8. Will.i.am Feat Jennifer Lopez And Mick Jagger - T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjIwmJMqrco Totally Whack Lyrics: "Tell that jealous chicken that I know where the beef is" and "I'm work hard, thats my thesis, this beat is the s**t, faeces "(Time 00:51 and 00:55) Here will.i.am goes all out to deliver the most synthesised and clunky kind of track with T.H.E (The Hardest Ever). An over-stuffed collaborative effort with Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger providing the polish to a befuddling shiny song that somehow manages to be a pop-rock-techno-rap cocktail of unattainable proportions. Apparently no one ever taught him the-less-is-more approach. This is another example of Will's continued obsession with technology even if it's just in the excessive product placement within the music video. And then there's the lyrics It was hard picking just one to take the crown - so we gave honourable mention to these two stinkers. You have to admire how on earth he thought "tell that jealous chicken that I know where the beef is" ever sprawled through his thought process. He's been known for his bizarre comments as a judge on 'The Voice' and this inept choice of words supports the theory that he might have a few wires loose. And then he outdoes himself with "this beat is the sh*t, faeces". Come on dude, really? Just using the word 'faeces' makes you seem like a d**che. It does not make you cool to rhyme "thesis" with "faeces". It just seems desperate and cheap. Side note: 'Pop-Rock-Techno-Rap' will probably be the name of his next album.
