Man I think y'all are overthinking this because of the cultural divide.
It's just ghetto shxt man. Just so everyone is clear on the whole violent
connotations, the phrase "beat that bxtch w/a bat" is ghetto slang for
"fxcked that chick harder than ever". Ie, "Yo did you tear that pxssy up
last night or what? Maaaan, I beat that bxtch with a BAT!" it's not in
anyway speaking to a violent act. In the same way that some of my more
hood girls will see a dude and be like, "Damm! He looks like he could tear
some pxssy up!" it's a compliment, and I'm sure none of them would want
their privates physically torn. It's ghetto slang and that's why people
love it. It's raw, honest, and without the pretensions and boundaries that
come with making culturally universal music. And it's not always about the
chicks. Check "let me see your check stubb". we all thought that was the
funniest joint 'cause girls had gotten to the point of asking that when
they meet dudes in the club. Thing is, if !
you're not from the hood, you won't even know chicks in a situation that
would make them wanna ask something like that. But I know plenty... Don't
overthink it if you don't have the context. Just enjoy, and if you don't
understand, ask.

Well, it is, isn't it?
No two ways about it - 'beat that bitch with a bat', ironic
or not, is misogynistic.
Doesn't stop me enjoying it, but it does make this bleeding
heart liberal 'uncomfortable'
