Love stinks. You know it, we know it, the world knows it; but one day out of the year we have to bite the bullet and get “all romantical” and stuff. Word to Flavor Flav. 

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and some of the most cheesy and romantic thing you can do is dedicate a song to your special significant other. However, you don’t want to be that person that ends up on the wrong side of the wrong song.

Rappers are petty, and instead of expressing there heartbreak like normal human beings, they have the ability to flip that sadness into hit records. Artists such as Ghostface Killah, Eminem, Kanye West, and Drake have all dealt with love gone wrong in all different ways.

Luckily for us, their pain is our pleasure when it comes to their music. This week’s Wired 25 takes a look at 25 songs you do not want dedicated to you when February 14th rolls around. Hit the jump to check them all out and have a Happy Valentine’s Day to the happy loving couples around the world.

To the rest of you, watch Scandal or something.

25. Timbaland ft. Drake – “Say Something” – Shock Value 2

A lot of people aren’t down for the long haul when someone in a relationship is chasing a dream. Timbo traded in his senorita for a microphone and Drake says you could’ve worked it out in the hit single, “Say Something.”

24. Dr. Dre ft. Devin The Dude & Snoop Dogg – “F**k You” – 2001

A day of romance? Nuts to that, all they want to do is f**k you. No kissing and hugging, especially if you got a husband who loves you.

23. Young Money – “Every Girl” – We Are Young Money 

22. Slick Rick – “Teenage Love” – The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick 

Heartbreak sucks, but what sucks more is teenage heartbreak. At that time, you might think it is the end of the world. Buck up, young scrappers. A teenage love is only the beginning of a long life of women doing the heel-toe with your emotions.

21. Waka Flocka Flame – “Rooster In My Rari” – Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family

“Pay for what? Girl you better pay for this d**k, see the type to f**k for two cents and an outfit.” Quite poetic, Waka. Quite.

20. Mos Def – “Ms. Fat Booty” – Black On Both Sides 

Has a pretty bird that you quietly observed ever tried to play you for the herb, only to be all on you after they found out you are a famous rapper? Happens to all of us, b.

19. Outkast – “The Art Of The Storytellin, Pt. 1” – Aquemini 

We all know a Suzie Screw, let’s just hope it ain’t you.

18. Justin Timberlake – “Cry Me A River” – Justified 

Breakups suck, but if you can sing and/or write songs, you can flips it into a pretty nice career for yourself. JT’s “Cry Me A River” at the time was his biggest song ever and it all drew from his much-publicized breakup with pop star Britney Spears…we think. C’mon b, you all saw the video.

17. Drake ft. Peter Bjorn & John – “Let’s Call It Off” – So Far Gone

This mixtape famously made its debut the day before Valentine’s Day in 2009, but “Let’s Call It Off” was a bitter kiss off to an ex-girlfriend. “Leave me, leave me, I can’t f**king stand you,” pretty much says it all.

16. Eminem – “Superman”  The Eminem Show 

A newly single Eminem said if you died, he wouldn’t buy you life. He’s rich. He could probably do it if he wanted to, but he doesn’t. Ouch. Superman ain’t saving s**t.

15. Lil Wayne ft. Babyface – “Comfortable” – Tha Carter III

This song was a fair reminder that just because you are in a good spot, don’t get too comfortable. Don’t get kicked out on your B’Day, word to Beyonce.

14. Ghostface Killah ft. Ne-Yo – “Back Like That” – Fishscale

“Yo, let me get that coat
Let me get those jeans, and let me get that rock on your finger
Oh, it’s stuck? Then I’ll take the whole finger than, man
Let me get those bags from Paris, and the puppies is staying, yo”

13. Nas – “Bye Baby” – Life Is Good

The new essential break-up song of the modern day puts a positive spin on a bad situation. If you know, just don’t blow a good thing.

