From the Wiki:

The song is addressed to a girl, or girls in general, and describes the method of a man who seduces women with untruths ("rapping"). The singer says, "You know what he's after"; he concludes by saying there comes a point at which the man has his target where he wants her. The girl has to "face reality." The record ends with a small group of applause heard in the studio. Link

The word "rapper" is just one voiceless bilabial stop away from "raper," but "raper" isn't a real word, is it? Instead, we garnish the term with a specialist's suffix: rapist.

The Best F*cking Article You’ll Read Today: Profanity in Rap Lyrics Since 1985

As we all know, a common ingredient in many rap lyrics is shameless profanity. No word is off limits. With f-bombs and assorted slurs streaming through popular music, it’s no shock that some people are up in arms against rap. As mentioned before, these artists reach a huge audience. Is it appropriate for them to be spitting profanity-laced lyrics to the world? This study won’t be answering any questions of morality, but it should give others some fuel to form their own opinions.

We examined profanity in popular rap music since 1985. The key word here is “popular”. To do this, we selected the five albums from each year that we deemed as the most influential or important. Total sales, artist name recognition, and album hit density all factored into our album choices... You can see the full list of albums by downloading the data from the Best Tickets Data Collective. For this study, we counted each instance of profanity in every song of every album. Without further adieu, the results....

Although the claim by Crack Emcee was that there was more misogyny (not necessarily profane?) in Led Zeppelin lyrics than in rap, this "study" does include a catalog of terms in rap lyrics (since 1985) that could be construed as misogynous. Terms such as B*tch, Ho and C*nt.

 

That's 3,577 times the word b*tch was used, 1,213 times the word ho was used and 33 times the word c*nt was used on raps most popular albums alone.

Many of these songs even have profanity in the title, setting the stage for the ensuing madness. I do feel the need to mention a particular song that was not used in our study, but is regarded by many to be the most profanity-laced rap song in history. Lil’ Jon’s “Real N*gga Roll Call” featuring Ice Cube from 2004 is mindbogglingly vulgar. In total it contains more than 329 cuss words, including: 165 n*ggas, 61 f*cks, 33 p*ssys, 25 b*tches, 21 asses, 17 hos, 4 skeets, and 3 sh*ts. It really is utterly ridiculous. I can’t with a clear conscience recommend that you listen to it, but I will provide a link....
