    1. Talking during a song. Often at the beginning, sometimes it's at the end. If you're going to talk at least make it a separate skit.

    2. Excessive use of the N word. When dudes spit 5 straight lines that end with ''N**ga'' cause they can't think of a better way to make what they want to say rhyme.

    Definitely agree with 2. Sometimes it's even worse than 5 lines

    I hate when the beat drops to emphasise a punchline.

    Shoutout to themselves throughout the whole song. Example DJ Khaled loves to do this

    Use of air horn, obnoxious and unnecessary

    Agree w all these.
    +
    - hooks that's just one sentence repeating 20 times (example Future's hook on I Got The Keys) or just repeating la la la or na na na lol (can be outside the hook too)
    - making grammar mistakes when it's not needed. Like 'you was with me' ... I get when they do it when it sounds better but 'you were with me' is fine. And yes I know its slang, it just bugs me when they do it for no reason. In before some r----- is gonna call me a racist for this, lemme say that I also heard eminem do it :emoji_wink:
    - super fast rapping
    - the overuse of the word 'tonight' in music
    - repeative beats
    - playboy carti

    When lyrics don’t add up. Example ye’s “I keep it 300, like the Romans” line
