Title: Irritatingly bad rap lines
Post by: Cormacaroni on February 02, 2009, 01:30:18 AM

ok, find me a more atrocious line in rap than the following:

'i set the microphone on fire
rap styles vary*
i'm carey**, like mariah'

*(pronounced 'varry')
**(pronounced like 'jim carrey')

Wu-Tang Clan, 'Da Mystery of Chessboxing', Enter the Wu-Tang Clan

Or 'Accordion' on Madvillainy:

'slip like Freudian/your first and last step to playing yourself like an accordion'

every single time i hear it, it makes me grit my teeth. 'Freudian' wasn't a person! 'Carey' is not an adjective!  The more I like the track, the more irritating this shit becomes.

edit: oh shit, wrong forum, i'm screwed

You was on the dance flo grindin'

You want a new bitch to fuck that’s fine but don’t fuck hers and try to fuck mines
You keep tellin me you ain’t touch her but some keep tellin me you dun fucked her and I ain’t that bitch you want to play wit nigga drop them boxers and let me smell yo dick

He's not referring to Freudian as a person. It's a simile; it's a play on words, clever or not so clever.

This one irritated me so much that after awhile I found it hilarious:

Who in the hell left the gate open?
I'm pretty down for the wild, wild west
Like them 1800's in em stage coaches

I  :lol every time someone plays Fight Night.

Freudian is not a person. Freud, on the other hand, is. That's what makes it so teeth-grittingly STUPID.

I love the album to death, but that just makes it worse.

Laugh at me too then because Metal Face Doom can do NO FUCKING WRONG IN MY BOOK. Isn't it a "freudian slip"? So why wouldn't "slip like freudian" make sense in context?

Here's my favorite nonsense rhymes:

• "Ayo, Dizzy Gillespie played the sax / me myself I like to max" - Greg Nice (thankfully, Count Bass D corrected the line a decade later: "Dizzy Gillespie played the trumpet")
• "Every jam we play, we break two needles / there's three of us but we're not The Beatles" - Reverend Run (unless he meant the three still-living Beatles when the song came out in '84)
• "Killin' n*ggaz every day, daily" - Sticky Fingaz (like Ego Trip said, "We heard you the first time, when you said it first")
  
• "Wake up! Take the pillow from your head - and put a book in it!" - KRS-ONE (a good way to wake up with a sore neck)
  

and my motherfucking favorite:

• "What's next? What's next? What's N-X-E-T" - Warren G

DOOM probably has some of the best similes and references in hip hop. I'm not even a fan of "like" rhymes but still. That like on Accordion makes sense as a play on words

I like MF Doom myself, not nearly as much as Maurice but come on.

Freud was a person. The term Freudian comes from the fact it's something he came up with. To say "slipped like freudian" doesn't make sense because Freudian was not a person, but Freud was. Freudian is anything described to be in any way related or similar to Sigmund Freud, that's why it's a weak line.

Slip like Freud makes way more sense than Slip like Freudian.

Both from Kanye:

"I'm Kan the Louis Vuitton Don / Bought my mom a purse now she Louis Vuitton mom"

and this one is kind of clever I think, but still pretty bad:

"Killin' yall niccas on that lyrical shit / mayonnaise-colored Benz I push miracle whips"

And there's some TERRIBLE Rick Ross lines out there:
"I'm into distribution, I'm like Atlantic / I got them motherfuckers flying 'cross the Atlantic"

How many words rhyme with accordion? It's like rapping about oranges. You just don't.

I finally realized why Jets to Brazil named their debut 'Orange Rhyming Dictionary' :doh

I wonder if that was what they googled too.

I haven't listened to 36 chambers in a long time, but I don't think it was, "I'm Carey" :lol

This probably isn't the worst line ever, but it still sullies the track a bit.

Well, I listened to it yesterday. I said he pronounces it 'carry', and he definitely says Mariah so we can only presume he means Mariah Carey. It's horrible either way. Somebody online transcribed it thusly:

'Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah'

oh god it burns

Yeah, the J-5 line is a clunker too. But it's at least grammatical and factually correct I guess. They have recorded worse.
