The aux getting the aux is a blessing, you know, don't get me wrong But some people have no idea when to give up the aux today We're going over songs. You should never play on aux and rules of having the aux cord You know, I think this is really important to discuss So let's start with the rules and then we'll get into the songs that you should never play on aux Well, at least in my opinion rule number one of having the aux do not replay songs over
over and over again. Like for the love of God, I don't know how many times I've been at a party and I've heard Fiend like 50 times. But these people are doing tricks, glazing, just doing the most to get Fiend on the ox. If it plays one time, I don't care, I'll turn up to it. But once we get in the territory of like 10 times,
Please play different shit. Oh my god. The only time I replay songs like that is when I'm in the car by myself. If you're at a party around a bunch of people, you should not be playing songs over and over again. Because nobody is gonna glaze Fiend as hard as you. We all have those songs. We just got on repeat over and over again. But you gotta understand when you're around other people, you gotta pack that shit up, bro. People wanna hear other music besides just one song. The second rule of having the aux. Know what song.
Mom, Dad, I humbly suggest you save some money and shop Amazon for back to school. It's for my growth, meaning my body's growing at an alarming rate. And clothes you buy me this year will be very small very soon. Plus, the clothes I love today will be out of style tomorrow. But at least your wallet doesn't have to be my fashion victim anymore.
If you shop low prices for school at Amazon. Hopefully this is helpful. Amazon. Spend less, smile more. Songs go with what environment? Bro, if I'm at a party turning up, I'm not trying to hear no spiritual, lyrical, individual ass shit. Please play something that people can turn up to. It doesn't have to be the most basic shit either. You don't have to play like Funito at every party. It can really just be any song that will get people turned up.
Number three, you gotta have an artist balance. You can't have like the same two, three artists in the rotation. You gotta have a variety of different genres, different artists. You know what I mean. And you also don't have to play like the most popular songs either. People have to know it, but you don't have to play a safety song for every single song. That's something I see people do a lot when they get past the aux. They kind of just rely on certain songs to be, I guess, like some kind of safety net for them.
so they don't lose the aux cord. But you gotta know when it's your time to give it up. You're gonna lose the aux eventually. Number four, know your audience. If you're at a family barbecue, there's no reason for you to be playing King Von. I mean, unless your family actually fucks with King Von. I don't know. Me personally, if I played any of the music that I listen to regularly at a family barbecue, I would get cooked. Like, I don't think there's any saving me. I'm losing the aux. None of my family listens to rap at all.
And I also listen to underground rap too. So if I played underground rap shit, I would get kicked out of the house, bro. I wouldn't just lose aux. But yeah, when I'm with my family, I don't know. I usually just play like 80s music, 2010s classics, like literally songs that anybody would know, like songs that have been on the radio and stuff. But of course I actually play songs that I mess with, right? I'm not going to play straight ass at the family function either.
But if I'm in the car with my friends, obviously I'm playing rap, 'cause I know they all mess with rap. Rule number four: Do not take garbage requests. Never. Do not take that disrespect like that. It's your aux, bro. You are in control. Everyone is gonna blame you if you put on an ass song. And now the times I have had aux, sometimes people have told me to play the weirdest shit ever.
Like for example, we are number one. That shit was a meme in like 2016, bro. No one is playing that. But of course, you still got to take requests. You know, he can't be hogging the ox out here. Like, yeah, sure. You're on ox. You're the one controlling it. But you can't just sit there and gatekeep either. Imagine if you're in a whip car full of girls drive by and y'all are playing. We are number one on your ox court.
Like, I would never feel more embarrassed in my entire life. And you know, if I actually played some Heat, that would have saved me another sleepless night of just thinking about that over and over again. Rule number five, you have to know when your time is up.
If you're on like a long ass car trip and you've been on aux for a while, you know, it's time to pass it to your friend. You know, don't be an aux hog. But of course, if people are like pressing you for the aux and you've only had it for like 10 minutes and you've been playing nothing but heat, then keep the aux, bro. Stand on it. But if you're playing ass and the whole car agrees, you just have to give it up, bro.
Even if you've only had it for one song, you're done. Like you have one chance to play some good shit. If I'm being honest with you, your first song has to be a banger or else you're probably not going to get past aux ever again, unless they forget about that. So that's why today I'm trying to help you out by picking out the songs that you should never play on aux.
Number one, Carnival. Okay, this one's just a given. In the first couple of weeks this song was out, like, it was the aux go-to. Like, everybody fucked with it. But now I feel like TikTok just ruined the song. All I think of when I hear Carnival is that stupid-ass TikTok Riz Party meme.
