Wasn't Lucinda Williams someone, er, "we" were supposed to respect?

Good god these are bad. Luckily I can't imagine any in an actual song...

We got get Kanye in there too. Did anyone catch his SNL performance? It was embarrassing. My 10 yr olds write better rhymes. Also, he uses the vocoder as a crutch throughout most of the album to hid the fact that he cannot sing. Yikes!

Alvy said...

The Ne-Yo line is one of the all-timers.

I'd have to say the T-Pain lyric is the worst of the aforementioned. At least Ne-Yo (barely) tried to rhyme.

lucinda and her orgasms (hers and others' i guess) enough already.

agree with alvy...the pity party/calamari line beats 'em all.

I played this one at Landmark tonight.

Lil Wayne “Dr. Carter”

Swagger tighter than a yeast infection / Fly go hard like geese erection.

I love the line from "Human," but most of the rest of this stuff is whack. What is going on with that Metallica line? Is that from a song from "Quest for Fire"?
@Simo, the world may finally be catching up with me. Kanye has put together some nice-sounding tracks, for sure, but as a rapper/"singer" he sux; dude has only one meter/rhyme scheme, and it's bush-league. Check out his work on Estelle's "American Boy'; in his defense, maybe they only gave him 15 minutes to write his part.
