    Actually Eminem has a s-hit load of them

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

    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 -

    "U.G.L.Y, you ain't got no alibi, you ugly, huh huh, you ugly"


    Daphne and Celeste putting the wit into twits.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭timesnap


    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

    Canibus rapping about LL Cool J in Second Round K.O.



    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

    "I wont beat you up, I wont push you around, because if i do that the cops will grab me for doin it"


    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"

    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. :)
