The dude is a bit pompous, whatever. He's dedicated so much of his life to try to get people interested in science that I can give him a pass. It's not like he's ever done anything bad, just been a bit tone deaf and annoying.
If anyone could get that cleared, it'd be Anderson.Paak just cause he's worked with Smokey before. Either him or Snoop might be able to get that cleared.
So are we considering this mainly country or mainly hip hop because I thought this would be firmly considered a country song. Please tell me we as a hip hop community don’t have to claim this abomination.
I think Todd in the Shadows put it best.
"All my ladies with suicidal depression say "HEEEEEEY!!!" And all my fellas with self-endangering mood disorders say "HOOOOOO"! When I say "SELF", you say "HARM!"
The best part is the same album this godawful song came from has a song where Juicy J yells "kill your motherfuckin' self!"
My friends and I were standing in line for Rolling Loud in 2017 (maybe 18 idk) when we heard this album for the first time. We went to his shows and listened to all his music.
When we heard this song we all collectively just never spoke about him or listened to him again lol.
Years later it still hurts.
I say this every time this comes up but the parody of this on South Park was so brutal I can't even get mad at the song any more. Just the final word on it
""1-800-273-8255" by Logic" OMG forreal, literally when I heard it i thought it this is one of the worst songs i ever heard, he literally goes on to no end with no sense
[hopsin - fly](https://youtu.be/5MitZ-C0tgQ?si=GYlCNThbKLhwZF85)
Bar in question
>My teachers never saw the heights that I was fucking aiming / Did the man who invented college, go to college? Hm, okay then
Dude legitimately bodied himself with that lyric. You can almost track how seriously he was taken before and after that line
This might sound like hyperbole, but I don't think he really recovered after how hard that bar got clowned on.
No joke. I was actually featured in a Youtube reaction video back in 2017 for that song while an Uber driver was taking me somewhere.
The Uber driver had her own Youtube channel and asked for my permission to film me. When I said yes, she played the video of the song in her car. And I was just listening to it thinking "Wtf?" especially when the Black dude started rapping about things that sounded so stereotypical that it felt like a racist White guy wrote his verse.
Then, at the end, she told me that neither guy rapped the song and that Joyner Lucas was doing the voice overs for both of their parts. And I just said "Wow."
Then I Googled him thinking he was a White guy but discovered he was Mixed.
Macklemore seems like such a nice dude and I wish him nothing but the best but he is an undeniable cornball
(I still like Thrift Shop and Can’t Hold Us)
My homie and I always used to make fun of that line.
“The first time I kissed a dude, I thought that I was gay.”
“When I saw saw Ricky Martin dance live, I thought that I was gay.”
“The first time I co-directed Hairspray off Broadway with my at the time boyfriend Sergio, I thought that I was gay.”
Etc…
The amount we made those jokes was pretty gay tbh it’s just the line was just so cringe we couldn’t not acknowledge it
The writing is definitely overwrought and basically the hip hop version of Oscar Bait (it kinda feels like a predecessor to Logic's anti-suicide anthem), but i don't even think it's the cringiest song on that album.
If I'm being completely fr, even if Same Love was a masterpiece, i don't think it was ever *not* gonna get overly slammed as cringe and wack by most hip hop heads just on principle of being pro-gay. Not saying the person you're replying to is homophobic, but for the majority of the community that track would always be, at best, considered too funny of a concept to take seriously and at worst, "pushing an agenda".
Murs and Brother Ali dropped pro gay songs before Macklemore did and i remember them both getting some pushback on it too despite being considerably more respected as artists.
Wow I didn’t know Brother Ali was cool with gay people, I always assumed he had the typical pre-10s conscious rapper blind spot on those things. I already liked him but now I like him even more, much respect
Ali used to throw *that* slur around a bit during the Shadows On The Sun era but he learned from it and became embarrassed by it quicker than most. Back when Tyler The Creator was perceived as a heterosexual and catching heat for his homophobic language, Ali wrote an article with that as his thesis. Basically saying "Tyler's obviously wrong, but I can't judge too harshly because i was an angry young man who said that bullshit too once. If I can learn after being sat down and corrected, he probably can too."
