"Pop-Rap" Lyrics, and why I can't bring myself to call it HipHop

This is ONLY funny to me because people are so dumb they are paying for shit like this, and supporting it so heavily it's fucking Top of the charts. It's sadder to me then funny however, for the same reasons. Especially when there's so much better music out there, including intelligent "undergound" hip-hop.

Perhaps all you kiddies, or those with minds of kiddies, will understand now when your parents tell you they just don't "get" your music.... Check out these lyrics, the only thing to "get" is a fucking brain that works so you all stop listening to this trash.

Issue Date: 2006-09-23
The Billboard Hot 100

#1: Justin Timberlake - "Sexy Back"
I'm bringin' sexy back
Them other boys they don't know how to act
I think it's special... what's behind your back
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack
Comments: Well he rhymes back with back, that’s some talented shit, especially when he rhymes slack with the second "back" just because its the only thing he could think of. The fact that it makes no sense is obviously not important.

#2: Fergie - "London Bridge" (As soon as I see "Fergie" I shouldn't even have to write any lyrics down, you should already be laughing at its #2 spot.
Oh shit (oh shit)
Oh shit (oh shit)
Oh shit (oh shit)
Are you ready for this?
Oh shit (oh shit)
Ohhhhh
It’s me, Fergie
The Pimp!
Comments: I'm speechless frankly. What a role model. Ohh what the hell, one more: "I’m Fergie Ferg, and me love you long time" WOW, that's just incredible.

#3: The Pussycat Dolls Ft. Snoop Dogg - "Buttons"
Baby, can't you see?
These clothes are fittin' on me
The heat comin' from this beat
I'm about to blow
I don't think you know
I'm tellin' you loosen up my buttons babe (Uh huh)
But you keep frontin' (Uh)
Sayin' what you gon' do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain't seen nothin' (Uh)
Repeat the last 4 lines 9 Times; no I'm not exaggerating, 9 fucking times.
Comments: When did songs cease to have to make sense completely? I understand using different slang in order to maintain flow, but when could you just use words in the wrong tense or simply describe that your clothes fit, using improper grammar, and repeat an awful chorus 9 times and be #3? Excuse me whilst I smash my face on my desk.

A refreshing Gnarls Barkly at #4, not a bad song, and the lyrics are actually somewhat intelligible. 1 outa 10 = 10% = bottom of the class failure.

#5: Sean Paul- "Give It Up To Me"
From you look inna me eye gal I see she you want me
When you gonna give it up to me
Because you body enticing you makin' me horny
When you gonna give it up to me
Well if a no today girl then a must be tomorrow
When you fulfill my fantasy
Because you know I give you lovin' straight like an arrow
When you gonna give it up to me
Bonus: "You no habla ingles but just listen me when me a talk"
Comments: Wow, that’s some original shit Sean Paul, way to diversify from all your other songs. And so you know, when girls don't understand your language and you just tell them to sit there and listen to you talk at them anyhow, it's not really a good move towards "givin' her loving straight like an arrow"

I was going to do the full top ten, but I've absorbed stupidity ad nauseam. Yet another confirmation to my belief that the vast majority of people are fucking idiots.

I doubt Timberlake even writes his own stuff. Isn't it ridiculous that it takes a professional song writer to write that swill?

OMG those lyrics are so gay that hey make me vomit, but despite this fact we call this "popular music." It's so disgusting that they occupy the top charts!! Come on, we can do better than this!
