top 50 Hot 100 hits of 2011

it's not supposed to be! in fact that's kind of its charm

the Phil Oakey Clause does not apply here.

measuring how 'good' a singer is objectively is pretty rockist and/or HI DERE-ish

the buzzing autotuned "MMMMMMM" that wayne ends the song with is so disgustingly unpleasant that i'll never give the track any credit as an enjoyable recording, but i'm saying the song itself is just fine

"how to love" is kind of a sensitive well written song

I agree with this but musically it's soporific.

It sounds like something Stargate would do at 8AM before they've had their coffee

oh yeah production wise it's kind of ugly and chintzy

those tinny snare triplets are straight soundclick

it's kind of like if your spouse who doesn't know how to sing or dance or play an instrument, learned how to sing/dance/play an instrument and sang you a love song on your birthday

or baked you a cake that ended up tasting like ass apples (the important part being she baked you a cake)

while Stargate are in the kitchen, quietly drinking coffee.

here's another jam for all you ppl boosting "How To Love"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzEAyUrv4A8

"how to hate" f/ t-pain is hilarious and the best song on c4 though

easily

prob would be the best song on the t pain album too

the t-pain leaks have felt so dull and forced

the album is only okay i think

i haven't listened to it yet you act like thr33 ringz is his crowning achievement so your opinion is a little suspect, no offense

you act like thr33 ringz is unlistenable bcuz it has skits so your opinion is a little suspect, no offense

haha it's not bad or anything but i mean nothing on it would make like t-pain's top 30 songs

okay that's crazy

ok maybe "chopped n skrewed". but it's very middling, his first two albums each have 10 songs better than anything on it.

t-pain ruined 'the way you move' w/ his asinine 'left cheek right cheek' bit

that's just a reference to his single 'booty wurk' but that's not really a defense

born this way

fuck outta here

the song feels like such a distant memory now that i didn't put it on my year-end list but i still have no problem with "born this way"

yeah it's seriously one of the most unpleasantly shrill songs i've ever heard in radio rotation

^anything up there that approaches the description 'unpleasant and shrill'?

it's kind of like if your spouse who doesn't know how to sing or dance or play an instrument, learned how to sing/dance/play an instrument and sang you a love song on your birthday

smh i hope no spouse of mine would try this
