This applies only to the hip-hop heads on this board, though there may be few:
Man, if I never hear another track lauding "CHI TOWN CAN YA HEAR ME!" or "O-TOWN BE ROCKIN!" or "MUCH LOVE TO PHILLY!"
Alright, we get it, your music is enjoyed across the country, and in some cases, the world. No kidding, so is every other freakin' genre. Yes, we can all hear you. Yes, we're all rocking. Yes, we appreciate your love. Stop throwing out random city or state names.

Dre and Snoop popularized it and everyone else kept doing it just to fill up album space.Jocephus wrote:when i first couple lines of this rant, this is actually what i was thinking of...it is some odd tradition i dont get...Maclowery wrote:

I always liked this line:

There is nothing more obnoxious than someone like DJ Drama or DJ Khaled screaming over a track about some [expletive] that nobody cares about. That's the most obnoxious thing in rap/hip-hop.

Oh my God, that's so terrible. It's on T Pain's "Karaoke," too. DJ Khaled just runs his mouth the entire time and ruins what is actually a pretty good track.editor wrote:I've only heard that in mixtapes.PujolJunkie wrote:There is nothing more obnoxious than someone like DJ Drama or DJ Khaled screaming over a track about some [expletive] that nobody cares about.
