worst rap song to top the Billboard Hot 100 in the '90s

of the ones I've heard, gotta be one of the Fiddy tracks. so terrible.

everything there is pretty great up until "money maker" then it kinda really goes to shit

i'd probably vote for "lose yourself"

altho Lose Yourself is pretty bad too

shakey you have weird opinions

ha

yeah "Hey Ya" was one of the questionable ones I kept on there, I guess cuz I was thinkin' about the pop-culture impact of "shake it like a polaroid picture" or w/e, but I'll take it off for the poll

(should we even do a poll?)

what can I say Fiddy's monotone idiocy is painful for me to listen to. dumber than a do I even have to say it

gotta say it will be difficult for me to vote for anything other than "Crank Dat (Soulja Boy)"

I mean, I don't like 50 that much either but dude never actively ruined children

hearing busfuls of inner city atlanta kids screaming "WATCH ME SUPERMAN THAT HOOOOOOO" as they pass by has led me to believe that soulja boy has only enriched our most valuable generation

You know what's fucked up, that Rihanna's "Disturbia" isn't actually about Disturbia.

Chris Brown wrote that song, as well as "I Can Transform Ya," leading to my theory that Shia LaBeouf is his muse.

I dunno what's so terrible about Crank Dat

sorta funny how, in retrospect, Mims' mouthbreathing idiocy (much-discussed at the time, iirc, whether inna "this dude has finally killed hip-hop" or an ironic-hipster-appreciation stylee) appears as nothing more than SouljaBoyTellEm v0.9

I've always hated "Tha Crossroads" but I saw a stripper with a white lace shawl dance to it in a redneck bar and that sort of made it awesome.

And I've always ironically loved Informer and the triple-entendre album title "12 Inches of Snow"

If you are not the board's resident Bill Cosby sympathizer and you haven't been at largely black events where a DJ will put this on and all of the kids 10 and under get up and do the dance to the song, combined with dude doing shit like "Throw Some D's On It" and (the admittedly funny and only song of his I can stand) "Yah Trick Yah", you will probably not get the level of fundamental antipathy I have for pretty much everything Soulja Boy represents or how that's been embraced as something awesome and fun by black America.

like, there are people who say stupid shit who are obviously making entertainment for adults/young adults who have developed some level of critical thinking combined with life experience, whereas Soulja Boy is just flat-out telling little kids to be annoying ignorant little shits

fuck that, fuck him, hope he dies

Soulja Boy is just flat-out telling little kids to be annoying ignorant little shits

hell yeah rock n roll!!

I must be missing something. song seems pretty innocuous to me. It's not like Awww Skeet Skeet or Me So Horny or anything

read an interview w/ him, it'll be more clear

like seriously no joke, I hope someone kills him

messily

the way you're talkin I woulda thought he sent you charged you full price for a CD-R with reproduced artwork

so you don't like his aesthetic instincts then

readin some interviews now, don't see anything particularly egregious - he wants to be a huge star, the internet was a huge help, all his songs are gonna feature dances, he likes 50 Cent... so uhm waht?

soulja boy is an interesting musician

Love a lot of these but Wild Wild West, partly because of its shitty movie affiliations.

Can't be posted enough:

here you go, Shakey

this dude is either one of the dumbest human beings on Earth or one of the most self-centered, evil douchenozzles to ever walk the earth

"yah man thanks Hitler for what ya did to the Jews, lots of good WWII movies came out cuz of it!!!"

kinda lol but mostly sad.

otoh I can think of at least a dozen rappers who have said equally stupid things and don't inspire this level of vitriol so I figured it was something aesthetic, y'know, in the songs themselves

I always assumed that soulja boy quote was just a (very) poorly-thought-out joke... idunno.

most of these other rappers don't specifically pitch their songs at kids 10 and under, is my point

xp: that was his defense; doesn't actually change the fact that he was dumb enough to say it

wau @ soulja boy on slavery

I sure as hell hope people like 50 Cent and Too Short aren't gearing albums towards 10 year old kids, shudder the thought....

As 4 Cryin Out Loud asks, "How old was Ice Cube when he first emerged and was writing rhymes for Eazy - like 16?"

LOLOLOLOL yeah 16 yo Ice Cube never said anything offensive/stupid now did he WTF

I sure as hell hope people like 50 Cent and Too Short aren't gearing albums towards 10 year old kids, shudder the thought....

kids, especially hip hop fans, hear *everything* which is why I thought it was weird to single out Soulja Boy as opposed to yeah 50 Cent or Lil Jon or something

telling fantastical stories about smacking hoes and grabbing tricks by their weaves /= saying "YAY SLAVERY FO' ADVANCIN' OUR RACE"

he's the shit stain of modern music. I love how he gets a free pass for making excessively loud, annoying ringtones and making hyper-moronic statements, but that M.I.A. bitch must DIE by media assasination NOW!

has soulja boy recorded a "black korea" yet

or donated $$$ to the Republican Party

Sorry for 3x post can mod delete

but that M.I.A. bitch must DIE by media assasination NOW!

lol

exploring "what is the most offensive/wrong Ice Cube or Eazy-E lyric" is gonna make this thread real long and tiresome btw

does that justify why indie fans give MIA a free pass for making excessively loud, annoying ringtones and making hyper-moronic statements

What has MIA ever said that is even the same moronic orbit as Souljah Boy's slavery comment?
