What do you consider bad lyrics?
>>
>>65578159
Forced rhymes, cheesy metaphors, cliche analogies, and lyrics that generally don't seem to have anything important to say.

what 311 does

>>65580584
I'd remove the Lyrics that don't have much to say part as those are only mediocre and never actually detract from a song.

I can't tell if these are good of bad lyrics
i mean at first it sounds like forced sadness
but later he admits that in the lyrics
and you're reminded that even tho it's trivial, it real.
i still think its kinda shit tho.
>>
this is what i consider bad lyrics:
[Chorus:]
I done put two sticks in my bun
So they recognize me when I come
I'm D-M-C like Run
Listen mami I'm the muthafuckin one

[Verse:]
You don't like me you just like my flow
Just booked a show but I might not go
Nigga said he didn't have a pole for my hoe
Damn why a nigga tryna fuck up my dough
When it come to me it be like they go
They tell me to stop but I'm like hell no
Now everybody watch my M-O
Nicki been hot since you rock shell tops
Yessir

Ha ha ha ha
Gotta laugh at that
Bitch give me the ball I'm a pass it back
Spit nothin but crack got bags of that
When it come to rap I master that

[Chorus:]
I done put two sticks in my bun
So they recognize me when I come
I'm D-M-C like Run
Listen mami I'm the muthafuckin one
I done put two sticks in my bun
So they recognize me when I come
I'm D-M-C like Run
Listen mami I'm the muthafuckin one

[Verse:]
You can spot me from a mile away
Nicki sexy any time of day
Word on the street is that I'm chinese
No lil mama I'm just high off haze
Don't fuck a dude if a dude don't pay
Don't suck a dude if a dude dirty
When it come to you gotta look purty
Sit up in the groove get your weave curly, hey
Sim simma
Pass me the keys to my beemer
Wish I had a booty like Trina
Nigga get your green up
Stay in the sky like Nina
Flights to Japan, Tiran and Korea

[Chorus:]
I done put two sticks in my bun
So they recognize me when I come
I'm D-M-C like Run
Listen mami I'm the muthafuckin one
I done put two sticks in my bun
So they recognize me when I come
I'm D-M-C like Run
Listen mami I'm the muthafuckin one

What do you consider valuable?
>>
>>65580922
what the fuck
Pretty sure my phone's word prediction software could shit out better lyrics.
>>
I wish I found some better sounds no one’s ever heard,
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words,
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new,
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
>>
yeah i smoke a molly
then i raise my molly water
i got a molly
cake in my rari
that's ferrari fuck nigga
i got two bars a song, like phone ringing
i got two bars of gold, now my phone singing
all this money in the air, distillate
fistulate my dick into your girlfriends pustilate
yakk
>>
>>65580922
>I'll see you when I get there
>But until we get there

That's not how rhyming works
>>
>>65580816
but Breaking The Girl is top tier and I Could Have Lied and My Lovely Man are pretty good too
>>
>>65581018One example that comes to mind are those vapid songs about love and wanting a gf/bf just for the sake of it, or generally being a creep or an idiot because is "romantic". Or even those cringy heartbreak songs. Really, it's like if they've never met an actual person before.

There are lot of other examples, but a take this one because it has become very jarring to me in the last years.

BUT SOMEBODY STOLE MY WACK METAPHOR AND NOW I HAVE PRODUCERS MESH TERRIBLE REGGAE, MY WHINY VOICE, AND GARBAGE INSTRUMENTALS INTO OVER-PRODUCED GARBAGE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR RADIO PLEBS WHO WANT TO SAY "MAN I LOVE THESE GUYS, ALL THEIR SONGS ARE GOOD CAUSE THEY'RE ALL THE SAME AND THE DRUMMING IS GOOD TOO"
>>
>>65581255
oh yeah how did I forget

actually so many of RHCP lyrics are great, but their singles or hit songs are usually just party jams with meaningless lyrics
>>
>>65581306
some of them sound like shit some tumblr blog would put on a picture trying to be deep
"Dark Necessities are part of my design"
Then a picture of a sunset or some shit
>>
It really depends on the genre eg pop lyrics don't need to be le deep and pink lyrics don't need to le catchy

Out of bed and out of breath
My coffee tastes like medicine
Webmd says I might have the cancer
Too afraid to know, I do
Have critters living by
In the vicinity and
My clothes smell like old
This room is cold, my dreams are old
But I'm too keen of my
Do's and Mi's
To let it slip
I'm not complete

I dislike anything that's as self-indulgent as this:

"I wish I could be the one,
the one who won't care at all
But being the one on the stand,
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
I know it's hard to fall.
Confined in me was your heart
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
>>
>>65581245
Also there are few things as vapid and devoid of value as bragaddocio rap lyrics.
>>
pussy money weed, need a honey and some gs
ain't it funny how I be cause I smoked a pound of weed
now pass the crown to me cause I got something to prove
I got notin to lose when I'm clutching the ooze
>>
>>65583239
Yes, but what else is there left to sing about?
Pussy, money, weed - is all a nigga need.
Or you could sing about the absence of those things.
>>
I don't know. I listen to music for the music, not the lyrics or the voice.
I fucking hate singing 99% of the time in music in fact, and simply ignore it.
I don't know a single lyric by memory, not a single song. I just don't give a fuck about it.
Feels funny now that i think about it.
>>
>>65583270
Shit, I don't know, anything else? There's a lot to sing about if you're not a basic aswaffle.

Yep.

>>65583363
Fuck man, do you genuinely believe that if your lyrics aren't telling other people how much weed you smoke or how rich you are you're a pseudo-intellectual?

Goddamn, you can sing about anything you want, lyrics can be just straight up poetry or describing what happened to you last Tuesday, not everything has to be a dick measuring contest.

Bad lyrics have no meaning or are genuinely nonsensical.

>Fuck man, do you genuinely believe that if your lyrics aren't telling other people how much weed you smoke or how rich you are you're a pseudo-intellectual?
Yes.

>Goddamn, you can sing about anything you want
Singing about anything except being a wanton immoral reckless idiot is pseudo-intellectualism.
Cry about it.

Whoa there man, your fedora is vibrating.

>>65583482
Truly now I see the error of my ways.

Nothing but the finest of trees to smoke for me from now on, and asses the size of a moon each buttock, asses the size you could never touch in your life because you are so poor, so much poorer than me, and your dick is also smaller than mine.

or except just in general, and you're wrong, right?

>>65583712
dadaist lyrics are fucking stupid. just because it's nonsensical on purpose does not excuse it from criticism.

What I appreciate in lyrics, is the ability to describe simple things with beautiful words.

Shitty half rhymes.
>girl; world
>mine; time
>decrepit; sandpit
shit like that

the first two lines are good though
