Rapper Shira K's "Pound On My Muffin" is an insult to hip-hop
By Jeff MillsJanuary 6th, 2012, 5:00 pmComments (12)Shira K (Krasnow), an up-and-coming (or, perhaps, flatlining) rapper from Pittsburgh, has unabashedly set back hip-hip by several years or so, with her semi-viral YouTube video for "Pound On My Muffin." Kreayshawn has nothing to worry about, as Krasnow, looking like a hard-bitten Lea Michele trying to be Nicki Minaj, unleashes her booty-shakin' vengeance on one who has wronged her.
The video features "down-ass bitch" Shira striding into Pittsburgh's gluten-free Gluuteny Bakery, and selling a cupcake to a clerk for a stack of cash, for some reason. Then it's on, as the rapper cruises around town with her homegirls in a red convertible, spitting lines like, "Back and forth, just like monkey in the middle/ Tease him right there while I'm blazing on his fiddle/ If you wanna fuck with me, you gotta solve the riddle/ I'm a down-ass bitch and I play ya just a little."
The jam also features a turn from Asco (don't ask-o), kicking his flow at a table where sweets stand in for narcotics. (This is the most dessert-friendly hip-hop video you'll ever see.) There are no muffins to be seen, but plenty of cupcakes. Are you hinting at some kind of metaphor, Shira?
Shira, who probably would have been turned out by Rick James were he still alive, recently tweeted, in a riff on "You're So Vain": "bet u thnk this song is about u, dont u? dont u, dont u? it's about SOME1, but it it [sic] ain't u. so #RELAX" Someone out there got played.

What!? How does anyone not get the tongue in cheek hilarity of this video? I LIKED IT!
Hip hop is an insult to humanity.
That's Racist! Das Racist!
Maybe it's SUPPOSED to be an insult to Hip-Hop. Which sucks, by the way.
Are the lyrics anything like my hit song Muffin Top, 'cuz I will SUE!
Those are cupcakes! This is a travesty!
If you dont get that this song is a joke an satire then your a idiot. If you actually consider this an insult to hip hop, then you and hip hop need to relax.

Those poor Cakespy illustrations do not deserve to be associated with this trash.
Hip Hop music is great. Artists like De La Soul, Common, Lowkey, Tribe Called Quest, KRS-One...they've made some great music. You guys are confusing hip hop with rap.
You're all probably old racist people so I'll put it like this. Rap is to Hip Hop as Death Metal is to Classic Rock. Still not following? Shira is rapping and she's terrible at it.
This is NOT a satire. I'm from Pittsburgh. It's a small city. Know ppl that know Shira, she's serious.
This girl needs drop kicked.
this is better than anything souja boy has ever made
Best thing since "Cherry Pie"
Now you say something
