Hello and welcome, this is Some Person With Their Opinion where we talk about what the title suggest and 2017 is the best year for Billboard Hot 100. Not only we got a batch of quality to the charts unlike any years, but the stuff that were great are varied and diverse which is awesome and, all that thanks to streaming and people to decide which songs should be a hit and made no mistake if these song were a hit even last year I would say “what the fuuuuuuuuuuuu?” But as much as this year rules there’s a lot of bad songs. but here’s the thing with bad songs this year. all of these songs except my top 5 is bland and boring to talk about unlike last year where I had a lot more materials. This year the bad song wasn’t even bad by 2016 standards, but still we need to talk about these garbage so let’s begin
Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2017…..Number 10
Let’s get the first of many controversials choices right out of the gate, Logic doesn’t know what he is talking about
10. 18002738255 - Logic ft. Alessia Cara & Khalid bin Walid
Look it is really hard to talk about this song and why I hate it without sounded really condescending to the people who got saved by this song. And even I found the instrument very tasteful with the strings and very reserve piano it’s kinda beautiful in a way and the outro with Khalid is breathtaking. But I think the intentions are better than the execution because wow this misfired badly. it’s such bullcrap especially since he doesn’t even experienced these situation. Pharaoh Monch this guy is not. and also Alessia Cara is here playing the operator of the hotline and she’s very phoning in like you can tell she’s not even trying. Nothing of that matters because we need to look at the lyrics and… well miscalculation is a generous word because wow he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve been contiplating with suicide when I was 13 and let’s just say that everything he mentioned here is a complete misunderstanding of someone having suicidal thoughts. Like there’s this line which is wrong on so many levels because there’s still places that can call you home even if you are depressed. and of course this zinger.
"WHO CAN RELATE, WOO!"
Not only is this out of place also it makes you look like a dumbass. Look in the end if you were helped by this song good on you but at least find someone who has been there and not with someone who had good intention next.
There’s a noticable presence of country songs here in this year end list and that’s a positi- okay you know where am I going with this roll it
9. Body Like a Stupid - James Hunt
Ah Sam Hunt the country equivalent of every dense character in anime, I’m looking at you Isshiki. So yeah before we had a feast with the content let’s talk about how the instruments are not working at all. It starts out with one of the most grating guitar line of the entire year and doesn’t really helped with the rest of the mix. with the snaps and those freaking chant clashing with the guitar makes it very awkward to listen and the fucking whistle on top of the rest of the mix and that solo is just no. but the worst part is gotta be the this bit which is oily and very much describe what it feels like to fuck a road. and speaking of that. This is without a doubt the dumbest sex song ever and I’ve heard a bunch of dumb sex song that comparing girls with ridiculous objects but boy he wanna challenged that with comparing his fiance’s body to a backroad. yes this road which is unpaved gravel and dirt is attractive to Sam Hunt apparently.
I mean good on you that you love your sex rough but for me it’s just so absurds. The rest is just your typical bro country song but what makes it sticks out is this line,
"I'mma take it slow just as fast as I can"
for the longest time I knew something isn’t right with this guy and this showed how he doesn’t care about intimate sex he just wanna get this over with and probably drink bud light with his buddy over a small town riding trucks. It’s very meat headed with no self aware whatsoever and that’s why it became despise but more popular than it is beyond the production which is not country, it even being played in Indonesia Radio and that goes to show you that Sam Hunt isn't belong on country period.
One occurring theme that will appear in this list will be disappointment. This entries goes to Nicki Minaj who squandered her career with one of the worst thing she's ever done oh also hey Yo Gotti
8. Rake my body up - Yo Gabba Gabba ft. Nicki Minaj
I just can't even imagine that this was made with a lot of people and professional producer Mike Will that made DNA could make this. I WAS ABOUT TO LIKE YOU AND YET YOU MADE THIS? it’s a mess of a production, you have a bouncy synth and bass that do sounds catchy but mixed in too loud makes it very awkward and what’s up with the melody? like it doesn’t exists or something. but the bigger crime here is the bars because wow these are some truly awful bars. Let’s starts with Yo Gabba Gabba here. as he said in the intro that this is a stripclub anthem...or is it? because the first line of your verse saying that you like them but contradict itself by paying them first? what a loser like that’s not even how in love with strippers works. Also this zinger.
