Has there ever been a lamer summer song than Lean Back

[jlarlee]

I was out of the loop all summer and just saw this video. No offense to the rappers on it because they are alright but why a song about a dance move that takes about zero % talent to pull off. I mean cmon it would be harder to go out on the dance floor and bob your head or even spin around in circles. Rap and RnB is really starting to show signs of jumping the shark I think

[Rig]

I really do not like that song.

[Jaket]

STOP! IT'S THE MOTHA FUCKIN REMIX!!!

[jlarlee]

I will now refer to the song as Macarena 2004

[Jaket]

nah, baby i don't dance, not that i can't, theres a pistol in my pants!

[willardhaven]

Eminem is good in that song, as much as I hate to admit it... both versions suck and I hate Fat Joe more than I hate paying full price for video games.

[MadChedar0]

If Fat Joe leans back one more time.... If Usher has another confession... bad things will happen :)

[Mafia]

Well, a few years ago there was a worse summer song. I think it was called Summer Girls by girly-man boy band LFO. They suck, the song sucked, and I'm glad I don't see anymore releases from them.

[Mafia]

If Fat Joe leans back one more time.... If Usher has another confession... bad things will happen :)

If Fat Joe leans back again, wouldn't he fall down and not be able to get up?

[robogriff]

Who let the Dogs out was one of the lamest songs ever.

[robogriff]

Oh yeah, as for Lean Back...There's a remix using the beat and Notorious BIG lyrics. I even think it's an official remix because I heard it on the digital radio that comes with digital cable. That was the tightest and best mix of that song. Otherwise, I can't wait for it to die out.

[msdmoney]

There has been lamer songs, but I agree Fat Joe has just gone downhill. Don Cartegena was a great album, and he did a song another great song before that, but I forget the name. You can really tell how much he slowed and dumbed down his lyrics for the mainstream.

[Jaket]

i like the remix with mase lil jon and eminem.... eminem is my fav. rapper. mase is back and better than ever IMO... and.... YYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

[deathcabforcutie]

yeah eminems verse is amazing in the remix, other than that, it sucks!

[ChrisXE]

i thought i was the only one who hated LEAN BACK, god i hate that song, never like fat joe to begin with

[Trakan]

Can't spell Crap without Rap..... HAHA Just kidding.

[1SwtDeception]

Didn't Chapelle do something like that at the VMAs? I don't know, but I heard something about it. Anyways most of the rap songs you hear nowadays are pretty much lame. Though it is entertaining because it's just funny stupid. I mean you can make a song about anything nowadays and then have a catchy beat and it would sell. Lean Back would be like some kind of good parody song like "Lean back, fall back" something like that. The G-Unit thing can be just fun to mock or so but man people at my school can really annoy the crap outta you after saying it so many times.

But I gotta agree that "Who let the dogs out?" was a lame song.. and I am so sure there are even lamer songs out there.. just too lame to remember.

edit: Can't spell Crap without Rap..... HAHA Just kidding.

I remember seeing that before lol sucha good laugh when I first saw it too.

[Gameboy415]

C'mon guys, be nice.

If you were as fucking huge as Fat Joe, you'd realize that leaning back was the ONLY way you could dance.

Well.....apart from the Truffle Shuffle I s'pose......

[Mafia]

Can't spell Crap without Rap..... HAHA Just kidding.

There was something similar in the History of Rock and Roll. I saw it about 10 years ago in a music class when some old rocker said "Rap is short for Crap". I still laugh whenever I think about that.

[JEKKI]

seriously guys, I can never have any disrespect for Fat Joe. he's part of a east coast based hip hop crew called DITC (Diggin in the Crates) which have many classic joints. The Late Big L was a part of that group, consisting of a total of 8 members.

Fat Joe follows a formula to sell records, make some crappy ass song as his single for a good album (such as What's love got to do wit it got to do wit it wit it). It works for a lot of good mainstream rap artists to sell platinum without making a crappy album.

also Fat Joe introduced the world to Big Pun, who despite his short career was one of the best emcees of the time.

[WeaponX2099]

i also hate lean back, but Take me home is 5x worst with the chipmunks voice singing the hook. Bad song Bad Song!! Radio stations don't the the roots, Mos def,. Pisses me off. White-T's is the WORST rap song ever. STUPID SONG!!! WHY!!!

[zewone]

STOP! IT'S THE MOTHA shaq-fuin REMIX!!!

I don't know why but that made me laugh my ass off. It deserves of course a LMAO! :rofl:

[jlarlee]

With your choice of avatar MSD I know you must be hating Rap right now not a lot of people putting out intelligent albums like Mos def anymore

[greyzieoriental]

what u guys think about the game? hes the best outta g-unit, but i dont think he shouldve rolled with them. g unit is getting annoying and they just gonna drag him down, if anyone wanna hear something tight from him download 200 bars.

