Dipset put out so much really, really bad music but they were somehow huge in the 2000s. But does it really count as a hit song when it only got 7000 views in 13 years lmao

I know it existed because I saw it on television.
It was on the us billboard hiphop/R&B

Summer Girls by LFO is up there. Includes the completely non-sequitur line “Chinese food makes me sick” which is just bizarre and makes me think they’re picky eaters? Who hates Chinese food?

Also appears to have been written by bullies for bullies “I’ll steal your honey like I stole your bike”

Just a trash song from a trash boy band

Edit: lol even Wikipedia mentions the odd lyrics including:

"you're the best girl that I ever did see/the great Larry Bird, jersey 33" and "fell deep in love, but now we ain't speakin'/Michael J. Fox was Alex P. Keaton".

And nowadays one of the members appears on Fox News. That sounds about right.

Yeah I think im gonna echo blurred lines. Not only was it bad and rapey it was also extremely overplayed. A lot of this stuff was but god drat that song was everywhere in 2012 or 13 or whenever it was.

It's up there with that song that goes "BABY! WHY DON'T YOU JUST MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE!? I'M LOSIN' MY MIND JUST A LITTLE!" that people played CONSTANTLY EVERYWHERE ALL THE GODDAMN TIME, LIKE 40 OR 50 TIMES A DAY EVERY DAY in 2018. Which also belongs on this list because of how egregiously overplayed it was.

I saw MC Chris live a few times and it was an entertaining show. I would never listen to his music as music but the shows were more like standup comedy where some jokes were silly raps. I guess that's why he was the only artist in the whole genre with any real success though. Or at least however much being involved with some adult swim cartoons can count as success.

What's also funny about nerdcore to me is that modern rap is nerdy as gently caress with rappers referencing anime and videogames constantly but it's actually good because it's not music about being a nerd, it's just artists including their nerdy interests in their otherwise good (or not) music.

I heard his album nerdcore rising.
His rapping is interesting because it is like listening to electricity travel through a circuit board.
it's got this choppy-angular -stop-and-go style. It's neat.

But outside of that, it just feels like he is coping stuff he heard on the radio superficially, like a nerdy Brokencyde.

It's rare that I come across youtube links that I am too afraid to click on, but I will never know what those two link to, they might both be Rick Rolls, I'll never see them. "Incel Core and Gamer Gate the album" is the most terrifying sentence I've read in awhile.

Serious answer, Butterfly is the most embarrassing hit because it’s a half-assed rap over top of a hook from a band that is much more competent at half-assed rap. Plus the front man is named Shifty Shellshock and he still calls himself that as a guy in his forties.