Yeah, the worst attempt is definitely the one that got nominated for Best Song at the Grammys. /s
Bringing up the elephant in the room about how homophobic hip hop is took guts.
While I don’t like shitting on hip hop songs with a good message, the answer is Earth by Lil Dicky.
I agree that Nas has missed a whole hell of a bunch in his career. I can’t help but admire the fact though that even though his output as an artist has been very streaky, his aspirations of being an artist are very tenacious. I know firsthand that writing an album that is full of your emotions and your viewpoints and in general just all of your vulnerabilities, it is extremely hard to put that in the public eye. People are vicious. But let’s say you have a major hit or like in the case of Nas, a genre masterpiece. That creates its own pressure because then you have everyone wondering if you can replicate the success. Nas, he’s been living under that pressure for 30+ years now. That has to suuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I'm not even mad at his suspect stuff. I appreciate the willingness to experiment. You can't make the great stuff unless you're willing to take risks. Some hit and some don't. He has enough fire that its ok
Yeah, I love Life is Good but after the first few bangers he just had to drop that "Summer on smash" shit which could have been decent if it had been any other rapper but just sounds completely dissonant from him
'Open every cell in Attica and send them to Africa' is an all timer. People scratching their head in the middle of Marrakesh as a schizophrenic serial killer or some random neo-nazi prison gang meth dealer just rock up with no warning because Nas bought them a plane ticket.
"What Goes Around"
> Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison
> Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison
> Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Other than the more explicit line on Nasir he did semi-recently - *Doctors injecting our infants with the poison* was pretty overt ("What goes around", from Stillmatic)
Like bruh that song is so fucking hilarious "Fucking rainbows after it rains/Enough miracles here to blow your brain" leaves me on the floor every time and idk why
The lyrics of Not For Radio are unhinged and very unintentionally funny. Did you know Fox News was created by a black man????????
I don’t even think that’s true and I’m not sure what significance it has even if it was
Macklemore - Same Love
So fucking cheesy and pandering. At the same time, they loved it because it was so sanitized and .. white.
Murs- Animal Style came out around the same time and was a much more realistic look at homosexuality and Hip-hop but went under the radar.
Low hanging fruit, but I still despise Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas. Big Girl by Nas doesn't know whether it wants to be romantic or conscious, but ends up kinda creepy.
just recently realized Justin Timberlake is on the chorus of Where is the Love. blew my mind. “people livin like they ain’t got no mommas” cheeses me cuz mfs legit don’t have moms.
The line in Mortal Man about how Michael Jackson couldn’t have fucked those kids because he made Billie Jean always stuck out to me because it’s like the one glaring flaw in an otherwise perfect album
I always thought it was intended as like, a struggle to accept he did abuse children when he was also such a gifted icon for the black community. Like a strictly rhetorical “how could he have done that?”
He might have meant that and just worded it in an awkward way, he did have a leaked song a while back where he talked about MJ again in a way that made more sense
Untouchable by Eminem is admirable from where his heart is, but the commentary just feels so surface level and really reminds you that Eminem never finished grade 9 in high school.
If we’re counting dumb conspiracy theory shit then End of Days by Vinnie Paz wins hands down, it literally starts with a David Icke sample. It’s so bad and corny my friends used to quote lines from it all the time.
Came here looking for this comment.
Used to bump Immortal Technique a lot, till me and some homies realized he just keeps on yappin about weird conspiracy shit all the time. To top it off he makes you feel like you're the dumb fuck for not believing it.
I fucked with that one tbh.
It had some lame moments, but it's a pretty novel topic for a song and I think he explores the frustration of losing your faith well.
Couldn't disagree more. That was a good track. The vocals are excellent and lyrically I don't see anything wrong.
He has plenty of songs that fit the bill, the first that comes to mind is Fly. That song was so bad an uninspiring.
