Most Arrogant Songs Ever
Artists are supposed to have swagger. But sometimes they take it way out of hand. Here's our list of most arrogant music videos ever. Judge for yourself on who could use a big heaping of humble pie.
Keri Hilson
Song: "Pretty Girl Rock"
 |
| Keri Hilson |
If this song is meant to be an empowerment anthem, it's not. It's a big old valentine to Keri from Keri. Lyrics include "My name is Keri/I'm so very/Fly oh my it's a little bit scary."
The Pussycat Dolls
Song: "Don't Cha"
 |
| Pussycat Dolls |
Nicole Scherzinger, who fronts the Pussycat Dolls, is a beautiful woman, and she definitely knows it, as evident in her throwback club banger "Don't Cha." Asking a man if he wishes his girlfriend were fly like she is? That's rather bold.
Madonna
Song: "Material Girl"
 |
| Madonna |
Demanding diamonds outright is a total Madonna move. The video drips with arrogance as the pre-Gaga shocker is carried around the set by handsome tuxedo-wearing men.
Beyoncé
Song: "Upgrade U"
 |
| Beyonce |
Bey comes across as quiet, shy and humble, but she's talking some mess in this souped-up hit. And to her hubby, Jay, no less. We don't know about you, but any partner telling us they need to give us an image tune-up would only fly if they were a co-host on "What Not to Wear."
Rick Ross
Song: "Biggest Boss"
 |
| Rick Ross |
Donald Trump would be just one of the few big CEOs who'd object to the notion Rick Ross is the biggest boss. But since he wouldn't even win a fight with Ross' massive beard, we're guessing the Donald will let the rapper keep the title.
Soulja Boy Tell'em
Song: "Turn My Swag On"
 |
| Soulja Boy Tell'em |
Soulja is a lot of things. Loud. Energetic. Rich. An Internet pioneer. But swaggerific? We're not so sure about that, but he obviously is.
Right Said Fred
Song: "I'm Too Sexy"
 |
| Right Said Fred |
The song comes across as saying what models are thinking, but Right Said Fred's march on the catwalk made it clear he wasn't too shy about his own appearance.
Positive K
Song: "I Got a Man"
 |
| Positive K |
Positive K really came on strong in this '90s classic. When the female protagonist says she has a man and he replies with "How long you had that problem?" we always roll our eyes. How many times have we heard that in the club?
LL Cool J
Song: "I'm That Type of Guy"
 |
| LL Cool J |
LL Cool J coos to his male competition that he will leave his drawers in their girlfriends' hampers. 'Nuff said, right?
Special Ed
Song: "I'm the Magnificent"
 |
| Special Ed |
With the magnificent style, '90s cutie Special Ed went in on his imaginary competition in this braggart's anthem. He's so sure of it he feels the need to say it in reverse.
UTFO
Song: "Ya Cold Wanna Be With Me"
 |
| UTFO |
UTFO straight let the honeys know they were the ones to date in this super-arrogant cut. We kind of hoped the Real Roxanne would show up and knock one of their blocks off.
Kanye West
Song: "Power"
 |
| Kanye West |
The Chicago rapper says, "No one man should have so much power." His detractors, including those who booed him during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, most likely agree. And the man rocks a crown to top it off. Whoa.
