Actually Pretty Funny misuse (RC is not the target of the joke)


* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
** He got a chuckle from the "left nut" line of the otherwise execrable "[[{{Music/Eminem}} Just Lose It]]".
** In the CrossOver review with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan on the Music/InsaneClownPosse movie ''Film/BigMoneyRustlas'', Rap Critic admits he actually found a decent number of the gags in the movie to be pretty funny (and in general found ''Rustlas'' to be a much better movie compared to it's predecessor, ''Film/BigMoneyHustlas''), particularly Sugar Wolf's cartoon-like "pimp slap" scenes.
** When listening to this T-Pain's "Rap Song", he starts [[{{Corpsing}} laughing uncontrollably]] at this little line, and couldn't bring himself to review the lyric ([[LampshadeHanging Which technically means I only have FIVE lyrics for this month...]])
--> "And I'mma do you like [[Music/KanyeWest Kanye]], 'cause "[[MemeticMutation I'mma let you FINISH!!!]]""



* BrokenAesop:
** He points out that the message of "Ridin'" (about how cops resort to racial profiling to get away with police brutality) is completely invalidated when Chamillionaire & Krayzie Bone rap about not only fulfilling those negative stereotypes, but also by bragging about breaking the law and having warrants "in every city except Houston".
** When talking about "No Flex Zone," Rap Critic calls out Rae Sremmurd for bragging about how much money they have despite the song's message supposedly being that bragging is bad.
* BrokenPedestal: Devoted a large chunk of his "Worst Lyrics of 2012" video to explaining why Music/NickiMinaj's recent work has disappointed him so much.



--->'''Rap Critic''': Well, this line certainly takes on a new implication for Kanye these days.
*** And later on:
--->'''Rap Critic''': Now, I know it's a typical hyperbolic Kanye lyric, just saying "Oh, these people are so shitty, I'm gonna group them as even worse than the most agreed upon worst people in the world!" But now, when I hear it, I can't help but side-eye the intention behind Kanye downplaying the objective shittiness of Nazis.
* HellBentForLeather: His jacket.

Added DiffLines:

** In "The Top Ten WORST Lyrics of 2023", RC takes a segment to discuss this about Music/DojaCat, starting with the lyrics of "Paint the Town Red" -- where she flip-flops between [[CelebrityIsOverrated not caring about fame]] and caring ''entirely'' about the fame -- which he uses as a springboard to discuss how bizarrely inscrutable she is. RC discusses the bizarre controversies she ended up embroiled in during the year that speak to her hating her own fame and those around her, from explicitly stating she doesn't appreciate her fans to getting caught being in chatrooms filled with racists (albeit passively) and posting an image of herself in T-shirt of infamous alt-right figure Sam Hyde. While RC tries to give Doja Cat the benefit of the doubt that she might be genuinely struggling with private matters, he can't help but find such drama as potentially being representative of her either [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity riling up controversy to keep people talking]][[invoked]] ''or'' deliberately trying to alienate her audience, though he's unable to determine which (as well as whether or not she ''is'' a racist alt-right sympathizer or [[HanlonsRazor just incredibly irresponsible]]).

Added DiffLines:

* ARareSentence: In "Worst Lyrics of December 2017", RC questions why the cover of the album ''Sex and Violence'' by Music/KRSOne [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext shows cheese on the ground]].
--->'''Rap Critic''': What, did the stripper poop out the cheese? ({{Beat}}) That's gotta be the first time anyone's ever said that sentence.
