her no Would I blow my big break? Would it be a mistake? For God's sake, she's gotta know... She's not my body type And I know, what's wrong just can't be right On the one hand you got one life You should cut yourself some slack You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back Is she talking a big talk or is this how you play the game? She says I got sharp potential, she can't even say my name How many one-hit-wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them? You've never touched a boob in your whole life and she's got two of them This road is full of choices, tough decisions, rough mistakes Take the highroad or the easy street, the choice is yours to make [Todrick Hall & Nicole Scherzinger:] But I don't know If I'm your body type I'm so close to all those emerald lights Won't you stay and lay with me tonight Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy "Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride" "Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi" "I know that it would be a shame if you blow the chance to taste the fame" "You want all of Oz to know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy"

There is such a deep meaning here for Todrick and everyone is kinda blowing it off.. it's true art. He should get more credit for this

[@uniquesongstress]

He basically used the concept of the Poppies from the 1978 version of the movie "The Wiz" as a plot device to show how you can be lead astray from your path by something/someone, without actually knowing that, that's what going on. If you've seen The Wiz you'll understand. In The Wiz, the poppies were actually these really beautiful women, and you had to past by them on the yellow brick road in order to get to the Emerald City. They were dressed in really tight clothing, they were dancing and music was playing in the background. Dorothy and her crew were sucked into their charms and started walking and dancing with them, they in turn sprinkled them with some type of dust that put them to sleep. The poppies were sent by Evilene (the same character as the wicked witch of the west) to lure them away from seeing the Wizard and right into her hands.

Actually it's not. There are tons of songs by many artists that sing and rap about the industry struggles and abuse. The cries are not only in music, but in other forms of social media. Actors/actresses as well. You just have to listen carefully. They're really crying out for help.

This is actually based on an event that actually happen. He didn't say yes to it in real life and it doesn't show his answer in the video. But even if he had I'd still call it at least manipulation. You know that thing you've been busting your ass your whole life for? Yeah I'll give it too you.... if you sleep with me. Anyone would feel corner by that. Maybe it's not rape but it's at least sexual harassment.

I love this whole 'movie' and how Todrick used play-on-words to allude back to the story. Papi sounds like poppy, the red flowers in the field of dreams and excess in the book. She even wears poppy flowers on her dress at the end. All about giving into dreams and temptation.

So glad you came to visit Your talent is exquisite Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? The AC might be broken Let's crack a window open Then hold me close so you can whisper in my ear Tell me all your dreams and fantasies Pardon me, I have a tendency to talk a lot Lay it all on me You little sexy piece of chocolate Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow The chance to taste the fame you want, oh My boss would know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Wait don't, wait don't go A little non-committal Just meet me in the middle Don't be afraid our little secret's safe in here You got potential Trevor It's Todrick Whatever Destiny's calling in, your future is so clear I can almost see your name in lights What a sight, my mind is spinning like a carousel Trevor all I need is a little taste of caramel Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow The chance to taste the fame you want, oh My boss would know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Find myself in the strangest predicament Her intentions could be innocent But I don't know if I should go through with this If I do, I risk saying yes But what if it's a test? It's a mess You can rest assured the fate of my success would be less But the question is if I should tell her no Would I blow my big break? Would it be a mistake? For God's sake, she gotta know She's not my body type And I know, what's wrong just can't be right On the one hand you got one life You should cut yourself some slack You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back Is she talking a big talk or is this how you play the game? She says I got sharp potential, she can't even say my name How many one-hit-wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them? You've never touched a boob in your whole life and she's got two of them This road is full of choices, tough decisions, rough mistakes Take the highroad or the easy street, the choice is yours to make But I don't know if I'm your body type I'm so close to all those simple lights Won't you stay and lay with me tonight Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow The chance to taste the fame you want, oh My boss would know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Well I don't know if I'm your body type But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride Won't you sway my waist from side to side? Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi I know that it would be a shame if you blow The chance to taste the fame you want, oh My boss would know your name Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy Love u todrick~