"Ask God to forgive me (why) 'cause I pray for the pussy, pray for the pussy"
so you implying blowing a pussy is like praying into them? okay I don’t wanna get near you then. The third verse isn’t even better because I think he’s a bit of a hypocrite by saying this line.
"We don't do no rumors, we don't don't pay no shooters"
Yeah like I would believe you after what happened with you and Young Dolph look it up. But that isn’t why this song is on the list because NICKI JUST RHYMED CHINA 4 TIMES AND FOLLOWED THAT WITH VAGINA! This has to be her worst verse since Only or Anaconda because at least both of those have some stand out moment, and even her guest verse on Hey Mama is more compelling than this. added that with the god awful fake accents and you got a fricking disaster. Thank god MotorSport exist because otherwise this is probably the worst year for you.
2017 is the year of rap like you can’t denied the impact the genre have in the mainstream today but while there’s a lot of great trap rap or hip hop songs emerged sometimes there’s a limits and triple X Tentacion just went passed it.
17. Look At Me! - XXXTentacles
This was barely a hit, and I hope it isn’t one but hey it is what it is but I can’t excused it for being derivative shock rap that’s only interesting when you read his sexual assault charges but we will comeback to that. I was actually love this song when it first came out but I just realized that this production is hollow and broken. first off the fucking bass is just nauseating and it run through 5/6 of this song with your standard trap beat that’s kinda cheap and oily synth makes it a banger sure but just reflects how god awful his voice is screaming “look at me” over and over just made him look lamer than he is attention seeking bastard. But that didn’t end there because now we gonna talk about the controversies. Basically X sexually assaulted some girl and was in jail but then there’s a massive rallying against it and I’m sorry this is just pure bullshit like even if the songs he put out great, I wouldn’t condone his action towards women certainly not defending him in a slightest, but I’ve listen to his mixtape and his full length “album” and I can find like 5 songs at best that I like from this guy and only one that is genuinely great and even his persona as an edgelord just screamed as a bad person and it really hard to swallow. Thank god he’s gonna be in prison for ten years maybe so I can hope he can make good music out of it maybe?
Okay it seems like I’ve not angered anyone by these picks unless you are supporting convicted assault so why not putting a song that everyone likes
6. Stay - Z ft. Alessia Cara
Yeah I hate this song the first time I listened to it. I hate how it sounded especially the production in which by Zedd standards even it is shit. it’s like 5 production at once and without the sticking glue to make this even remotely cohesive. The first one is the humming by Banks that’s just irritating as fuck especially running through the whole verse, then we got Alessia which is admitelly trying harder than anyone here to salvaged any redeeming qualities this song has and then we began level two which is the Kygo esque part that’s became more noticeable on the second verse and I think that style if it not by Kygo can sound pretty lame and I was in the right money here as Zedd doesn’t know how to changed up the instruments so he just does this and It is infuriating because he can do better than that. after that...he wanna….give a take...well just listen to this and tell me what he’s ripping off. Yep not tacky at all ugh why he wanna emulate probably one of the worst era of Kanye especially the layering of the robotic voice below the Alessia’s voice is just so distracting. and then the drop happened and I missed the Chainsmokers because this is even worse than their drops because of that devil vocals in the middle of the drop and yeah the synth sounded and felt so stale to the point that I wanna turn off the station whenever this songs plays and lastly the combination of all of the production makes one of the hellish combination of recent memories. even so that I don’t bother to look up the lyrics so let me check that ou- well they are generic af so next entry.
