* IntercourseWithYou: He's made his fair share of sex songs; "Reverse Cowgirl" is perhaps the most explicit, being named after a sex position and all, while "Can't Believe It" is a more romantic song that combines the sexuality with a surprising level of emotional intimacy (being a SurprisinglyGentleSong for both himself and guest rapper Music/LilWayne.) "Rap Song" is a song about having sex to... well... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin rap songs]].
