"Smack My Bitch Up" by The Prodigy is a highly controversial song that has caused outrage and debate since its release in 1997. The lyrics are highly suggestive and have been criticized for promoting violence and misogyny. However, the song is widely regarded as a classic and has been praised for its innovative use of sampling and its intense energy.
At first glance, the lyrics of "Smack My Bitch Up" seem to promote violence against women, with lines such as "Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up." However, it can be argued that the song is not literal in its meaning but rather a metaphor for the intense, aggressive energy that is conveyed through the music. The repetitive lyrics and pounding beat create a sense of chaos and frenzy, which is further heightened by the highly controversial video that accompanied the song.
The video for "Smack My Bitch Up" caused just as much controversy as the song itself. It was highly graphic and featured scenes of drug use, violence, and sexual activity. The depiction of a woman being beaten and sexually assaulted caused an uproar when the video was released, and it was banned from several TV channels. However, it has since been the subject of much analysis and interpretation, with many arguing that the video is a commentary on the excesses and dangers of party culture.

My parents were huge fans of prodigy and didn’t feel like skipping this song so they told me the lyrics were “snap my picture” and I fucking believed them until I recently revisited this album
