"Climax (Girl Shit)" was the second single to be released by Slum Village from their album Fantastic, Vol. 2. It was a love-jam featuring verses from the three members of the group and a sung chorus by a female vocalist. Despite the song's title, the sexually themed lyrics, concerning a ménage à trois, are playfully delivered and steer clear of any overly crude language. The song was relatively popular but was severely delayed as a single, and thus failed to fully capitalze on the album's initial buzz.
[edit] Video
The single was released along with a music video which featured cameos from The Roots frontman ?uestlove, Amp Fiddler, and actor Gary Coleman. In the beginning of the video, the three members of the group meet store clerk Coleman, who proceeds to boast that although "I may be half the man, but I'm gonna need twice the ladies". The fellas chuckle at Coleman and halfheartedly dismiss his comments before leaving the store and taking separate routes. Each member then performs their part of the song over cellphones to their as yet unseen partners while making their way across town, during which several musicians (such as Amp Fiddler) make their cameos.
The vocalist singing the chorus, Airasoul (formerly known as Tina Marie of "Timeless", a song from Dwele's independent promo CD, Rize), also makes her appearance in the video, carrying 3 roses out of a store, right before the verse of her real-life brother and Slum Village group member, Baatin. Finally the trio arrive at adjacent bungalows to meet their partners only to discover, one-by-one, that they have extra company, in the form of football player Simeon Rice; rapper Saafir, and "Convenience Store Superpimp" Coleman himself.
