I find the song Lollipop extremely catchy not because of what it's about, rather the music as well as the chorus in general. Many people find the song inappropriate and offensive, butt I believe that he has put it in a style that leaves one thinking about what Lollipop actually means in the song. Therefore, I don't think it's inappropriate and nasty because it all depends how one looks at it.

I think that Lollipop is one of Lil Wayne's superlative works because everyone loves and goes crazy about it. People have this song on their computers, ipods, phones, and mp3 players. It brings people to the dance floor and makes individuals energetic. It's one of the top downloads on almost every music web site, and it's popular.
Some people will say that the lyrics are explicit and inappropriate, but I feel that the words were put there for a reason. For instance, in the edited version, it just seems so in complete because taking words out of a song is like taking a few words out of a sentence. It's not the same saying I like strawberries and cream, and I like and cream. So, my point is that when modifying lyrics, the whole message isn't passed. Therefore, I don't consider Lollipop an inappropriate song because Lil Wayne is just using words in order to get his point across.
My favorite part of the song would have to be how it makes you think about what a lollipop actually is in that song. For instance, I like that it's used that way so that you can take it two ways and doesn't have to be considered nasty or disgusting or whatever else people disliking it would say. I feel that it was fair that metaphors were used because it makes things just more interesting. Finally, people will have their opinions and arguments about the song, but I love the song and it's amazing.
Lastly, I would recommend the song to all my friends and family who are rap lovers because I know they would enjoy it. Though, I wouldn't recommend the song to children under a certain age because it's simply not put out for children to be exposed to. While I argued that I don't consider the song inappropriate, this only applies to teens, and whoever else loves rap because what's a rap without expressive words? I will admit that I wouldn't want my children listening to profanity, but than again we all view it in life at least once or twice. Therefore, I don't really see the problem with kids being exposed to it because it'll happen sometime in their life anyways.
