"How Many Licks"!! 👅🍭

Music often reflects and reinforces cultural values, including those around sexuality. Dancehall, for example, has both traditional and more progressive-sounding songs. "How Many Licks" by Lil' Kim is sexually suggestive. The song plays on the idea of a Tootsie Pop commercial while talking about oral sex. It was a pretty big deal when it came out, and the music video was definitely controversial.
