"Chickenhead" is a song by American rapper Project Pat,released on December 19,2000 as the lead single from his second studio album Mista Don't Play:Everythangs Workin (2001). It features American hip hop group Three 6 Mafia and American rapper La Chat.
According to Project Pat,the song was inspired by him teasing a girl,who had slicked back hair with some gel and in a small bun,by poking his face in the back of her head and imitating a chicken. [1] [2] In an interview with Complex ,Juicy J recalled some details of collaborating with Project Pat on the song:
I remember Project Pat came to me and he said man,I got this song called "Chickenheads," I was like,"How it go?" He was like,"Bok bok! Chicken chicken." I'm like,"What??" At first I was like,"What the hell?" You know what I'm saying? "Bok Bok"—what you just say man? He said,"Man,it's gonna be hot,it's gonna work." So I said,"Aite,cool." We recorded the song,me and Paul did the beat,and shit,the record company heard it and was like,man,this song is a SMASH. And the song blew up,man. We had a director,you know,I can't remember who directed that,I think it was Gil Green maybe. But whoever did it did a great job. We usually counted on the director to direct the videos and bring up the concepts and all that. [3]
The song is considered to have led to La Chat gaining national attention due to her verse with Project Pat. [4]
The lyrics of the song serve as a warning to opportunistic women. The background features vocals in the form of clucking sounds. [5]
