You obviously don't listen to the radio enough, then.

Hey, does anyone know the Papa Roach song where they just scream "Life's Not Fair!" over and over again. Yeah, pal, you're right, life isn't fair--a talentless hack like you makes millions of dollars and get all the pussy you wants for screaming inanities into a microphone while the rest of us have to work for a living and get laid once every four or five months if we're lucky. Jesus, isn't it about time all these horrible whining "Nu-Metal" singers died of drug overdoses or something? Christ.

This is why the only metal I listen to either is Underground Metal, or really old metal from the '70s and '80s.

Ali G is not supposed to be black - he's supposed to be a white guy who thinks he's black.

It's still really annoying. He gets on my nerves and makes a career out of racial stereotypes.

That song that begins, Lemme work it, lemme work it...
I'd like to single handedly rebuild the KGB so I could have a place to torture whoever sang the song, tproduced it, and every radio DJ over the world who ever decided to play it on the air.

OK, I don't find him funny, but once agian, the stereotype he portrays is not a racial one (I come from Slough, and I grew up with those guys. They come in all colours)

I don't find Ali G more than slightly amusing, but his guest's reactions are very.

As for really, really bad songs/music? Two words: Christian. Rock.

The one by Missy Elliot? I think that song's pretty annoying too.

It's beyond annoying. I don't even know what she's saying half the time. That's not music.
I think they ought to make an episode of American Idol where the people who have record contracts have to go sing. I'm certain several would never make it.
My bus driver plays WAPE, a local radio station a friend of mine calls "Wigger APE" because of all the black rap they play. It was an OK station back when people were actually writing music, but now it's just crap and a general cacophany of overly-deep-voiced rappers, repetitive tunes, and annoying DJs.

That's what the show's all about!

As for Christian Rock? Try Kings X, MxPx, P.O.D., or Tommy Immanuel for size. If you like them that is. Else i'll try to think of some others you might.

While I find Christian Rock artists to be nigh-on impossible to take seriously (especially in the light that they probably worship money above all), some of them are quite talented.

Nah, Odin and Thor - there's a mythology which deserves its own rock/metal genre!

Work It is better on the video. That's why I actually like Missy. She seems to have fun with her words.

What I can't stand are Screw Tapes.

"What is a Screw Tape?", you ask? If you don't know, lucky you!

A Screw Tape is basically where they take someone's track and slow it down so it's about 75% of it's usual speed. This makes any female singer or rapper's voice sound like a man's, and a man like Potemkin from Guilty Gear. Occasionally, the also Chop it, that is to put a minor skip at seemingly random points in the song, causing a word to rapidly repeat.

For example, Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice, normally:
Snoop Doggy Dogg wrote:With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin up with funky ass shit like every single day..
now, as a Screw Tape:
DJ Screw and Snoop wrote:Wi--th s--o dra--ma-dra--ma in the L--B--C
It's ki--nda hard bei--n Snoop double-double-G
Bu--t I, s-how-how, so--me way
Kee--p co--min up with fu--nky shit-shit like every single day...

But as for induvidual songs... Well, Nelly and Jay-Z speak for themselves. I hate albums that are little more than hour-long love letters to their bank accounts.

But worse than that, are the Ghetto rappers who rap about pretending to have money:
Big Tymers wrote:Gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits
Ain't got no job, but I stay sharp
Can't pay my rent, cause all my money's spent
But that's okay, cause I'm Still Fly

Got a quarter tank of gas - in my new E class
But that's alright, cause I'm gon' ride
Got everythang - in my momma name
But I'm Hood Rich - dadah-dadah da-dah da-dah da-dah
Einhander, may I borrow your railgun please? :evil:

I'm sorry, once it get's started, it's too repetative, and everyone knows the lyrics by heart.

This is the song that never ends. It goes on and on my fiends. Some people started singing it. Not knowing what it was. And the'll keep on singing it forever just because. Theis is the song that never ends.
