The 15 Most Outrageous Claims in Pop Music History

"We can do it till we both wake up."
Color Me Badd, "I Want to Sex You Up"
First off, it's hard to believe that anyone can have sex while they're asleep, and harder still to believing that all four members of Color Me Badd have been blessed with this amazing talent. Look at these stooges-the dude in the flip shades is clearly still a virgin, and the guy doing Blue Steel up front looks like he just stepped out of a SuperCuts poster. Also, since they say "till we both wake up," does that mean the girl isn't aware of what's happening? Because if that's the case, we're pretty sure that's sexual assault.

"Gap teeth in ya mouth so my dick's gots to fit / With my nuts on ya tonsils"
Dr. Dre followed by Snoop Dogg, "Fuck Wit' Dre Day"
Here, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg decide the best way to voice their displeasure with Eazy-E is to rap about sexually assaulting him. In fact, the song contains countless lines that would be at home at a prison rape orgy (we've been to many of these), including "It's time for the doctor to check your ass," "Play with my bone, would ya Timmy?" "I'm hollering 187 with my dick in your mouth," "Luke's bending over, so Luke's getting fucked," and, of course, "Eazy-E can eat a big fat dick."
That's not even mentioning the above one-two punch of outrage. First, Dr. Dre claims that his dick can fit between Eazy-E's two front teeth, which is both the least impressive brag about dick size in rap history and proof that Dr. Dre has no idea how fellatio is performed. Next, Snoop drops in to serve notice that his nuts are in fact on Eazy's tonsils, which would give Snoop the longest scrotum in recorded history. We're not 100 percent sure why that's supposed to be impressive.

"Every freak should have a picture of my dick on they wall."
Rich Boy featuring Polow Da Don, "Throw Some D's"
Polow Da Don, you have to be a little more assertive! Most rappers won't think twice before bragging about slapping hos and all you can muster up is suggesting-not even demanding-that a picture of your penis be hung on "every freak's" wall? In the same song, Rich Boy raps about selling crack and buying a Cadillac, but all we can picture is you taking webcam photos of your dong, carefully placing them in frames from Pottery Barn, and sending each one out to a freak along with a tersely worded note urging that it be hung on, um, they wall.

"My paragraph alone is worth five mics. A 12-song LP, that's 36 mics."
Redman, "Five Boroughs"
But wait a second, isn't five times 12, um, 60? To make the math correct, Red would have had to spread 7.2 paragraphs over the course of his 12 songs, averaging 3/5 of a paragraph per song. So, either Red made a mathematically convoluted concept album in which paragraphs span from one song to the next, or he just assumed that his fans were retarded and said a bunch of numbers to confuse them. It's definitely one of the two, though we'd hate to think that the star of How High and countless deodorant commercials would condescend to his fan base like that.








Most of these are stupid, but some work well enough if you don't take them this literally.
ReplyDid you seriously just call Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Canibus, DMX, and all those other rappers "pop"? Do you know the difference between rap and pop? This is one of the stupidest articles I've ever read on Cracked.
Reply"Pop" is short for "popular", genius. It's pop, deal with it.
Since Nate Dogg's dead, I don't think he can give her her p***y back.
ReplyI don't care if this list was supposed to take things too literal for comedy purposes. This article was awful and not funny
ReplyI actually thought the Nate Dogg one was pretty funny. But most of the least funny bits probably came from Clive Bannister.
I dont appreciate how the majority of this lame ass list is targeting black entertainers!!!
ReplyOr the fact that the absolute dumbest comments on the list were from aforementioned entertainers? Still giggling about the density one.
I believe as with the other sexual subtexts of "backdoor man," eating chicken refers to vagina. Because vagina is a good soulfood
ReplyIf anyone still cares (or ever did), Joel's description of Paul as a real estate novelist means (I believe) that Paul worked in real estate while attempting to write a novel. I understood this when I first heard the song when I was fourteen, so I'm wondering why your Cracked editors couldn't figure it out. And don't bore me with that "it's a comedy web site" nonsense. The first rule of being funny is to BE FUNNY, not retarded.
Replyyeah, except a 'real estate' isn't an occupation. A Real estate agent would be. As a novelist would be. A real estate novelist is nothing. Your claim is an awfully big (and questionable) stretch in logic to be pretending like it's so painfully obvious. That would be like calling someone a 'trash chef' and saying "wait, he doesn't cook trash! He's actually a trash collector and a chef! Isn't it obvious?!".
language doesn't work like that. You can't just butcher and shove things together as is convenient. There's no indication whatsoever that your interpretation is actually correct, so maybe you shouldn't be throwing stones and calling people retards, a*****e, as I'm not really sure what makes you think you aren't actually the retard in this situation. The first rule of criticisms is to MAKE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT, not just guess and then expect other people to accept that as fact.
If you write a horror story you're a horror novelist. If you write about Real Estate..well I shouldn't have to explain the rest huh?
The RHCP entry at number 8 - Had be laughing out loud in office. I'm getting the weird eye from all my colleagues... Probably gonna be called into the boss' office for a stern lecture now.
ReplyThat was pretty awesome. :D
For #14... WTF? Seriously, how can blacks be stereotypically homophobic if they rap about that kind of crap in their songs? Someone's in denial ....
ReplyLook how far Cracked has come since this article. It's actually good now!
ReplyYou can kind of tell that these are jokes by the fact they plainly state in the introduction that they aren't going to take all these lines at face value anymore, then promptly take all these lines at face value. Or you could remember tat this article is on a comedy website.
ReplyComedy Website...but I don't see any funny in this article.
"Everyone is gay" is a sarcastic statement. And gay here means 'happy'.
ReplyYou're assuming here Kurt GoBang was a good songwriter.
Is it ironic that an article entirely about jokingly taking song lyrics too literally is being taken way too literally by the commenters?
Replyon a comedy website, no less...
Really? Really "Cracked staff"? This article is SO BAD no one will claim it? You're going to be so literal with #9 "Everything I do, I do it for you." It was for Robin Effing Hood. He stole, he lied, he cheated, he killed...for his love. Wow. Morons. "But he poops" Sounds like an 8 year old's reasoning right there.
ReplyHas anyone bothered to remember that gay also means happy? I'm sure Kurt meant that sarcastically, as in, 'Everyone is happy'. Go ahead, I'm ready for the bashing.
ReplyI don't partake in gay comment bashing.
It boggles my mind that so many of these artists are now irrelevant or actually DEAD! Such lyrics should make one immortal...just to think that someone can eat more chicken than I have seen...and I was raised on a fuggin poultry farm! I have seen me some goddamn chickens and then some!
ReplyI read about a bunch of these in another Cracked article.
ReplyPretty good article, some of these were a pretty big stretch at comedy by using partial lines out of text, but still...you made fun of Jim Morrison so I'm in.
Reply#12: It's called a metaphor.
ReplyAs are half of these.
"Bryan Adams is not a robot, people-he poops. "
ReplyEverybody poops and if they don't they're an android, and should be destroyed...
