MindCrime Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 The 20 Worst Rhymes in Pop Music History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I am a defender of Kanye West about 55% of the time, but this line is just one of the worst, and unfortunately it's from one of his best songs (Jesus Walks) "For the victims of wellfare for we livin' in hell here...hell yeah" the first two rhymes would have worked, but why'd he have to throw in "hell yeah" to rhyme with "hell here?" It just doesn't make any sense since living on wellfare isn't something to say "hell yeah" about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 another bad one: "ayo for yayo walk around with yayo all up in my nayz-yo i musta been craze yo" i have no problem with making up words like "nayzyo" or "craze yo" because they obviously mean "nasal" and "crazy" and they had to change them to make them rhyme. it doesn't even bother me that he rhymed yayo with yayo. i just think the line "walk around with yayo" is weird because it doesn't imply that he's snorting the yay or selling it or anything, it just puts the image in mind of some guy walking around holding a bag of coke.

Carl Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 There's a fine line between awful and brilliant here. For instance: Brilliant: "Last Child" by Aerosmith "Take me back to a south Tallahassee Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy" Awful: "Cherish" by Madonna "Romeo and Juliet they never felt this way, I bet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 "Everything's Not Lost" by Coldplay: So if you ever feel neglected And if you think that all is lost I'll be counting up my demons, yeah Hoping everything's not lost how creative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 There's a fine line between awful and brilliant here. For instance: Brilliant: "Last Child" by Aerosmith "Take me back to a south Tallahassee Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy" True brilliance, indeed! I've been always quite fond of this quote by ZZ Top: "I've gotten used to missin' her I practice all the time While I drive the Pan Am highway through With that cactus friend o' mine" Hard to beat the "sweet sassafrassy" though. ------------------------------------------------------------ Awful?...hmm, ... still thinking . . . Okay: How 'bout, "We're an American Band?" Like...um... duhoy! Good song, nevertheless! But the sheer obviousness ruins it. Wait a minute! Here's one even worse! . . . "Well I'm ... hot-blooded, check it and see Got a fever of a hundred and three." I think it's horribly, as well as terribly, awful. I've always considered that Foreigner would have better served as corn farmers than songwriters. Not taking away from the band as a whole, though.

Carl Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 But you have to give some points for getting "Snuggie" in a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just out of interest - cos it's a total mystery to me - what does the verb to "dougie" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My kid explained this to me. Let me see if I get it right. "Dougie" was an '80s rapper, Doug E Fresh, and I guess he was a good dancer, and I think my kid said he is dead now... but evidently "to Dougie" means to dance with swagger. Or something like that. There's also a song out there in the hip-hop world called "Teach Me How To Dougie." I have had to endure listening to that one more than I can stomach.

MindCrime Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Just out of interest - cos it's a total mystery to me - what does the verb to "dougie" mean? Must be some kind of new dance, otherwise I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 It's a dance with a horrible song that accompanies it in which the rapper implores the listener to teach him how to do said "Dougie". Many, many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Arguably, the most egregious series of rhyme crimes known to song were perpetrated by just one band. 'Cause I understand you've been running from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye Of a hurricane that's abandoned ~ Sandman, America But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have and Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the Tropic of Sir Galahad ~ Tin Man, America After nine days, I let the horse run free, 'Cause the desert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds, and rocks and things, There was sand and hills and rings. The ocean is a desert, with its life underground, And a perfect disguise above. Under the cities lies, a heart made of ground, But the humans will give no love. ~ A Horse With No Name, America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 let's not forget this America classic: 'Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair and the days surround your daylight there seasons crying, no despair alligator lizards in the air. The rhymes are all spot-on, the the words, man, the words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana - Cotton Fields - CCR Except Texarkana is on the border of Texas and Arkansas, so it's an entire state away from Louisiana. Well done CCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_In_Green Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Don't forget that classic line from the Jay Sean "Baby Are You Down, Down, Down, Down Down" song: I'll take you away, hey Turn this place into our private getaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
