Ten Songs I Hate and You Love

First things first: have you voted for me and my buddies yet??
Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I am a contrary person. I don’t like to like the things that everyone likes. It’s a point of pride to me that I’ve never seen Friday, I refuse to watch Glee and True Blood because everyone loves them, and after all the talk about it, I will never watch the video for Best I Ever Had. In fact I’m so contrary that I’m considering giving up my shoe whore status for no better reason than the fact that every chick on the block loves shoes these days.
But in no area of my life am I more contrary than my taste in music. The bigger something gets, the more I run from it. I grudgingly broke down and listened to my first Lil Wayne song last summer and I have no intention of knowing what a Wacka Flocka, Plies, or P.Reign is. Granted, I pretty much live in a bubble as far as my taste in music is concerned, but there’s nothing that will make me run from a song more than the fact that everyone loves it.
So without further ado, I give you 10 songs I effing hate that you (probably) love.
1. Real Love – Mary J. Blige
This song is soooo played out I literally cannot stand hearing it anymore. There is no less imaginative a song for a DJ to drop in the party than this. Any time I’m out and I hear it I have to throw two middle fingers at the DJ. It was dope at the time but there are a lot of dope Mary tracks…please pick something else. And yes, my ire extends to the remix.
2. Juicy – Notorious B.I.G.
Like everyone else I loved this song when it first came out but now I cannot believe people have the nerve to get themselves all amplified when they hear this in a party. Like – for real? You’re not over it? You haven’t spent enough of your life bawling out “Birthdays were the worst days/Now we sip champagne when we thirst-tay”? This is still exciting for you?
3. Hey Ya – OutKast
Unlike the previous two, I hated this song from the moment I first heard it. And this is partly because I love old OutKast so much that it hurts my feelings that the people who made Spottieottiedopalicious also made this crap. Honestly this song makes me stabby. Like I really, really want to hurt someone when I hear it.
4. Step in the Name of Love – R. Kelly
I hate this song for itself but I hate it even more because someone always wants to grab my hand and start stepping with me when they hear it. Negro this is not Love Jones and you are not Darius. Let go of my hand and leave me be. I also hate the other one that always comes after it.
5. Just One of Those Days – Monica
Any day that I have to hear this song is “just one of those days “ for me. Haaaate it.
5. Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough – Michael Jackson
I know I’ll get some kind of pass revoked for stating publicly that I hate a Michael Jackson song, but so be it. I do not like this song. Never have. And I’m about sick of Michael Jackson in general so there are many more that could be added to this list.
6. In Da Club – 50 Cent
This song is so horrible I couldn’t even come up with a blurb to write about it. I had to get my sister on the case. She says “this is one of those songs you should be ashamed to admit you ever liked”. I really couldn’t say it any better than that.
7. Love Like This – Faith
This song is like an assault to my ear drums. I dislike it so much it gives me panic attacks. I cannot stand it.
Sidebar: I also hate that horrible party mix that people always play that has this in it. You know the one? After the Love Like This part it goes “You got a hundred dollar bill put your hands up/You got a fifty dollar bill make noise!” When that comes on I start looking for a sharp object; not to stab myself but to cut the DJ for failing at life.
10. Move B*tch – Ludacris
Hate this song. Hate the obnoxious effect it has on men in the party who think it’s okay to shove people out of the way just because this dumb-ass song is making them hyper.
11. Get Low – Lil Jon & Eastside Boyz
Ugh. Just – ugh. I’m mad I’ve ever even heard this song.
Bonus: Gangster’s Paradise – Coolio
Technically this song shouldn’t even be on this list because I don’t think anyone likes it and if you do get off my blog and never come back, but I hate it so much I felt I had to mention it. I hate it so much I refused to watch the movie that shares its title just out of spite.
Anyone out there hate these songs as much as I do? Do you love them? What’s on your list of most hated by you/loved by everyone songs?





when you do lists i don't read the post until i've scrolled to see if you counted wrong
i'm never disappointed lol
i like step in the name of love *hangs head in shame*
Wow…I agree with you on most of these tracks…they tend to be over played at the clubs. You left of Poison…BBD…another over played tune in the club. I hope the dj's in Toronto read this.

Yall need to learn how to respect the old school.
"Its driving me out of my mind!"
If you aint singing at the top of your lungs at that point, your genitalia hates you.
What are you partying to in Tdot? Lil B?

Max baby I can't say I agree with your list. I know songs get played out, but I'm not going to blame the song. Juicy is still Juicy. And I doubt you felt that way when you originally heard in the club. It was such a change of pace to the other commercial music that came before it and the overdone chipmunk soul. But I agree like the rest of GRODT it didn't age well.
