This applies only to the hip-hop heads on this board, though there may be few:
Man, if I never hear another track lauding "CHI TOWN CAN YA HEAR ME!" or "O-TOWN BE ROCKIN!" or "MUCH LOVE TO PHILLY!"
Alright, we get it, your music is enjoyed across the country, and in some cases, the world. No kidding, so is every other freakin' genre. Yes, we can all hear you. Yes, we're all rocking. Yes, we appreciate your love. Stop throwing out random city or state names.
Corollary rant: Why do so many superb hip-hop albums insist on having 4 or more awful skit tracks?

Dre and Snoop popularized it and everyone else kept doing it just to fill up album space.

I always liked this line:
"Givin the shout out to my Uncle Donnel locked up in prison."

There is nothing more obnoxious than someone like DJ Drama or DJ Khaled screaming over a track about some [expletive] that nobody cares about. That's the most obnoxious thing in rap/hip-hop.

I've only heard that in mixtapes.
"DRAMATIC DRAMATIC!" echoing.

Oh my God, that's so terrible. It's on T Pain's "Karaoke," too. DJ Khaled just runs his mouth the entire time and ruins what is actually a pretty good track.
