Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. I still cannot figure out why the people are beating up the clown, why they throw him down the slip and slide in a violent manner and why he then suddenly appears happy and unharmed, yet wearing a gas mask(?) while dancing and enjoying the party. I also highly recommend the surreal video directed by Andreas Nilsson. The two choose a favorite female and encourage her to perform further exaggerated displays of sexuality. He is simply seeking to vent his earlier-expressed frustrations over monogamy, while 2 Chainz is free to act as he pleases, not beholden to any woman. Ye clearly seems to be the sidekick, or less dominant male, here. Deuce and Ye become two buddies hanging out at the club. This verse stands out as a personal issue of Kanye's that breaks suddenly with earlier portions of the song, but then irrevocably changes the themes, since the theme of money as granting power over sexuality becomes dominant in the final verse, shared by the two poets. Nonetheless, I am inclined to think the former since, ending his verse unsuccessful in his aims, he resorts to threats and reminders of his power to pull financial support if his desires are not met. One could argue that this distracts from the themes at play in the rest of the song - or is it, in truth, a brilliant display of how sexuality itself can, like riches, become a vast unattainable quest to which there is no end, since Yeezy, apparently secure in a relationship with one big-booty ho, is now seeking the sexual conquest of another and for both women to demonstrate his sexual dominance by performing with each other for his pleasure. Trapped in monogamous relationship with a woman for whom he provides financially, the phrase "all I want for my birthday is a big-booty ho" resonates within his mind as simply a desire for a ménage à trois, a desire upon which he has apparently become fixated. Yeezy's verse, however, seems out of place. In his verse he expresses his admiration for a particular female of great beauty and talent, demonstrates his dominance over his peers ("You the realest nigga breathin' if I hold my breath") and furthermore gives evidence of his sexual dominance. The singer can also justifiably take pride in his admirable accomplishments attained thus far (such as creating this song, or, at least, the lyrics to it) - "how I come up with this shit in the studio". And yet, "all I want for my birthday is a big-booty ho," in other words, the expression of sexuality and the quenching of sexual desire does allow the male psyche a bit of a reprieve from the pressures of work and striving for success. "When I die, bury me up in that Gucci store," demonstrates how man's quest for riches will always be unattainable, because no amount of wealth will ever be enough. This is a poignant reflection on death and the meaning of life. (Bad bitches contest you in first place!) Get it girl, get it girl, get it get it girl When I die, bury me inside the booty club (What I'm seein' from the back I can't front on) Tell the DJ play your song, this shit come on (Then hand the valet the keys to the Mercys') I show up with a check to your work place 'Cause I will turn you back to a pedestrian I'm jokin', I'm just serious, I asked herĭon't be actin' like no actress, if we preachin' then we practiceĭon't be reachin', don't be touchin' shit How 'bout she hit the 'West Inn' and get her best friend? She said, "How 'bout I get you jewelry from the Weston?" Put it on, give her a kiss, and tell her, "Do better" Went to her niece's graduation, man, I hate those kids 'Specially if you paid a couple payments on her mamma crib 'Specially if you put that BMW in her garage Y'all been together ten years, you deserve a ménage You go downstairs and fall asleep with the T.V. She holding out, she ain't givin' to the needy huh? It's my birthday, I deserve to be greedy huh? True to my religion, 2 everything I'm too different When I die, bury me inside the Truey store When I die, bury me inside the jewelry store When your girl leave me she need a hair salon Referee, with the whistle, brrt! hold his tech You the realest nigga breathin' if I hold my breath She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty When I die, bury me inside that Louis store When I die, bury me inside that Gucci store They ask me what I do and who I do it forĪnd how I come up with this shit up in the studioĪll I want for my birthday is a big booty ho