12. The Notorious B.I.G. – “Nasty Boy” – Life After Death

If your not against going to the crib unless you’re boning, this song shouldn’t really offend you. Pull the G-string down south, ow!

11. Ghostface Killah ft. Amy Winehose – “You Know I’m No Good” – More Fish/Back To Black

According to his songs,  Ghostface Killah has horrible luck with women. This song, which introduced the late Amy Winehouse to the Hip-Hop audience, was about finding out that sad fact that women think about getting it in way more than men do. She was indeed a nasty girl that tried to play him.

10. Snoop Doggy Dogg ft. Warren G and Nate Dogg – “Aint No Fun” – Doggystyle
“When I met you last night baby, Before you opened up your gap I had respect for you lady
but now I take it all back.” Nate Dogg’s incredible opening verse was some of the most crude but smooth sounding lyrics ever recited. It never stopped any self-respecting female from dancing to this classic, though. As Chris Rock once stated, “they ain’t talkin ’bout me!”

9. Missy Elliott ft. Jay-Z – “One Minute Man (Remix)” – Miss E…So Addictive 

Would you believe that this song was a supposed diss from Jay-Z to his current wife Beyonce? It may be a stretch, but Jigga’s line where he states that he’s “trying to give you cab fare and directions, get your independent a** outta here, question?” was a takeoff from Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women.” Well, we all know how that turned out.

8. Sporty Thievz – “No Pigeons” – Street Cinema

Did you think you were going to get showered with chocolate, gifts and flowers on Valentine’s Day? Did you perhaps think you were going to receive some diamond earrings or a ring? Uh oh, y’all chicks ain’t getting nada. Not even McDonald’s.

7. Cam’Ron ft. Freekey Zeekey- “On Fire Tonight” – Come Home With Me 

Starting off with an unforgettable skit  featuring Freaky Zeekey about catching VD from a promiscuous woman, Killa Cam warns about the dangers of trying to turn a h*e into a housewife.

6. Outkast – “Roses” – Speakerboxxx/The Love Below 

Andre 3000 has a penchant for making some incredible love songs, but who knows he knew how to get bitter? On “Roses,” he told you that you were the reason for the word b***h. Moreover, he hoped that you were speeding on the way to the club (trying to hurry up to get to some baller or singer or somebody like that), and try to put on her makeup in the mirror and crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch! Damn, Dre. It’s like that?

5. Memphis Bleek ft. Jay-Z, Twista and Missy Elliott – “Is That Your Chick?” – The Understanding

Is there a more scathing lyric about taking your woman than Jay-Z stating “You hugged her up. What the f**k is up? She got you whipped, got your kids. Got your home, but that’s not your b***h. You share that girl, don’t let ’em hear

4. Erykah Badu – “Tyrone” – Erykah Badu Live

“I’m getting tired of your s**t, you don’t ever but me nothing.” Yep, we’re done here.

3. Ghostface Killah ft. Carl Thomas – “Never Be The Same Again” – Bulletproof Wallets

Has any rapper been with more foul women than Ghostdini? “Never Be The Same Again” consisted of some of the most “I feel you my dude” lyrics ever recorded in rap history. Because we are all tough guys and can’t just admit that we’re hurting, we’ll have to deal with “I put a lot of money up, I’m hating!”

2. Eminem – Kim – The Marshall Mathers LP

Nobody knows how to make love go insanely wrong than Marshall Mathers. If “Bonnie & Clyde ’97”  from The Slim Shady LP was hard to swallow, “Kim” was a full-on horror flick. Like the old adage goes, love is wanting to be with somebody you’d kill, but don’t because you’d miss them. Kim Mathers is still alive and kicking, right?

1. Kanye West – 808s And Heartbreak

Everything on this album is enough to send an emotional wreck straight into a tailspin. Seriously, don’t listen to anything on this album if you’ve been going through it. The album’s only saving grace from emo glory is “See You In My Nightmares,” but the entire project will have you in your feelings rocking back and forth.
