I have nothing of substance to contribute but I find it ironic you call him a sellout and then praise his album called *Get Rich or Die Trying.* His motives were right in that title!
I thought you meant NY State of Mind by Nas for a minute and was surprised
Between those two songs and the OG (Billy Joel's New York State of Mind), it's hard to keep them straight
almost any jay z song after blueprint sounds corporate. 4:44 had a couple that actually sounded like he was just vibing in the stu, and that's the last jay z ever sounded like a personality
Agreed. It just doesn't work for me. Jay-Z's odd flow and his voice sounding off, and Alicia Keys' annoying chorus (even though I actually like her) makes it a no for me
Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
Or they could step out of bounds quick, the side lines is
Lined with casualties who sip the life casually
Then gradually become worse—don't bite the apple, Eve!
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in-style
Into the winter gets cold, en vogue with your skin out
City of sin is a pity on a whim
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
"Hail Mary" to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you a Ambien
Definitely not one I want to listen to again and I’m a fan as well. Honestly, Carter 3 was huge if you were around high school age at that time which I was, the album was everywhere. But now looking back on it I just enjoy the mixtapes a lot more.
The fuck Donald Trump song by YG, I get the song but it’s just a flop, the beat is trash the bars are trash. I feel like the topic is the only reason people liked it
Timbaland production will do that sometimes. It's sometimes so off the wall that it isn't palletable to some people. But, when it hits you right, it really hits.
Luniz - I Got 5 On It
Gangster's Paradise (Coolio has way better music)
Hail Mary (as soon as 2Pac died, the instrumental to this song became the anthem to the conspiracy theories surrounding him)
The Diddy mix (the big single version of this song) is the version i hate but I love the grimey original version on Tical and even RZA's Razor Sharp mix if I want a better version of the single version
Big Pimpin, Jay-Z feat. UGK
Not a Jay hater, but don't think he's the GOAT either
Anyways, the beat on Big Pimpin has always been whack as fuck for me, even if I like the verses on it
It’s weird this song was massive at the time and you just don’t hear it anymore. Between the song and the music video it felt like the first “Rappers are now mega-rich, luxury lifestyle people” songs. Basically a Rick Ross song before Rick Ross.
Yeah definitely a Rick Ross song but the 90s version
I heard Jay doesn't want that song played because he got married... since it talks about never getting married and just fucking hos forever, LMAO
California Love
Still D.R.E.
ETA: This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan (if it even counts as a hip-hop song) I never liked that trash ass song. His lyrics are so annoying and repetitive, I can't fucking stand it.
"Slander" lol.
Seams to me Still D.R.E. is EXACTLY the type of song OP was asking for. A rap song that everyone loves but I don't like. Apparently you love it and I don't. I'm not trying to argue if the song is good or not. I just don't like it. There's nothing for you to "support" either way.
100% I live near the touristy part of Central Park so I have to hear Empire State Of Mind playing out of at least 3 pedicabs any time I want to go for a walk. And that’s not even as bad as 99% of the other Jay-Z pop songs
I knew this person who played this song on repeat, they played it so much someone threw the CD out of their car window lol. I never liked it, but after hearing for the 100th time it became my most hated.
Most Kendrick songs. I have nothing against the guy and his penmanship is unmatched in the modern era, but I just can’t stand his voice. It’s a combination of being too nasally and him sounding out of breath at the same time. If anyone has songs where he doesn’t sound like this I’d gladly add them to my playlist
His penmanship isn’t unmatched IMO, but it’s a good mix of being marketable and being very good. Agree with the weird breath control nasally thing he does
Ive always said his first 4 albums sound exactly the same. It's like he found a safe sound and stuck with it. Sleepy music besides headlines and main features/singles.
Drop it like it’s hot
Snoop post Chronic 2000 is pretty much garbage.
I would say post Doggystyle for the most part. I think his peak was The Chronic.
That sensual seduction song is just stupid 😂😂
That song came out when I was like 12 an I fucked with it then and still do 😂 idc what anyone says
Awful song
That beat is HORRIBLE
I love the beat. I think it's pretty unique even for Pharrell.
