I like when they also say the year. Makes me feel nostalgic when I hear it later.

All I think is "well, this song has aged horribly"

It's good documentation praxis, very useful for future archaeologists. I sign all my documents "D to the ro to the lex twenty twenty four"

UK rappers trying not to mention that they own a Lamborghini Urus and travel around in it with 3-4 random hot girls

[–] silva@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 months ago

That's not just UK rappers tho, at least that's also a perfect summary for german rap.

Then there's Fatman Scoop who made a living out of repetitively saying his name.

I don't know Fatman Scoop, but I presume he is famous for his twist on the Postman Pat theme song.

Man I'm so fucking angry that song doesn't exist.

I can hear the Postman Pat theme with Fatman Scoop so eloquently singing

FAT MAN SCOOP GOTTA DELIVER MAIL

FATMAN SCOOP GOTTA DELIVER MAIL

FATMAN SCOOP JESS AND POST MAN PAT

FATMAN SCOOP GOTTA DELIVER SOME MAIL

It can be great! If the radio is on and the first thing of a track I hear is "Jason derulo" or alike I get a nice audio que to turn it off!

At the risk of stating the obvious... It's so people know who the artist is. It's the same reason why people use a watermark or signature on visual media.

I can't help but feel there's a twinge of racism in this. Did you get this from reddit? Because that would explain it.
