Random A-B-C of Artists with Songs That Feature the F-Bomb | Playlist

Have you ever desired to see a random ABC list of artist with the respective songs that feature f-bombs? Probably not, but you got it here. 

This post is a new low. It’s dumb.  That’s an appropriate characteristic, given that this post is an ABC of artists and their respective songs that feature the f-bomb or f-bombs.  Again, this is a stupid concept, but, a little trash never hurt everybody now and again, right? F#$king right.  We’ll approach this sort of like Sue Grafton does.  A is for, B is for, etc.

---

“A” is for Alicia Keys.

Alicia Keys has been relatively clean throughout her career, at least compared to her colleagues.  However, on her 2016 album Here, she dropped a couple of bombs on “Kill Your Mama.”

“We been fucking with genetics...
Had your chance for redemption
But you fuckin’ blew it.”

---

“B” is for Beck.

Beck doesn’t drop the bomb all the time – only some of the time.  However, his Mountain Dew Rock, “Fuckin’ With My Head,” doesn’t refrain from the use of the bomb.

“When you wanna be with me we will see
Who’s fuckin’ with my head
Hey hey hey hey
Fuckin’ with my head
Hey hey hey hey.”

---

“C” is for The Chainsmokers.

The Chainsmokers slapped a parental advisory label right on their debut studio album, Memories…Do Not Open.  The label was necessary, given Drew’s love of the bomb.  He’s uses fuck sexually on “Break Up Every Night.”

“She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
How can I help it if I like the way she makes me feel it.”

On “Bloodstream,” he uses the bomb to describe an inebriated state as well as for intensifying purposes.

“I’m fucked up, I’m faded...
Oh yeah, I-I-I-I-I-I, really fucking meant it.”

That’s a lot of I’s there Drew!

---

“D” is for Daniel Caesar.

Damn Daniel, did you have to drop the bomb? For most of Freudian, Daniel Caesar keeps it respectable, sans f-bombs.  This is an album that balances romance and spirituality, so there’s not tons of profanity.  BUT, when he’s not “Blessed,” like “Neu Roses (Trangresssor’s Song),” he grows more profane.

“Babe, I know I fucked up
Fucked with some empty cups...”

---

“E” is for Eminem.

No deep analysis needed here.  What Eminem song refrains from using the f-word? He’s prolific as a rapper as well as with the bombs.  He says so himself on “Rap God.”

“How could I not blow? All I do is drop F-bombs.”

---

“F” is for Foo Fighters.

Dave Grohl likes his f-bombs.  While they appear more frequently outside of the band’s output, they still happen.  Check out “Make it Right” from the band’s 2017 album, Concrete and Gold.

“Got no soul to keep, got no soul to keep
Ain’t no brother’s keeper
I don’t fuckin’ need, I don’t fuckin’ need
I don’t need a martyr.”

---

“G” is for G-Eazy.

G-Eazy should honestly just insert the f-word between the “G” and the “Eazy.” This rapper sure loves his f-bombs.  He showcases his prowess on “You Got Me” (When It’s Dark Out).  

“Bitch, you got me fucked up.”

---

“H” is for Highly Suspect. 

There’s nothing highly suspect about it.  Johnny Stevens, the frontman of Highly Suspect, can deliver an f-bomb ‘just like that.’  On Mr. Asylum, there’s that one emotional moment in “Lydia” where Stevens uses fuck for emphasis on his state of mind.

“I can’t fucking breathe, much less believe the truth.”

Also, there’s “fuck Me Up” from the same album:

“Fuck me up, fuck me up good.”

Also, the f-bombs don’t escape on album no. 2, The Boy Who Died Wolf.  On the first song, “My Name Is Human”, Stevens sticks up his middle fingers, vocally:

“I’m feeling the way that I’m feeling myself
Fuck everyone else.” 

---

“I” is for Iggy Azalea. 

Iggy Azalea might’ve been “Fancy” in 2014, but she could also drop the bomb.  Unfortunately for our list, it wasn’t the rapper’s no. 1 hit where she personally dropped the bomb.  That would-be Charli XCX on the bridge.  But never fear, Iggy drops it elsewhere, most prominently on “Fuck Love.”  

“Fuck love, give me diamonds.”

---

“J” is for Jonas Brothers.

Okay, this one’s a two-for-one.  Both Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas seem to have no problem with dropping bombs.  Years ago, this would be shocking.

As the frontman of DNCE, Joe sang on “Cake by the Ocean”:

“Let’s lose our minds and go fucking crazy.”

As for Nick, between his solo albums, he has no shortage of fuckery.

On “Chainsaw” (Last Year Was Complicated), he sings:

“Maybe I’ll just take a chainsaw to the sofa 
Where I held your body close for so long, so long 
I’m gonna break the fucking china
Cause it’s just one more reminder you’re gone, you’re gone.”

---

“K” is for Khalid.

19-year old Khalid isn’t like some teenage musicians. His debut album, American Teen, got slapped with the parental advisory label.  Even so, most of it is actually unobjectionable.  BUT, the ‘innocent’ teen drops the f-bomb on “Let’s Go.” Actually, not just the f-bomb, but he adds mother in front of it… *GASP!

“Everybody two-step in the motherfucker, what?”

Yeah, “what?” is right Khalid – get the soap and water ready!

---

“L” is for Louis Tomlinson.