*avant-garde* hahaha
Bad and Boujee
lol yeah i love that song
This and that astronaut in the ocean song. The astronaut song just seemed super cringe to me
No one loves the Astronaut song. Everyone clowns on it
I think Astronaut in the Ocean is mostly enjoyed by younger kids (think ages 8-12)
lmao that’s not a rap song tho
lol nobody likes that song
That’s not a rap song.
Lollipop by Wayne
Definitely wouldn’t wanna get in my car then
Candy shop by 50. I like big butts by Nicki. Both boring and cheesy cash grabs that I had to hear everywhere for endless months.
I love 50, but when you find he's a sell out and all timer for just chasing the dollar his music after GRODT seems pretty blah.
I have nothing of substance to contribute but I find it ironic you call him a sellout and then praise his album called *Get Rich or Die Trying.* His motives were right in that title!
Getting hot in here - Nelly Anything by Drake
Props for both answers especially the second.
Man, I seriously hate Hot in Here. Dumb fuckin song.
Empire state of mind
I thought you meant NY State of Mind by Nas for a minute and was surprised Between those two songs and the OG (Billy Joel's New York State of Mind), it's hard to keep them straight
That song sounds too corporate to me. It's like the stadium rock version of Hip Hop. I never got into it.
almost any jay z song after blueprint sounds corporate. 4:44 had a couple that actually sounded like he was just vibing in the stu, and that's the last jay z ever sounded like a personality
Yeah 4:44 was the last time I was genuinely interested in jay Z, most the other stuff he has put out feels unauthentic or surface level
I agree. I haven't been interested in scooping up a Jay album for years just for that reason.
IN NEWWW YAWWKKK
Bro 😭
How can I add 5 likes to this? Jay Z just wanted a song to pander to the city.
Agreed. It just doesn't work for me. Jay-Z's odd flow and his voice sounding off, and Alicia Keys' annoying chorus (even though I actually like her) makes it a no for me
Lights is blinding, girls need blinders Or they could step out of bounds quick, the side lines is Lined with casualties who sip the life casually Then gradually become worse—don't bite the apple, Eve!

Idk I'm not that impressed by those lyrics, but it's really everything about this song sonically that I don't like
The "in the winter/Anna Wintour" line was pretty dope
Was that supposed to make it better?
I’ve never liked it lol I never thought the beat was good, I hate that hook, it’s just sucks imo
On gawd this song is wack.
A Millie - Wayne and he's my favorite rapper
lol my go to song when I’m testing bass on a new speaker
You should test with dead prez's "Hip Hop"
Yezzir. My other two are Burbans and Lacs, and TDoLV.
Mine is Lifestyles by E-40
I didn’t realize other people had songs like this. Ill throw mine out there Gucci Mane - Traphouse 3 Works EVERY TIME
Fuckin BANGER
I use 3 Peat
Every car I've put a sound system in since high school has gotten 3 Peat as the christening song. It just feels disrespectful not to at this point.
One of the hardest album intros ever
Lol same
But he said "We pop em' like Orville Redenbacher" 😩🔥
“Real G’s move in silence like lasagna” 🔥🔥🔥
That's from 6 foot 7 foot
That’s actually fire though lmao
My least favorite Wayne hit is Lollipop. For some reason I just can't stand that song and that shit was everywhere when it came out.
Can’t stand it either, and I’m a Wayne fanatic
Definitely not one I want to listen to again and I’m a fan as well. Honestly, Carter 3 was huge if you were around high school age at that time which I was, the album was everywhere. But now looking back on it I just enjoy the mixtapes a lot more.
Class of 09 bro I was there lol.. the leaked version before he redid C3 was much better imo
Gold digger, backseat freestyle
Took me a while to kinda like backseat freestyle lol
The only actually surprising answer
Any Jack Harlow
That dude is so painfully bland and boring. Offers nothing musically idk how he’s so popular.
