Ok - here is a post that I know some of our folks have some passion for. Lets discuss the worst rap interludes of all time. You remember, those breaks in pop songs where some tool starts dropping some corny rhymes and typically ends with them name calling the star attraction on the track. As an example, here is a ditty by MC Skat Kat from the 1989's smash Paula Abdul hit " Opposites Attract":
"I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mic it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
With my homegirl, Paula Abdul"
So far, I have three that come to mind:
1) Blondie - "Rapture" - I don't care if Fab Five Freddy himself approved this track - that rap is so bad it makes me cringe. If Julia Child served you a White Castle burger, it would still be a slider.
2) Snow - "Informer" As if the song that gets the phrase "a licky boom boom down" stuck in your head isn't bad enough, there is a terrible rap in the middle.
3) Paula Abdul "Opposites Attract" - See example above.
So, what else have you got?

Good ones. But, you forgot the Rush rap interlude. I do love them, but...they blew it on this part of the song.
Jack -- relax.
Get busy with the facts.
No zodiacs or almanacs,
No maniacs in polyester slacks.
Just the facts.
Gonna kick some gluteus max.
Its a parallax -- you dig?
You move around
The small gets big. its a rig.
Its action -- reaction --
Random interaction.
So whos afraid
Of a little abstraction?
Cant get no satisfaction
From the facts?
You better run, homeboy --
A facts a fact
From nome to rome, boy.
Whats the deal? spin the wheel.
If the dice are hot -- take a shot.
Play your cards. show us what you got --
What youre holding.
If the cards are cold,
Dont go folding.
Lady luck is golden;
She favors the bold. thats cold.
Stop throwing stones --
The night has a thousand saxophones.
So get out there and rock,
And roll the bones.
Get busy!
okay...am I live???
if, so here are 2 that come to my mind for the most awesomely cheesy rap interludes ever!
1. "Now That We've Found Love" (Heavy D and the Boyz) Here's my favorite section. Notice the use of both "rose are red" AND "hunkey dory"!
What can we do
What are we gonna do
Roses are red and Violets are blue
Love is good and plenty
If you get plenty good lovin'
Do me right
Do me right
My lonesome dove
Tell me one more time
What is this thing called love
I'm not quite sure
As to what is going down
But I'm feelin' Hunkey Dory
'Bout this thing that I found
2."Another Night" (Real McCoy)
Just another night another vision of love
You feel joy you feel pain cuz nothing will be the same
Just another night is all that it takes
To understand the difference between lovers and fakes
So baby, I talk talk I talk to you
In the night, in your dream, of love so true
I talk talk, I talk to you,
In the night, in your dream, of love so true
I got two more:
Loosen up my buttons - Pussycat Dolls feat. Snoop Dogg. He even name drops them all.
Lady Marmalade - Christina, Mya, etc. feat Lil' Kim. Between Lil' Kim's Rap and Missy Elliot going "uh uh uh uh uh" this has to make the list.
