i'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
Jun. 14th, 2007 05:19 pmDisclaimer, I have not heard the song, but I don't think I need to... the title alone makes me want to hit things, both textually and conceptually.
The number three single on the Billboard chart this week?
In any case, I now have to quote MC Lars:
Edit: Against my better judgement I looked up the lyrics to "Buy You a Drank (Shawty Snappin')". It is, perhaps, the ultimate Generic Crunk Rap.
Further edit: In the interest of quasi-journalistic integrity, I listened to the song. Actually, I listened to about half the song... I just could not make it all the way through....
The number three single on the Billboard chart this week?
T-Pain featuring Yung Joc-"Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')"
The spelling alone makes my teeth hurt.In any case, I now have to quote MC Lars:
This popular subgenre is brought to you by materialism.I'm now going to listen to some Deltron 3030 to make the pain go away.
We'd like to thank Bentley, Aliz© champagne, and Sean
Jean clothing. We'd like to thank the record industry for
Marketing hip-hop stereotypes to 12 year olds and a pop
Culture that unquestioningly consumes vapid,
Superficial entertainment.( Read more... )
Phrase about my car, rhyme about my crew (Volvo!)
Rap about how much more crunk I am than you
Rhyme about my rims, rhyme about my bling
Chorus where I scream cause I don't know how to sing
Rhyme supporting guns, and also drinking 40's
Misogynist rhyme about banging lots of shorties
Rhyme about my dough, and then some made up lyrics
Get off the gas you swinga, check the deuce, yo sabiirit
[CHORUS]
Generic crunk rap! (What) Generic crunk rap! (Yeah)
Generic crunk rap! (What) We don't mess around
Generic crunk rap! (Yeah) Generic crunk rap! (What)
Generic crunk rap! (Yeah) You like our dirty sound
Buy clothes (Get crunk) Hennesy (Get crunk)
Escalades (Get crunk) Spend money (Get crunk)
Buy cars (Get crunk) Take shots (Get crunk)
Have sex (Get crunk) Spend money (Get crunk)
Grandmaster Flash, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
KRS, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
Run-DMC, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
But who can argue with the charts
When we're sitting at the top?
Rakim, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
Chuck D, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
De La Soul, I'm sorry but we're killing hip-hop
And we're making so much money
That we ain't about to stop!( Read more... )
