Rapper Puts Asinine, Trite, Faux-Poignant Lyrics To Fresh, New Beat
By Lee Camp
LOS ANGELES - Rapper Ludacris dropped cliché, seemingly poignant lyrics on a fresh, new beat Tuesday for a track that will be part of his new album entitled "Bitches and Bullets."
Many fans doubt that Ludacris can ever top the groundbreakingly trite words from his previous song "Stick 'Em Up" when he said, "Hallow laid, hollow sprayed, I'm the hollow man/ I get to my hollow point wit my hollow plan/ Hollow bullets I pull it I'm about to live in vain/ And then I drill 'em refill 'em make sure they feel the pain."
However, the award-winning rapper insists his new album will sound even more like every other rap album and have even juicier beats backing up the tired words and ideas.
When asked about the album Ludacris said he just wants to keep it real and talk about his life, which involves innumerable ho's, bling, and cars.
Some critics claimed that Ludacris was not faux-poignant enough in the past, but he silenced those reviewers with his 2006 song "Mouths To Feed." Apparently channeling someone who is not nearly as wealthy as he, Ludacris said in the song, "Look I gotta feed my family by all means necessary/ Cause paychecks are comin up shorter than February/ Can't get a real job, I never finished school/ Can't get no new clothes, I wore the same tennis shoes."
The rapper said this song really gets to the heart of the problems he no longer deals with, nor understands. He said he basically wanted listeners to know that paychecks are often shorter than the month of February, which clearly only has 28 or sometimes 29 days. And one must keep in mind that the words of this poet laureate are always put to fresh, hot beats. Stagnant, elderly beats need not apply.
