Subject: Unrealistic Music boasts... can you think of some examples?
Written By: ChuckyG on 11/01/05 at 5:28 pm
I'm thinking of a section listing all the boasts singers (especially rappers) make in song...
"I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred for example is nothing but boasts such as "I'm too sexy for Mylan"
or real old school, "Rapper's Delight" features "ya see i got more clothes than Muhammad Ali"
how do we really know that?
I don't listen to rap music, but from what little I have heard, I assume most rappers make wild eyed claims in at least a few of their songs.
Can people think of more examples?

How about this one (from "Mama said knock you out" by LL Cool J)
"Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon"
...yeah, whatever! ::)

What about "I'm no faker and I ain't a phoney/I've got more flava than a packet of macaroni?" - Bomb the Bass, Bugpowder Dust.

Yeah, I can, but I seriously doubt anyone wants to know how large one member of 2Live Crew claimed his genitalia was.