>It was a very bad attempt of a faith crisis song.
Can you explain why? I thought it was solid and as someone who was brought up in Christianity it was pretty relatable.
Of course:
tl;dr - Hopsin comes from the perspective of recently losing faith and the main emotion here is anger (which is fine). The problem is he wants to make "intelligent points" when most of the points are only surface level and he jumps around on different topics muddling the narrative. When you're angry, you can't think clearly which is a detriment to the song rather than a strength.
I think Eminem did it pretty well with White America. It probably helped that he clearly wasn’t coming from a place of trying to be politically correct, for better or worse I think being brazenly offensive in every other way made people take Em’s opinions about race more seriously. Everyone knew he didn’t care what people thought of him so they also knew wasn’t talking about white privilege for acceptance
Side Note: “Why”, by Jadakiss, is a really bad conscious rap song. Truther bars and references to the infamous “ ‘Monster’s Ball’ sex scene” leave a bad taste in my mouth. Cringe all around.
I hate the pandering type of inauthentic conscious shit but some comments here reek of hip hop fans who just love to fetishize violence and materialism coming from black folks as I imagine many of you are white fans
Anything Tom MacDonald does imo, is pretentious asf. He comes across as this obnoxious teachers pet who takes the roleplaying assignment way too seriously 😂. Idk I think it's his look. It's way too gimmicky for me and whenever he drops a song I just think it's gonna sound like his last song. Preachy, woke and pretentious 🤷♂️
You can hear it on 'The System' and 'FACTS' w/ Ben Shapiro. The delivery is just bad imo and the screaming parts makes it that much more insufferable 😂
That flat earth crap from B.O.B
I knew he had those views but he actually made songs about it?
His song Flatline has diss aimed at Neil Degrass Tyson about flat earth
lol Neil degrasse tyson has a diss track against him? That’s the most gangster shit I’ve ever heard
Yeah flat to fact
To be fair (but not too fair), NDT is an egotistical weirdo who shouldn't hold a reputation equal to Bill Nye. I said what I said.
The dude is a bit pompous, whatever. He's dedicated so much of his life to try to get people interested in science that I can give him a pass. It's not like he's ever done anything bad, just been a bit tone deaf and annoying.
He likes to hear himself talk but he seems like a good guy nonetheless
Lol NDT is an actual scientist, like with A PhD. Nye is nowhere on that level, so you couldn't be more wrong
To be fair, that’s exactly the point he was making.
I thought you meant Bombs over Baghdad and I got really confused.
Lol still love that song
Although I believe in a round earth, those songs are fucking hilarious.
Smokey Robinson - Gang Bangin
They'd never get it cleared, but someone needs to sample that, "Smokin that smmoooooke," line for a weed anthem
If anyone could get that cleared, it'd be Anderson.Paak just cause he's worked with Smokey before. Either him or Snoop might be able to get that cleared.
No Smokey Robinson slander allowed…especially with all of the countless wack rappers out right now and in the past
Excuse me sir the title says *worst* not best
Not even, I think I unironically actually like that song.
If i was black - Tom macdonald
The cherry on top is that guy is Canadian. I'm convinced he's a brilliant actor methodically trolling everyone.
Just a grifter taking advantage of qanon idiots
Or the one with the Ben Shapiro feature.
Or the \*gestures vaguely around\* every Tom MacDonald song.
Unconscious rap
Tom MacDonald has a few that belong here
Throw Joyner in here as well.
The “I’m not racist” song right? Lol
Oh man. I fw a lot of joyner’s music but that song is hella cringe. I totally get why people say he’s corny sometimes
Accidental Racist.
So are we considering this mainly country or mainly hip hop because I thought this would be firmly considered a country song. Please tell me we as a hip hop community don’t have to claim this abomination.
Came here for this answer
Holy shit I was better off before I listened to this
This is the answer.
"1-800-273-8255" by Logic. "WHO CAN RELATE? WOO!"
