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

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?

gotta vote for "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," which is by far the weak link of the '97 Bad Boy hit parade. even as far as poppy "The Message" beatjacks go Ice Cube did a better one just 4 years earlier.

really surprised yr hating on this. its not in my top 5 or anything but as far as tracks go i still bump this & mase & puffy both sound fine on it

now with sean on the hot track / melt like its hot wax / put it out, all the stores / bet you could shop that

it works really well in the scope of the album too, kinda mixtape vibe to the entire record

i mean, is it really that strange to hear dudes rapping over old school instrumentals? that was kinda puffys thing. major label mixtape rap

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

if only critics would STOP giving a FREE PASS to soulja boy tell em

btw you stan for uffie stfu

also MIA is 35

soulja boy is 20

o, t, & m

ringtones fund terrorism

i actually can't get over how dumb that statement is, even coming from spinspin sugah

MIA got killed by a lot of critics for making music that was "excessively loud" and "annoying" because, by and large, those aren't qualities of music that people generally like, even MIA fans -- soulja boy, by making music that is "annoying" and that are "ringtones" doesn't even get paid any mind by critics because, by and large, those aren't qualities of music that people generally like -- soulja boy is not the clipse or something

as for their hyper-moronic statements (should be one to talk iirc), soulja boy got killed all over the blogosphere (only place where he actually gets talked about) for that retarded shit he said about slavery, not to mention, like i said, that MIA is 35 years old -- i'm sure she had some really trenchant and insightful and non-controversial political views at the age of 20

Plus Souja Boy looks like Goku. Hard to beat that imo.

Fuck I accidentaly voted for 'getting jiggy with it' when I actually wanted to vote for 'wild wild west' :P

Notorious BIG - "Hypnotize"
Will Smith - "Getting Jiggy With It"
2Pac - "How Do U Want It" / "California Love"
Sir Mix-A-Lot - "Baby Got Back"
Lauryn Hill - "Doo Wop (That Thing)"
Notorious BIG ft Puff Daddy and Mase - "Mo Money Mo Problems"
Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise"
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - "Tha Crossroads"
Puff Daddy and Mase - "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down"
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - "Good Vibrations"
Snow - "Informer"
Kris Kross - "Jump"
Vanilla Ice - "Ice, Ice Baby"
Puff Daddy ft 112 and Faith Evans - "I'll Be Missing You"
Will Smith ft. Dru Hill and Kool Moe Dee - "Wild Wild West"
PM Dawn - "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss"

coolio above bone thugs?? lauryn hill & 'baby got back' above mo money?? snow & marky mark above kris kross?? smh

man u b nitpicking

00s list is surprisingly solid, nothing nearly as bad as i'll be missin you imo

J0rdan, still butthurt I see if you're bringing up Uffie (album's wack, btw lol). I don't know how I feel about your credibility given that you never heard that PM Dawn track or heard a Madonna record for that matter...or you have no concept of music from the 80's. I mean, should you really be talking to me? The answer is no.

hold on, spinspin sugah, don't blacklist me. anyone but you, i couldn't take that.

i must be able to converse with you

:/ yeah, I love you too.

j0rdan, don't waste your time on the p.m. dawn bullshit.

listen to some damn madonna tho

SS, we were agreeing on something the other day, I forget what tho

i did not know that pm dawn were considered to be one of those acts that everyone had to hear. rev otm tho, listen to some damn madonna.

also soulja boy's entire thing is that he's young and dumb and kinda gonzo, so when he slips into dumb/offensive from dumb/entertaining, you just roll your eyes. mia's entire thing is that she's a smart political artist who's ~opening your eyez~ so the gap between the image she's trying to sell us and what she actually says is a lot wider than soulja boy's.

I will also cease any below the belt uffie zings since you've said that the album sucks

xpost
I wasn't acutally aware that ever happened, but good for us!

xxpost
I'm so tired of defending M.I.A. at this point. Keep those double-standards comin', folks.

yeah, I can admit when I'm wrong. being an adult is great!

lol

tbh i don't think i've heard "jump" since the mid-90s

WIKI-WIKI-WILD-WILD WEST

don't think i've heard "wild wild west" since it was a hit either

God those lyrics are hilarious