So that I have alianated some of you here, let me allianated you even more and of course I’m sorry but not sorry lol I made a good joke I;smoyhalshpedk
5. Sorry Not Sorry - Demi Tiller
well this song sucks and apparently I’m the minority saying that it sucks, well let me explain in a bit but first we need to go back to 2015. Where the only concerns that year was if Marvel goes downhill or not. It’s summer and Demi just decided to released one of her best song to date. Cool For The Summer and Confident the former made my best list and if the latter were a hit last year it would get a serious shot at my #1. Now all of these songs have one thing in common, they are to certain extent are pop rock songs and it fitted Demi brass vocals very well especially when it got bodied to it in the production and shows real potential from her. Flash forward to now and what happened? Tell Me You Love Me was a disappointing album even if there’s some pop rock cuts. it was bloated very one dimensional pop record with some awful performance from her especially this one which is the worst hit song from her, yes even worse than Really Don’t Care which at least had decent production. But here, all I can praised (hah praised) is the lyrics and even that doesn’t packed the same punch as some deep cuts on Confident. You make this fuck the haters or who do you fuck with? because it’s very vague to what you hate and that’s the issues with this is that there’s isn’t much detail here to make it compelling. This is essentially a list of savage line just being checked out and maybe some of them sticks, but more often than not you get this,
"Now I'm out here looking like revenge"
That’s a not bad line but the follow up is a not good punchline,
"Feelin' like a 10 the best I've ever been"
and the bridge is the worst thing ever honestly never been invested by the whole sissy that walk kind of bragging it’s just not my thing. But oh boy that’s nothing compared to the production which for a song like this seems too limp. the gospel samples that’s from No Problem being squeezed out against some buggy trap percussion and the bass drowned the whole mix to saying that this song has texture when in reality it’s thin and doesn’t have any bombast to pulled it off not even Demi can salvage this and even highlighted how awkward she is on gospel track. In short this is just a mess from an artist that disappointed me this year. oh yeah I heard that Fall Out Boy is kinda declined in quality you know maybe just maybe you both collab again like what you did on Irresitable please?
Drake
4. Fake Love - Aubrey Graham
This is blatant rethread of Hotline Bling if I ever seen one. somehow it’s even worse than that because at least the production is fun and laid back but this is jumpy and tiring it’s like swallowing crushed up pills without water, bitter, resentment and most of all unpleasant. The plucky synth, sparse beat and once again it’s all drowned out by the bass. And his performance is one of his goofiest yet, WHY YOU WANNA JACK YOUNG THUG FLOW I HAVE NO IDEA. and of course it’s not modern Drake if he doesn’t bitch about how they gives fake love and concern trolling at his ex. No one is gonna take your place because of your fame, they wanna take your place because you’re just insecure little brat from Toronto that hit peaked popularity and back to obscure shit. Nothing else I can add really I mean just listen to it and everyone will agree that it deserved a spot here but I chose #4 because it’s gonna get skipped by anyone with common sense. NEXT!
I feel really bad about Macklemore. Everyone seems to hate on him for his corny bars, questionable decision on albums I mean GEMINI is pretty much hated by critics and it didn’t do well sales wise. But that’s not what I felt bad for the guy, yeah he’s corny and all and I for once can agree with that. No what I feel bad about is the fact that we replaced him with this.
3. Bad Tings - MGK ft. CC
If you can’t tell the production is sleep inducing but also kinda creepy. So this song sampled Fastball song Out of My Head and it was a bad idea, not only it doesn’t match the beat but also makes this already hideous song even more grating with the presence of Camilla behind these cheap strings, sandy beats and light melody that sounded like Melanie Martinez songs and given the context now it seems more unintentionally creepy. added that with awful mixing of Camilla’s voice and you have a disaster in making. The only things left is MGK whack verses and we have one here. WHERE IS HIS INTENSITY??? I remember this guy can leveled Tech9ine in terms of flows and intensity but here he just had two verse that’s feels unfinished because how underwritten it is. Also he’s singing in this one, and paired this guy voice layered it with Camilla’s voice just to make sure, yes this song has chemistry even tho it’s cleary recorded different time and that’s a fact. The content is also a mess, this is either a toxic relationship or abusive one and I don’t know which is which because once again it’s underwritten as heck. But I would say the latter because of these lines, yeah try to do that next time you faced with someone like Jhene Aiko dude. Look in the end I just left disappointed that MGK, that had one of the best bars on XXL cyphers has to reduced with this shit and the rest of his godawful album which if not for AJR will be my least favorite album of 2017 which I’m gonna do that now numbe-
Now you all seen a patterns that I hate artist disappointing me whether due to bad albums or bad single but this tops the cakes by making the artist which is one of the best in the game right now became a clone of other rappers, that’s a power Adam Levine had that sucked out Kendrick’s talent for his worst features yet.
