Koopa WLotD week pushes on:
“Bet that he could leave out with the baddest one/
Call her ‘dot com’ cause she lookin’ like she Amazon”
–Chamillionaire, “Foolish Freestyle”
Even Chino XL is cringing at these punchlines.
Cham Week, pt. 2:
“I Phil-up Banks, my account bigger than Carlton’s/
Ladies call me Daly, like my first name was Carson”
–Chamillionaire, “What’s Up”
You know, I actually like the first part, just cause Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is the greatest television series of all time. That said, it still sounds like a punchline you’d write in middle school (or if you were a ‘net-cee’ in the late 90’s), and the second part is just inexcusable. Reminds me of Erick Sermon-esque punchlines: “I’m grindin…LIKE THE CLIPSE!” Oops, pow, surprise, ohhhhhhhh.
Disclaimer: I like Koopa, but this might be an all Chamillionaire WLotD week. He’s had a lot of questionable lines recently, which is probably a product of releasing so many punchline heavy verses. If you do that, you’re bound to have some that don’t quite come off. Herrrrrrrrre we go:
“When it come to fans, I got hella like copters”
–Chamillionaire, “What’s Up”
BTW, “What’s Up” is a new joint from Rhymefest featuring Cham and Jadakiss that just leaked last week. If you missed it, here you go:
“When you cheated girl, my heart bleeded girl”
–Justin Timberlake, “What Goes Around, Comes Around”
Just like when you mispronounce a word to make it rhyme, if you make up a word, that’s wack too. This song is great though, I can’t front.
“I’m sending you some text messages/
But you can call ’em sex messages/
And IDK when I’ll be there/
But I’ll TTY later and we’ll be loving ASAP/
And we can XOXO”
–Raheem DeVaughn, “Text Messages”
Raheem is the man, but the hook on this joint just makes me cringe. He should leave these kinds of metaphors to Kells.
“Fly with me, get high as me/A lot of alphabets, girl I’m a G”
–Rick Ross, “Here I Am”
Wack on multiple levels these days.
“I am not homophobic, but I do not believe in you f****ts/
Stay in the closet, Catholic priest maggot/
Elton John habits, raised on Bert & Ernie in bathtubs/
Scrubbin’ each others backs, that’s ass backwards”
–Reks, “The One”
Reks is dope, homophobia is not (even if you try to use a disclaimer).
I’m a big Reks fan, cause dude is one of the illest MC’s and hardest spitters that we have in the game today, but I can’t cosign the lines above. Anyone telling gay people to “stay in the closet” gets the Cliff-face. It’s 2008. Evolve.
His new album, Grey Hairs, is dope though. I just can’t vibe to those bars in that one song. Shrug.
“With stacks in my jeans just like my name was Billie”
–V.I.C., “Get Silly”
That might even be the best part of this song.
(LOL @ this picture getting watermarked twice. shameless.)
WLotD was on hiatus for a minute, but it’s back with a vengeance today. After all this Rick Ross f**kery that’s been all over the net the past week, today’s wack lyric is simply:
Every overexaggerated, faux gangster related word Rick Ross ever spit.
I’ve seen a lot of people wonder why anyone cares about this story, since we all know rappers lie virtually every time they open up their mouths. Well, the wack ones do. The thing is, you’d be surprised how many people don’t realize this, especially kids. Anyone who happened to be at a certain concert in the NW this past weekend can probably attest to that. So yeah…all of us messageboard/blog geeks never thought Rawwwws knew “the real Noriega,” but a frighteningly large size of the rap audience did. You can thank our piss poor educational system for that.
A word of advice for the next generation: if you want to lie in your music, you may not want to take it to such extremes. Of course, if you lie in your art, you’re losing from the jump. Honest expression is key, take it from Bruce:
“It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky. But to express one’s self honestly…that, my friend, is very hard to do.”
Demand yourself to be better.
Seeing as how Weezy’s coming to Summer Jam on Sunday, I should probably ease back on his WLotD‘s. Juelz is fair game though, even if it’s on Wayne’s album.
“I get money out the ass, that’s some expensive sh*t”
–Juelz Santana, “You Ain’t Got Nuthin'”
Nah…that’s some wack ish.