And there were some other TikToks of people being a dumbass when driving while Carnival was playing in the car. So, you know, I just couldn't look at that song the same ever again. And there's only so many times you can hear it before it just gets super repetitive. And again, this is all just my opinion. You know, if you and your friends really fuck with Carnival, I guess play Carnival. I don't care.
But me personally, I'm not putting on Carnival in my car, bro. Number two, we have Vibes by DaBaby. And I think everybody knows why this song should not be played. I feel like the reason why DaBaby fell off was one, the controversy he got into at that show. And number two, the fact that this dude just became a meme. People who are like memes in like the rap space, like their careers die so fast. Like before the whole DaBaby meme came out, Vibes was a hit. Like I was bumping that shit all the time.
Number three, Dance Monkey. I have never heard a song so many times in my entire life. And honestly, that's probably why I hate it so much, because I've heard it so many goddamn times. At that point, bro, you might as well put on the fucking radio. I mean, we're going to get the same shit anyway. So if you play Dance Monkey, you're most likely getting Ox taken away from you. So I mean, if you really want to play Dance Monkey, take the risk, bro. But all I'm saying is that Ox Chord is leaving your hands.
Next, we have any song made for TikTok. Like if you don't know anything past the first 40 seconds, how are you gonna turn up to that song? And yes, I know some songs go viral on TikTok that are good, but people actually know the entire thing. Like if your song was just made to be like a sound on TikTok,
You're cooked. No one is gonna know past the first 30 seconds or whatever. You're gonna find a new song after like the first 30 seconds. Like one example I could think of in my head is when Ice Spice was first blowing up, nobody knew the lyrics to Munch. Not a single soul. They only knew the TikTok sound.
So when she did a show, they turned up for about the first 30 seconds, and then the crowd was dead. Now, I really don't go on TikTok that much, so I don't even know, like, what songs are trending right now. But for those of you that actually use the app, you know which songs I'm talking about. Next, we have Rich Baby Daddy featuring Sexy Red.
Now my personal opinion, I would say not to play any of Sexy Red's songs. Like, I personally think Sexy Red is ass. I can't see myself turning up to Ski-Yi and being proud of it. You know, I don't really understand the appeal, but I guess you do you. But personally, bro, like, the first bars dropped in this song already just make me and probably a lot of other people hella uncomfortable.
This is the chorus, the opening line. "Bend that ass over, let that coochie breathe." Like, you don't gotta make this complicated, man. Just hand over the aux. As a grown dude, I'm not listening to this shit, me personally. Next we have like, YouTuber diss tracks or like, any YouTuber music that's just garbage.
Do not let me catch you playing Dream on the aux. Like, that is crazy. I cannot imagine a car full of people turning up to Dream. It's not possible. There's no way. Or if you, like, queue up a Ricegum diss track. Like, you're out of the car, bro. Get out. Like, if you play, like, a YouTuber diss track at a function, people are gonna be staring at you like this. And you will never live that down.
You'll be known as the guy that put Dream on the aux. And you know, that's a pretty shitty title to have. I'm not gonna lie to you. Next, we have any artist that has like a very, very acquired taste. There is a reason why everyone hated Whole Lotta Red when it first dropped.
It was so weird the baby voice just annoyed people and you couldn't even understand what the hell he was saying But as the album aged it eventually grew on people so the people really fucked with it since the beginning like that I guess they had that acquired taste already But what I'm getting at pretty much is do not play something that is like very niche play something that I mean Even though if not everybody knows the song like just anybody walking on the street would fuck
Unless the audience that you are in, you know, already fits that acquired taste. But in the scenarios when you're not, you know, you got to tee up, you know, really understand, you know, which songs that you listen to that nobody else would fuck with. Like we all have those type of songs. Because if you play those type of songs on aux, everybody's just going to look at you funny.
Next, we have any song from like a TV show or a movie. Not like a song that's in a TV show or a movie. I mean, unless it's garbage, don't play it. Like a good example for this one I could think of is Everything is Awesome from the Lego movies.
Like why would you ever put this on aux? The song is so bad. I could just see myself Ironically turning up to it, but there is not a day I will be like damn bro This song's hard like shit at that point keep it in the damn movie that shit's ass number 10 We have lucid dreams. First of all, this is a song about heartbreak Like I don't think that would get anybody in the car turn at least in my experience
Lucid Dreams was that one song I played when I was like in my feelings, curled up in a ball, eating potato chips, crying about how I got rejected by my crush. It was rough. You know, I would just rather not be reminded of that era. And the song just makes me sad in general. I don't know. That shit was also very overplayed on
radio stations and just in general, honestly. But yeah, let me know what you think. Comment down below what songs you think should never be on aux. But yeah, check out this video on the end screen and I'll catch you on the next one. Peace out.
