Overall Meaning

The lyrical content in Shaggy and Rayvon’s song “Big Up” consists mostly of the duo exalting the bodies of women. The title “Big Up” itself can be interpreted as an idiom that means offering praise or recognition to someone. The song is a tribute to women who are often shamed and ridiculed by beauty standards. The artists celebrate women of different sizes and shapes as they sing, “gal, you’re fat and you’re buff, expensive and rough.” The lyrics condemn men who criticize women's bodies and emphasize that beauty is subjective, using the line “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”


Throughout the song, the artists encourage women to embrace their attributes and ignore negative criticisms. They make allusions to popular culture figures such as Catwoman and King Kong to emphasize that various body types have been celebrated and that different people have different preferences. However, it's fair to say that the objectification of women is a crucial factor in the presentation context of the song. While there are numerous instances of songs glorifying women's bodies, some feminists have pointed out that songs like “Big Up” perpetuate harmful beauty standards that can cause insecurity, especially for young women.
