1.) "Dick"
Seriously, Dog...I don't give a sh!t about your penis...who's suckin it, who's riding it, who needs to "hop off" of it, how big (or little) it is, definitely don't particularly give a sh!t about what you do with it, or any other homoerotic metaphors that you choose to use in reference to your genitals. references to "Balls" are kinda funny though (no homo).
Examples:
Styles P: G'd Up Remix- "F*ck Ya'll Niggas you can S*ck my d*ck, with c** on the Tip of it" - This is by far the most offensive and disgusting visual image in all of hip hop music. Styles, What the F*ck, Dog? Are you f*cking Kidding Me, Dog?
Nas: Rewind - "I told her, "No hell"...She talkin 'bout, "Me kiss"...Bobbed her head then spit the nut back in my dick...Started suckin with no hands, a whole lotta spit
Then got up and put her bra back on her tits" THis was a Genius song in which Mr, Jones rapped a typical "Hood" story backwards, but it this event could have been described much better.
2.) "Hustlin"
Every since Jay-Z came out with his "I'm a Hustler disguised as a rapper" persona, every no name MC came out talking about how he Hustles. Just because you sold a dime bag of weed, or pack of incense, you are not a hustler. EVERYBODY is a Goddamned Hustler now. Seriously...Chill with that bullsh*t. It doesn't make you a better rapper, or give you more Street Cred. At this point, it has no meaning.
Examples:
Rick Ross: Hustlin' - "Everyday I'm Hustlin, Everyday I'm Husstlin'" [Repeat 10-15 times]
Allmusic.com Search Results for "Hustlin'"
3.) Swagger and/or Swag.
According to Merriam Webster, the definition of swagger is: to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner; especially : to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence. Recently every rapper that popped up out of nowhere has been boasting about thier "Swag" and it has now become a buzz word to be synonymous with being cool. Here's my problem with that trend: If you constantly tell me about your "swag" you don't have any...In My eyes, at least. It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that you indeed are swaggerific, swagtastic, but in reality you are an insecure nerd who watched too much television. Real swagger can only exist if it isn't acknowledged by the person with the swag.
Examples:
Soulja Boy - "Turn My Swag On"
4.) Hate/Hater/Hating
I did an entire Declaration of the Droog Dedicated to this bullsh!t, but It is essential for it to be included in this Post.

THANKS FOR THE LINK! That's the 2nd time I've seen that image used.
Here's a history of words or phrases that irked me as I remember from the late 90's.
------------
Represent.
I'm Real.
The over use of gangster or thug.
Swagger/ Swag
I paint pictures.*
A, AAAAAA, Ayyyyyyy!!!**
Take is back, bring it back or take it to the next level ***
* Note, Mr. Average MC: ever since Jay-Z used that metaphor, way too many emcees decided to borrow the phrase and use it to death. Please stop it. MF'er I paint, draw and doodle pictures. You do not.
Thank you. My rant ends.
** If I hear another wanna-be-make-quick-money off rap MC using ayyyyyyy A, A, A in their chorus . . . please stop.
*** This is the crap, that you will continuously hear in interviews. While it is possible for some emcees to "bring it back" or "take it back" let's be real here. Come on son . . . very few, I would say less than 5 emcees have really took it to another level in the last few years.
Example: When De La Soul came out, they truly took it to another level. Dr. Dre's production took it to another level with the Chronic.
Outkast has often set higher standards for hip hop that paved the way for MANY emcees including Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak.
P.E. and the Bombsquad took hip hop production to another level.
Examples of cats that didn't take it to another level? I don't have time and would be accused of being a serious hater. BTW, I am a hater.
Yo Scratch,
No problem...your website is dope.
You are so on point with that Next Level sh!t. HA! I can't stand when dudes talk about that. I just want to grab them and yell; "Dog you are rapping on the same garbage beats that were on your first album!!! STOP acting like you are reinventing the genre."
I posted this back in April '09 and thought you would enjoy.
