The lyrics to "Smack My Bitch Up" by Prodigy Feat White Vox are controversial and have sparked controversial discussions about misogyny and violence against women. The chorus "Smack my bitch up, change my pitch up" appears to refer to a person who wants their voice transformed and altered before they commit an act of aggression against someone who may be seen as powerless, specifically a woman. The use of the word "bitch" adds to the controversy as it is often used as a derogatory term for women.
However, the song's meaning is not entirely clear. Some believe it is about the experience of taking drugs and the resulting loss of control, with the lyrics representing a blur of distorted memories and fragmented moments. The song's accompanying video, which features a wild night out for a protagonist whose gender is not specified until the end, has also been widely discussed as it ends with the singer realizing that they have been the perpetrator of various violent acts.
Regardless of the song's intended meaning, the lyrics have been heavily criticized for their violent language and depictions of aggression towards women. The controversy surrounding "Smack My Bitch Up" highlights ongoing issues with misogyny and the objectification of women in music.

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
