* Pornstar Riley Reid released a short rap song called '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rpoj3YAREY "8 Ball Shawty"]]''' in order to demonstrate her multifaceted [[TemptingFate talent]]. It...didn't work. It features ''terrible'' lyricism that gets extremely graphic and at times doesn't rhyme or ''[[LyricalShoehorn even fit to the beat]]''. What's even worse, the song's entire last third consists of Reid, a white woman, using the N-word over and over again.[[note]](This is most likely why the original video was removed for violating Website/YouTube's policy on hate speech.)[[/note]] The beat also samples Reid's voice as recorded in her previous body of work, sort of defeating the point of the song as a stylistic departure. LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} did a video about it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44XtW4GmgqY here.]]

* Music/{{Eminem}} is commonly regarded as one of the best rappers of all-time, but not even his most hardcore fans can defend his song '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH4tXoeTRCY "FACK"]]''', a bonus track from his GreatestHitsAlbum ''Curtain Call''. The lyrics are [[FetishRetardant very sexually disturbing]] to say the least, Eminem pulls off an irritating accent throughout the song reminiscent of a whining [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Eric Cartman]], and he goes so far as to rap about [[{{Squick}} shoving a gerbil up his ass through a tube]] (which even forms the outro). Eminem is renowned for his irreverent humor and his [[CrossesTheLineTwice willingness to push the envelope]], but this isn't controversial, provocative, or even humorous. It's just tasteless, lazy, and above all ''annoying''. Eminem himself poked fun of it in his 2014 song "Shady XV" off of the ''Shady XV'' compilation album, as well as the title track to his 2018 album ''Kamikaze'', where "Fack 2017" is a RunningGag[[note]] He's threatening to drop another "Fack" if people don't leave him alone.[[/note]]. WebVideo/TheRapCritic and Creator/MarcMues had some words to say about this song on their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cYPJQvYFmk Top 10 Worst Eminem Songs]] collaboration video, [[spoiler:in which "FACK" topped the list]]. To make things worse, as that video pointed out, after a short skit track this is the first proper song on the aforementioned GreatestHitsAlbum - imagine someone who's just starting to get into Eminem's music hearing ''this'' as an introduction. The man himself [[https://genius.com/5140297 admitted]] he was on a ''lot'' of pills at the time of its writing. "Ambien will make you do crazy shit", indeed. [[WebVideo/TheNeedleDrop Anthony Fantano]] [[https://youtu.be/D4r_CwjEs7g?t=360 called the gerbil line one of the worst lyrics he's ever heard]]. Weirdly enough, the song is on Apple Music's "Essentials" playlist for Eminem-and wasn't always there.

* '''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GZLboRJUQs&pp=ygUPc3RpbXVsYXRlZCB0eWdh Stimulated]]"''' by Tyga is a song about Tyga's sexual relationship with Kylie Jenner. At the time, Kylie was 17 and Tyga was 26. Already not off to a good start, but that's only the start of the song's problems. Tyga portrays himself as an abusive BastardBoyfriend, admitting there was no love in the relationship and he was only in it because he enjoyed the sex, calling Kylie a "bitch" and writing lines like "Shut up and let me finish, baby, I'll let you finish later," as well as having the song centered around the line "They say she young, I should have waited," so even someone who didn't have any knowledge of the context in which the song was created can know exactly why they should hate Tyga. And even if the listener either does not understand English or just does not care about the lyrics, Tyga is an unimpressive rapper at the best of times and this is one of his most flat and lifeless performances, and the beat, the only part of the song that is in any way pleasant to listen to, is ripped wholesale from another song, specifically a Robert Miles song called "Children". The song has a rating of 0.6 out of 5 on rateyourmusic.com, along with the song having the tags "disturbing", "crime", "hedonistic", and "vulgar", every music critic who acknowledged the song's existence tore it apart, and WebVideo/TheDoubleAgent labelled it as the worst song to chart anywhere in the entirety of the 2010s by a large margin in his video on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFlYsuIb8XI&t=4374s Top 10 Worst Almost Hits of the 2010s]].