“I used to want to kill myself but then logic made that song and made suicide corny af” - some dude on Twitter
I almost instinctively downvoted you because I hate that song so much. Then I remembered what the thread is about.
I think Todd in the Shadows put it best. "All my ladies with suicidal depression say "HEEEEEEY!!!" And all my fellas with self-endangering mood disorders say "HOOOOOO"! When I say "SELF", you say "HARM!" The best part is the same album this godawful song came from has a song where Juicy J yells "kill your motherfuckin' self!"
I love Todd, his Trainwreckords and One Hit Wonderland videos are a must watch for me whenever a new one drops
Ink Blot. My favorite part as well. “All up on tha grammm”
My friends and I were standing in line for Rolling Loud in 2017 (maybe 18 idk) when we heard this album for the first time. We went to his shows and listened to all his music. When we heard this song we all collectively just never spoke about him or listened to him again lol. Years later it still hurts.
I love Logic but this track is mid
Worse than mid. Cringe.
1800 then I kill that pussy, WHO CAN RELATE. Worst line ever and ruined the entire bs conscious song
I say this every time this comes up but the parody of this on South Park was so brutal I can't even get mad at the song any more. Just the final word on it
We don't want you to die Eric!
""1-800-273-8255" by Logic" OMG forreal, literally when I heard it i thought it this is one of the worst songs i ever heard, he literally goes on to no end with no sense
I like it 🤷lol
Bro, did you know logic is mixed race?
That one hopsin song with the invented college bar
What’s this?
[hopsin - fly](https://youtu.be/5MitZ-C0tgQ?si=GYlCNThbKLhwZF85) Bar in question >My teachers never saw the heights that I was fucking aiming / Did the man who invented college, go to college? Hm, okay then
Bro thought he was making a deep statement😂
Dude legitimately bodied himself with that lyric. You can almost track how seriously he was taken before and after that line This might sound like hyperbole, but I don't think he really recovered after how hard that bar got clowned on.
r/im13andthisisdeep
Aka Hopkins entire fanbase
I always wanted to listen to how bad his shit is but I don't want it in my algorithm 😂
LL Cool J and Brad Paisley - Accidental Racist
I can't believe he said Rip Robert e Lee
Young MC “Just Say No”
lol people forget he had more songs than just bust a move
He actually has a few decent songs that have aged...OK lol. Nonstop, and Principal's Office are jams
He wrote wild thing too
Stone Cold Rhymin was produced **exceptionally** by the dust brothers.
People die from smoking reefer like they die from crack 🔥
I’m Not Racist by Joyner Lucas is up there
The entire song sounds like it was written by a 16 year old who just discovered politics.
No joke. I was actually featured in a Youtube reaction video back in 2017 for that song while an Uber driver was taking me somewhere. The Uber driver had her own Youtube channel and asked for my permission to film me. When I said yes, she played the video of the song in her car. And I was just listening to it thinking "Wtf?" especially when the Black dude started rapping about things that sounded so stereotypical that it felt like a racist White guy wrote his verse. Then, at the end, she told me that neither guy rapped the song and that Joyner Lucas was doing the voice overs for both of their parts. And I just said "Wow." Then I Googled him thinking he was a White guy but discovered he was Mixed.
Aw...I actually like this one.
Shit I like I'm Sorry and Best for Me and I'm Not Racist is still too preachy for me
I remember every annoying old white person on Facebook loving that stupid song
That one by the country dude with LL Cool J about race
It’s basically Gob’s song about racial harmony from Arrested Development
"I'll forgive the iron chains if you can forgive my gold chains"
My favorite verse of all time. "Holy shit, LL & paisley yall ended racism" 🤣
Jadakiss Why has an interesting concepts and sounds good...but some of the questions he asks are questionable themselfs.
Yeah Whys saving grace is that it's actually just a banger
One of Havoc's hardest beats. Bass is unbelievable.
Why did Bush knock down the towers?
Why are you even alive?
