As promised, Rihanna‘s new single “Birthday Cake” — with special collaborator Chris Brown – dropped this weekend. Yes, as if it’s not bad enough that he wished her a happy birthday on Twitter and she responded with a chirpy “Thanks!”, the exes have actually been working together on two tracks.
And you know what makes “Birthday Cake” especially repulsive? Not only can Rihanna stand to share recording credits — we hope not studio space, as well — with the man who beat her up in 2009, but the two sing about how psyched they are to fuck each other’s brains out.
Considering Rihanna’s choice of cake at her actual birthday last week was a half-naked her straddling a monstrous joint, it should come as no surprise that her song about cake would be pretty dirty. And that in and of itself, with a couple we know to be happy and functional (say, Heidi Klum and Seal if they ever got into recording) would be intimate enough. But listening to Rihanna sing about “I know you want it in the worst way” has us squirming. It’s bad enough that Breezy’s fans think that him beating Rihanna up doesn’t make him a bad person; but now Rihanna is condoning that same behavior.
If you can’t listen at work, here’s some sample lyrics from both parties:
Rihanna
Ooh baby, I like it
You so excited
Don’t try to hide it
I’mma make you my bitch
Cake, cake, cake, cake
I know you wanna bite this
Its so enticin’
Nothin’ else like this
I’mma make you my bitch
Chris Brown
Girl I wanna fuck you right now
Been a long time I been missin’ your body
Let me, let me turn the lights down
When I, when I go down, it’s a private party
It’s not even her birthday, but I wanna lick the icing off
Give it to her in the worst way
I wanna blow the candles out
There’s so much history embedded in here, with Rihanna saying things like, “Remember how you did it? / If you still want to kiss it, then come and kiss it.” But you know which lyric really gets me? “Come and put your name on it”—because how can you joke about him marking you up when he did, publicly?
