GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

NB I don't think this is something anyone actually wants, though

+ trying to sell it as "the antidote" to mainstream rap is like, dude, go jump in a lake

Nickelback - "Edge of a Revolution". Cor.

It sounds like he's adding an extra syllable to the word "revolution."

After hearing that, I almost wish he'd go back to plain old misogyny.

oof that lil dicky is horrible

oh my god i hope that guy's neck explodes

Dunno. I wasn't paying attention to the lyrics, but musically that seems at best not terrible and at worst ignorable.

That's probably my least favourite hit this year, yeah. It was in the Australian charts for quite a while earlier this year. There's a follow up song too which is just as bad.

i don't mind the song but just look at him

that sound on the backbeat

He sounds like he learned to sing by listening to Wolf Parade records (not a compliment)

aka third-Bowie, once-removed

feel like that Little Dicky video should be the end of all "rolling worst songs" threads forever

little dicky song goes on for fucking ever too

Karmin and Watsky "No Flex Zone (remix)"

Nope.

Done on such a shoestring budget you can actually tell where he vocal takes have been cut up and pasted together.

considering what else is in this thread .... i cant endorse that post

yeah, it's certainly ragged production but aretha's earned a pass from me for life; there are parts of this that are pretty fun

oof, i did just get to the ain't no mountain part though, ow

wow that's weird. it almost sounds like one of those "brian williams rapping" youtube videos

Done on such a shoestring budget you can actually tell where he vocal takes have been cut up and pasted together.

I read this and assumed some amateur had put together a 'cover' by chopping up syllables from old Aretha vocals and sticking them together with autotune. Didn't really notice this wasn't actually the case till I got to the chorus.

Yeah just b/c aretha is a legend doesn't mean she can't fall flat every now and again. The cover is dreadful.

I guess we're finally immune to Karmin.

oh my god when she starts singing "no flex zone" ughhhhhhhhh

why did click on that?

I deserve what I get

why did I click on that, rather

Watsky's flow is like Eminem at his annoyingest crossed with MC Paul Barman at his, er, anythingest

Also repeating "the beat bump like an ingrown hair" a half-dozen times = ugh

okay, this is not THE WORST if only by dint of its sheer overwhelming wtf'ness but prepare yourself for herb alpert's dubstep reimagining of "Chattanooga Choo Choo"

I still lol every time the "Rude" guitar solo comes on, btw

That Alpert thing is so terrible. Yikes.

lol i listened to that alpert album. it's kind of enjoyably bad

it is! ostentatiously so. like bad enough that my gf explicitly asked me to put on headphones and she puts up with all manner of horrible music from me.

...I like this

brb quitting music-opinions-having forever

"enjoyably bad" = i like it

i can't quite commit to "liking it" but it's kind of mind boggling
get it on the jukebox kat

Shocked that nobody's linked to this yet here.

not so much bad as just utterly unnecessary. i promptly put on the langley schools version and it still sounds better.

Yeah, not listening to that.

close thread with that fallon/will.i.am joint

close music

Seeing Questlove in it made me kinda sad.

imagine how he feels

i bet he's pretty bummed out with his high profile, good money steady gig and total artistic freedom for the roots

nightly performances on television, international renown, multi-millionaire, total respect within his industry and by everyone outside of it
if anyone can be said to have won hip hop, it's questo
but yeah, sometimes you gotta let will.i.am dress up like a child and dance
thus is fame
