She should never brag about charting more than 100 tunes on the Billboard charts since her 2009 debut because that means something significant. Nicki Minaj is the biggest smoke-and-mirrors act of this generation of music artists.
“The Night Is Still Young” by Nicki Minaj Mariah Carey’s ultra-nasally carbon-copy rehashes her 2014 hit single “Problem” that sounded more annoying and instantly forgettable than its predecessor. I do not understand the hype around this singer and his “trap soul” sound, but this tune was nothing groundbreaking and quite homogeneous to the likes of what Trey Songz, Ty Dolla Sign, Omarion, Jeremih and every other male R&B pseudo-singer gets away with on urban radio. Much like Katy Perry’s #1 global smash hit “Dark Horse,” any singer with a trap beat featuring legendary rapper Juicy J on the guest verse finds him stealing the thunder from the main, and more accomplished, artist. I miss the premium-R&B/pop singer/songwriter Ne-Yo he once was before he sold out to the EDM wave a few years ago. The most boggling element of this song is, quite frankly, almost the entire song of Silento telling the listener to watch him do every popular dance of the past three decades instead of a new original dance craze. Now that I know that this was artist taking a huge bite from Soulja’s 2007 #1 smash “Crank That,” I preferred a Soulja Boy comeback.
When I first heard this single, I could have sworn that the artist was Soulja Boy and agonized at the thought of a Soulja Boy comeback. Cole’s co-sign with a guest verse that may go down as his weakest verse of his entire discography. Though all of Jeremih’s 2015 singles degraded R&B music into ratchetness and terrible vocals, the big sin of this track was highly respected rapper J. Cole)Īs long as Chicago R&B “crooner” Jeremiah is allowed to record music for major record labels for urban radio spins, the R&B genre will always be intensive care. Nonetheless, this song is a rip-off of his 2014 hit single “Loyal” that was watered down a few times. Brown is the laziest male R&B artist of the past decade, perhaps because he has more creative control and keep releasing bodies of work annually that boast mediocre, degrading music, if I want to deem what he creates as music. Who cares that Tyga is on this track when he questionable love life has been the hot topic of 2015? Now, let’s get to Chris Brown. This song is a forgettable lead single for an album that is set up to be a follow-up to a mega-selling opus that boasted huge singles “Thrift Shop” and “Same Love.” This rap duo’s lyrics are terrible and got lost, fortunately, in a recycled in a early 1980’s b-boy hip-hop production that would have better received if the sound has some sort of modernization. Kid Ink’s guest feature is forgettable as the melody composition is lazy at best, even for a solo act with limited singing talent (see Jennifer Lopez).
How in the hell does a urban-pop group perform under a name that includes the word “Harmony” when they sing songs without harmony? Like most 2015 uptempo songs fronted by urban-pop singing acts, this song is heavily reliant on the beat to attract listeners despite being a Jason Derulo rip-off (see “Talk Dirty To Me”). “Worth It” by Fifth Harmony (featuring Kid Ink)
This particular list contains songs that were an artistic disappointment for established artists, terrible representations of talent for promising acts, one-and-done hits by artists who do not deserve another hit and tunes that further explain why it is time to end the career of artists who are getting away with ruining popular music.Ĭheck out my list of the worst 15 songs of 2015. As I gathered my list for the worst songs of 2015, I spent a few hours debating which of the 43 songs I considered to include needed to be addressed on the mediocrity each tune got away with. While music critics praised 2015 as a progressive year for pop, rock and country music genres, R&B, hip-hop, rap and urban-pop music sounded lazier and more homogenized than ever.
