Money is the Motive

Drake, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, and Eminem getting together for a song is a monumental happening. However, “Forever” was horribly disappointing.

These four could probably get together and sing “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and it would still get a ton of radio play. In music today, it’s more about the name than the quality of music. 50 Cent established himself with his first album, “Get Rich Or Die Tryin,” and hasn’t really done anything worth caring about since. However, since his name is now out there, he will always remain relevant. That’s the situation we run into here. It doesn’t matter what these guys do and the actual quality is very minuscule.

Let’s break this song down.

In the hook, we hear Drake singing. His singing capabilities are somewhat respectable, so that’s not the problem at hand. Lyrically, the hook is one of the worst pieces of hot garbage to be released this year.  We have Drake claiming nothing was done for him? Sure, his parents were divorced, and that’s rough, but Drake was raised in one of Toronto’s wealthiest communities in Forest Hill. I’m sure something was done for him. Plus, he’s been riding Lil Wayne’s coattails since 2008.

He then goes on to say he’s shutting shit down in the mall. Which, I’m pretty sure the one to do that was actually Justin Bieber. Maybe Bieber should have sang the hook.

Drake also brags about how he’s telling every girl he’s the one for them but in reality he will never call them. Why do girls love Drake so much when he blatantly shows he’s an asshole to women in all of his songs?

When we finally arrive to Drake’s verse, we get more bragging. The opening line, “last name ever, first name greatest,” is probably the worst opening line in songwriting history. The bragging continues and Drake ends it with telling us we’re lucky to have at least witness his come up and then calls us bitches. Thanks, Drake.

After another round of ear torture, West enters. As a whole, West’s verse is actually not that bad. He goes the opposite route of Drake and instead of completely boasting about being famous, he yearns for the time beforehand. He would even trade it all in to have his granny back. Touching. However, West ruins the entire verse by declaring at the end he doesn’t want fame at all. It’s hard to really believe that because of his ego. No matter what he ever tries telling us, we all know he loves being famous.

Next enters Lil’ Wayne. His persona is quite intriguing, however he is an overrated rapper. It only makes since the most overrated rapper is involved in the most overrated song. He manages to drop an average verse. It’s not his best, and it’s not his worst. There are a couple of very good lines sprinkled in there, but they lose their appeal when he tells us he’s like Nevada in the middle of the summer.

Batting clean-up in the song is Eminem and he knocks it out of the park. Eminem’s verse is the standout in the song. There’s really nothing to complain about him in the song. This verse is essentially a return of form for Eminem as he drops the the weird accent from “Relapse,” and flows like the old Slim Shady we all used to know and love.

It’s not just the verses to complain about. The production on this song is less than stellar. Boi-1da was the man behind the booth on this one and he decided to elicit horns all over the place to annoy us all. How can anyone manage to listen to the song in its entirety with those horns going off? They’re almost as annoying as that tornado siren that goes off as a test on the first Saturday of every month. The beat is so repetitive, by the time the piano part comes in at Lil’ Wayne’s verse, you just don’t care anymore.

All these things together, and you have yourself the most overrated song of the year.

I was not trying to claim this post as mine, it was actually sent by a friend to my email. I just threw it up because I found it interesting. But this post truly does belong to The Urbanian. I apologize if I could not give credit, thanks to one of our readers/critics/viewers who left a comment, I found the right source. Thanks, and once again I am not trying to claim any right over this article.

I really don’t know what to say to all this. First of all, all of them seem like dumb whores, the whole stereotypical messy hair, lip rings, big tits, blonde and dumb look. Yeah, obviously they are whores no matter how nice you are. But Tiger on the other hand, my nigga… there is a thing being a “playa”, and another thing is being a “playboy”. My nigga you were neither, as a matter of fact, your just as much of a WHORE as these girls are. I am sorry if I have offended anyone, but seriously, I don’t give a fuck. This is fucking sad, Tiger is “married, father of 2″. Alright, if you have any sympathy for this guy cuz’ he don’t wear fitteds and rocks golf hats instead and seems like a very classy gentlemen. Fuck you too. And for all you ladies, if you think your going to fuck a rich guy and get his money, maybe you will, or you will just end up as a talked about HO for the rest of your life with a bunch of people, like me, talking shit about your skanky ass on the internet. It’s not that I have nothing better to do, but I want to voice my opinion like the rest of the world about this completely fucked up situation.

Tiger Woods these hoes tryna birdie these balls – Lil Wayne

Weezy playing Nostradamus’ role now, spit a verse couple weeks back before Tiger got busted for his whoring around. Pretty funny. This is the only connection this post had to hip hop so I had to relate it somehow. I am not venting, just blogging.
