"Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings" is a single from LL Cool J's fifth album, 14 Shots to the Dome. It was released on June 1, 1993, along with "Back Seat (of My Jeep)". The original version was produced by Marley Marl; however the more popular remix was produced by Easy Mo Bee. The song reached #2 on the Hot Rap Songs and #24 on the Hot R&B Songs charts.[1]
Song background
Thirty different hip-hop artists are mentioned in the song's lyrics: I'll take 30 electric chairs, and put 'em in a classroom, 30 MCs, and set 'em free from their doom. The title of the song came to the artist at random during a marijuana-influenced phone conversation, but was confirmed decades later on Twitter by the artist to be a reference to prolapse, as well as the moment of a man tossing woman onto a bed in the middle of sexual climax.[2][3] When asked by NORE and DJ EFN in an interview, he originally stated:
I had smelled some weed and I didn’t inhale, you know? After I smelled the weed I laid on this couch and I was talking to some girl [on the phone]. I said ‘yeah yeah’ and she was like ‘what are you talking about?’ I said ‘I don’t know, I’m thinking about pink cookies in a plastic bag getting crushed by buildings right now.’ She was like ‘What...? What...?’ And when she said 'What?', I said ‘Oh sh*t that’s a song, I’ll call you right back!' Yo Marley! Let's get it!
Later, LL Cool J shared on Twitter:[4]
“Pink Cookies in a plastic bag” is when you literally turn the [PEACH] inside out. (looks like pink cookies lol) Getting “crushed by buildings” is standing/carrying your (sex) partner then tossing them on the bed at the HEIGHT of the “O”
The music video (directed by Brett Ratner) for the song was made in May 1993. However, it uses the remix instead of the original version.
