Boastful, self-aggrandizing songs really occur in all genres, but it's particularly common for {{rap}}pers to rap about how they're badass/what they can do, about their possessions, homies, and stuff, about who they are, or a combination of all of the above.

* On ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?'' Wayne Brady and Brad Sherwood once did a rap song about being an astronaut. "We're gonna blast off out of this place / And we're gonna drag your butt to outer space! And if you do not like it I do not care / Because I told you once, I'm breathing BOTTLED AIR!"

The hook is standard if arguably lame BoastfulRap about partying and drinking and getting all the women, but the verses contain bizarre, uncool boasts like "I got so many clothes I keep them in my aunt's house" and "I'm pissed I never got to fly on a Concorde/ I been Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe". (Note: for Americans unsure about those English towns, know that they are both desperately uncool.)

* Let's be honest here - hip-hop itself largely consists of this trope, especially in TheEighties and TheNineties. Artists like Rakim, the various members of the Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, and more perfected the BoastfulRap. Doesn't stop a lot of it from being CrowningMusicofAwesome, though.

* iCarly during the party scenes of ''iParty with Victorious'' is a good example of this trope. However, Sam and Rex are the only characters that don't make Tupac roll over in his grave.
** Subverted by Robbie who gets knocked unconscious by an angry crowd member before he can make a presumably poor attempt of a BoastfulRap.

anctual boastful rap quote should be quoted not an anti-boastful rap quote. besides the iconic LL Cool J is more apt since he was one the first few to do it.
