"P-Poppin'" is the first single from Ludacris's fourth album Chicken-n-Beer. It features Shawnna and Lil Fate. The song samples "Danger (Been So Long)" by Mystikal, and is focused around what goes on in a high class strip club and a form of dance that can be done with or without clothes.

Controversy

The lyrics to the song are very explicit. This is one of the songs including Nelly's song Tip Drill that was being attacked for influencing younger audiences to become more involved in sexual actions and becoming sexually active.[1] Throughout the song the chorus says:Head down Pussy Pussy Poppin'.[2] The explicit version of the music video was not shown on MTV or BET because it was so erotic, and there were several scenes of naked women. The word Pussy Poppin' was replaced with Booty Poppin' to make the lyrics less explicit. Some of the women held very sexual poses exposing their vaginal area and Ludacris is seen smacking their backside.[3] The Uncut version BET and MTV showed only allowed the word pussy poppin to be said but the women were blurred; however, the video was still more explicit than the Tip Drill video. The song received limited airplay due to its lyrics.[1]
