Getting Dome

In the wake of the sullenly passive-aggressive “Suck It Or Not,” the listener came away with the sense that Cam wasn’t desperate, but, rather, a narcissistic cad, that if the answer was ultimately “not,” if the subject to whom the song was addressed was not willing to put out, Cam would casually consult his Rolodex on his way to ushering his fuming date to the bus stop.

On “Touch It,” though —where Pusha T and Kanye West find themselves similarly primed and lacking the means for a hand-free launch—the protagonists’ desperation is deeply embarrassing for performers and audience alike. Deeply embarrassing in different, equally awkward ways that are unbecoming of big-time ballers or shot-callers.
