Feel the same way about the scream before De La Soul's Ego tripping.

Or Laurn Hill saying she's like nina simone defecating on the microphone.

Or Nas doing a great pro-black song on Ultra black and then ending it with "We all are black".

I almost always hate to hear sex sounds in songs


You got any other examples of how one choice mars an otherwise perfect song?

"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

"Cause who I'm talkin' about, y'all, is hip-hop."

That line is like watching pro wrestling with someone who has to point out every time a punch doesn't really land.

I mean I was like 13 but yeah.

And I love the song. But that last line was heavy handed.

So maybe that explains why he felt he needed to include the explanation at the end. It was so much newer then.

There may be others but I can't think of any at the moment.

I feel you 'bout "I Used to Love HER", because to me, "I Gave You Power" would have been perfect without the giveaway line.

I need to think on some other examples.

I think the screaming on Ego Tripping was a big reason why I avoided that album for a few years lol. Especially when The Roots had done their version and I went back to listen to De La's I did not get it. With time that changed and after seeing them live I totally get it and enjoy it but it does give me pause on playing it for others.

I know the peeing sound always bugged me and would distract me whenever the song would come on.

Personally, I never minded it the screaming at the beginning of Ego Trippin’. Later, I really learned to embrace it because it was an easy way for me and my kids to crack up in the car and get them involved in a fun way.

As much as I am okay with the screaming in Ego Trippin', the screams and moans on Pawn Stars makes it a little challenging to listen with the kids in the car.

I didn't interpret it as a peeing sound but maybe I'm remembering wrong

No matter what the song is about, he's just going to talk about getting his dick sucked.

I'm actually surprised no one else (with lyrics) attempted that beat

The end of Scarface - Let Me Roll comes to mind. Ridiculous, nobody wants to hear that shit.

Spitting too. FOH with that.

So when you skip to your song, you don't have to hear any of that nonsense.

I believe Rampage had that shit on his album.

This is cringe for me. There are a few exceptions, but I just know that they are going to be proven wrong in a year or two. Any emcee that yells that at 18 is an idiot, and needing a friend.

ghost of soulja slim, i think

i thought it was a nice start to the album

Like, one or the other would have worked. But with him doing essentially the same schtick on every song on "To East Blackwards," eventually it was like "Enough already!"

Yes! She's on the drugs. (c) BoHagon

I absolutely love Mainstream to the point it may be my favorite Kast song but I think Big’s verse is off on that joint.

“Oh oh what, you want me to call you slut?
Well why you fucking all these brothers letting them all up in yo guts”

I get his message but the beat and the song’s feel are so beautiful that to me his approach to his lyrics don’t match the vibe of the other 3.

He does something similar on Growing Old as well.

Same with Ms Jackson. Lol

"...I'm seein' my death and I ain't even took my first step."

Why not "breath?" I don't hate this but it always bugs me when I hear it.

Edit: Oh yeah, and then that song had the blowjob skit at the end...

One that always stood out is Eminem on the Everlast diss "I Remember". He says:

"Plus I can sing better than you and I don't fuckin' sing
And probably play guitar better, and I ain't never touched a string"

Why not "plucked a string" ?

"Fuck aliens." © WarriorPoet415

somehow that word sounds worse to me than other ways of saying it.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

Sex moans

Bodily noises (I remember Beck having a song with farts and other odd noises that I strongly disliked)

Really vivid sexual lyrical imagery

Really weak drum sounds

Poor mixing/engineering

Stock or default snare/keyboard sounds

Aggressive misogyny in new music (I seem to be completely fine with The Chronic and Death Row-era music. But let j Cole get ign'ant and I'm on to the next track. LOL)

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

Love the song but could do without the sex moans.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

where he's telling one chick to eat the other one out while he does his thing

im sorry but that was just overkill

I wanna go to where the martyrs went
the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...

I have no idea who made the executive decision not to include that song yet have that sex skit and the Funk Flex skit.

Those two tracks derail that entire album for me.

Stay with me - Pharrell

It's a beautiful song, especially the questlove version, but Pusha takes it outta the zone with that line

"To Each His Reach"

but.....

Fuck aliens.

Red & Mef have a line on each end of "Left & Right" ("Liar liar, set your p***y on fire"/"F*** 'em, leave 'em...") that, to me, throw off not only the vibe of the song, but blemish the album as a whole.
I get that the song is supposed to be gritty and "nasty" in some ways...D' says some stuff in his verses too...but the way Red & Mef did it was over-the-top and lacked D's finesse. Those lines have definitely stopped me from putting Voodoo on in some people's company.

There have been some songs lately that have weird sounds that I can't tell if they're on purpose or if it was something from the sample. I think Joey has a track that has a sound like Windows booting up. Or this track has a metronome beep that doesn't really make sense to my ear.

Organized Konfusion's Equinox suffers greatly from this. Its tragic on the CD, and streaming versions. can't remember if this occurred on vinyl

Maybe the only blemish on that album, to me.

This Jay-Z track In My Lifetime has such a mellow cool flow to it... and it ends with as vile of a skit I can think of that's supposed to be funny. It reminds me why it took years for me to mess with Jay-Z. All speaks to his present growth.

especially the D&D dude.

The singing at the beginning of step into a world ruined the song for me. Plus KRS screaming in the background KLAKA KLAKA. I'd always have to skip into the middle… It destroys the song for me and my mood every time. hahaha

It's a pretty silly song overall, but the part with Yogi getting head is really unnecessary.

Smh…

That entire album has suspect skits too.

Never liked them.

Love this song but hate the “bitches is just for sex” line.
