Although I fell in love with hiphop when I was fourteen, I can't front that alternative music is an old flame that just won't go away. I like to rock out to bands that infuse metal and punk with an emo edge (Incubus). On occasion, I've also been known to appreciate female alt. rockers that show spunk (no pun intended, you'll see) but vulnerability at the same time. Case in point, Liz Phair...I've been a casual fan since the early 90's because she's always grabbed me with lyrics like:

"Your kisses are as wicked as an M-16
And you come like a volcano, and you're everything to me" - Supernova

On her latest album, she absolutely just blows me away with a track called "H.W.C." She manages to channel our male fantasies into 3 minutes of music. No female rapper, not Lil Kim, not Eve or even Foxy has uttered anything this bold. Although the song's content is pornographic, she manages to pull it off in an almost sweet endearing fashion. Pick it up! But for now I'll let you decide.

H.W.C.

Give it to me, don't give it away
Don't think about what the others say
My skins getting clear, my hairs so bright
All you do is fuck me every day and night

You're my secret beauty routine
Na, na, na, na, what my body has seen
I am lookin' good and I'm feeling nice
Baby you're the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

I'm gonna pull you back down between the sheets
Everything is fresher when the day is sweet
In the morning light when you're already on the phone

Face it, one of these days
Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
It's the fountain of youth
It's the meaning of life
So hot, so sweet, so wet my appetite

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

Skin is clear? Hair is bright??? Ane what more...it boggles my mind is that she says "it's the fountain of youth". That's a lil wisecrack thats reserved for US guys, its locker room, construction site, garage humor ...and to hear her claim it kind of takes the edge of it. And I respect that. Give Liz Phair a chance...she rocks, for a gir anyway.
