Hip Hop Star
Beyonce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slowly as Sir Luscious step up like a Q-Dawg
A-town's up, deuces down it's the new call
And you can dial 1-888-cut-something
I'm your kinky operator when you wanna something
Ain't no dial tones just milestones, of pleasure to reach
To each his own, I'm a stone cold Aquarian freak
Humanitarian, barbarian but under the sheets
It's the player from the point and your girl from the D

Are you infatuated with me?
I could end your curiosity?
If you don't think I'm too rude
Here's your chance to make your move
I sit and wait for nobody
People say that my style is so crazy
I think you like it baby
Do you want to get nasty?
I dare you to undress me

Baby, let me know if you wanna roll with Hip Hop
Bamboos on, pants down low I'm a rock star
Baby let me know if you wanna ride with a Hip Hop star
I'm a rock star

Do I blow you away?
Do I stimulate your mind?
Would you taste my love if I give you time?
I have none to waste with you
I guess you can say
My style is so crazy
I think you like it baby
Do you want to get nasty?
I dare you to undress me

Baby, let me know if you wanna roll with Hip Hop
Bamboos on, pants down low I'm a rock star
Baby let me know if you wanna ride with a Hip Hop star
I'm a rock star

Undress me, undress me, you can come
Come baby, undress me

Take off that tank top and pull off them drawers
The girls all pause, got them drippin' down they sugar walls
Aw no! getting to the nappy root
Knocking boots in stilettos, damn I keep it ghetto!
A cool type of fellow, mellow got the gold medal
Never settle for less my rose petal
Tooey, tooey, tooey, tooey! Spit game!
Venom to get it up in 'em, let me "p" pop that thang
First check her brain to see if she's sane
Deranged or strange or crazy as hell
You never can tell these days
Everybody got a little Rick James in they veins man!

The way I feel ooh girl I know it's bout to be
Me all over you and damn girl you all over me

Baby, let me know if you wanna roll with Hip Hop
Bamboos on, pants down low I'm a rock star




Baby let me know if you wanna ride with a Hip Hop star
I'm a rock star

Overall Meaning

In the song "Hip Hop Star," Beyoncé collaborates with rapper Big Boi to create a track that, on the surface, seems like a seductive come-on. The song's opening lines set the mood: "Slowly as Sir Luscious step up like a Q-Dawg/A-town's up, deuces down, it's the new call." This is a southern rap reference, and it's easy to see why. Beyoncé was born in Houston and Big Boi is from Atlanta, so the two artists come by their southern drawls honestly.


As the song progresses, Beyoncé takes on the persona of a "kinky operator," urging a prospective lover to "undress me." But throughout the song, Beyoncé is quickly flipping the script, inverting traditional male/female roles to assert her own dominance over her sexual encounter. She notes her "stone cold Aquarian freak" qualities and asserts that her "style is so crazy" - but then flips it by daring her lover to "undress me" and prove that they're up to the challenge.


Overall, Hip Hop Star is really just a display of music's ability to create a mood and establish a character. With just a few lines of lyrics, Beyoncé and Big Boi are able to transport the listener to a world of sexual possibility, where the usual rules don't apply and anything can happen.
