Spank Rock - "YoYoYoYoYoYo"(Big Dada, 2006)

Is it possible for a rap album to succeed based on techno-edged drum-'n'-bass beats and lyrics about hardcore sex? Perhaps. But Spank Rock doesn't find a way to pull it off on YoYoYoYoYoYo. There's a limit to how much a listener can stand regarding overt sex and misogynistic tendencies, and Spank Rock tops that with the first track "Backyard Betty." "Damn, that pussy is damp, bang it 'til the bell stops ringing," Alex Epton raps. And I immediately search for draino for my ears. I'm amazed I listened to this entire album, but even more amazed that they allowed such tacky vocals to ruin solid crunk beats like those that grace "Touch Me" and "Far Left." Though I guess I should have figured that's what I'd get when the album features a song called "Screwville USA." Live and learn, I suppose. And let this album rot in the junk bin where it belongs.