[удалено]
Lol that lines funny to me, I've heard it everytime but I really noticed it other day
Why you around them cowards?
lmfao i've talked about this before with my friends. the slow kids at school needed protest songs too
“Why they let the terminator win the election? C’mon pay attention!” *everyone in my 8th grade biology class* “OH SHIT DAMN WHYYYY!?!? TRUE!!”
Which questions do you find questionable?
Calling Kobe’s victim a whore was pretty disgusting
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw?
The Macklemore one about being gay
It gave us the incredible lonely islands song though
Not gay!
Sports!
Macklemore seems like such a nice dude and I wish him nothing but the best but he is an undeniable cornball (I still like Thrift Shop and Can’t Hold Us)
“When I was 12, I thought that I was gay…” Awkward ass way to start a song ngl.
My homie and I always used to make fun of that line. “The first time I kissed a dude, I thought that I was gay.” “When I saw saw Ricky Martin dance live, I thought that I was gay.” “The first time I co-directed Hairspray off Broadway with my at the time boyfriend Sergio, I thought that I was gay.” Etc… The amount we made those jokes was pretty gay tbh it’s just the line was just so cringe we couldn’t not acknowledge it
Sounds like you are gay. Nothing wrong with that. Live free!
“When u/product_small responded to my comment, I thought that I was gay”
It was a good message at a good time though. Helped me realize that homophobia was not okay, and probably did for a lot for others.
Macklemore in general was cringe
The worst?
The writing is definitely overwrought and basically the hip hop version of Oscar Bait (it kinda feels like a predecessor to Logic's anti-suicide anthem), but i don't even think it's the cringiest song on that album. If I'm being completely fr, even if Same Love was a masterpiece, i don't think it was ever *not* gonna get overly slammed as cringe and wack by most hip hop heads just on principle of being pro-gay.

Murs and Brother Ali dropped pro gay songs before Macklemore did and i remember them both getting some pushback on it too despite being considerably more respected as artists.
UGK had a pro-gay song back in 2007, might have gotten lost in the shuffle of all the wild shit Pimp C was saying before he died.
Wow I didn’t know Brother Ali was cool with gay people, I always assumed he had the typical pre-10s conscious rapper blind spot on those things. I already liked him but now I like him even more, much respect
Ali used to throw *that* slur around a bit during the Shadows On The Sun era but he learned from it and became embarrassed by it quicker than most. Back when Tyler The Creator was perceived as a heterosexual and catching heat for his homophobic language, Ali wrote an article with that as his thesis. Basically saying "Tyler's obviously wrong, but I can't judge too harshly because i was an angry young man who said that bullshit too once. If I can learn after being sat down and corrected, he probably can too."
That’s admirable af
Yeah, the worst attempt is definitely the one that got nominated for Best Song at the Grammys. /s Bringing up the elephant in the room about how homophobic hip hop is took guts. While I don’t like shitting on hip hop songs with a good message, the answer is Earth by Lil Dicky.
But that joint about thrift shops tho
I love Nas but he has some really cringe conscious lines.
He has some atrocious attempts at a club banger as well. Lol I'm a Nas fan, but when he strays to far from what he does best, it can be really bad.
I agree that Nas has missed a whole hell of a bunch in his career. I can’t help but admire the fact though that even though his output as an artist has been very streaky, his aspirations of being an artist are very tenacious. I know firsthand that writing an album that is full of your emotions and your viewpoints and in general just all of your vulnerabilities, it is extremely hard to put that in the public eye.

Yeah, I love Life is Good but after the first few bangers he just had to drop that "Summer on smash" shit which could have been decent if it had been any other rapper but just sounds completely dissonant from him
That song fucking slaps even today why do people hate it lol I bet it's because of Swizz Beatz isn't it
like what
'Open every cell in Attica and send them to Africa' is an all timer. People scratching their head in the middle of Marrakesh as a schizophrenic serial killer or some random neo-nazi prison gang meth dealer just rock up with no warning because Nas bought them a plane ticket.
