La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
la, la, la, la then you cant tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
(Ha ha) you can't tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
-Kanye West
-- This is one of the most irritating choruses in the history of music. This is repeated throughout Mr. West's song, "Can't Tell Me Nothing." It actually makes me angry. Like, white knucles and grinding teeth; REAL anger. I hear it all the god damned time in my house, as my roommate is a big fan (and seems to think that turning up the volume makes shitty music better). Notes to Kanye:
-- Right does not rhyme with right, and nothing does not rhyme with nothing; IT'S THE SAME FUCKING WORD.
-- Furthermore, the placement of the word "right" in the first two lines doesn't even make sense. It seems that you tacked the word onto the end of the lines to make it rhyme (too bad rhyming the same word over again doesn't work and just makes me angry).
-- Is you saying something? IS you!? Come on, Kanye; go back to school.
-- Seemingly overlooked grammatical rule; a double-negative forms a positive. According to your lyrics, I can't tell you nothing. Since I am unable to tell you nothing; you've said that I have to tell you something. I don't think this was your intended message. And repeating this error three times does not help your cause.
-- Now look back over the chorus, ignoring the nit-picking I've just done. Accept its flaws; just look at its underlying message. THERE IS NONE. So you're going to get some money? And that is going to keep me from saying anything to you? Wow, that's deep...
-- I hate you.
