[Bonus] Worst Of Unnecessary Rap Breaks

Here's another Worst Of that was previously alluded to poorly (both in terms of mechanics and time). There are always songs that are good (or even just average) that suddenly nosedive because of a rap section that is not only bad, but also unwanted and unneeded. Lots of songs fit this category so it wasn't easy to choose a small handful - because I really did try to pick the five biggest offenders - but I ended up with these selections. They are presented in a rough order but that doesn't mean much. I despise all these rap breaks equally.

#5. Verbal Jint, in Taeyeon - I

Even though this piece is 5th, it's easily the instance that comes to mind when I think of unnecessary rap breaks. Verbal Jint is a god, I know, but that doesn't stop him from having mediocre moments. And his entrance into Taeyeon's solo debut was definitely one of them. Not only is the rap itself in a strange section of the song, the rapping is not memorable either (or only memorable for being unneeded). The English is also strange, though I could say the same for the rest of the song. What exactly does "my life is a beauty" mean?

[Bonus] Worst Of SM Entertainment

This ought to be fun. Time for some motherfucking negativity up in here! Keeping with the S.M Entertainment theme, we're going to look at some of the worst selections (that are title tracks of course) to ever come out of that company. I did rank them, but that really means little when we're looking at the bottom of the barrel here. Some of the reasons are music-related, and some are purely hate-based. If something sounds bad, then it's bad. Simple as that. Let's see the worst material from one of the top entertainment labels in Korea.

#10. BoA - Nega Dola

Remember we're talking about bad songs so it's better to be up here than down there. Boy it feels bad to list BoA but I gotta do it. "Nega Dola" isn't even a below average song, but it would've been a great song if not for the horrific decision to make BoA rap. There are some things that you should never do. Giving BoA some pitiful rap lines in every verse leaves an awful taste in your mouth, and an awful sound in your ears. SME hardly has the rapping profile with their members, I don't know what they were thinking making BoA do that. Literally ruined the song for everyone.

#9. Super Junior - Mamacita

It's like "Mamacita" was a stepping stone or experiment to figure out how to incorporate international beats. Clearly needed some trial and error since "Lo Siento" was solid whereas "Mamacita" was...not. Everything about this track just feels awkward, like it's going through puberty or something. Even the typically sweet vocals from Kyuhyun and Ryeowook seem off. That rap break by Eunhyuk and Shindong is atrocious, so it's exactly like the average Super Junior rap! "Close your lips, shut your tongue" will always be associated with their cringe rap moments.

#8. TVXQ - Humanoids

TVXQ has had some magnificent highs and dreadful lows. They certainly support those type of eclectic tastes. I reviewed "Humanoids" on the blog before and it only scored a 70 thanks to appearance points and me liking the choreography at the time. Now with a refined taste in Kpop dances I can say it's not a strong dance. The chorus isn't half-bad...if all they were doing was singing. Too much chanting and rambling random shit. A hodge podge of mediocrity creates a mediocre product.
