Using work by Collins and Jones & Shorter (both articles),

 how can we think about the lyrics of the song WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion? 

Given the history of Africana/Black sexuality (Collins) and romantic relationships (Jones & Shorter) is this song (and similar works) freeing and liberatory or objectifying and hypersexualizing etc., for Africana/Black women and their sexuality? Or both?

 

What is Collins' point in discussing the legacy of the freak, the two streams of the term bitch, and her logic here in relationship to the objectification of the Africana/ Black female body in popular culture?