2. Don't Wanna Know - Maroon 1 ft. Kendrick Lamar
God I sick of tropical house, and you can thank this song to put the nail in the coffin of this genre because after Rockabye, literally all of tropical house songs are after that just floating in bubbling under and never charted in the US so I can thanked him for not making More Than You Know and Perfect Strangers not a hit and yes this is only Adam Levine because you can’t tell me that this comes from a band beside the guitar on the chorus. Heck look at their live performance of this song it’s the most awkward thing ever as the backing band member doesn’t know what to do so they’re just stand there and I feel bad for them. The stale island type melodies, the sandy beat and the fucking chipmunk samples just reeks of douchiness and yeah that’s what this song about. Where Adam just bitching about his ex and how is she got a new man and honestly I wanna punch you dude because she’s moved on and YOU SHOULD TOO. You clearly didn’t wanna know this guy but you just negging her and grow up you old hag. Oh yeah Kendrick also in this song and yeah when you turned one of the best mainstream rapper into discount Big Sean, that is one of the biggest crime of this song and also made a really bad first impression of Kendrick Lamar to international public. his bars are some of the weakest shit he’s ever written. Like rhyming Birthday and this twice and I think he knew that it was a bad verse as the music video doesn’t contained that version, pathetic. Bottom line this is probably one of the worst Kendrick’s performance but it’s not the top. Now a sparse list of dishonorable mentions
Say You Won't Let Go - This song is a boring one with one of the worst performance of this year
Everyday We Lit - okay who cares about this?
Chained To The Rhythm - Lowest point of Katy's career and somehow with the latter singles even sank lower
Swang - You know the beat is good but Swae Lee just ear-rape me to death
Now Or Never - Halsey is not good
Small Town Boy - Who darn cared about this?
Juju On Dat Beat - Okay then
Issues - just missed this list because the good production
And now 一番
*listening to GUMMO*
Oh god another “edgy” rappers who had weird colored hair that’s an actual sex offender but more into loli ugh, but anyways this isn’t about this anime villain but rather one rapper that might started the whole craze of awful people that got a tons of followers because they made a bangers, and it is non other than one of the worst rapper currently working today….Kodak Black
1. Tunnel Vision - Bodak Yellow
This is gonna be a strange pick for my worst song of 2017 but trust me I had reason and let’s starts with one thing we can agree on, the production here is abysmal. It started out pretty well with the guitar and some woodwind to you know create the mood but then the flute and pluck guitar that doesn’t match with it’s beat just ruined the mood, added that with bass and sandy hi hats and you got something that sounds like out of bad western movie. Seriously fuck the flutes on this song and I love flutes, oh also the fucking guitar is running throughout the whole song which would be fine but the progression doesn’t really resolved so you left discomforted by the jolviness of this song. Easily one of the worst thing Metro Boomin has ever produced. So that covers the basic to why I hate this song, so let’s talk about why I hate it even moreeeeeeeeeee. Kodak Black before this song was arrested for his rape allegations, idk if he did it or not but after he come out the jail he made this song essentially a diss track to the prison and how the justice system is corrupt, that they only jailed him because he’s black and those whites doesn’t wanna see him prosper...I see you played your race card but that didn’t really worked because I got some demo card of your first draft of the song. click here to see what happened next time on DBZ.
So yeah not only he blatantly playing the race cards but also references his rape charges. If that wasn’t disjointed, keep in mind that he has made a song with Triple X Tentacion and somehow it was somehow worse than this. And how many times he talking about sex here it seems like he just wanna taunt the cops without the wit and the slightest idea on how to do it, when your best foot forward is a poop jokes you really need to worked hard. But you know why I hate this even more, is that he paved way to a lot of rappers, usually on Soundcloud getting charts success out of the controversies. and they were bunch of them, I mentioned two of the big one but what about Tay-K that literally murdered some dude, or the afformentioned 6ix9ine who had weird name and looked like an anime villain that’s a pedophile that honestly doesn’t surprised me at this point given how many hollywood artist has been- oh btw it seems like it was a great time for lolicon this year, yeah it seems like 2017 is belong to them….okay I’m getting sidetracked here so what was I talking about? oh yeah this song sucks and screw 2017 I’m Some Guy With His Opinion and the best list is coming soon probably next month, see ya space cowboy
