Day 9- So You Can Cry

I realize, much to my shock, that I haven't touched rap/hip-hop yet here.  It's understandable why there would be so many terrible lyrics in the genre, namely that it is a genre that focuses on the lyrics over the music, although that has started to become less the case now.  Anyhow, there is a ton of truly terrible stuff in rap, and I'll try to highlight it a lot of it here.  The problem is that a lot of songs use kitschy things or nonsense/bizarre phrases intentionally, and I can't count that.  No, I have to look at lyrics where there was actually some serious thought put in, where the artist likely thought that the line was a really good idea.  Here is a prime example of that from Ne-Yo's So You Can Cry...

I won’t attend your pity party / I’d rather go have calamari.

OK, seriously, Ne-Yo?  Really?  This was the best you could come up with?  This sentence serves to paint Ne-Yo as both insensitive and really dumb; probably not what he was going for.  What pains me about this is that I can just see the thought process; heck, if I was brainstorming, I might write that down.  It rhymes, it has a word not often heard in pop music, I can hear the beat behind it.  But you know what?  It should never have gotten past the brainstorming stage, Ne-Yo.  Never.
