- That's too dirty, I don't think we need to sexualize...
I'm just, I don't even know what voice.
- WAP. - (React) WAP.
- Wait, I thought it was pronounced WAP.
- Look at that straight white old man.
He looks so uncomfortable. - That's you in 30 years!
- That's me in 30 years, wow. Thanks, Jenny.
- (React) Are you ready to have a hot girl summer?
- Oh. (laughs) I was born a hot girl in the summer.
- I don't know what that means, but yes.
(both laugh)
- (React) So today, we brought in some of our favorite parents
to react to Megan Thee Stallion.
What do you know about Megan Thee Stallion?
- I know she's hot, and all about empowerment,
female empowerment, and WAP.
- (React) WAP.
- Wait, I thought it was pronounced WAP.
- ♪ Give me everything you got ♪ ♪ For this wet and gushy ♪
- They're at like, Willy Wonka's sex palace of candy?
- Oh, this is the edited version. (laughs) Got it.
Which, I think the edited version is actually worse.
Gushy, what a gross word.
- It's like a mix between The Shining and a David Lynch film, I think.
- Ooh, okay, I love this set though.
It's so visually stunning.
- ♪ Park that big Mack truck ♪ - ♪ Right in this little garage ♪
- See the snakes? - I don't like the snakes.
The snakes are creepy, but I mean, it's fine.
- The snakes represent the sin, she loves that.
- I feel like the combination of Cardi and Megan is like,
it's so good.
I love how their rap styles are so different too.
- Yes, she's got such a good rap persona too,
just like, she's a commanding presence,
like, Cardi's awesome, and her lyrics are great,
but Megan just has this presence that I really like.
- 100%.
- Doesn't a Kardashian pop out at some point?
- Yeah, she does, who cares.
Ooh, that's the cry baby. See.
(both laugh)
It's like you're on the floor, doing that, you know?
- Oh, like a baby?
- Like you're crying, like wah!
- To be perfectly honest with you, I don't particularly like the song.
- (React) Okay. - For me.
But what I love about this is it's her song
that she is owning,
and she's not worried about what I think.
- How do you go higher than WAP?
- I give it an A,
I feel like that was just such a moment in pop culture,
that song still hits every time.
Two incredible black artists doing their thing, rapping, dancing.
I love it, A.
- I can't just not give WAP an A.
I literally learned the dance with my sister-in-law.
- We're gonna need to see it.
- There's probably a video of that somewhere
lurking on the internet that I'm unaware of.
- I'm grading this an A, because I think my baby
would be fascinated by it. Just 'cause of the colors.
- I'm giving this a B. Solid B this time.
- (React) Mm, okay.
- I give her an A, because it's very pleasant to watch.
- A goes across the board, because this is her music,
this is her body. - Exactly.
- This is her career, this is her life.
- (React) Mmm, well said.
- How am I supposed to give it something other than A?
Always do that.
(Doug laughs)
- Is this like a Molly Maid advertisement, or...
- 1-800-CLEAN-HOUSES. - Yes.
- Now you're hearing the lyrics. - Now I hear the lyrics.
(Alex laughs) - ♪ Let it drip down my chest ♪
- She looks really different here.
This feels like an older video.
- Yeah, this is definitely early Thee Stallion here.
- It definitely looks a lot lower production value, you know?
- The production, we can tell that's not the way it is right now.
But her message is right there.
- Yeah, 'cause if this is like an independent,
like, it seemed like it was like an independent video.
She's like I gotta pull it back now.
- Oh, forget it, an A! (laughs) - No no, so I'm gonna give her a B-.
- I'm gonna give it a D.
- I think she was trying too card.
- Hmm. - (React) Mm.
- I think she was trying too hard with this one.
- (React) A?
- Of course! - Yes, of course.
Yeah, even though it was the first one, it's an A.
- (React) There you go. - For the first job is wonderful.
- Doing her thing, man.
- (React) You gotta start from somewhere, right?

- You see the clapping in the background, the walls?
- Oh yeah, the big naked butts.
What is happening?
- Oh, that piece of fabric draped around her butt
is magic, I can't believe the way it moves!
- The Dua Lipa vocals, with like, the Megan rap,
it's such a good juxtaposition,
but honestly, all I could look at was her butt.
- Yeah. - Lots of butts.
- Well, it looks like the Hell, to me.
- When you enter this forest of sin and iniquity,
or just like sexual hedonism,
you get changed forever.
- (React) Ooh. - And you can never be the same.
- I think you might be giving it too much credit.
(Alex laughs)
- Rising above all the haters and the noise,
Megan Thee Stallion, just crushing the competition.
(clicks tongue) I love her, yep.
- Still in the A category, so don't come for me,
but A-. - (laughs) Don't come for me.
- I will give it an A.
I didn't see anything that I could criticize.
- I should just take B, C, D, and F off,
because I will give her an A for everything.

