Background
edit"Spoiled Milk Titties" was first released on January 5, 2018 on Ephorize via TuneCore.[1] The rapper announced that a video would be released for the song when the music video for her song "Crayons" hit 100,000 views on April 18, 2018, at 12:00PM Central Time.[2][3]
Composition and cultural references
editSonically, "Spoiled Milk Titties" evolves from a looped vocal sample into a Future Hendrix-style guitar solo.[4] The song has vivid details with "over-the-top" sexual lyricism.[5] Jazz Scott from Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that "Lyrically, cupcakKe hasn't sacrificed any of her raw playfulness... and her one-liners are still as pointed as they are hilarious: 'Relax me with massage, park your dick in my garage (Skrrrt!)/Do not touch my booty hairs, man, I'm feeling like Solange (uh-oh!)'".[6]
Music video
editA music video was released for "Spoiled Milk Titties" via YouTube on April 18, 2018.[7] Pitchfork called it a "spur-of-the-moment romantic excursion while she's on her way to the hospital."[8] "The clip begins with a classic set-up: CupcakKe is off to the hospital to check on her breasts, which she explains to her neighbor are potentially spoiled", explains The Fader "before he intervenes with a suggestion to just come inside his extremely clean apartment for an impromptu romance session instead."[9] According to Stereogum, the video starts with a "goofy introduction where CupcakKe is on her way to the hospital for her spoiled milk titties... Then a friendly guy in the neighborhood offers to check her out for free" which leads to "watching CupcakKe grind on the guy."[10] HotNewHipHop calls it a " booty shaking visual" and chronicles that in the beginning of the video, when a guy stops her on the way to the doctor's office, she explains the meaning of "Spoiled Milk Titties": "You know how you leave a cup out for so long, a cup of milk is going to spoil eventually? I've been naked so much I think my titties are, like, spoiled." Then "they start hooking up, CupcakKe declares the guy her new Papi, and then throws down some of her most wildest verses."[11]
Critical reception
editLemonwire writes that the track is "playful and full of overt sexual references. Like any rapper, it's a bit tiring to hear Cupcakke go on about sex, but there is a refreshing aspect to her approach. Cupcakke doesn't mess around with innuendo; she says exactly what she means and she says it graphically."[12] According to The 405, the song has "countless hilariously raunchy punchlines".[13] Highway Queens calls it "grotesquely filthy" and writes that "she comes off sounding like Missy Elliott's more foul-mouthed daughter. There's no point being offended by these lyrics as they are exactly what a teenager who listens to a lot of rap music would write – she's playing up the controversy and relishing smashing through boundaries of taste and decency."[14] It is explicit yet intimate, allowing you access to a realm of life most people keep closely guarded. The Outline states that Cupcakke "effortlessly braids her sex positivity with intimacy; they're two sides of the same, shame-rejecting coin."[15]
