You are probably right Dave, but there are rap tunes with far worse lyrics/language/themes than The Fox...and no, two wrongs don't make a right, but, seriously, I didn't even get the double entendre bit until you pointed it out.
As far as the song's quality goes, it's about a "C-" if that...and not my style.

I agree wholeheartedly with Dave. Problem is that kids are exposed to gutter language. more often than not, by adults. People that should know better are constantly using the "F" bomb as if it were normal, everyday language. Unfortunately, vulnerable children hear this and believe there is nothing wrong with dropping the "F" bomb on the school bus, the classroom, grocery store, movies, wherever, because Daddy or Uncle Jacob says that word all the time. A couple weeks ago, my 6-1/2-year-old grandson began dropping the MF bomb on the school bus. He got in a lot of trouble for that. When confronted by my daughter about where he learned that, he said he heard it while playing at the home of a neighbor and the neighbor's father said it. He figured it was OK because an adult said those words. NO IT'S NOT OK! It's gutter language pure and simple. I don't condone it, regardless of the source. It's not creativity or a musical art-form. And, from my perspective the only reason it is used in some songs is for it's shock value - nothing more, nothing less. I want my grandson to grow up in an environment that does NOT condone this type of activity. I want to see him go through life without using profanity to express himself vocally. I want him to be a gentleman at all times, treat people as he would have them treat him and respect his parents and elders. I don't think that's too much to hope for. For his abuse of language on the school bus, my grandson is now walking to school for the next two weeks. It's a 2-mile hike and he has to lug his backpack filled to capacity with books. To be safe, my daughter walks with him. She said she needs the exercise and really doesn't mind the 4-mile round trip walk twice a day. He's a big, strong kid, loves to play football, and some of the other kids on the field were yelling profanities at this Saturday's game. He asked my daughter why they were not being punished. She told him to ask the kid's parents that same question.
