If you’re a regular on my blog then you know I often write about men (like R&B crooner Usher) who didn’t successfully navigate through the Oedipus Complex stage of their childhood psychosexual development (age 4-7).
Freud’s definition of Oedipus Complex is “the childhood desire to sleep with the mother and to kill the father.” “The father” is represented by any male who stands between the boy and his love object (the mother).
This new track by Kanye West could have been written by Usher. According to Miss Info, “Mama’s Boyfriend” is a leftover from Kanye’s critically acclaimed album, My Dark Twisted Fantasy.
“Mama’s Boyfriend” is a classic illustration of a man still struggling with overcoming feelings of sexual desire for his mother.
