"I got the swag and it's pumpin' out my ovaries," Kreayshawn noted on 2011's viral smash "Gucci Gucci." The Oakland MC's debut explores her skill at giving hormonally bonkers post-Odd Future shock rap a bratty, ashtray-Madonna spin. Over high-end electro bloop, she brags about pawing strippers and sipping purple with 2 Chainz. And woe be to anyone who does her wrong: "I should key your car, but I'd rather slap your mom/Only a bitch could give birth to such a fuckin' dog," she muses on "Left Ey3," who'd be pleased to see her scorched-earth legacy is in such competent hands.

    “Time to Pretend”

    MGMT | 2008

    Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
