With the amount of times Lyrical Lemonade songs have been brought up in music reviews, it's surprising that nobody has talked about Lyrical Lemonade as a whole. Well, I'm not one to not start trends, so here are my top 10 favorite Lyrical Lemonade songs. Enjoy.
10. Tell Me Why by The Kid LAROI
This is a very interesting song. The beat is both funky and melancholy, Kid LAROI has a good voice, and the song manages to be both an enjoyable groove, and an emotional powerhouse. It also helps that this song is a tribute to JuiceWRLD. And while I don't speak for everyone, I think this is a good tribute. Tell Me Why, a song that you'll bop to while tearing up. R.I.P JuiceWRLD.

It's no Eskeetit or Be Like Me, but Flex Like Ouu is still a pretty enjoyable song. The beat is funky, Lil Pump is energetic and enjoyable, and the song has a fun and enjoyable vibe. And while the lyrics are generic Lil Pump fare, it's delivered with a fun, funky, enjoyable vibe. Check this out, unless you're a Lil Pump hater.

What's Poppin by Jack Harlow
As I said in my review of both this song and Ransom by Lil Tecca, What's Poppin is a really funky, cool song. The production is great, especially those pianos, Jack sounds great, the lyrics are clever, Jack's flow is pretty cool, the music video is fun and quirky, and it's just an all around enjoyable song. Check it out.
7.
Betrayed by Lil Xan
I haven't heard much from Lil Xan, but this song is pretty cool. The beat is funky and relaxing, Xan sounds alright, the lyrics are interesting, and the song itself is such an immersive experience. There are a few iffy lyrics, but other than that, Betrayed is a really good song. Certainly better than whatever the hell Tick Tock was.

Ransom by Lil Tecca
I love this song. The beat is fantastic, Lil Tecca is amazing, the lyrics are alright, the music video is cool, and the song just has a fun, bouncy energy. I already reviewed both this song and What's Poppin in a previous post, so check that out if you want a full, detailed look at why this song is awesome, but long story short, Ransom is fantastic.

Magic In The Hamptons by Social House and Lil Yachty
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this song should be way more famous than Boyfriend. The beat is fun and relaxing, Social House sounds great, the song has a fun charm, the lyrics are enjoyably silly, the old man makeup is pretty good, and it's just an all around enjoyable peice of music. But let's get to, not the best part, but a part that's really good: Lil Yachty. As usual, Lil Yachty's guest verse is really good. Unlike Broccoli and iSpy, which, while he was good in those songs, he had a few...questionable lines, here he doesn't. His lines are pretty ordinary, fun, and stick with the song. The only problem is that this song ends too quickly. When I really get into it, that's where it stops. Which really sucks. But despite that, Magic In The Hamptons is a fun and enjoyable song, which proves that despite the massive mess that was Boyfriend, Social House is really talented.

Godzilla by Eminem and JuiceWRLD
This song was my introduction to Lyrical Lemonade. And what an introduction, because Godzilla is phenomenal. The beat is catchy, funky, bombastic and enjoyable, the music video is cool, JuiceWRLD is good (R.I.P JuiceWRLD), but what really makes this song good is Eminem. Eminem has been good before, but in this song? I would not be surprised if Eminem was related to this guy:
His flow is straight up amazing. The way Em is able to dispense so many lyrics in what feels like seconds is absolutely incredible. Like, not even Kendrick Lamar has that great a flow. It's straight up amazing. Also, that Mike Tyson cameo is funny, and this is the last song JuiceWRLD ever made before he unfortunately died. So yeah, glad to see Jarad went out with a good one.
3.
DoIHaveTheSause? By Ski Mask The Slump God
This song is an incredibly fun, surreal piece of trippiness. The production is fun and cool, Ski Mask sounds great, the music video is amazing, and the song is just so funky and enjoyable. On top of that, the lyrics are really funny and silly, there's a lot of fun and enjoyable charisma present, and like Betrayed, DoIHaveTheSause? is incredibly immersive. Easily the second best song from Ski Mask The Slump God. Second? You'll see.

Robbery by JuiceWRLD
Yeah, I couldn't talk about great Lyrical Lemonade songs without talking about this one. It's weird to think that there are actual JuiceWRLD fans who hate this song, yet here I am, one of the least emo people you'll ever meet, and I absolutely love it. Why? Well, strap in, because there's a lot to unpack. First off, the production. I LOVE this production. It's so relaxing and lovely. The pianos sound amazing, and the song just has a nice, relaxing vibe. On top of that JuiceWRLD sounds great. I can understand people hating his voice in this song, but I think it's fine. Jarad's droning voice perfectly fits the melody in a way that Bruno Mars' didn't when he made Grenade. Also, as I mentioned, I absolutely love when he says " I don't wanna leave, I just wanna be." He just puts so much emotion in that line that I can't help but feel it. As for the lyrics? Yeah, the lyrics are certainly not perfect. There are a lot of bad lyrics like" "One thing my dad told me was, "Never let your woman know when you're insecure," "Was your love for real? (For real? For real?) Is your love really true?", and of course "One thing my heart tells me is, "Flex on a hoe every time they're insecure". And while those certainly are immature and terrible lyrics, unlike Lucid Dreams, which is cartoonishly over the top, here it feels realistic. Jarad was a teenager when he wrote this, so the lyrics would be this immature. And honestly, the rest of the song is so good, that I don't care. Bottom line, Robbery is a great song, from an artist that left us way too soon. Hope you're enjoying heaven, Jarad.

Faucet Failure by Ski Mask The Slump God
Faucet Failure is like the musical equivalent of a museum. It's not really a song you're meant to groove to, it's more of a song you just experience for the absurdity. The lyrics in this song are so insanely clever and ridiculous. I recommend watching Genius' video where Ski explains the meaning of the lyrics of this song. It's pretty cool. But it's not just the lyrics. The beat is enjoyable, Ski sounds great, the music video is awesome (I especially like how they got an actual Ostrich to appear in the video. I'd love to know how they did that), and I love the break in the middle. It's very funny. Bottom line, Faucet Failure is a fantastic, bizarre, fun, and enjoyable piece of music. Remember when I said that DoIHaveTheSause? was Ski's second best song? Well, this is his first. It's a bizarre, fun, enjoyable piece of music that I highly recommend checking out.
