...Shawty Get Loose” looks Spaceballs-cheap: it’s gaudy and completely ridiculous. Lil Mama starts things off dancing in an insanely well-lit corridor. She raps with a subtle melodic lilt over a boomingly percussive beat, a combination reminiscent of Gwen Stefani??s 2004 “Hollaback Girl.” In fact, New York’s own Lil Mama has a lot in common (particularly lyrically) with Orange County’s Stefani.

Indeed, after mimicking moves similar to the Nutcracker’s march steps, the brunette dancers segued into a very modern and suggestive kick-step routine...
