For all its monetary value in society, Valentine’s Day has quite the reputation for being associated with the negative connotation. Maybe it’s a magnet for parody. Or just maybe, there isn’t a soul walking the earth who can’t relate to be heartbroken or shunned emotionally.
Just ask nearly every rapper who has recorded a track. There’s the whole “write-a-song-for-the-opposite-sex” mantra to slang singles like nickels and dimes and their blackened heart counterparts. And then, there’s the “slandering-your-ex-up-and-down-a-record” approach.
Choosing to not acknowledge Valentine’s Day is also always an option. Or you could embrace this ice cold playlist that represents the worst Valentine’s Day rap songs.

Cry The Pain Away
People generally tend to play tough in public and break down in private. Kanye West’s fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak was the audio comparison of going on a bender and gaining new insight on one’s left, complete with all the traumatic scars that come along with it. And what needs to be said about Drake’s penchant for making life’s most melancholy moments into a festive event?
