Misinterpreted as a traditional love song about a femme fatale by most R&B audiences,〔 "Brown Sugar" is an ode to marijuana use through its use of the personification of a brown-skinned woman.〔(MVRemix Album Reviews: D'Angelo - Brown Sugar ). MVRemix Media. Retrieved on January 29, 2009.〕 This thematic substitution is a conventional lyrical technique in hip hop.〔Jon Caramanica et al. Hoard (2004), p. 210.〕 Music journalist Peter Shapiro wrote of the song's lyrical content, stating "D'Angelo was extolling the pleasures of pot-fuelled solipsism ('Always down for a ménage à trois/But I think I'ma hit it solo/Hope my niggaz don't mind') and intimating that love, or at least love of the herb, leads to insanity ('Brown sugar babe/I gets high off you love/Don't know how to behave')."〔 Writer and academic Todd Boyd compared the song, along with Dr. Dre's ''The Chronic'' (1992) and Styles P's "Good Times" (2002), to Rick James's "Mary Jane" (1978), stating that the song "celebrated his love for gettin' blazed and spawned ... a truly large following."〔Boyd (2007), p. 135.〕
