I have talked to a few of my friends about this. Now I am sharing it with the world because the love of my life, Mr. Justin Randall Timberlake, has committed the sin of the “stupid rap method.”
First of all, I may be the whitest girl ever, but I love me some rap and r&b. I love jamz. I think we all know this. But I thought I would preface it. I even like the ones that I know are bad. It’s cool.
But what I HATE is when rappers these days spit stupid lines, followed with an example of whatever they just said, that has no relevance to the song whatsoever.
The best example of this is pretty much any lyric from “Bedrock” by Young Money. Knock yourself out with that.
So, I was trolling one of the music download sites I use, and someone posted a link to a song that’s apparently by Puff Daddy (I will not be calling him Diddy. Ever.) and features Lil’ Wayne and Justin Timberlake. I collect Justin Timberlake songs because I’m a freak, so I downloaded it. Please imagine my terror when I heard these gems:
I can read your mind, read your mind, Professor X
We can press rewind, press rewind, VHS
Speaking of the past, its so futuristic behind ya
Let me fill up your plate and dish it out, dish it out, China
I’mma bend yo body, bend yo body, Magneto
Let me have my way, I’mma have my way, Carlito
REALLY?! God, my heart hurts.
