Whoregasm

Release Date:  2019

CupcakKe’s jazzy new track is worthy of a burlesque show

CupcakKe usually sets her audaciously sexual lyrics to equally rambunctious beats, like the thumping club hip-hop production of “Duck Duck Goose” or the uptempo dembow groove “Squidward Nose.” But on her newest single “Whoregasm,” the Chicago rapper slips into something a little more sultry, taking on a jazzy arrangement that could soundtrack a burlesque striptease or the next Fifty Shades of Grey film.

But just because she’s rapping over a slower beat doesn’t mean CupcakKe is dialing back her delightfully crass persona. Instead, she cranks up the seduction, talk-rapping like she’s a phone-sex operator as she boasts about deep-throating a pregnancy test and compares her sexual performance to a five-star Uber ride. Her strongest asset is her talent for spinning ultra-specific pop culture references into metaphors about her pussy, like when she compares its color to Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday, or its baldness to Jermaine Dupri’s head, or its after-sex care to Naomi Campbell’s fastidious airplane sanitization routine. Outrageously funny and explicit? Fifty Shades could never.