(Jayse laughs)
- She's a really talented dancer.
- She tells the same thing in different ways.
- Yeah, that's true, right?
- She doesn't change too much, her style.
- If I had a butt like that,
that's how I would walk everywhere I go.
- Absolutely. - Just shaking. (laughs)
- Look, it's all these powerful women.
- Ooh.
- ♪ Ah ah ♪
- Seeing her wear those outfits and be so confident
makes me feel like I should be more confident.
- Like, I'll watch it one time, and I'll be like you go girl!
And I'll watch it another time, going go, girl.
- Body-ody-ody-ody, I think I'm gonna give it a B.
- B is for body.
- For me, it almost like, evokes some memories
of like Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation, a little bit,
and then Madonna's Let's Talk About Sex.
It's like those two videos kinda came together for me.
Again, I've been raised by a television.
- I'm gonna give it a B+.
- I'm gonna give A, but I'm telling you,
it was the same message, just in a different way.
A, A, A.
- (React) And Sharon? - Oh, A, man!
- I'm gonna give this one, just because I'm grading harshly.
- (React) Yeah, you should.
- A C. - (React) Okay.
- I'm gonna grade it harsher than that.
♪ (tense orchestral sting) ♪ (Alex gasps)
The song gets an F from me. - (gasps) Oh my goodness!
- Because it wasn't colorful at all, my baby would not like it.
It would not help him calm down.
Yeah, for that reason, I give it an F.
- (announcer) Megan Pete. (crowd cheers)
- Wow.
- (reporter) Megan Thee Stallion is officially a college graduate.
- Yes.
- (reporter) The Grammy Award winning rapper...
- This is so cute!
- (reporter) Whose real name is Megan Pete...
- Aw, good for her!
- (Jenny) Aw. - She's fabulous.
- I love the way they narrate. Just like everyone else. (laughs)
- Absolutely, just a regular person at...
- Walking. - Walking.
- Not shaking her booty. - Saying hi to everybody.
Pausing for photos,
that's what you normally do during graduation, I get it.
- Look at her.
- 'Cause it's hard to go back to school
after you've started your career, to take a break,
or do it while you're working. That's tough.
- That's true.
- (reporter) A scholarship called Thee Megan Fund.
- I love that! - Yeah, that's wonderful.
- So much!
- (reporter) Tax deductible donations to this page.
- I love it.
- Imagine graduating with Megan Thee Stallion.
- Oh my God. - No one cares about you.
Like, period.
They're only here for Megan, your parents don't care about you.
- No, life achieved. - They're here for Megan.
- (React) It's true. - That's so cute.
- How cool that she's like giving back to the community,
she's helping other people get access to education.
- A. - A for me too.
- A++++. - (React) Yeah.
- Oh. - I mean, A.
Solid A, not plus, not minus, A. - Oh, I mean, I think A+,
just to, you know, say something Jenny didn't.

- I'm going A, man. - (React) A?
- Yeah, this is A+. - You know.

I don't think I ever could've done that knee.
- I love this guy, too.
- This guy is terrified of her ass.
(Alex laughs)
- Look at that straight, white, old man, he looks so uncomfortable.
- That's you in 30 years!
- That's me in 30 years, wow. Thanks, Jenny.
- (laughs) No, no, no, no, no!
- Definitely, she's shaking the system.
- I mean, like I said, I think women in general
are just tired of saying how we're supposed to act,
when we're supposed to act,
you should talk up, you should be quiet,
you should wear this, you shouldn't wear that.
I mean, you know, when was the last time
any of us saw an article that said
men over 40 shouldn't wear.
- (React) So this came out one year ago,
and it was 56 million views.
- (both) That's it? - Oh.
- Jinx, owe me a Coke.
- It's like soft porn for free. (laughs)
- This is an A from me, 'cause it's my favorite.
- (React) (gasps) It's your favorite? - I liked this one.
- I like the message, I love the song,
and I think the video's hilarious and awesome.
- (React) Love it, Doug?
- I'm gonna give this one a B+. - (React) That's high.
- 'Cause I don't think it was as good as WAP.
- (React) Mm.
- Sticking with an A. - (React) Sticking with an A?
- Always! - Oh yeah, I have to rate, yes!
- (React) Yes!
- I'm gonna give her A for the video,
and B for the guy, because the guy was mistaking.
(both laugh)
- (Jenny) Ooh. - Okay.
Does she have to tame it down for the Grammys, I wonder?
- No, clearly not.
- Very sparkly.
- It's giving me Marilyn vibes.
- I feel like our babies would love the sparkling.
- Oh yes, big on the sparkly.

- This song just gives me the beginning of the pandemic.
Everybody's doing the song with the...
- Yes, ah!
- Clearly, I'm not a dancer. (laughs)

