GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

oof, i did just get to the ain't no mountain part though, ow

wow that's weird. it almost sounds like one of those "brian williams rapping" youtube videos

Done on such a shoestring budget you can actually tell where he vocal takes have been cut up and pasted together.

I read this and assumed some amateur had put together a 'cover' by chopping up syllables from old Aretha vocals and sticking them together with autotune. Didn't really notice this wasn't actually the case till I got to the chorus.

Yeah just b/c aretha is a legend doesn't mean she can't fall flat every now and again. The cover is dreadful.

I guess we're finally immune to Karmin.

oh my god when she starts singing "no flex zone" ughhhhhhhhh

why did click on that?

I deserve what I get

why did I click on that, rather

Watsky's flow is like Eminem at his annoyingest crossed with MC Paul Barman at his, er, anythingest

Also repeating "the beat bump like an ingrown hair" a half-dozen times = ugh

okay, this is not THE WORST if only by dint of its sheer overwhelming wtf'ness but prepare yourself for herb alpert's dubstep reimagining of "Chattanooga Choo Choo"

I still lol every time the "Rude" guitar solo comes on, btw

That Alpert thing is so terrible. Yikes.

lol i listened to that alpert album. it's kind of enjoyably bad

it is! ostentatiously so. like bad enough that my gf explicitly asked me to put on headphones and she puts up with all manner of horrible music from me.

...I like this

brb quitting music-opinions-having forever

"enjoyably bad" = i like it

i can't quite commit to "liking it" but it's kind of mind boggling
get it on the jukebox kat

Shocked that nobody's linked to this yet here.

not so much bad as just utterly unnecessary. i promptly put on the langley schools version and it still sounds better.

Yeah, not listening to that.

close thread with that fallon/will.i.am joint

close music

Seeing Questlove in it made me kinda sad.

imagine how he feels

i bet he's pretty bummed out with his high profile, good money steady gig and total artistic freedom for the roots

nightly performances on television, international renown, multi-millionaire, total respect within his industry and by everyone outside of it
if anyone can be said to have won hip hop, it's questo
but yeah, sometimes you gotta let will.i.am dress up like a child and dance
thus is fame

side note but i don't think i've told this story on ilx and it's a favorite: i was working a couple of years ago on a free live show with j!mmy cl!ff. Cl!ff is a fairly important artist in my world; I grew up with 'the h@rder they come' lp on heavy repeat through my preteens and i mean, cmon, it's j!mmy cl!ff. i was super excited about this show and then it "sold out" i.e. the house filled up and they closed the doors. then everybody who couldn't get in through the main gate came over to the VIP/press entrance to beg their case and try to slip in. so that had me missing most of the show because I had to deal with the fallout and individual arguments; try to nicely talk down a lot of very very angry folks who demanded we go get cliff so he could see that his cousin's friend was here and how dare we not let them in, don't we know who they are, etc. Like maybe two hours of that nonstop. After awhile you just wear down being the person whose job it is to say no. So I finally escape when they shut down the VIP gate and wander up to the stage, kinda exhausted and out of it and not even caring anymore. then, just as I walk into the pit, cl!ff is between songs and I imagine it was a lucky coincidence but he more or less wanders right over to where i sat down and starts in on many rivers to cross, ten feet away, more or less sung directly to me. i was dumbstruck, it completely caught me off guard, one of those times where the music and the moment completely demolishes you. and then i noticed about twenty seconds into the song that he had the fly on his red velour trousers wide open. Like really wide open, unmistakably so. And I think the metaphor there is true of what fame is: you can be the coolest guy in the world, beloved by an entire country, singing your signature song to a sold out crowd of thousands and still, hey, your fly is open.
it was a great show btw

man you really don't want j̛̙̻̫̋̓!̛̺̜͈ͥ̑̔̇̍ͅm̩͇̜̮͎̆͒̅̍̏m̗̘̜̗̒̿͋͡y̶̩̠̖̥̲͇̬̿̈́̿͜ ̝͈̯̩̎ͪ̎c̲̘ͧ̓̏̆̄ͫ̐ͩͤ!̷̝̙̝͂ͦ̀ḯ̜̲͙̥̯ͧ͋̕f̵̛̞͇̘̜̯̼̟ͦ̃ͭͩͅf̵̗̯̂ͯ̌̏ͮ to ever find out his fly was down that one time

eh, i don't ever want to be perceived as talking shit about anyone i've worked with/near, however obliquely.

Does this go here?

I hope he didn't sign up for that outfit.