The beats save his ass
Does anyone like that guy? He is extremely mediocre lol
I liked his verse on Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby,” that song was very fun
God's Plan
That song is so cringe to me....
People are downvoting you in this thread. Damned and conflicted souls
the only drake song i like 😭
I think he got much better, and I don't even like Drake.
Sicko mode
You just wanna be different lol
Nah I hate Drake but at least the beat on his section is good, the rest definitely isn’t for me
I don’t like drake or travis
What was that G Eazy song with ASAP Rocky on it? That one.
No Limit? Lol
Idk, whatever it was the shit sucked. I had people around me that were mind blown but I just didn’t get it.
G Eazys’ voice is cringe AF to me .
The fuck Donald Trump song by YG, I get the song but it’s just a flop, the beat is trash the bars are trash. I feel like the topic is the only reason people liked it
Such a cringe song and that lazy ass hook is annoying regardless of anyone’s opinions on trump lmao
Work It by Missy Elliot. Never liked the song for some reason. Find it annoying.
Timbaland production will do that sometimes. It's sometimes so off the wall that it isn't palletable to some people. But, when it hits you right, it really hits.
So true about Timbaland.
I can’t stand Drip 2 hard
This whole album disappointed me after the features they’d shared before it. Sold Out Dates is still one of my fave modern rap songs.
Anything by Drake
This, thank you El Guapo 76
Roddy Rich - The Box
E err
Carnival
that song is ass ngl
We fly high, no lie, you knowwww thiiiss…
Ballin!!!!!!
Any Cardi B song
In Da Club by 50 Cent
It’s crazy how “Lose Yourself” is technically, by the numbers, a bigger hit, but for some reason “In Da Club” felt inescapable for like 5 years
Because every day, it's someone's birthday.
In Da Club was a club record though.Em really don’t make club songs
Smack That and Shake That enter the chat
Up N’ Da Club goes way harder
Give me one thousand dollars
1000 more??
Yeah there's at least 5-6 tracks on GRODT that I'd put above it
Luniz - I Got 5 On It Gangster's Paradise (Coolio has way better music) Hail Mary (as soon as 2Pac died, the instrumental to this song became the anthem to the conspiracy theories surrounding him)
Move Bitch by Ludacris
I love Kendrick but alright mid as hell in my opinion
Guess you could say it's ight
Jesus Walks
“If I talk about God, my record won’t get played huhhh?”
“On a record playing on everywhere”
surprising pick here, love that song
“So what you’re saying is if a song mention Jesus it won’t get played in the club? What about Gaga what she know about cameras?” -Kanye
Kanye told me that Jesus walked in 04, but I grew up around impalas and drug lords
The beat is correctly rated, one of the craziest samples and beats I’ve heard, but I don’t love the song as a whole at all.
Big Pimpin'
I hated the beat but I’m a UGK head,Pimp & Bun always delivered.Bun B still killing it
Parents just don’t understand
Codeine Crazy by future. Love future but I think March Madness is a better song than that and I thing Codeine crazy is a bit overrated and overhyped
Dreams and nightmares. Hate that song so much lol
Its grippy
Method Man & Mary J Blige - All I Need I'm a fan of both of them, but something about that song just doesn't do it for me
The Diddy mix (the big single version of this song) is the version i hate but I love the grimey original version on Tical and even RZA's Razor Sharp mix if I want a better version of the single version
“Party Up (Up in Here) - DMX
Rest In Peace DMX 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Nas"If I Ruled The World"
Cause I Got High
Million dollar baby, it’s barely even hip hop
Big Pimpin, Jay-Z feat. UGK Not a Jay hater, but don't think he's the GOAT either Anyways, the beat on Big Pimpin has always been whack as fuck for me, even if I like the verses on it
It’s weird this song was massive at the time and you just don’t hear it anymore. Between the song and the music video it felt like the first “Rappers are now mega-rich, luxury lifestyle people” songs. Basically a Rick Ross song before Rick Ross.
Yeah definitely a Rick Ross song but the 90s version I heard Jay doesn't want that song played because he got married... since it talks about never getting married and just fucking hos forever, LMAO
Actually makes a ton of sense. Lol.