Sweet, angelic Louis Tomlinson is no angel.  Hard to believe, given the youthful sound of his tenor.  Nonetheless, on his debut single as a lead artist, “Back to You,” he drops the bomb.

“Whoa, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you fuck me up.”

---

“M” is for Michael Jackson.

Are you shocked the King of Pop made this f-bomb infested list? Michael Jackson generally refrained from profanity in his music.  But, there are a few instances throughout his discography.  The cussing, specifically the f-bomb appears on his song “Scream,” featuring Janet Jackson, which appeared on his HIStory album (1995).

“Stop fuckin’ with me, make me want to scream!”

---

“N” is for Niall Horan.

We always knew Niall could curse, but, it definitely never happened on a One Direction song. Actually, it didn’t happen until his third solo single, “Too Much to Ask.”  Honestly, it ends up being subtler than expected.

“And oh, love, watch the sun coming up
Don’t it feel fucked up we’re not in love.” 

---

“O” is for Olivia O’Brien.

Ah, another teen artist.  O’Brien appeared on the gnash mega-hit, “I Hate U, I Love U” (2016), which she co-wrote.  While gnash went to town with the profanity, O’Brien, being the ‘good’ 16-year-old she was, refrained.  That’s not the case on “RIP” where the 17-year old drops the bomb.

“R-I-P to the old you
I fucking miss you...”

---

“P” is for Pharrell Williams.

Throughout most of G I R L (2014), Pharrell Williams kept it refined and funky, particularly on “Happy.” However, that doesn’t mean Skateboard P can’t drop the F-*-C-K.  He does on his guest appearance on French Montana single, “Bring Dem Things.”

“Mane, you don’t wanna fuck with them bro
Oh you high and they shooting, better get low.”

---

“Q” is for Quavo.

Quavo (Migos) has no problem with dropping the f-bomb.  Going with an obvious example, “Bad and Boujee,” he raps:

“These bitches, they fuck and suck dick
And they bustin’ for Instagram…” 

---

“R” is for Rihanna.  

One can argue that the Chris Brown abuse incident served as a turning point for Rihanna. Once an innocent artist, the album released right after the infamous event was a dark departure for the Barbadian urban-pop artist.  Rated R (2009) was her first album to feature the parental advisory label.  Not only was the sex amplified, so was the profanity.  She drops a key f-bomb on “Rockstar 101” featuring Slash.

“Rocking this skirt
Rocking this club
Got my middle finger up
I don’t really give a fuck.” 

She also says she’s “…Such a fucking lady” on “Wait Your Turn.” Very classy. 

---

“S” is for ScHoolboy Q.

West coast rapper ScHoolboy Q is responsible for some of the grimiest albums of recent times.  You don’t call a Q album enjoyable – it’s tough to the nth degree.  Naturally, amid the toughness, there are plenty of f-bombs.

“Groovy Tony / Eddie Kane” (Blank Face LP) is a perfect example:

“Crack off n*gga, I’m squeezing empty ‘til the shell break
Fuck my image I need to drop, I need to, Blank Face.”

---

“T” is for Tyler, the Creator.

This one needs no introduction or rationale.  Tyler, the Creator has always been about that f-bomb life.

On “Wolf,” the opener for his 2013 album of the same title, he kicks things off fucking right:

“You are a whore, you are a whore
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck him
Fuck everything else I can see
I know, fuck you I hate you so fucking much
I know you think I’m crazy
Cause I think you’re a fucking fag.”

---

“U” is for Usher.

Calling Usher a clean artist would be an overstatement.  However, most of his earlier catalogue eschews the parental advisory label.  Throughout the course of Hard II Love, Usher’s image is tougher aka more profane and more sexual.  The best example where he drops the bomb is “FWM.”

“Baby I can change, can you stick around?
Fuck with me, fuck with me, fuck with me
It’s easy when I’m up, can you hold me down?”

---

“V” is for Vampire Weekend.

For the most part, Ezra Koenig and company keep it clean, focusing more on the depth and charm of their lyrics than profanity.  However, they added a little extra character to their gem, “Oxford Comma.”

“Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?”

The also add a lot of character on “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.”

“Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck
Like you know I do
Like you know I do.”

---

“W” is for The Weeknd.  

Abel Tesfaye can cuss like a sailor, and most of the time, he does.  A great example of his f-bomb prowess comes on “The Hills,” from Beauty Behind the Madness.

“I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I’m fucked up, that’s the real me.”

---

“X” is for XXXTentacion. 

Of course, XXXTentacion embraces the f-bomb.  “Look at Me!” is a perfect example, as he raps:

“Fuck on me, look at me
Ayy, fuck on me, yah, look at me.”

---

“Y” is for Young M.A.

The first time you hear Young M.A., her toughness shines like a beacon.  She is unapologetic to the nth degree.  She drops the bomb twice on “OOOUUU”. 

“My brother told me, ‘fuck ‘em, get that money, sis!’ 
You just keep on grindin’ on your hungry shit...
We just them n*ggas you ain’t fuckin’ with...”

---

“Z” is for ZAYN.

ZAYN has cleaned his act up as of late for whatever reason.  However, in 2016, the former One Direction member wanted to make sure that everyone knew (1) he could drop the bomb and (2) he enjoyed passionate sex.

The best example of the bomb being dropped is on “PILLOWTALK”:

“In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on.”

ZAYN slipped in a subtle f-bomb on “It’s You.”

“And she don’t, she don’t, she don’t
Give a fuck about what I need.”
