This may be the corniest rap song I ever heard...

[Still Benefited]

So we gonna forget that "Knockout" shyt Lil Wayne and Nicki did?

Don't you dare tell me that shyt was dope either

I was just about ready to say "yup,this got that B.O.B song beat"


But somehow,some way Nicki almost singlehandeldy saved this disgrace of a record


She gave a good hook,and her delivery on the track was "interesting" attempt being that its a rock record. Birdman even showed up to rub his hands together for this smh.

B.o.b. is basically Andre 3000 with 1/10th of the creativity and skill. And down syndrome.

How breh casually slipped that line in at the end

[Reptile]

THIS is the corniest rap song ever.

 

[boogers]

god damn that was putrid

i never expected much outta BOB, and homie from Weezer really oughta know better.. aint he in his 50s now? :facepalm2:

BOB needs to crawl his gremlin ass back in the test tube and go to sleep forever

Yo, do you really like for real realize that Jay-z was trying to talk like Austin Powers on that Blueprint 2.0 shhit or whatever it was. Bro, he was using Austin Powers voice/slang and thought that shhit was fire. That’s one of the corniest moments in rap history imo,

[Whips-n-Chains]

Thought it would be chance the rapper

 

[CAVEMAN]

Yeah this was a time when labels was beginning to abuse the plug n play method.

Lupe had Nothing On You first but passed on it. B.O.B took it and ran with it but that shyt was going to be a hit with or without b.o.b because of Bruno Mars

whats crazy is I could imagine Lupe might actually COULD have killed it properly on 'Nothing On You' and 'Airplanes'. I heard the demo he did to one of em and it wasn't very good because you could hear that his heart wasnt in it, but, I could imagine if he had really had got in the mode he could have made great songs to both of those tracks and could have transcended the corniness better than B.o.B did on em.


shiiiiiiiit, matter of fact B.o.B himself could've done em way better too, in ways that would have felt less corny and more heartfelt. Bobby Ray had soul. But he didnt put that in these records, – thats how he let himself get boxed in as a cornball. Even worse was the even cornier followup songs like this. If he had followed up faster with some real shyt he might have been able to salvage some credibility and a real career

 

[bordeaux]

He completely boxed himself into that category too. He was pretty much done after his 2nd album dropped... Then he try to cross back over from pop back into rap and go back to his roots but it was too late.

i dont know where tf yall were but this is simply not true. this

was a hit and is 2x platinum and this

was like number 1 on 106 and park and also got heavy play.

i also find it hilarious hot rod aka @TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY wack ass get in threads like this and
fix his lips to talk about someone selling out making pop music like he wasnt making techo tracks overseas.

 

[Crumple]

Tell me I'm lying....

This dropped nearly a decade ago.

From the beat, to the chorus that ripped off the original song used, to the video... Everything about it was corny. Before B.O. B's debut dropped, I was hyped and thought he would delivery a great album but instead it was wack and filled with a gang of corny ass pop songs. B.O.B is the definition of an artist that sold out his talent and creative for fame and popularity.

What y'all think?

I don't know. That was the time of this kind of pop along with Taylor Swift.

I think I remember it hearing it in Taco Bell thinking is this what rap has come to?

But then I may have heard it again in the same taco bell and thought. This is Taco Bell Hip Hop so it works.

Also, it probably did big numbers.

 

[The Eliminator]

This is why Tyler said he will crash his airplane

 

[Rasille]

This was a song of its time. It hasn’t aged well

 

[raoulduke187]

this song sounds so 2011 it summoned a crowd of hipsters
