| Robin Thicke's latest single Give It 2 U may once again inflame critics who have previously suggested that his Blurred Lines chart-topper is "degrading to women".
Give It 2 U features rapper Kendrick Lamar spitting rhymes about "d--k love", while Thicke sings about having "a little Thicke for you/ a big kiss for you/ I got a hit for you/ big d--k for you/ let me give it to you”. The music video has yet to be released.
In April, Feminist in LA blogger Lisa Huynh posted that Thicke's "new rape song" Blurred Lines "is disgusting— though admittedly very catchy".
Andrea Warner of CBC Music blog agreed, saying: "It's a catchy song, but that video, which has been described as rape-y by a number of women recently (including me), is a disturbing wonderland of male privilege, with Thicke whispering in a naked woman's ear, 'I know you want it,' over and over and over again."
