Whether the objectification of women as bitches and ’hos offends your sensibilities or you’re a rap fan who isn’t bothered by the occasional "Hey, bitch, wait till you see my dick," there’s general agreement that Ying Yang Twins’ perv-tastic summer jam "Wait" is about as bad as rap misogyny gets. On the cameo-crowded U.S.A., the Twins — D-Roc and Kaine — draw only unsavory results from their guests. Which shouldn’t shock anyone who’s heard their previous three discs — their last hit was a strip-club anthem, 2003’s "Salt Shaker." But U.S.A. is worse. Of the 23 tracks, seven are forgettable skits and 10 have B-list stars like Pitbull and Teedra Moses turning in D-grade performances. Even usually reliable Houston patriarch Bun B contributes a lackluster verse on the prison lament "23 Hr Lockdown." D-Roc and Kaine drop in now and then to deliver gems like "If you don’t like what I’m sayin’, suck my dick, holmes." Not to like what they’re sayin’, of course, would imply they had something to say.
