I have a love/hate relationship with rap music. It's sort of like a guilty pleasure for me...I love to listen to it even though I know it's ridiculous. And it seems to be getting more and more ridiculous the older I get. And I can't decide if it's because I'm getting older or if it's because the music is getting worse. It's GOTTA BE THE MUSIC, RIGHT??
I don't generally listen to rap music in the car and stuff. But every now and again, just to keep up with the youngsters these days, I flip the radio over to my local R&B/Hip Hop station. (Note to self: write a blog entry about what this particular radio station considers R&B or Hip Hop or rap or just nonsense.) On Friday I was feeling a little loosey goosey (get it out of the gutter...) so I flipped over to the rap station. In ONE hour I heard the most nonsense that I've EVER heard on the radio...EVER. It is beyond me why some songs get played on the radio. I heard one song that had more words bleeped out than it had not bleeped out (bleeped in? what is the opposite of bleeped out?). I heard something like, "And (bleep) (bleep) rollin' (bleep) havin' a party (bleep) in (bleep)..." and so on and so forth. Amazing. (Note to self: write a blog entry about when a song is just too "explicit" to play on the radio and how may bleeps should be allowed before the song needs to have a radio edit version, i.e. In Da Club by 50 Cent.)
So, today's Five for Friday stems from rap music. Five for Friday: ridiculous rap lyrics I heard in the time span of ONE hour (and this really could be a 50 for Friday...seriously):
THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ATTACHED ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK. PLEASE DON'T WATCH THEM WHILE ON THE CLOCK. THE LYRICS ARE EXPLICIT.
- Lil Wayne ft. Gucci Mane - We Be Steady Mobbin.' "big house, long hallways/got 10 bathrooms I can sh*t all day." How effin' ridiculous is that? I'm not sure I need to say anything else.
- Lil Wayne ft. A MILLION EFFING PEOPLE - Bed Rock. "I Love Ya Sushi Rolls, Hotter Than Wasabi, I Race For Your Love, Shake And Bake Ricky Bobby." I mean, I love Talladega Nights, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't good enough to make it into a song. Unless you're Lil' Wayne, I guess.
- Birdman ft. Drake and, yep...you guessed it, Lil Wayne - Money to Blow. "Yes i make mistakes that i don’t ever make excuses for/Leaving girls that love me and Constantly seducing hoes/I’m losing my thoughts i say damn/Where my roof go?/Top slipped off like Janet at the super bowl." Oh dear. Constantly seducing hoes? A "Janet at the superbowl/wardrobe malfunction" reference? What is this world coming to?
- Trey Songz ft. Fabolous - Say Aah. "I got a table waitin, what you think about a convo/And if you like it baby we can take it to the condo/And if you like the condo/We can move the party to the bedroom/Imma beat ya body like a congo." The funny part about this one is that the rest of the song talks about "pocketful of money" and "poppin' bottles of champagne." And you only have a condo?? Wow...high roller. :)
- Jay Z ft. Swizz Beatz - On To The Next One. "Used to rock a throwback, ballin' on the corner/Now I rock a teller suit looking like a owner/No I'm not a Jonas brother I’m a grown up/No I’m not a virgin I use my cajones." Poor Jonas Brothers. I think it's the ultimate insult to be mentioned in a Jay Z song.
What ridiculous song lyrics have y'all heard lately??