No it shouldn't. He should be happy. The Roots and Kanye west albums are out. With albums by Mos def, Talib Kweli and common to come out soon, it's gotta be good.

[FriskyTanuki]

Haven't heard this song yet, who's it by? I don't listen to the radio much since I have CDs, but when I do, I listen to the local metal station, since they won't play the same song 3 times in an hour.

[jlarlee]

got a couple folks Fat Joe is the main culprit

[GuilewasNK]

Rap and RnB is really starting to show signs of jumping the shark I think

I remember when bands use to put actual effort into songs and vids. I remember when R and B groups had actual bands that played instruments (Earth, Wind and Fire anyone?). That's why I love R and B from the 70's more than any other time. The music had so much more feeling. Now rappers sample those same songs to DEATH. Other than perhaps De La Soul, Outkast, Nappy Roots, and The Roots most rap groups today are just plain lazy. They throw together just any old BS and think it will sell. That is why I am very selective about what little rap I still listen too. Most just don't deserve the public's money. People will wise up eventually and stop buying this garbage and demand a better product.

[serverdserver]

The worse song this summer had to be h00bstank's 'The Reason'. Now I don't like the music to begin with, but the song is just terrible(see their performance at the VMAs if you don't believe me). Plus, their sell outs. They used to be a crappy rock band. Now their a crappy emo band.

[Wombat]

I have to second Mafia's vote for LFO, I can't stand that song, that and Smashmouths cover of I'm a believer, or Sugar Ray and Fly, or sugar Ray again with every morning. I'd go on but I have a 10:00 meeting

[daphatty]

No one seems to have addressed the real problem with this song, or the current state of Pop-Rap (as I like to call it). Lil' John has fucked up sooooo many songs this summer with the same beat it's rediculous. The Usher song "Yeah" was pretty decent but soon after that EVERY Pop-Rap song had that same fuckin beat! Jesus, talk about recycling! To make things worse, for some reason Lil' John thinks he can take crappy songs like lean back and make it better. This guy needs to crawl back into that dirty south hole he came from.

[random thoughts]
As far as Hip Hop/Rap is concerned, it's gone WAY downhill. It's image is so diluted with Bling Bling that it's impossible to even respect the art anymore. I'd say the decline began when Pac and Biggie died. They earned their way to the top, not just with a good beat but meaningful lyrics. Rap Artists (except Eminem) who came up after Pac and Biggie died are trying to fill shoes they have no place filling.

One more thing, Mase sucks hairy hemaphrodite ass. He needs to take is "lazy flow" back to church and stay there.

Anyone remember "Steal My Sunshine", that shitty song by that shitty band, hell, I can't even remember their shitty name. Worst summer song ever.

I really highly doubt that G-unit is dragging him down. Since every groupie doesnt care about the BS that 50 cent has caused in the rap game, they just want to hear G-unit's new shit, which will make him sell records. I do agree that certain parts of G-unit could be going down, but once you hit mainstream you can bounce back a lot easier than if you are a coming up rapper. I think 50 cent is going to either be killed or totally destroyed by all the hate that no one will like him anymore, but Young Buck, Yayo, The Game, and even LLoyd Banks are still pretty strong and will thus keep G-unit alive, besides man, they have Dre, Snoop, Eminem and D-12 , Xzibit, and many other top name rappers and producers on there side to keep G-unit alive, maybe not the indivual rappers but the Group will be around for a while.

On a side note the original Lean Back isnt all that great the remix is the shit.
And for all you Eminem haters that love Tupac, Afari Shakur just signed Eminem to do another Tupac CD, so he must be somewhat decent compared to the rest of the game.

When i lived at home for Birthdays and Christmas my folks would closely follow my list except they would always try to get one thing ti surprise me and it was usually laughable. One year I ended up getting the Nelson tape. I can't remeber the name of it but it had who brought the rain on it what a horrible tape.

G-Unit will be around for a long time..they have too people to use at their disposal...also the fact they got Whoo-Kid now will make there stuff sound better...
Lean back got old in a flash. just like you guys i cant listen to it anymore like how i cant listen to any of usher's music or any of nelly's tracks.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

You know I've never heard lean back. I stay away from MTV and radio except for listening to Lazlo (http://www.bluecollardistro.com/lazlo-online/) on the way home from school twice a week.

[cag1000]

when i first heard the song i thought it was a commercial and he was saying rockawear like jayz's clothing line. might as well be cause they all need to be beaten with a bat for no fucking no talent, a corny ass song and gettin paid millions. yea im a hata. hata of uneducated scumbags gettin paid when i worked hard as hell in school to make $

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Just heard this song for the first time, and yeah, I really don't like it. Em's verse is good, but EVERY verse of Em's is good (IMO) so it doesn't really say much for me.