I love this song.
- She's cool, I didn't know anything about her,
but she's definitely cool.
- Ah.
- Savage. - ♪ Ah ♪
- Classy. - Bougie, ratchet.
- You know, it's impressive.
The costumer made it so that her costume can move with the shaking.
Normally a sequined outfit would be very stiff.
- Oh my gosh. It's just so buoyant.
- That's real too, you know, that's... - It looks real.
- Do you think it's an implant? Do you think it's real?
- I think it's real. - I think it's real!
I think she has the... - It fits with her body.
- Proportions for it to be real. - And it's too malleable to be fake.
- I, yeah. - (React) I mean...
- This is great, this is great.
- I thought it was a classy performance, actually.
- I thought so. - Yeah, I'd show it to my baby now.
He's be obsessed with the sparkle.
- I think dancing is an innate, human thing, you know?
And we should all dance every now and then,
just to like get the endorphins out,
and if that includes shaking your butt, great.
- A! - A for her.
- Okay, I'm gonna give it a C, because I think Megan Thee
has set the bar higher.
- I'm gonna give it a B-.
I think the reason I didn't give it a higher score,
is I feel like she didn't sing it the way that I'm used to hearing it?
Is that, am I crazy? - Hmm.
- Did it feel slow?
- B+. - (React) B+, okay.
- Yeah, I'm giving the same grade, B+.
- I thought it was classy. - Bougie, ratchet.
Ratchet, isn't classy in part of it?
- Wait, does it make me cool if I don't care what these words mean?
- (React) Yeah. - Yeah.
- Don't Steve Harvey it. (laughs)
- (Billy) Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, featuring Beyonce.
- She like doesn't believe it. She's like what?
(Doug laughs)
(gasps) Oh, look at B!
- That's the emotion of hard work.
- But she almost looks like she doesn't believe it.
- Did she not think she was gonna win?
- (Megan) First of all...
- I love the way that she presents herself to the public.
She's very open and honest about like,
her struggles with anxiety, for example,
and she's just all about lifting people up, it seems like.
Especially woman.
- (Megan) 'Cause I'm not gonna forget to thank nobody,
and now Beyonce came up here. - I love her dress though.
That really high slit. Makes you know, it's beautiful.
- That's great.
I love seeing that. - That's a reason for her connection.
She's so humble, she's so normal,
even though she's a star. - (React) Yes!
- You just let her express herself,
you feel like she's one of your best friends.
- (Sharon) Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
- A.
- This gets an A from me too.
- I love seeing someone make their dreams come true,
and just living in that moment, it's amazing to watch.
- Don't let you copy me.
- I'm gonna give it a B. - (React) Okay.
- I think it's just, I'm not that into speeches, truthfully.
I think it was very sweet, but did I hear her thank her mom?
- Well, I gave A to all the moments that I saw here today,
so the average is A. - Yeah!
- Yeah. - (React) Staying with A, I love it.
- Staying with A.
- Yeah, there was a very nice. - Is anybody grading other than A?
- (React) Yes. - I'm sure there are, huh?
Yeah, like, I bet we got someone, that's just too dirty!

I think it would be really hard to put on, though.
- Yeah.
- Have to put each loop on.
- You think they put it on, and it was like one piece,
and then they cut around her? (Alex laughs)
- Okay, right? Here we go.
This is like what the Grammys could have been.
- This is kinda giving me like '60s vibes, you know,
with the page boy haircuts, and the kind of silhouette,
artsy thing that they're doing.
- I like the directing.
- It's cool, yeah, the camera movement is really interesting.
- I know, did they use a drone or something?
- That was song where she retreated,
and was like ugh, okay, and shined up her armor,
and this was the song she wrote as she was shining it.
- But I'm gonna give it an A -.
- Yeah, I agree, I'm gonna give it a B.
It wasn't, though it wasn't colorful, I think my baby would've liked it,
when he was like between the ages of like,
one week and eight weeks. - High contrast.
- When he could only see colors. - Yep.

- Okay, it looks like they filmed this in Los Angeles.
- Yeah, you know,
I'm not feeling this one as much, honestly.
- You know when you're getting Nicki and Megan on the same track,
it's gonna be a hot girl summer.
- And then me just thinking about her friendship
with Cardi and Nicki.
- I always like it, 'cause like, Hunter laughs at me,
'cause I'm in the car, and when we get to the N word,
I'm all blah blah blah, I just blah blah,

- I'm giving it an F. - Woah, that's harsh.
- 'Cause it makes me tired.
- I'm gonna give it an A, because I really like Nicki,
and the collab with Nicki is incredible,
although again, I am thinking about Cardi and Nicki.
- I'm gonna give it a B for just bodacious,
bad ass, hot girl summer. (laughs)
- For bad. - For bad!

- Bad ass.
- Jenny, you are absolutely crushing it.
- I'm a big fan of Megan Thee Stallion now.
I don't know what she's singing about.
(Alex laughs)
But she seems like a real sweetheart in real life.
- I would tell my daughters to watch it,
and think about it,
because I think she's strong when she wants to deliver a message,
and she does in a very powerful way,
and she keeps herself interesting all the time.
That's one of the best talent that she has.
- I think that there is this unrealistic expectation
of beauty in our society,
and this just like super twiggy figure,
she represents someone that's real,
and like you said earlier, she has healthy cellulite,
and like, that's like something that I think should be celebrated.
- Agree. - And less of like,
I have to adhere to this one standard of beauty,
like I'm beautiful the way I am.
- I'm all for hot girl summer.
If girls wanna be hot in the summer, sure, fine.
- You know, hot girl summer can be for guys too.
- Hot girl summers for guys, yeah.
- Are you gonna have a hot girl summer this year?
- Yep.
I am gonna have a hot girl summer.
- Same.
