"Sister Betina" by Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit
Song: Sister Betina
Artist: Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit
Album: Very Best Mixtape (2008)
Lyrics that resound: 🎶tibidibidibi doba in the meantime Hibiri🎶 Commentary: One of those that I can't believe didn't make it on here when I posted regularly and was spinning The Very Best like it was going out of style. "Sister Betina" popped into my head today, but they had two solid albums in a row! "Dinosaur on the Ark," "Tengazako," "Kadja Manja" -- all good times (especially if you know the originals from the 00s). I try to sing along (poorly) in Chichewa with some of the irresistible tunes.

"You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack" by Viper -- known for imprisoning a woman in his garage
NOTE: Apparently Viper imprisoned a woman in his garage for years. The misogyny (and patriarchy) that are central to society are pretty common in lyrics, but this is pretty clearly another level of awful.
Song: You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack
Artist: Viper
Album: You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack (2008)
Also try: Lil B maybe.
Commentary: Viper has over 1,000 albums. Interesting fellow. EDIT (Jan '24) to remove some laudatory language about Viper's musical weirdness, because, forget him.
