Silkk rose to fame in the mid-to-late 1990s, releasing records through Master P's label, No Limit Records. His self-titled debut, The Shocker, was released in 1996. Silkk was featured on Master P's 1998 hit, "Make 'Em Say Uhhh!" and had a minor rap hit with his own single that same year, "It Ain't My Fault," featuring label-mate Mystikal. Silkk also performed with R&B singer Mya on the second single released from her self-titled debut album, "Movin' On." In 1999, Mya and Silkk collaborated on the lead single from his album "Made Man." The track, titled "Somebody Like Me," went on to become one of the year's top-selling singles on the Billboard charts. Since then, Silkk has released two additional solo albums: "My World, My Way" in 2001 and "Based On A True Story" in 2004. Neither release generated the same success he enjoyed in the late 1990s. Silkk was also featured on World Wrestling Entertainment's Wreckless Intent album, which was released on May 23, 2006. The song he performed on the album, I'm Comin', has since been used as the theme song for SmackDown! wrestler M.V.P. Silkk also performed former SmackDown! wrestler Orlando Jordan's theme song, Do It Big.

Silkk The Shocker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New Orleans hoes, Baton Rouge hoes
Hoes, hoes, ain't nothin but hoes
Oakland hoes, Frisco hoes
Hoes, hoes, ain't nothin but hoes
Chi-Town hoes, Mississippi hoes
Hoes, hoes, ain't nothin but hoes
Carolina hoes, Tennessee hoes
[Silkk the Shocker]
Another day, another show
Another state, another hoe
My fault, my homie, your girlfriend is walking
Man, uh, she should of been at stage up at my show
Man, yo' girl's a hoe, man
You need to get with the program
On a slow jam I be like knockin boots
But, um, raise up the skirt an I be kockin who?
Maybe it's your girlfriend, I can't really tell they all look the same
It be hoes comin in different, shapes, an sizes, what's her name?
I don't know, but um, maybe it's Brenda
It could of been Rochel, my homie told me that he hit her
Now a hoe comes a dime-a-dozen
It could be yo' baby mama, or it could be yo' baby mama's cousin
But it's just like I'm tryin to stay Tru
'cause a hoe is hoe an it might be yo' boo (True!)
Hoe, hoe, hoe, hoe, hoe, hoe, hoe, hoe
Chorus
[Silkk the Shocker]
Once a hoe, always a hoe
All of a sudden she's a virgin, hell no
Fa sho I comes to town, on Greyhound, never that
First class all the way so I'm lookin for something to tap
Yo' girl friend is the closest I see, man it ain't coincidence
But um, I gots to like represent, put it down for my dead presidents
I be a hustler for life, I got yo' baby mama at the crib
I don't know wassup but I gots to give
What she wants she wants it from the back
She gon' hollar my name, not yo' name (Oh Silkk!)
It's all the same as yo' game
I plays her for whatever though (What about my ride?)
Never though (Please?), never hoe
See the relationships I'm in I only deal wit like one
I likes to fucks an get up an plus they mad keep it much tighter
I mess their hair up, he gets they hair fixed
I drive the wheels, he pays the bills
'cause all hoes suck dick (You ain't talkin to me), yeah

'cause all girls ain't bitches but all bitches is hoes grown
I don't know you 'cause you got cha clothes on
Chorus
[Silkk--Talking]

You's a hoe, so, check ya self
The lyrics to Silkk The Shocker’s “Ain’t Nothing” are controversial and misogynistic. The chorus focuses on women, labeling them as hoes and grouping them by their geographic location. Silkk goes on to lyrically objectify women, insulting their intelligence and reducing them to sexual objects. He implies that all women are the same, and they can be slept with and discarded like trash. Silkk brags about his sexual exploits with women he perceives as promiscuous, suggesting that all women are hoes simply because he says so.
The song’s message is derogatory and sexist towards women. It perpetuates the harmful idea that women are objects and should be treated as such. The lyrics are immature, offensive, and degrading. The negative impact of this type of music on society cannot be overstated. It promotes negative stereotypes and can incite hatred and violence against women.

Great album by the No Limit camp...
@LaCheleWallace
This was my album in Middle School. Now that I look back, I understand why this album was hard to find. It was independent. The stores only carried a limited supply. I remember the shrink wrap being all tattered on this cd. The other cd's that came from the majors all had perfect shrink wrap. Just a lil' observations. But anyway, this ended up being one of my favorite album cuts. You cain't lose w/ g-funk flavors & vibes.
