Some things are just so cliche that no matter how much you try and avoid them they reappear over and over. But in the name of cleaning house for 2010 can we please bid adieu to the following lies rappers tell?

6. The “I Won’t Wife it” lie- For some reason rappers love to proclaim their pimping skills. Remember a tid bit ago when Jay-Z said those famous words- “Not for nothing never happen, I’ll be forever macking” (Big Pimpin) I guess that’s until you meet Beyonce- huh! And what about the little jab he threw at Bey on “Minute Man” (“Get your independent ass outta here…question?”)

5. The “I don’t write my rhymes down” lie-  Ok maybe Wayne can get away with this but the rest of yall- give it up!

4. The “I sold drugs and was a king-pin before I rapped” lie- Haven’t we all learned from Rick Ross that all lies come to the light!

3.The “I do drugs” lie- So you mean to tell me that every rapper has had some stint with marijuana or liquorr. Even Bow Wow has claimed to be a little messed up in the brain over some weed. Actually he may have been when he did this album:

2.The “I’m a sex guru” lie- Not every rapper has a magic stick but they will surely try and make you believe they do.

1. The “I hate cops” lie- Sure, you hate them up until you need to call them to protect you!

    someone needs to write lil waynes rhymes because that boy can’t rap at all.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GlacierDon/ GlacierDon

    What makes you think Wayne can get away with it? He doesn’t have to write because most of his rhymes are elementary and wack. The other part of the time he was using ghost writers!

    I can appreciate the art of getting in front of a mic without writing ur verse first, but PLEASE tell me what the hell is wrong with a well written album?? NOTHING is wrong with it..as a matter of fact, there plenty of people that would love to hear lyrics with substance and well thought out topics and content.Jay..I always appreciate what you bring to the game..Wayne..I also appreciate your input..but I can also appreciate an artist who takes time to write and prepare a record.

    continued..Writing is NOT a sign of weakness. It simply means you took time to think about what your presenting to the world. For those of you who take the time to put thought into those diluted, ignorant lyrics you put out..I really don’t have to much to tell you..LOL..Wise up..read a few books..enlightnen yourself and quit embarrassing the art of music…Theres nothing wrong with a party/street track here and there, but learn to have a balance in what you create. The songs you put out is what the world will remember you by

    Those MCs do write away from the booth, but what happens in the studio is that they’re in their head piecing together different raps they’ve written and memorized, with a little freestyle added. That’s what you hear on the records.

    Anyway, as far as what they say, sometimes a rapper is lying about his real life (unacceptable), but more often than not he’s painting the portrait of a character in a song (that’s OK)…maybe fans need to do a better job of telling the difference, and other rappers need not add fuel to it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jeffrey1975/ Jeffrey1975

    Please! Most kats are just entertainers. Try the real niggas thats locked down from Ca to NYC. Try them people that is scraping a few dollas to eat or a place to sleep for tonight. Although I love rap and hip hop, I only take it for what it is and that is entertaining. Now it is a few that really live that shct for real and big ups for the 95%, keep dancing and doing the sexy thing. Please!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Swayvo_/ Swayvo_

    damn, Wayne might as well come out of the closet. I remember when i met baby when he and R.Kelly were promoting that wack ass best of both worlds c.d. the nigga straight asked me if i ever been locked up before. Yeah nigga you remember you got it on tape to. Why ask me some s**t like that out of the blue. Yeah I been locked up but that don’t mean I’m a booty bandit…Yeah nigga I spit for 10 minutes straight non stop no hook. Kels all on my dick talking about the reason he went to baby and not to me is cuase baby a rapper and I’m a singer it’s still Chi-town love. No nigga i went to baby cause you were actinglike a itch when I saw you in the water tower. I made that call to the homies and the white hummer was surrounded when yall tried to leave out the back of Mac Authors. baby remember you tucking in your chain before you left out. solja slim was the only nigga who we showed love to.

    So is drake really like that? Based on the pic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ProBlackfist/ ProBlackfist

    Overall,all these rappers I don’t listen to now way.
    They wack and sell-outs to me.
    Go listen to Paris and the LP Sonic Jihad and you might learn and
    see how slavemaster has a new updated slave trick for black america.
    So why clown rappers are still promoting violence and other self hating
    non-sense.
    All us Pro-Black types we don’t care in general.
    Who stoled the soul of black america ?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mddarch/ mddarch

    SERIOUSLY!!! this blog takes things or statments way too seriously, these guys are entertainers and their goal is to entertain .cant u people see that..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ORIGINALSMACKS/ ORIGINALSMACKS

    Of course they lie. It’s about entertainment. Most of them tell the story of a person they knew or heard about in the hood. They watch the way people walk, talk and kick it when they are growing up and then they try to portray the person they admired in the hood.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexNthaKitchen/ SexNthaKitchen

    If Wayne doesn’t use a pen or pencil to write his rhymes, then he should, because what’s coming outta his mouth sounds like he wrote it with crayons and magic marker…so elementary!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BLAS1AN06/ BLAS1AN06

    The cars and the mansions portrayed in videos are mostly lies too. There usually rentals

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ambitious_balla/ ambitious_balla

    We all know the first cats to openly admit that they don’t write (on paper), was BIG and Jay-Z. They DO write in their head. They just use a method of memorizing in their head vice writing it down.

    Now let’s be real…95% of what Wayne says is complete babble. His attempts at punch lines hardly EVER make sense and he really says nothing at all. Occasionally, he’ll say some slick s**t, but its usually by accident, lol.