My list:
Usher – OMG. Will I am is terrible at times. Pop garbage. No soul. Just the same thing over and over agin.
Nicki Manjai – Your Love. Listen up rappers and listen close. DO NOT PUT A SIMILE IN YOUR CHORUS. JEEZ!
Anything new by NeYo. Never seen a good writer fall off so far.
YG – Tooted and Booted. B/c I can't stop singing it!!
Birthday Sex – Jerimiah. B!tch it aint your birthday.
Anything by Flo Rida. Seriously. I don't even think he is a bad rapper, but his songs are so cheezey.
Beyonce – Single Ladies. I don't even see what is musical about that song.
My recent post True 2 Life x Slaughterhouse Show in Hartford- CT July 30th
All i can think of right now is:
Just Fine- Mary J. Blige.. For whatever reason, I think of this song as the fat woman's anthem.. It's possible that the first time I heard it was at a club there were a lot of pleasantly plump women involved.. and maybe the sight scarred me for life.
I agree with Cheekz.. I live in Florida.. and anything by Flo-Rida gets me annoyed..
I'm sorry, but "Poison" is my get it song.. the party could be going wayyy left and that song will save it.
I cannot stand this song!! C.A.N.N.O.T. stand it!! the dance doesn't go with the song.. and the amount of "boogie woogie woogies" involved make me wanna stab myself in the eye with a spork.. i've said that if the DJ plays this at my wedding, he WILL NOT get paid..
i'm almost sure i'll be back once I remember some…
My recent post Wait a minute- let me put my face on…
We're gonna fight…
A majority of those songs are CLASSICS!!!
Juicy?! You really Defiled Christopher Wallace?!
Fantastic Voyage went hard…
MJB?
Yup T Dot is a Bizarro USA. Im convinced! lol
I had to whip out Notepad for this post [like I do for every single post I read lol]
And I gotta whomp a few songs right along with you: Real Love, Step In The Name Of Love (I dance to this too *hangs head in half shame*), Just One of those days, In da club (even if I'll sing along lol), Love like this, and gangster's paradise.
Now Max, I love you like a big sis or a mom but #CmonSon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GSq9MKQLcM
Juicy?! I'm not a Biggie fan. Yeah, I'm from BK. Doesn't mean I worship him like they do. (SHOTS) But now we sip champagne when we thirsty!! I'll probably only act up for that line. I let the lyrics die out in my throat (pause) as everyone else sings along.
Michael Jackson is great, regardless of the hit. Don't stop til you get enough may not be one of the greatest ones but don't you dare Max!
Shake it like a Polaroid picture?? ((O_o)) <– that's me losing my mind as I shake it. It's the Pup in me SOMETIMES.
Move B!tch?! That song is just dangerous but at least it warns you to get out the way. I don't support the actions either
Til the sweat drop down my balls! -_- #EnoughSaid
———————————–
Now, songs I CANNOT stand being played at any event that people go MAD for? Ugh, here goes.
-Hold Yuh – Gyptian
(ANY VERSION, Remixes included!) I can't take it. Leave it alone!!
-Say Aah – Trey Songz
Okay so I'm guilty of dancing to this song when it comes on. BUT I'm one of the few ladies that has her mouth CLOSED when he clearly says "Say Aahh!" Well excuse me. I never! It's sad to see my friends going mouth-open, gung-ho nutty over it though.
-ANY PLAYED OUT REGGAE SONG
-Over – Drake
I can't take it. You're right. Who the fxck are yall? I swear it feels like we've been everywhere & I can't remember it all. (SMH!) What am I doing? Oh yeah, that's right I'm doing me? Asexual bastiid.
My recent post Age vs Shoe Size
me and Streetz agree on music for once!
This is a bizarro world. lol.
I'm with Suki. Singing Andre isn't as good as rapping andre, but its still andre.
That Gyptian song was great when it came out… in 2009! Maybe even 2008 if you are a hardcore reggae listener.
You have to be more specifc with which played out reggae song you are talking about. B/c Beenie Man Memories still rings off in my car.
Say Ah was played out …. but lets be real. All y'all swallow.
Oh Poison!! Good one – DJ's have killed that song for me.
Nicki Minaj – Your Love is the #1 wack song of the year. Haaaaate it.
I considered putting Single Ladies on here too…I don't like it, but it's kinda catchy so I can't say I hate it.
Oooh Just Fine is a good one too. And you know what other one? No More Drama. I EFFING HATE THAT SONG.
I'm not repping the t.dot with this post…it's just me!
I've never even heard Say Aah. Why? Because people talk about Trey Songz so much I've made it my mission not to know any of his songs.
