AC & Chromeo “Momma’s Boy (Remix)”
Injecting himself amongst the prancing keys of Chromeo’s infectious, Oedipal-tinged curioso “Momma’s Boy”, Staten Island emcee AC (of that clever “New Soul (Remix)” from earlier this year) further fleshes out the track’s uncomfortable lyric as he details the dysfunction of his current relationship.
From instant turn-off comments about her reminding him of his Mom, to awkward requests for her to sit on his lap (“She said ‘No’/ Cause that’s her Dad’s thing”) to his…erm, Downy-scented threads, AC absentmindedly gives his girl several moments of “Why am I even with you?” pause. Throw in the fact that he hasn’t yet proposed, and their romance has reached an unfortunate no-sex standstill. Now he’s left confused and horny, with nothing but a bowl of Special K and ESPN as his sole source of joy and a brewing hatred towards Sasha Fierce for even planting the idea that he should have put a ring on it.
While it’s about time someone started lashing out at Beyonce’s alter-ego and her trouble-causing hook, completely siding with AC proves to be just a little too difficult in this situation. That whole Mom comparison thing? It’s kind of icky, dude.
