Village Voice's F2K

I am going to be so entertained at Dan's reactions to all these horrible songs yet to be unearthed.

it's kind of nice to know that my wholly unfair prejudgment of The Moldy Peaches was absolutely 100% accurate

@Christopher R. Weingarten: Millionaires are the new Runaways, grandpa.

^Phil OTM

as tom ewing said on twitter, "who's got the crack?" is 47 places too low on this list. what a vile song.

I'm hoping that Ashlee Simpson, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Smashmouth didn't make the Worst of the 00's list, since they're all listed on the barfing iPod.

(Ashlee for not having any songs that are anywhere in the vicinity of the 50 worst of the decade, other two because any badness worth anything happened before the decade started.)

*~~ashlee's wondrous~~*

also cuz "all star" is a dope song

and who cares about any other SM songs

Ey, all I'm saying is that there have been some REALLY awful songs this decade.

I know no SM song exists that's worse than Bree Bree.

In fact, I bet there have been 50 worst-of-decade-worthy songs released this YEAR, according to this thread.

i hope jordan has done that thread proud in his selections!

There's gotta be some weighting for general importance, though -- something off of Brokencyde's new album should be worth more than something off of one that they self-released, in the same way that trolling MySpace or CDBaby for awful songs would seem to be a waste of time.

I'd like to suggest that those who can also comment directly on Idolator; Whiney (and Maura!) can respond directly to commentary there.

47!

holy lolz I never read the lyrics to that

"it's that clubs fault that I humped a 14-year-old girl on stage (let's pretend I never threw that male fan into the crowd)"

I had never heard "Control Myself" prior to Maura's post and I was somewhat floored by the production. Yes, all other elements of the song are concentrated dumb evil, but man, that beat.

you do know it is just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r976pP0aY0M this right?

My superficial knowledge of Afrika Bambaataa: revealed!

Well that is a shame and something you should rectify asap.

oh shit, we could see Jewel's "Intuition" on here

^Spoken by someone who learned love from Charlie Sheen. (In a postmodern world, the good is bad. Weird, I just listened to this song today for the first time in like two years.)

Is "Intuition" the one that goes, "I see a burning bush to my left / I see something something to my right / You're not in sight. / You're not in sight?"

That's "Standing Still," the awfulness of which I had long forgotten until this new regrettable moment.

I hope "Standing Still" appears on this list.

oh I had also forgotten about that song and yes, WAY worse than "Intuition"

Dear God that "Bree Bree" song is the worst fucking thing I've ever heard in my life.

there's something about songs being presented as "LOL THE WORST" that makes me end up liking them in a weird way. as if preexisting knowledge that something will be bad just sets you up for backward-dissapointment, "oh c'mon this isn't so bad." as stupid as the lyrics are the akon song is not even one of the songs akon released this decade. but yeah "why doesn't anyone wanna take blame? -> i'll take on all the blame -> even though it's on you" is hilarious.

as stupid as the lyrics are the akon song is not even one of the songs akon released this decade

The missing word here makes this assertion wonderfully mystic.

i'm not sure if whiney's timely expulsion will bode well for this thread. i'm with kshighway; dude can be a bit of a caricature of himself, but i think the laffs outweigh any annoyance or resentment engendered. huge lols on the article, though, like especially the decade breakdown.

haha oops

"worst"

moldy peaches at 48 is some gauntlet-tossing critical audacity - how the fuck do you lower the bar 47 more notches?

this will make a dandy playlist, i'm sure. thanks, y'all! Moldy Peaches rule, btw!

xp following TMP with akon is a step in the right direction.

I am assuming "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" and "Stars Are Blind" are going to pop up on here eventually (low 40s for Das Racist, high 20s for Paris).

I thought Whiney really genuinely liked the Das Racist song

Maura is doing this, too!

I'm sorry that it took so long to see . . . But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani

lol

I really genuinely like "Stars Are Blind".

A bunch of people do! A bunch of people also genuinely like brokeNCYDE (of course those people are "the dudes in "brokeNCYDE")

2) that LL was purposely recycling his "Going Back To Cali" flow for old school points

actually the flow seems straight jacked from "Funky Cold Medina"...I'm always tempted to insert "like Mick Jagger said I can't get no satisfaction" in the verses.

that said, I love Control Myself and will rep the hell out of it.

well LL did "Cali" but not "Funky Cold Medina" and he did a bunch of interviews namechecking "Cali" when "Control Myself" came out so

oh look at that whiny is blogging

i know LL didn't do Funky Cold Medina, i'm saying the flow is identical.

blogs very much in character

yeah...but if I'm talking about what LL was "purposefully" going for and referencing his own words, while you're saying "actually" like you're dropping a truth bomb or contradicting what i was saying at all

also the meter is way closer to "Cali" than "Medina," you're still wrong

46!

We pitched it as a book, everyone blew it

if only we'd called it f2k me please

Can't believe yall just let all this great writing just disappear forever. Backup your work ffs. Does anybody even have a complete list?

why don't you step off

and maybe educate yourself about how online content works. sheesh man

it looks like its here? https://www.google.com.au/search?q=f2k+village+voice&safe=off
