Village Voice's F2K

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!

oh this fucking thing

die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die

woah i totally thought dynamite hack was the 90s....next you'll tell me wheatus teenage dirtbag was the 00s too

"Teenage Dirtbag" is a single by Wheatus, released in 2000.

aiyeeeeeeeeeeeee1111111!!!!

okay harvey danger was the 90s still right?

Yeah, that was '98.

good lord.

I was hoping to see that song by that asshole about banging your piano all night long until you like express something maaaaan here, but I'm not sure it lives up to these standards.

OH SNAP HE TOTALLY TOOK DOWN DYNAMITE HACK

So much for the billions and billions of dollars Dynamite Hack is pulling in these days, career = OVER.

This one more than most does kind of seem like shooting fish in the barrel.

But the Dane Cook/Richard Pryor thing at the end is spot on.

Yeah but sometimes those fish are evil and need shooting.

Quite honestly, if a list of the worst songs from a decade wasn't largely comprised of obvious shooting-fish-in-a-barrel choices (and I think at least 3 of the 5 presented so far are in that category), it wouldn't come across to me as "worst songs" as much as "songs we have INTERESTING OPINIONS about".

Having said that, I'd kind of love to participate in an ongoing rundown of, say, Pitchfork's or Rolling Stones' top of the decade list and explain why every choice is terrible.

If it were a note, it would be the final note in the Price Is Right “sad trombone” tune. Also it would not be played by a trombonist, but literally farted out of the sphincter of a just-hanged Saddam Hussein, the morose poot representing his twitching body’s last involuntary movement.

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

I like brokencyde! stone me with stones!

I guess you're right. A "worst songs" list really should be objective and not subjective. xxxxp

I like brokencyde! stone me with stones!

Sorry, I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU.

or hey you could just not have a list of the worst songs from a decade

time and energy wasted on bad music is time and energy you're not spending on discovering dope new music imo, though i suppose lists like these have their appeal too.

or hey you could just not have a list of the worst songs from a decade

You could also not have a list of the best songs from a decade; in fact, no one really needs to write anything about music.

otm

discovering dope new music is overrated anyways

this is dope new music for me

it's true! I can't watch their videos but the album is funny + absurd + well produced.

xp to johnny fever

post music

or pictures of it

okay, i guess? xxxxpost ¯\(°_o)/¯

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."

^ I don't know how much of this thought process played into me liking brokencyde, but I'm like, really? you're getting apoplectic over this?

I get being contrary but come on now.

I'm the contrariest

I did a lot of heartfelt soulsearching trying to figure out if my enjoyment of brokencyde was bound up in lol irony, but in the end I concluded that I really truly enjoy listening to that album

if your emotional maturity is > 16 YMMV tho

this thread is helpful though, I feel like I'm working through my issues of guilt and shame

in re: brokencyde

wow, it's like this thread is defenseless without whiney around

post whatever you want guys, black is white, freedom is slavery, brokencyde are great

looooooool

i hear that fucking Dynamite Hack song on the radio at least once a week but wow never saw the video. didn't realize they beat Vampire Weekend to the exact same "lol check out how we look and then listen to the lyrics" punch almost a decade earlier.

Vampire Weekend at least seem reverent toward the cultural musics from which they borrow, though. Dynamite Hack comes across as "Hey d00ds, wouldn't be totes hilarious if we covered Eazy-E with acoustic guitars? LOL we've never even seen crack cocaine except on Dateline, so the levels of irony will be off the chain!"

awful song, wtf @ ppl defending it in the comments.

I have been driven to distraction lately because the local pop station plays "Party In The USA" and "Battlefield" incessantly but I don't think I could deal with Dynamite Hack exposure once a week.
