Why This Song Sucks: The Worst Rap Tracks of 2012


6. Flo Rida, "Whistle"

---------

Dear Flo Rida,

Sincerely,

S

---------

Record Exec: Freddie Gibbs? Look, rap music is just too aggressive and misogynistic and can be too hard to package to a global market, which is really what we want to do here. What else ya got?

Other Record Exec: Well, there's Flo Rida.

Record Exec: What's his deal?

Other Record Exec: He has this song we can push. It's called "Whistle." It's entirely uncreative and bland and EXACTLY the sort of thing that will get 170,000,000 brainless views on YouTube.

Record Exec: "Whistle"? Like, "blow my whistle" or something?

Other Record Exec: Yes.

Record Exec: So, it's about whistling but really it's just this guy telling girls to suck his cock over and over again?

Other Record Exec: ...Yes.

Record Exec: I'm in.

5. Nicki Minaj, "Pound The Alarm"

---------

Dear Nicki,

Sincerely,

S

Because she got away with "Stupid Hoe"? I guess Peter Rosenberg was right. :/

I almost took you dissing lil b seriously, until i looked at your "the best rap singles of 2012" and saw swimming pools at number one. hahahah I'd rather listen to keke purrrr so hard than listen to that lame ass hook.

Lil b is making history, and i don't think you are ready for it.

Shouldn't it be "these songs" not "this songs"? Am I missing some kind of irony or is the editing at LA Weekly that pathetic?

@SheaSerrano @LAWeeklyMusic Life is too short and joyless to hate on "Cashin' Out."

@AUgetoffmygold @SheaSerrano But this kind of hating is full of joy and actually extends life and helps one afford condos-on-wrists

@LAWeeklyMusic @SheaSerrano I will need to see proper documentation of this before I accept this explanation.
