"Will Smith don't have to curse in his raps to sell records, well I do, so **** him and **** you too"-Eminem

Actually Eminem has a s-hit load of them

This M-N-M fellow has a "**** Load" of Quality "Put-Downs"? Why, excellent!

Do take the time to use your Mo Fo keyboard and share them with us.

I'm just being indulgent here but I gotta include the whole song

'Scum' by Nick Cave.

"Well, I lived with one
Well, I lived with one, I lived with two,
I even lived with a third
I wanna tell you about number one
He was a miserable ****wringing turd
Like he reminded me of some evil gnome
Shakin hands was like shakin a hot, fat, oily bone
Holdin on for far too long
Yes he took me in, he took me in
He said that I looked pale and thin
I told him he looked fat
His lips were red and lickin wet
His house was roastin hot
In fact it was a ****in slum
Scum! Scum!
Well then he hooked up with some slut from the same game
Black snow! Black snow!
Cocksuckstress, and I should know
Mean and vicious, her microphone always smelled suspicious
His and herpes bath towel type
If you know what I mean
I could not look at him, worm
He'd be takin a shower and who should walk in
He was the epitome of their type
Her middle name was Welcome, his was Wipe
Scum! Scum!
Well you're on the **** list
Thrust and twist, twist and screw
You gave me a bad review
And maybe you think that it's all just water under the bridge
Well my UNfriend, I'm the type that holds a grudge
I'm your creator
I think you ****in traitor, chronic masturbator,
****licker, user, self-abuser, jigger jigger!
What rock did you crawl from?
Which ..... did you come?
You Judas, Brutus, Vitus, Scum!
Hey four-eyes, come
That's right, it's a gun
Face is bubble, blood, and ...... street
Snowman with six holes clean into his fat ****in guts
Psychotic drama mounts
Guts well deep then a spring is fount (?)
I unload into his eyes
Blood springs
Dead snow
Blue skies"

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Cos there's......

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just good not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong -

Damn the ones who got the Dylan put downs in before me.:)

John Lennon was good at one line put downs also:

This being my favourite in the context of the rest of the verse:

I just believe in me,

I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,

I guess I was wrong I just don't belong
but then I've been there before, everythings alright
I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then, sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar (haha) and you can kiss my ass

And if you really want to show off, we can get it on
Live in front of the cameras on your own sitcom
I'll let you kick a verse, f**k it, I'll let you kick em all
I'll even wait for the studio audience to applaud [cheers]
Now watch me rip the tat from your arm
Kick you in the groin, stick you for your Vanguard award
In front of your mom your 1st, 2nd and 3rd born
Make your wife get on the horn call Minister Farrakhan
So he could persuade me to squash it, I saw naw he started it
He forgot what a hardcore artist is

Although he has one of the most suspect put downs in the same song
Well lemme tell you somethin, you might got mo' cash then me
But you ain't got the skills to eat a nigga's ass like me

Elliott Smith 'Shooting Star'-About an attractive yet shallow slut:)

"You'll make the scene like you always do
Goin' upstream down the avenue
To **** some trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar.
So bad, so far.
You'll make him sad, shooting star."

"You're distant and cold, and a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs.
But no one gets on with you very long,
'Cause you don't feel bad when you lie"

Just looking at your history, you're like the girl from Misery... Kanye west.

From the sublime Soft Cell:

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo, crying in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it never happens again.
You and I it had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a sleep around, a lost and found
and not for me, I fear

and to make sure she got the message:

Under the deep red light, I can see the make-up sliding down
Hey little girl, you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown.
What about me - well I'll find someone that's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life
and won't keep going off the rails

Anyone who thinks David Gray came up with genius like this, shame on you!

Nice one, Though my screen is starting to smoke showing Chris De Burgh and Bob Dylan in the same sentence.

I seen him once, in Camden Town, Sunday market day. He was walking around head angled, trying to be anonymous, but also looking to see if anyone noticed him. In the 20 seconds he was in my view, nobody did.

He sweated on me, in the RDS many years ago. When he shook his mop of hair as I was standing at the front leaning on the stage, quite chuffed I was.
