A lot of rap music features the singer openly boasting. I'm looking for examples of boasts that are unrealistic.
She's got a pair of tits
She won't call it quits
OK, OK, Nick, your girl has some great physical and sexual qualities to her. The great 1979 album that features this song is so well crafted and witty and got high critical praise across the board. Ain't it better to boast about that?

He was the Nazz
with God-given ass -
he took it all too far, but boy, could he play guitar.
Again, David talking about his own assets. Not only does he refer to Ziggy (his persona at the time) as the "Nazz" (the most magnetic of beings, a Jesus-like figure) but he also talks about his wonderful, God-given ass.

Well-hung and snow white tan.
Well, seeing as David WAS Ziggy Stardust, he's kinda just touting his own attributes here. I'm not saying he's wrong (have you SEEN The Man Who Fell To Earth?!) but he's definitely boasting.

Ciara's,
"One, Two, Step"
Best believe I'm number one!
Not only a boast (that she's number one), but a taunt lest one disbelieve the boast!

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
And
I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
These are the lyrics he's using to try to win the love of a woman. I just don't think she's going to be too impressed by his boasting of past conquests or believe that he wants to be only hers and hers alone.

He's talking about his band. What does that say about somebody when they talk about their own band.

Somehow you know
How to get inside this heart of gold.
The singer refers to herself as having a heart of gold. That is certainly boasting. In fact, it is downriight arrogant.

I'm the King of Boggle, there is none higher
I get eleven points off the word 'quagmire'
Ad-Rock clearly thinks he's the best Boggle player there is.

R. Kelly featuring T.I. and T-Pain's, "I'm A Flirt (Remix)"
Let me remind you that I am the king of R&B
Don't make me laugh. It only proves R. Kelly has a very limited notion of what R&B really is.

I've learned more than you'll ever know
Even in school I felt quite sure
That one day I would be on top
and I would look upon the lot of teachers who said I'd be nothing
