To start off, the greatest rappers to have ever been bred have been appearing on the scene of the rap industry with a chain of hit songs that could captivate the hearts of a million Catholics, anger overweight people, and change people’s views on tying their shoes (note to self, put that in next rap song). Princeton Graduates Soulja Boy, Lil B, and Lil Wayne are resurrecting the ‘bling-bling’ ‘big-booty’ ‘money-over-everything’ era of Rap from the 1980s-1990s. Most songs stray from being lyrical and choose to be appealing to viewers with an IQ lower than a peanut-butter sandwich with down-syndrome.
Second of all, certain lyrics that shouldn’t even be in a song are ‘bars’ such as; “Verse number 2 do the dang thang, keeps on my neck pocket's full of Ben Franks,” said by Young Joc, “When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet, Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets,” by LFO and “Sometime y'all get crimey crimey, grimy grimy, nut those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny” by Cam’Ron. It is too easy to become a rapper, throw some words, talk about intelligent topics only Harvard graduates can relate to, and watch as your cash inflow increases overtime.
In conclusion, today’s youth are slower than people of our age way back when, and why people in other countries consider us a laughing stock and give them another reason to not see America as a serious competitor in music. We should keep it real in music and stick to topics the average person could relate to, such as Life or Love. I also agree that the songs are appealing and catching. Songs like these should come out more often; they can uplift a person’s day, ruin it, or make it even weirder than it already was. You need at least half a brain to come up with lyrics people would recite to their friends or willingly in their own home on their own time, you’re doing something right.
