It just wreaks of "I couldn't think of something witty to put here." And, might I say the most impactive (there's no such word as "impactful") lyrics are those that are powerfully communicated? The best hip-hop artists don't have to result to endless profanity and/or offensiveness to get the point across. Strong language can be used similar to instrumental dynamics: To hit that high point and then decrescendo from there. If it's "******" after "******", then it's no better than a heavy metal band with no dynamics. There's a good reason why The Roots, Saul Williams, and Blackalicious are often cited as being some of the best hip-hop artists on the planet.

the bold line relates with the line after it and the point he was making. I see what youre saying about profanity and i agree, but technique has a lot more substance and isn't just spewing expletives just to spew them.

I just love the 'nang nang nang nang' in 'Around The World' by RHCP no matter how pathetic it is.

In reply to the Sir Mix-A-Lot selection, that song is sheer genius, Lloyd.

The pitch for Crazy Bitch reminded me of an equally worthless song in Big House's Dollar In My Pocket.

Here's a sample:
"Ooh, come along. I've got a dollar in my pocket for you."

Who says, "come along" in a rock song?

I'm just playing devils advocate here, it probably is a newly defined word.

[Vicious Tyrant]

You know what's really STUPID?!

When Jimi Hendrix sings "'scuse me while I kiss this guy"! Come on, that's gross!!! WTH? That's messed up!1!

Or when Steve Miller sings "Big ole jet had a light on". Come on, why would a jet have a light on? Why would I care? Weeeeeak.

Or when the Clash sings "Rock the cash box". Puh-leeeze, is that the best you can do? Leave the cash box alone and sing a song. Duh.

Man, clearly these artists are really stupid......

Funny, because Immortal Technique is Peruvian.

Anyway, the following lyrical gem is brought to us by DMX:

"I got blood on my hands and there's no remorse
I got blood on my dick cuz I ****ed a corpse"

It would be hard to single out just one song for bad lyrics in the vast, bad lyric, KMFDM library, but this has got to rank among them

Divine inspiration
Total disillusion
Instant consecration
Mind and body fusion
Frontal assault on the seven senses
Orgasmic waste
Eccentric and pretentious

KMFDM doin' it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
Are you ready for this?
We don't care

Deified dada
Hard but true
Godlike nonsense
Being thrown at you

We keep simple
Tough and outright
Easy to swallow
KMFDM light

KMFDM doin' it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
Are you ready for this?
We don't care

In a world of deceit, open your eyes
What we do for you so good for you
Don't be afraid and you realize
What you do for me so good for me

One way or another
Now or later
Bow down and worship
The true creator

Musik ist Macht
Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm
Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und
Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt
Der Helden Riff ist der Froschfresser
Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan
Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an Deinem Gehirn
Keiner Macht für Dich mehr

Take a good plunge
Stand out from the masses
Bend over backwards and
Kick some asses

In a world of deceit, open your eyes
What we do for you so good for you
Don't be afraid and you realize
What you do for me so good for me

KMFDM doin' it again
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
Don't be afraid and you realize

Call 1-800
Accept no imitations
KMFDM one world - one nation

What we do for you so good for you
What you do for me so good for me
So good
What we do for you so good for you
What you do for me so good for me
So-so good
For you
For me
So good for you
So good for me
For you

good one

 

[DJShadow]

I've wondered for the longest whether Jimi sung 'scuse me while kiss the sky' or 'scuse me while kiss this guy'. Either way was appropriate because he was stoned out of his head. I reckon its the former.

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Don’t believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park Yo. cut it. Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (double barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber ’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing You can’t write if you can’t relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite who's chokin’ on the splinters Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (drive-by body-pierce) (yo bring it on down) Soooooooyy.... ?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I rodedrep nu yoS [You can hear hear it if you reverse it.] (I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

IIRC the band themselves have even said this song means absolutely nothing. Catchy, though

 

[jjhatfield]

In defense of IT, I think almost any rapper runs out of clever ways to say the same thing eventually. But give "Cause of Death" a listen, it always gives me chills. Way intense.

But these are without a doubt, the dumbest lyrics ever in the world history:

I mean What is that, japanese or something. stupid mozart.