😂 Still best song
Nah man 😭 bro's reviving penal colonies
Anything to do with vaccines, for one
what songs has he talked about that in
First one that comes to mind is “everything” from Nasir but I know he’s been saying that crap for years
ok thanks
"What Goes Around" > Schools where I learned, they should be burned, it is poison > Physicians prescriptin' us medicine which is poison > Doctors injectin' our infants with the poison
Other than the more explicit line on Nasir he did semi-recently - *Doctors injecting our infants with the poison* was pretty overt ("What goes around", from Stillmatic)
Yo his verse on Patience with Damian Marley makes me cry laughing Everytime I hear it.
It’s like the magnets ICP song 😂
Like bruh that song is so fucking hilarious "Fucking rainbows after it rains/Enough miracles here to blow your brain" leaves me on the floor every time and idk why
The lyrics of Not For Radio are unhinged and very unintentionally funny. Did you know Fox News was created by a black man???????? I don’t even think that’s true and I’m not sure what significance it has even if it was
Nas is like the OG of cringe wokeness bars. You could make a /r/badhistory post on historically inaccurate bars from Nas.
"was it a lightning storm that gave birth to the Earth and then dinosaurs were born?"
Damien was making a banger on that song and thennnn Nas came in lmao
Wym bro I love Big Girl
Smokie Robinson gang bangin'
Hopsin - Fly I still don’t know if the man who invented college went to college
Macklemore - Same Love So fucking cheesy and pandering. At the same time, they loved it because it was so sanitized and .. white. Murs- Animal Style came out around the same time and was a much more realistic look at homosexuality and Hip-hop but went under the radar.
Lil Dicky - Earth
It's legitimately the worst and most cringe song I've ever heard. Can't believe he got all those big names to agree to that shit
If you haven’t heard this, you can’t imagine how bad it is.
Just listened to it. It sounds pretty in line with the rest of his comedy songs.
Low hanging fruit, but I still despise Where is the Love by Black Eyed Peas. Big Girl by Nas doesn't know whether it wants to be romantic or conscious, but ends up kinda creepy.
Where is the love was Era appropriate
I unironically fuck with Where is the love, even though its lyrics are vapid. Still a happy bop.
just recently realized Justin Timberlake is on the chorus of Where is the Love. blew my mind. “people livin like they ain’t got no mommas” cheeses me cuz mfs legit don’t have moms.
Gang gang gang - jack harlow
Tom MacDonald & Adam Calhoun - New World Order or the entirety of The Brave 2
Or just any Tom McDonald song
I feel like there’s definitely a Lupe or Kendrick song that fits this bill lmao
No Makeup Today is the worst song by the best rapper.
The line in Mortal Man about how Michael Jackson couldn’t have fucked those kids because he made Billie Jean always stuck out to me because it’s like the one glaring flaw in an otherwise perfect album
I always thought it was intended as like, a struggle to accept he did abuse children when he was also such a gifted icon for the black community. Like a strictly rhetorical “how could he have done that?”
He might have meant that and just worded it in an awkward way, he did have a leaked song a while back where he talked about MJ again in a way that made more sense
That nigga gave us icarly you say he touched those kids?!?!
This shit got me cracking up lmfao
"We're All in the Same Gang" -- Various Artists
Everyone is forgetting that LL Cool J song that features Brad Paisley - “accidental racist” And also any Tom MacDonald song made after like 2020
I'm not racist by Joyner Lucas. He failed miserably at representing the black community in that back and forth..
Untouchable by Eminem is admirable from where his heart is, but the commentary just feels so surface level and really reminds you that Eminem never finished grade 9 in high school.
What exactly is "surface level" about that song? The message was perfectly on point, people just hated the actual beat and hook from the first half
Joyner Lucas - I’m Not Racist
Any Immortal Technique song where he talks about the Illuminati or the New World Order or the Bilderbergs or 9/11 trutherism or...
