This was the year that Twitter took over.
Gone were the days of anonymous internet. Everyone's gone from anonymous commentators to minor e-celebrity. Our "fifteen minutes of fame" has become an eternity of D-list fame. And it means if you say something stupid, offensive, or absurd, you might have to actually pay the consequences.
Now that our collective notoriety can spread well beyond our immediate social circles, we basically know exactly what it's like to be a rapper.* 2013 was a big year for terribly-terrible rap lyrics: Halfway through the year, we compiled the worst of the worst, including such corporation-offenders as Rick Ross' molly lyric and Lil Wayne's abhorrent Emmett Till line.
This time, we wanted to capture the awful lyrics that you secretly kinda love. The unforgettable rap lyrics you wish you could forget. The punchlines that are more likely to make you roll your eyes than be impressed.
WIthout further ado, these are the Best Worst Rap Lines of 2013.

7. "What else is on the wall?" - Trinidad James
Song: Trinidad James "Tim Westwood Freestyle" (2013)
After a rapid ascendence at the end of 2012, Trinidad James had a rough 2013, popping off about New York hip-hop in New York and only managing to touch the charts when he jumped on a track by August Alsina. But his definite low point was the Tim Westwood show, when the rapper's effort to do a genuine freestyle ended up a free associative mess.
6. "She popping the X like Malcolm." - Offset
Song: Migos "Hannah Montana (Twerk Remix)" (2013)
And people say conscious rap is dead.
5. "RIP, rest in pussy." - Lil Wayne
Song: Lil Wayne f/ 2 Chainz "Rich As Fuck" (2013)
I see what you did there.
4. "I remember when my schedule was as flexible as she is." - Drake
Song: Drake "Connect" (2013)
I cry Cristal thinking about how much Drake must have patted himself on the back for this one.
3. "I mean that shit like exclamation! exclamation! exclamation!" - Big Sean
Song: Pusha T f/ 2 Chainz & Big Sean "Who I Am" (2013)
Nope. Nope. Nope.
2. "Rest in Peace to all the soldiers that died in the service/I died in her cervix." - 2 Chainz
Song: 2 Chainz "U Da Realest" (2013)
The juxtaposition of the tragedy that can befall our nation's servicemen and women, and 2 Chainz nutting, is just...There are no words.
1. "Uh, I be speaking Swaghili." - Kanye West
Song: Kanye West f/ Assassin & Justin Vernon "I'm In It" (2013)
We gave "Swagu"...er, "Swag goo" a pass. "Swaghili" is a bridge too far.
