Have you ever heard a line or phrase in a song that was so stupid that it pissed you off? I'm talking about shit that makes no sense, is out of place, or is only there for the sole purpose of rhyming. Now yes, I understand what these artists "mean" 9 times out of 10, but still, the shit irritates me. If you have to dumb down shit to make it rhyme, its time to cut the shit out entirely and write something different.
This is a call to BG. Share some lyrics that you feel were out of place, didnt make sense, or were just outright stupid to you. Explain why you feel its dumb. I understand that many lyrics are metaphorical, but some things should not be allowed to let slide. Here, I'll start off with a couple:
Lil' Wayne - Steady Mobbin'
"If you act foul you get 2 shots, and 1"
Basketball metaphor. Problem is, if you get fouled, you only get 1 shot if you make the basket. Making the basket is called "and 1." There is no way you can get 2 shots "and 1." C'mon Wayne......
Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West and Ne-yo - Knock You Down
Kanye - "Tell me can you make it past your Caspers, so we can fly off into NASA."
Christ...You cannot fly off into NASA. NASA is an organization. I understand what he means by flying off into space or whatever, but this just sounds fucking stupid. Step your game up Kanye, you are better than that.
