For those who don't quite understand, "hashtag rap" is, I'm going to call it a gimmick but I'm sure someone will disagree with that statement, that has become more and more prevalent in rap as the days go by, Example from ludacris' song my chick bad.

I fill her up, BALLOONS!

Its basically an unfinished simile, is the best way I can personally explain it, and frankly its sad that one of my favorite rappers has started doing it as well. To me, its just bad writing, like mispronouncing a word, or even making up your own word just to make it rhyme.

I'll just respond by saying, "And I got her, nigga, GROCERY BAG!"

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Hashtag rap hasn't been a thing for about 3 years, dude...

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing..? Because I'm hearing it more often now then ever. It seems to be a bit of a running gang in songs by the young money camp.

I just heard it listening to The OF Tape Vol. 2 by OFWGKTA and I was like "Goddammit, seriously?"

Because, really, it is a lazy way of making puns and should have died by now.

Meh, I think there are certain times where Hashtag Rtyming can work well but a lot of the time it doesn't.
