After beginning the song questioning morality and Christianity, Chance puts out a friendly warning: if you’re offended because of the things he just said, he doesn’t want to hear it, keep it to yourself.

“For those of you who hated,” Missy taunted at the beginning of “Lick Shots”, “you only made us more creative.” By that standard, the song that followed it on Miss E… So Addictive must’ve meant that her and Timbaland were the most-loathed artists of 2001. Eight years after it hit the top ten of Billboard’s Hot 100, “Get Ur Freak On” still sounds like an audaciously leftfield stroke of genius, a song that succeeded wildly in its goal to push futurism, global style, and flat-out hyper-manic absurdity to equally lofty heights. Timbaland’s flair for the accessibly exotic reached its peak here with his bhangra-meets-jungle beat and 50s B-movie sci-fi synths, replacing the stagger-step trap breaks of drum'n'bass with a burbling tabla and subsequently creating a uniquely slippery dance track that bumps hard without a single kick drum.
-Pitchfork, ranking it the 7th best track of 2000’s decade.

This is a dark joke about a disastrous failed attempt to rescue American hostages held in Iran that took place in 1980. Eight soldiers were killed during the aborted attempt when a helicopter and a cargo plane collided.
This disaster shook the confidence of many U.S. citizens in their country’s military superiority. Anderson described it as a time of “techno-humiliation”.
