*pulls up a chair*
Ursher - “Yeah”. No.
”California Love” Original version. Hear me out:
I get it that Dre an’em (*rolls eyes*) replayed the sample, but fucc that - I hear that riff and my mind says
”MFs bit ‘Knick Knack Patty Wack’ from EPMD then changed the best part!”
So it never really got no burn from me. And then, as a native Californian they played the almighty fucc out
of it every gottdamn where. You go to a Quinceneara and they play all mariachi chit, then California Love. Sheeit.
Im alright with the remix doe, because the beat is more funky.
Mario - “Let Me Love You”
This is the most average R&B song ever, I don’t get why this gets so much play.
Mary J. Blige - “Family Affair”
Another overrated Dre beat, plus something just doesn’t feel right hearing Mary say “crunk”.
And they really tried to make “dancery” happen as a word. It ain’t gonna happen.
anything by Mos Def
Problem with some of these records is that they’re the staple “grown and sexy” and “wedding party” songs so you always hear them. There are way better songs you can hear at these events but these are just safe universal standards that people will keep playing to not offend crowds or make statements ostensibly of the audience isn’t aware of.I heard BBD "Poison" the other day and it dawned on me that if I never heard that song again I'd be completely fine. One of the greatest songs ever made don't get me wrong but I've heard it enough times to last a lifetime there's no more joy I can get from it. Blackstreet "No Diggity" is another one for me that I'm good on for life. Feel free to add yours.
Empire State of Mind - Legit, I've always found this song to be annoying af, but I recognize it's a classic song. For like 15 straight years, anytime an NY team played a home game, ESPN would play the hook leading into the commercial breaks.
nikkaz In Paris - so played out, never thought much of the beat
Anything by Pitbull or T-Pain. They were always OD corny to me
Real Slim Shady - Beat is fukking garbage sounding like a cartoon carnival ride
Ignition remix - was played out in 02...
"So baby, gimme that "Toot-toot"
And let me give you that "Beep-beep"" was always corny af...hordes of better Kels songs to to choose from
