Holy shit this too. If they keep it up sooner or later every 90s club/rave song is going to have a 10s pop interpretation of it. If anyone touches 2 Unlimited's No Limit there will be consequences.

There are really good songs on that album, but the lyrics all suck. The most famous of which was embed related. You know Mad Men's theme? Yeah, it was originally a fucking rap song.

The instrumentals were so popular that when the producer released a lyricless version of the album it actually sold more than the one with Mr. Niggy Noggy rapping over it.

Good fucking god I hate this. It's usually hip-hop or rap but sometimes other genres do this too (like saying '1-2-3-4' to start the instrumentals, which would be fine for live performances but leave that shit off the studio recording). Would you start off a movie by saying "Aaaand, action!"? No, no you wouldn't.

Classical doesn't do this much. Usually it starts out straightforwardly. When Ravel did it in Boléro (which is structurally pretty much just one big crescendo of 15 minutes), and since his mental health went down the drain a couple years later, some critics have accused the composition of being a result of him already losing his mind.