    Im tired of cats acting like dude is the new breath of rap. Only idiots understand his s**t because they’re too dumb to comprehend REAL lyricism.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MannyMannSC/ MannyMannSC

    Well to me all the s**t that 90% of rappers rap about is lies going to jial doing prison terms to selling drugs to being a pimp niggas please yall trying to live my life and trust me if i could start life completely over i would 10 years out of my life gone behind the street life so to all you fake ass gangsta rappers out there get a life while you tryin to live mines Mr Street Cred TV checkout season one (show) episode 4 it tells it all http://www.streetcredtv.net

    I see rappers and musicians as storytellers. So I don’t have a problem with them lying. Just tell new lies. This list is on the money. Lie about how you went to college and got a job or something.

    I would agree with the top six rapper lies because that is what is happening in the world and they want to claim it as theirs so they have to make up lies to get the publicity that they need to be famous.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/too_much7467/ too_much7467

    WHY ARE PEOPLE HATING ON THE FACT THAT RICK ROSS HAD A LEGIT JOB BEFORE HIS FAME??? DO YOU RELAIZE HOW MANY VERSUS THESE RAPPERS COME UP WITH? DO YOU REALLY EXPECT EVERY SINGLE LINE THEY DROP TO BE TRUTHFUL OR FROM THEIR VERY OWN EXPERIENCE???….IT’S ENTERTAINMENT PEOPLE, NOT MEANT TO TAKE LITERALLY ALL THE TIME…LAST TIME I CHECK HAVING A JOB WAS A GOOD THING, AND ALSO LET’S NOT FORGET HOW THE JOB DOESN’T MAKE THE MAN NOR CAN YOU JUDGE SOMEONE BY THE JOB THEY DO…EX: ALL POLICE MEN AREN’T HONORABLE PEOPLE. MY POINT IS…STOP HANGING ON THEIR VERSUS…IT’S A SONG PEOPLE, IT’S CALL CREATIVITY.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BLAS1AN06/ BLAS1AN06

    @ too_much7467…nobody cracking on Ricky about having a job. Bragging about selling drugs when you didnt is a form of entertainment in music? might want to leave the fantasy to the movies.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/too_much7467/ too_much7467

    @Blas1an06..how do you know that man didn’t sell drugs? and why does it matter whether he did or didn’t, cuz he’s a rapper and must sell drugs? does that make him succesful or something? I think he should be applauded for having a real job and only having to rap a verse about selling drugs verses actually doing it.

    DEFINITION OF ENTERTAINMENT- Something that amuses, pleases, or diverts, especially a performance or show.

    Only you as an individual determines whats entertaining to you..bragging period is never good in my opinion.

    We all know there are some rappers who are lyrical, whether they flow with substance or not. My point was only to say this is a business and yes some rappers may rap from personal experience but some may hear a beat and start ryhming whatever comes to their dome which may or may not be their truth..either you like the song cause you can relate to it, or you just simply like the flow of it…EVERY SONG IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY…
    I personally think it’s sad that a person only likes a song or rapper because of the negative contents drugs, sex, killing etc..but at the same time people like what they like…I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I COMMENT, I’M NOT HEAVY INTO MUSIC LIKE DAT ANYWAYS, I listen to music when I clean up or when I’m getting ready for work or something…for me music isn’t necessarily meant to motivate me, it is however always a plus when there is a positive song that does just that.. but overall it is just entertaining.

    So what is the point of this article? Why is it supposed to be a bad thing to be a rapper and have a good relationship with your wife or girlfriend and be there for your kids???
    Just because Rick Ross was a cop doesn’t mean that he didn’t move every ounce or pound that he says he moved. It just means he got away with it. Cops do dirty shiit where i am from.
    And Drake’s real name is Aubrey Graham and he is from Canada. Why are we supposed to be shocked that he hangs with white people; didn’t you watch Degrassi?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xsquare/ xsquare

    A REAL cop will take offense to POETIC’s comments…rick ross was a security guard at a prison….HUUUUUUUUUGFE difference…a cop may have opportunity to do dirt….security guards at prisons? no…only can be a prisoner’s b***h….getting things in or out for them, or (in his case more likely) taking IT in and out from them/lol

    The fact is you ain’t “cool” dude if you’re not a drug dealing, womanizing, jail bird, untrustworthy statistic…….wow…..who made this standard for the Black male/rapper/hip hop artist/man? Who made that standard? Why so many men (not all) but many, living up to this disturbing stereotype?

    This is how music warps your brain, got ya thinking you to can be a “king pin” a “diva video girl” and oh yeah thats “cute” you’ve been bamboozled, lead a stray, run amuck! Take your life back from these stereotypes, please!

    What part of “ENTERTAINMENT” do people not understand? How many people have actually been shot by the likes of N.W.A.? If soooo many rappers were makin soooo much money sellin dope then they wouldnt be rapping! If they were that big time then the feds would NEVER allow them to legitimize all that money! I mean it’s common sense people…that’s like the old saying “I’m not a real doctor but I play one on TV.” Has anyone ever heard Plies speak in his real speaking voice? Not even close to what he portrays on his records! How about Shaggy? Anyone who takes it for more than what it really is – say it with me people…”ENTERTAINMENT!”-is extremely naive. So any of you out there that believes more than 10 percent of what comes out of rappers mouths is true should come buy this beautiful oceanfront property in Missouri that I have for sale!

    Well maybe the feeling is all the tough talking will build a macho image and solidify a following.

    Am old but with young ones I communicate it, and am told that it has palled now and they have had enough with the trashing of women, the gangster talk etc. It rode its crest and is on the wane no matter how many decibels are raised to prop up the genre.

    Maybe musicians generally will now actually start thinking while writing lyrics.