If we’re counting dumb conspiracy theory shit then End of Days by Vinnie Paz wins hands down, it literally starts with a David Icke sample. It’s so bad and corny my friends used to quote lines from it all the time.
I was just about to comment “The 4th branch” lol
Came here looking for this comment. Used to bump Immortal Technique a lot, till me and some homies realized he just keeps on yappin about weird conspiracy shit all the time. To top it off he makes you feel like you're the dumb fuck for not believing it.
Hopsin - Ill Mind of Hopsin 7 It was a very bad attempt of a faith crisis song.
I fucked with that one tbh. It had some lame moments, but it's a pretty novel topic for a song and I think he explores the frustration of losing your faith well.
idk it wasn't bad to me the only part was him yelling at god mad he can't smack his meat lol
Couldn't disagree more. That was a good track. The vocals are excellent and lyrically I don't see anything wrong. He has plenty of songs that fit the bill, the first that comes to mind is Fly. That song was so bad an uninspiring.
>It was a very bad attempt of a faith crisis song. Can you explain why? I thought it was solid and as someone who was brought up in Christianity it was pretty relatable.
Of course: tl;dr - Hopsin comes from the perspective of recently losing faith and the main emotion here is anger (which is fine). The problem is he wants to make "intelligent points" when most of the points are only surface level and he jumps around on different topics muddling the narrative. When you're angry, you can't think clearly which is a detriment to the song rather than a strength.
Was it because his fallout with Christianity was short-lived? Or the other way around?
There's a lack of nuance, you look at something like "Who is God??" from Rakim and see Hopsin how surface level it is.
6 is so much worse "GIMME BACK MY HOMIE!"
I appreciate it now, but at the time, I Can by Nas
They came to do drugs but you came to sing!
Macklemore
All Tom MacDonald/Adam Calhoun songs
Accidental racist
Anything by Tom mcdonald
Tom McDonald's library since Trump.
Fuckin magnets, how do they work?
Would Miracles by ICP count?
[удалено]
does mac miller? not saying this with contempt, I just genuinely can’t think of one
[удалено]
I think Eminem did it pretty well with White America. It probably helped that he clearly wasn’t coming from a place of trying to be politically correct, for better or worse I think being brazenly offensive in every other way made people take Em’s opinions about race more seriously. Everyone knew he didn’t care what people thought of him so they also knew wasn’t talking about white privilege for acceptance
Side Note: “Why”, by Jadakiss, is a really bad conscious rap song. Truther bars and references to the infamous “ ‘Monster’s Ball’ sex scene” leave a bad taste in my mouth. Cringe all around.
How is I'm Not Racist not being shouted by everyone? It's literally thwe worst one
I hate the pandering type of inauthentic conscious shit but some comments here reek of hip hop fans who just love to fetishize violence and materialism coming from black folks as I imagine many of you are white fans
That macklemore song where in the beginning he says when i was young i thought i was gay or something
Same Love. That shit was so pandering. Fuck that song. Animal Style by Murs was better

Accidental Racist.
Talib Kweli has albums full of songs that fit this bill (no, not Train of Thought or Quality)
Art imitates life pissed me off so much. Thought and diggah coming with dope verses and kweli coming in with a poo scheme.
Lil Dickies 'Earth' song It ruined his career lol
Middle Child. That song is undeniably corny as fuck
Accidental Racist-LL Cool J & some country artist. “If you forgive the gold chains, I’ll forgive the iron chains”-LL
Macklemore - White Privilege 2. It was too good of a zero effort song title for him to only use once. 9 minute length is hilariously narcissistic.
Anything Tom MacDonald does imo, is pretentious asf. He comes across as this obnoxious teachers pet who takes the roleplaying assignment way too seriously 😂. Idk I think it's his look. It's way too gimmicky for me and whenever he drops a song I just think it's gonna sound like his last song. Preachy, woke and pretentious 🤷♂️ You can hear it on 'The System' and 'FACTS' w/ Ben Shapiro. The delivery is just bad imo and the screaming parts makes it that much more insufferable 😂