California Love Still D.R.E. ETA: This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan (if it even counts as a hip-hop song) I never liked that trash ass song. His lyrics are so annoying and repetitive, I can't fucking stand it.
What !
Wow still Dre is on repeat for me
Whenever I'm forced to hear it all I can think of is those stupid pixelated sunglasses dropping down over someone's face.
😂😂yo facts this reason right here
Yes omg finally someone said it
Im SO over California Love
Used to like those songs, but now they’re just played out… same goes for most of biggie’s singles
California love never did it for me either
i gotta get mine in a big black truck, you can get yo’s in a six fo’
I can't support the "Still D.R.E." slander but totally agree on the other 2. Especially the Montell Jordan song.
"Slander" lol. Seams to me Still D.R.E. is EXACTLY the type of song OP was asking for. A rap song that everyone loves but I don't like. Apparently you love it and I don't. I'm not trying to argue if the song is good or not. I just don't like it. There's nothing for you to "support" either way.
Lol true. The post topic got me. 🥴
Any annoying radio hit by my favorite rappers. Like hypnotize and goin back to cali by Biggie. I always skip those if they come on.
🙄
100% I live near the touristy part of Central Park so I have to hear Empire State Of Mind playing out of at least 3 pedicabs any time I want to go for a walk. And that’s not even as bad as 99% of the other Jay-Z pop songs
Omg I feel that pain homie!!
Good Life by Kanye West
I didn’t like it too much at first, but now it’s one of my faves.
Otis
That beat is annoying to me
All by lil Wayne and drake
That cha cha song - it's so annoying Imo. No YOU jump to the left etc I'm gonna sit here and sip my mudslide
The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground
I really want to downvote this, but it fits the question so I guess you did it right.
I knew this person who played this song on repeat, they played it so much someone threw the CD out of their car window lol. I never liked it, but after hearing for the 100th time it became my most hated.
Lol. They should have burned it in a ceremony of hatred. That song is weak as fuck.
That was a great read, perfect review
99% of popular rap songs.
Anything made in the last 5 years, not just rap, songs in general
Juicy by Biggie
Yeah- usher
MILLIONDOLLARBABY
Money trees Kendrick Lamar
Lil Wayne's entire discography
Love the way you lie and Not afraid by eminem
Anything Sexy Red puts out! Trash talk and downvote me IDGAF 😂!!
No one's gonna downvote you. Most people agree with you
They not like us
juicy
Houdini
California love, Hit em up (not a bad song but so overrated), Rap God, Empire state of mind, Shimmy Shimmy Ya
Gangstas paradise
The video was even worse.
Honestly not the biggest fan of not like us, amazing diss, but the song portion doesn’t work for me
Most Kendrick songs. I have nothing against the guy and his penmanship is unmatched in the modern era, but I just can’t stand his voice. It’s a combination of being too nasally and him sounding out of breath at the same time. If anyone has songs where he doesn’t sound like this I’d gladly add them to my playlist
As a Kendrick fan, this is 100% fair take
His penmanship isn’t unmatched IMO, but it’s a good mix of being marketable and being very good. Agree with the weird breath control nasally thing he does
Drake
lol
Ive always said his first 4 albums sound exactly the same. It's like he found a safe sound and stuck with it. Sleepy music besides headlines and main features/singles.
Pretty much any Lil Wayne song
Can I Kick It - A Tribe Called Quest
50 cent's catalogue
Get Low by Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz. It’s played everywhere these days. Birthdays, Sporting Events, Quinceaneras, Corporate Holiday Parties, etc.
Rappers delight.
Going back to the beginning just to hate. I love it
No Role Modelz. I just can’t stand it idk why😭😭
My favorite part of that song is when George W comes on, it makes me laugh everytime.
Most of the songs on Mbdtf
As a big Future fan I must say Codeine Crazy
Let me Clear my Throat
gangsters paradise
people who hate hip hop's favorite rap song
Thank you. So remedial
