  • "Never Do It Without Your Fez On"

    After hearing my share of tunes that clearly mention sex, I'm surprised I might be the only dude who heard a rap group advocate condoms.


    Now, personally, I'm not big on sexual songs. If it is done right and actually brews either sensuality, or makes you actually feel horny, then you know a sexual song is being done right. Yet, as I was listening to one of my favorite groups, Animal Nation, I came to the conclusion of how frightening it is that rappers aren't trying to sing about the importance in packing a jimmy hat.

    The saddest part is that some people here (say, a majority) haven't heard of Canadian duo Animal Nation? It's not your fault. I've been advertising them for a while. And one way I can do that is say out of all the rappers I have ever heard, they are probably better role models in sex than the likes of Pitbull and Lil' Wayne. 

    Animal Nation admit being sexual, but suggest it's best to never do it without your fez on. They let us know they carry one in their pocket everywhere they go, in case something brews.

    Over a Steely Dan beat, Steige makes it clear that he's not ready for a kid, because in the heat of the moment, some will forget to pull out with unprotected sex. Steige and Mike also speak for those that aren't financially ready for it either. "I can't even cook for myself twice a day/How am I supposed to send a baby on its way?", He points out. From that line on, and Mike (Mike is the one in the beige hat) claiming "A jimmy is a man's best friend", it's like we found yet another reason why radio truly sucks as a source of learning about the world over.

    These guys inspired me to keep on with my collection of 32 types and brands of condoms (and counting).

    Have you heard of Animal Nation? Do you know any other musicians that promote safe sex? Do you think music today has a negative influence on sex, dating and relationships?
