Terrible rap songs that somehow got popular

I've veered away from sports recently because there's not much good stuff to talk about aside from that Hafner interview.
So, to shake it up, I will now list off the worst rap songs to gain popularity with a short assessment of each.

Bone and Phil Collins - Take Me Home. This'll ruffle some feathers since they're Cleveland guys, but just because they're from Cleveland doesn't make them good (See: Cleveland Indians, 1955-1994). This song sucked. It marked the end of Phil Collins' career and I don't much care what it did to Bone's career. Now that Krayzie Bone is in with Chamillionaire on "ridin dirty" I guess they can escape the fact that "Take Me Home" may have been their final mark....thank god...

Sisqo - The Thong Song. Everyone knew this would be on here. Really, this one was at least entertaining, despite it's positively awful ...well, everything. "She had dumps like a truck." Female bathroom habits aren't material for rapping (but they make a great movie title here). Plain and simple. Now, I enjoy a nice ass in a thong as much as the next guy, but come on Sisqo...did you really have to spray paint your head silver?

ODB - Baby I got your Money. Possibly the most offensive song ever if you actually listen to the lyrics. Extremely catchy...but here's an excerpt: "I don't have no problem with you fucking me, but I have a little problem with you not fucking me." A lyrical mastermind, to say the least. Entertaining song, but really awful.

Petey Pablo - Freek-a-Leek. This one I loved and still do. But let's get real. Ridiculous basis for a song...it's about how he's a bit kinky in the sack. That's it. Talkin about bangin girls and whatnot...nothing too terribly creative either. Iduno, catchy as all get-out, but impressively terrible at the same time.

Cam'ron - Hey Ma. Another catchy song for no good reason. Incredibly trite lyrics. "She looked at me and said 'you's a baby right?' I told her, I'm 18 and live a crazy life, plus I tell you what the 80s like."
What?
Now...that part was Juelz Santana, but Cam'ron's part is no better. Not to mention the chorus is horrendously stupid.

That's it for now...I'm sure I'll think of more, but right now, I gotta get to bed.
Adieu.

Update: Shortly after post-time, my esteemed colleague Nick Waetjen pointed out that neither Coolio - too hot nor Lil Bow Wow - basketball made this list. These were each complete oversights on my part and I apologize.

well, i think you know, as do most people, that i am about as big as a bone fan as they come. and i will be the first to admit that i never once liked the song "home". as for bone's career, they were friggen awesome and always will be. this song, first off sounds nothing like any of their other songs and in no way represents their talent.

For the record, I loved the freak-a-leek music video because it had that one smokin hot black chick in it and I love smokin hot black chicks.
