I cant think of a valid reason not to, so alright.



Either way that was a fun detour. All positive feelings, writeups of a decent size that mostly stayed on topic, a small enough list that I could organize it without issues (mostly)...

...were all going to miss that. So much negativity... so many low scoring songs... Im going to try to pick up the pace here and rush things a bit because I really dont want to drag out this section any longer than possible, but its still going to be a while because... ya know... so many songs.

Welp, no sense putting this off any longer.

ABSOLUTE ZERO TIER

I had a lot of points I could give out. 101 primary numbers, with a full 100 decimal point numbers between each primary number. There were literally thousands of points that songs could be awarded.

These still get nothing and enjoy an unprecidented three way tie for last place.

599: DR.DOOOM - I RUN RAP:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiJWFDG7rx4

Nominator: LOLIAmAnAlt (15/15)

Initial Score: 0 [#583]
Revised Score: No. [#599]
Final Score: 0 [#599]

(First Thoughts: No.)

Ive got a very low tolerance for homophobia or transphobia, so... yeah. Screw this guy. Who gives a damn if other rappers want to shop at Victorias Secret? Mind your own business.

...You know what? Im dropping this to last place. It was in a three way tie for last, but this song has definitely moved into a class by itself. The other two are songs I completely hate, but this song actually makes me hate the person singing it as well.

.....well thats probably taking things too far, I dont actually know anything about him and hes playing a character, blah blah blah. This is also from...what 1999? Judging people for something they said over 20 years ago is pointless. Either way, this song is in absolute last place and I refuse to even entertain the idea of moving it back up at all. There was a time I tried to appreciate itOoh, we need to listen to more 90s rap, ooh we should try listening to something outside our comfort zone, blah blah blah, lets not be too harsh but no. Just no.

[Final Thoughts: ...I honestly cant tell if Id hate everything by him or not. Wikipedia describes his lyrics as abstract and surreal, which sounds promisingbut it also describes his style as overly sexual and pornocore which sounds like I would completely and utterly hate them.

...And then he comments on all of his different personalities and says he doesnt even feel human, which makes me want to like him again.

Back on topic: His performance of the song is fine, I dont have any complaints about his voice or the way he delivers the lines. Theres just absolutely nothing here for me; the lyrics cause me to hate the song quickly and there are no redeeming features. No lyrics that I like in spite of the rest of the song, no interesting samples or musical stylings that I find appealing.

And Ive decided to go back to the three way tie for last place. Technically these should be tied for 597th Place, but that doesnt properly convey things.]

599 [TIE]: THE WEEKND - INITIATION:

https://open.spotify.com/track/3H37ijjdmKz0dQLgUGzpjx

Nominator: Player_0 (30/30)

Initial Score: 0 [#599]
Revised Score: 0 [#597]
Final Score: 0 [#599]

(First Thoughts: Congratulations on successfully finding the worst song in the entire history of the multiverse.

...well I guess Im not at the end of the album yet, so theres a chance that it may actually get worse. Though I question how he could possibly do that (the only thing I could imagine being worse than this song would be a Kidz Bop cover of one of his songs that spontaneously ends in suicide, followed by several straight minutes of praising Jesus. And even THAT might be preferable due to the pure insanity factor.))

I dont think there was ever any question that something from this album would get last place. Considering how often Ive trashed songs for being too sexually explicit and the rather...spotty record of songs featuring excessive drug use (its not a dealbreakerADHD should have come in third place last year and there are some other blatant drug songs that I thoroughly enjoy [I may or may not wind up talking about one of them to fill space later]), but its certainly never helpedyou can imagine my reaction to entire album of orgies where everyone is on way too many drugs to be able to consent to any of this.

The only relevant questions were

A: Which of the songs would actually get last place. (Initiation)

B: Are there any songs on the album that I actually like. (Yes)

So, starting with this song...

Way too explicit. Theres no way any song with these lyrics was getting anything other than last place, no matter who sang it.

His DEEP, DARK voice is incredibly annoying. Theres a decent chance this would have gotten last place even with decent lyrics.

And now lets just get some of the inevitable arguments out of the way:

But the music is objectively good!

I have never pretended to care, even the slightest bit, about objective quality in my personal topics. All that matters is my enjoyment and I very actively did not enjoy this.

Abels portraying a fictional version of himself

Ive never said anything about him personally. Im sure hes a great person in real life, but I dont have any interest in the story hes telling. (Though there are some good songs on the album, eventually)

Hes not portraying the life of constant drug orgies in a positive light!

Yeah, but you lost me at drug-filled sex orgy. I dont care if the end message is this drug filled sex orgy is AWESOME, YO! or this drug filled sex orgy is terrible and Im sad now, kupo ;.;, Im still not interested.

Youre too uptight!

Yes, I am.

I will say I support his right to do whatever he wants, I just dont want to hear about it.

...well that didnt come out right and i cant figure out how to fix it without an overly tedious explanation. I support ending the war on drugs and decriminalizing sex work and I am glad that songs like this can exist, but the lyrics are so antithetical to anything I personally want to hear about that I dont want to listen to this type of song for fun?

...Well that doesnt sound quite right either.

You should force yourself to listen to things you hate!

Yes, I should. And Ive toyed with giving extra points to songs I strongly hate because there is a lot of value in learning to tolerate such things... but I dont want to right now, not with this song anyway.

[Final Thoughts: Im well out of things to say about this joint last place song.]