[zewone]

Who let the dogs out is worse but Lean Back sucks!! I can't understand people who like terrible radio music. It just goes to show you alot of people are idiots.

[GuilewasNK]

Not EVERYTHING on the radio is terrible but a lot is.

What are u talking about? If anything without Pun, Fat Joe would have never had a career. He introduced Joe and the whole TS to the world, and put them on his CD's and singles. No one really paid attention to Joe until after Pun passed on.

Secondly to everyone acting like Eminem is the savor of Hip Hop... please listen to his new single "Just Lose It"... it makes "Lean Back" sound like a classical opus in comparison.

[zewone]

^^^
:D True. Just Lose It sucks so bad!!! I hope to God that "Encore" is better than its first single. Shit is hot garbage.

There is also difference in hip hop tho...Artisits like Mos Def and Talib Kweli are lyrical hip hop artists.Their Rhymes actually have a deep thought.so its worth hearing em out. Just that in this day in age....party tracks just have to have a good beat and its hit..how many times did you hear Fat Joe say the hook for that song or LL Cool J(sorry LL) but headsprung is also getting to me also...I dunno about you guys but when i heard that song all i heard was "Heeeeaaddsrpung" norap at all.....

[cag1000]

off topic i know but.........

can anyone tell me what happened to murdock from ateam
is he dead? or just old and out of the public eye

[judyjudyjudy]

After listening to a lot of radio all summer, I have to agree that Lean Back is lame, but that Slow Motion song is worse. (God, I hate that song.)

I loved "Quality" but "The Beautiful Struggle" is simply not that great an album. "I'll Try" is a poor mans "Get By" and about half the album sounds awkward with kweli talking about stuff that just doesn't fit and being off beat or just plain sounding like an internet backpacker flow wise. I think perhaps all the praise went to his head and he tried to make an album that was fairly deep but could still appeal to the masses. Outside of "Broken Glass" and the title track I really don't see any songs that I'll care to hear again a month from now ("Around My Way" has a great beat and hook but the verses are kinda weak and sing songy"... same for "Black Girl").

Let's hope Nas and Mos Def can salvage what has been a pretty sub par year for Hip Hop.

I think if you look past the semi mediocore beats that his lyrics are great. I don't get what you mean about stuff that doesn't fit. And his flows are ridiocoulsly good. I like the CD alot. Not at good as Eternal Reflection or Quality but its good and a whole lot better than a ton of stuff that has come out in 2004.

Well, a few years ago there was a worse summer song. I think it was called Summer Girls by girly-man boy band LFO. They suck, the song sucked, and I'm glad I don't see anymore releases from them.

The first time I heard that song I thought it was a parody or something that a DJ made. I couldn't believe it was an actual song. Eminem even made fun of it in "Marshall Mathers".

whats pacs new album gonna be called? and its afeni shakur. did anyone actually buy 2pac live?

lloyd banks look like curious george and 50 cent look like monkey no wonder they kall em gorilla (guerilla?)unit

y couldnt g-unit get on the bus? cuz they didnt have 50 cent

4got who i heard those from anyways, LL's headsprung is hella annoying and who actually thinks hes the greatest of all times? i aint got nothing to say bout lil john, the beats sound similar but they stilll good beats most the time. never listened to mos def or talib kweli so i guess i rather listen to rap then hip hop, and i dont know when the hell rap started being kalled hip hop, so which rapper really is the best now? everyone thinks they are the best, hopefully X will make more albums and come out of retirement like ma$e, theres a lot of ppl coming out of atlanta now, the south needs to die and bring the west back

[Zenithian Legend]

That Biggie mix is crazy though, anyway I like that song, the remix more than the original, but in general I like it. I go to the clubs a lot though, so maybe that's why. The one song I don't like is "Tip Drill" I mean the song is cool, but all these dumbass white girls pointing out what they think is a "Tip Drill" just baffles me... all I can think is come on you dumbass you have no clue what the song means, so just don't... ya, just don't.

[goukill1120]

All these rappers could be doing better songs but it's not what sells. Songs like Lean Back and G-units shit is good for when you're driving wit your friends are hanging out in a club u could care less about the lyrics but aslong as the beat and the chorus is hot then they got at hit. I just hate that they overplayed the freaking song.

If u wanna hear how fucked up Fat Joe's got it download Sh*t Is Real Pt. III I'll tell u right now it's more emotional than any other shit out there cuz u feel his pain.

and how come it seems all the non-threatning rappers like Common, Mos Def and the rest of em have mad white fans.

You do understand you can use the word Shit, as well as, semi-proper grammar...
