1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 "Lady" by Lenny Kravits (sp) is very bad as well...first I thought it was just an awful song for a dumb commercial...then I actually heard it get radio play. It couldn't be any more generic. That's the kind of song that is going to make me ignore his entire catalog now. Not that any of it was above average anyways.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 8, 2004 I also just heard that 1985 song for the first time ever last night at work. Awful, but not as bad as any of the CMT Radio shit I've mentioned in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 "Angels" by Jessica Simpson deserves at least an honourable mention. Most of you probably don't like the original version by Robbie Williams, but at least there was, you know, FEELING in the singing. In her cover, Jessica does what she does best - suck all the soul out of the song and turn it into a diva-ish overemotefest. "Over and Over" by Nelly and Tim McGraw is also awful. Partially because Nelly can't sing, partially because singing "over and over again", er, over and over again gets really annoying. However, credit where credit's due - Nelly has "sang" one song more than Ashlee Simpson on SNL this year. Speaking of over and over, "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz is also kinda annoying, but the video, well, that's the video of the year in my book. As my fiancee's friend put it, "bloody brilliant".

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 You can be black, white, yellow, red, or green and it'll still suck. I'm actually a rap fan, and I go to clubs (yes, the ones those crazy blackies go to). I understand all sides of the argument for and against "STOP FUCKIN WIT ME" and quite frankly, the arguments for it are crushed like a fucking boulder stomping an ant. The beat isn't that good, the lyrics are wretched, and Lil' Jon's scream-chant garbage just sounds horribly stupid in that piece. And this is coming from someone who actually likes half of his stuff.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Motherfuck that nigga. Motherfuck that bitch. I'm not talking about you anymore, I'm recollecting. I remember when Lil Jon first broke on the scene, people were saying he sucked cause he couldn't rap and only said three things. For one, he's not even really a rapper, he's a producer. I mean, Jesus, talk about talking like you know shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Shortly after Ol' Dirty Bastard's death, there was a column in the local alternative weekly about how ODB made hip hop more accessible to the mainstream, and how ODB influenced rappers like Kool Keith and Li'l Jon. I sent the dude an email detailing how everything he said was wrong, but he never responded, nor did my letter get printed in the letter's page of the following week's issue. They did print a letter praising the writer for his "intelligent" insights into the world of rap music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Let's see, Kool Keith was around before ODB, Lil Jon isn't a rapper, and if anything, ODB owes his style to Flavor Flav. Yeah. They probably believed him when he said Wu Tang was for the children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 The writer did call the Flavor Flav influence, so he got that right. He also wrote about how ODB was a tragicomic figure—which I was fine with—but he was attempting, unsuccessfully, to tie it into his theory that ODB's hijincks made rap more mainstream. Wu Tang did well in sales and whatnot early in their career, but by the time Enter the 36 Chambers was released, rap was already dominating MTV. ODB taking a limo to collect his welfare check had a negligible impact on the popular music demographic of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 What Wu Tang did do was get rap away from the G-Funk thing, but that's due more to RZA's production than anything else. It's interesting that rap's broader direction is usually dictated by producers rather than rappers themselves. Dre's G Funk, RZA's minimalism... and now Lil Jon. Better get used to it, friends. He's a revolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah, he's a producer for most of his tracks. He was rapping on "Stop Fuckin Wit Me". He's the only person on the track. And it sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smh810 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 You cant have a thread about the worst songs of the year without mentioning Three Days Grace. What a fucking atrocious band!!! As if "I Hate Everything About You" and "Just Like You" werent bad enough they decide to release "Home" with the most tackiest (sp?) lyrics I have vever heard in my lifetime. Definitely the bottom feeders of the teen angst post-grunge bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 Switchfoot isn't really horrible or anything...they just aren't anything either way. I'm glad someone mentioned 3 Days Grace. Those guys are fucking garbage. I Hate Everything About You is an excruciating song, one that prompts me to flip the station every time. Just Like You isn't quite as bad but it's close. I liked someone's analysis on how rap/country could work, but stuff like Big & Rich does it no favors. It's like they just haphazardly throw a rap midsection into a song for the sake of being different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2004 The "Word Up" re-dux by Korn. Not to mention a really horrible video. "Over and Over" is just miserable. Sounds like Tim McGraw was singing it into a Fisher Price tape recorder and mailed it to the studio. "Stays in Mexico" by Toby Keith is one of those 'huh' songs. It's so bad and stupid that I'm almost positive it was meant to be bad and stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish that I seen Lil Jon on Rap City, and Tigger got him in the booth to bust a freestyle which I've been told that it consist of Lil Jon saying: OK, YEAH.
