Chris Crocker - Second to None.
I fully realize I’m about to lose all my followers/credibility for posting this, but whatever. I’ve never been ashamed of my taste, and I’m not about to start now. If I believed in guilty pleasures, I would certainly use that as an excuse for being slightly obsessed with this song.
Yes, this is Chris Crocker of “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE” fame. He’s been releasing singles for just over a year now, some of which have actually charted remarkably high on US iTunes. “Second to None” is trashy, brazen, and incredibly bad. I love it.
Lately some of my favorite male pop stars have promised to deliver sexy/risky/edgy songs, and I feel like they have mostly failed to deliver. It’s kind of like expecting to receive a dirty picture and just getting a dirty text.
Well in this song, Chris drops f-bombs like there’s no tomorrow, praises his cock, and calls himself a “top notch-bitch.” Not being concerned about what anybody thinks is perhaps the strongest thing he has going for him. What makes the song addictive for me, is the second part of the chorus, which mostly repeats the first, but brings it up a level. One of the oldest tricks in pop-writing, but for me it works. THIS is the jam I want to be grinding with my boys to. Not any of this other vanilla shiz coming out lately.