I love all of those songs. yep.
and how can you all not looooove Poison?! thats like, blasphemous.
Cheekz, I don't like any of those songs you named, except Bey and Jeremih grew on me. OMG suuuuuucks so bad.
We're being incepted!
Can we add anything from Ne-Yo to this list? His voice is so thin & wispy. I can't have that in my male singers. BTW I too seem to flee from musical "group think".
Just Fine- Mary J. Blige.. For whatever reason, I think of this song as the fat woman's anthem >>> You just totally ruined this song for me now…thanks LOL!
Hahaha I don't know what that means because I refuse to see Inception!
Ugh come live in Toronto for a year and see if you still love Poison. It's impossible.
Ugh…I'm mad I even know who Ne-Yo is. Do.not.like!
"Single Ladies" – I don't like it, but Max is right. It's catchy.
Proof: Attended a not-so-straight party in Montreal recently, the song came on, and ladies went nuts. Seriously.
(What I hate most is when some women wave their hands like its their anthem. Sad sigh).
max,
I don't strongly agree or disagree with anything on this list. One exception. I. Can't. Stand. That Foolio song (that's right, I can't even call that clown by his name)….I often hear a song on the radio, or at a party and think that though it's not my cup of tea I can see how someone else is taking a sip.
But Gangsta's Paradise????!!!!!
I used to swear it was a conspiracy by the powers that be to keep the black man down by f***ing with our brains and convincing people this song was gravy (Plus, if you're going to jack a Stevie tune, why would you choose Pastime Paradise…not to diss Stevie, but that song sounds like all of a sudden her remembered that he was blind or something….Straight ass.
Anyway. Sorry for the rant. But that song just pisses me off.
My recent post Why I LUV POF Vol 1- Sometimes I Have No Words…
F*** Single Ladies. And F*** being catchy. Herpes is catchy.
My recent post Why I LUV POF Vol 1- Sometimes I Have No Words…
(Totally laughing here). I think I may be a contrary-type as well, b/c I refuse to see Inception simply because everyone else goes on about why I should I see it!
Oh my god, I'm just realizing that I must have been a (contrary) problem child for my parents. . .
Me too, Sam Sharpe, me too. That song is 4 minutes of evil.
I'm with you on Step In The Name of Love and In Da Club 100 percent. Hated them since the first time I heard them. Cheekz said it first, but playing Single Ladies also gets the DJ two middle fingers from me.
Can I add the Cha-cha Slide? I wanna take a shotgun shell to the head whenever a DJ plays this crap, but you'll always have EVERYONE rush the dance floor once it comes on. Your wack ass was chilling on the wall this whole time, but now you rush onto the dance floor cause a song is giving you specific instructions on how to move.
Hey Ya was cool at first, but I couldn't tolerate it after the second week. It's just annoying.
The rest of the songs are straight. Not favorites, but decent-to-good songs.
effin laptop..
the song i can't stand was the electric slide.. i just noticed the laptop erased the sentence..
#ISweaFoLawd
My recent post Wait a minute- let me put my face on…
I'm going to have to talk to your DJs. Where do y'all live that selectors are still playing gangsta's paradise.
What kind of party song is that? Damn. I can see everyone in the club right now, moving their head back a forth building up a sweat like LV singing in the video.
Nobody's playing that song in the clubs here…I just had to throw it out there as a song I absolutely despise!
Omg! I'm dying at the "You all swallow" comment. And played out reggae includes Beenie Man's stuff, Hot Wuk, Vitamin S, Dude, etc. Trey Songz = overrated
My recent post Age vs Shoe Size
There is no more played out (and therefore despised) reggae song than Head's High.
Every time I hear that shit I just want to shoot myself.
No one notice that single ladies doesn't have notes played. its just odd noises placed randomly over hand claps.
>_< *beats self in head*
How about Step Out? How many f&*#ing legs are wiggling right now just for the first 30 seconds of this song? STOP THE MADNESS!
My recent post Age vs Shoe Size
Another song that kills me. I don't know the name but it goes like this:
*plays dramatic intro music* You make me wanna….*thump* *thump* *thump* *thump* *thump**thump* Jump!
UGH!! >_<
I have to agree completely on omg-usher..
I looovvveeeee usher with all that word entails, but that song is just UGH! I hate it.. I never ever liked it! and it makes me want to find a new celeb to dream about!
oh man have to agree on the just fine and no more drama.. also someone please call 911 or whatever thats ong is called is on my list too sorry
OMG! noooww i have to stop u cuz inception is serious! waaaaay serious! i was still thinking about that movie yesterday and i saw it over a week ago!
