The Rising Compass

Talk Dirty

Jason DeRulo ft. 2 Chainz

First surfaced on Billboard Year-End Hot 100

What is this song about?

Sex as a collection sport across countries, women reduced to interchangeable bodies, ranked by parts, filed under a body part, and bragged about like owned livestock, with gun and jet flex on top.

What Might This Song Do to the Listener?

A man tours the world treating every woman he meets as the same interchangeable body, language and conversation beside the point as long as she is willing. A second voice takes it further, ranking women by their parts, filing one in his phone under a body part, and bragging about owning her like livestock; he tosses in guns and jets to round out the flex. Nobody here is a person. They are stops on a route.

Taking this in, you absorb a frame where attraction has nothing to do with knowing someone and a woman's worth is her body and her availability. It makes treating people as conquests sound like success and confuses being widely wanted with being worth wanting. It flatters anyone keeping score of bodies, and it has nothing to say to a person who wants to be known.

What Might This Song Do to a Society?

Run by millions, this installs a template where sex is a collection sport and other people are inventory. People begin to aim desire at body parts rather than persons, and to measure status by how many they can rack up and discard. Knowing someone becomes optional, even a waste of time, next to access to their body.

A population running it gets blunter about appetite and worse at intimacy, since the script never required learning who anyone is. Women absorb the lesson that being chosen means being reduced, and men absorb that conquest is a scoreboard. Tenderness reads as weakness, and the plain skill of treating a partner as a whole person quietly goes unpracticed.

Audience Vibe

The compass reads the lyrics. The Audience Vibe reads the people — the general place the audience thinks the compass should be pointing for this song, not a raw tally of votes. Two needles, one song; the gap between them is the data.

Do you think it should stay where it is, or be pushed further in one direction?

One vote per person per song per year. No single vote can move the needle far — it takes a crowd.

How the Audience Vibe is calculated

The needle is the compass score nudged by the crowd — never a raw tally. Every "push higher," "push lower," and "agree" vote is recombined into one position each time someone votes:

  • Direction comes from the split. Only the gap between higher and lower votes moves the needle. "Agree" votes pull it back toward the compass score.
  • It takes a crowd. Early votes move it gently — a handful shifts it only a point or two. The more lopsided the crowd, the further it goes.
  • It's capped. The audience can pull a song at most 15 points off the compass score, either direction. No pile-on can push it past that.

So a single "push lower" on a song with few votes moves the needle a little (often a point or two), not all the way down — and it can never run away.
