Swag Me The Fuck Out
beat mouse:
I don't understand how you're expecting anyone to justify the appeal of pop music to someone who has no interest in it. If social importance and lyrical content are what makes or breaks music for you, that rules out a vast chunk of music, and it's a little absurd for you to think there's some in depth explanation for why some of us like music about selling crack and using the proceeds to buy solid gold swiss watches.
David_Dovey:
Honestly I think most people's critical apparatus goes out the window when it comes to Music That Is From The Streets
BrittanyMarie:
plus it is generally excellent party music and driving music when you're driving for long straight stretches and you want to holler along to keep you awake
Scandanavian War Machine:
Three Six Mafia is as far south as I can handle going and even that just barely

FYP! Actually a lot of southern rap seems tailor-made for strip clubs. Moreso back in crunk day, but still.
Also the more I listen to hip-hop/rap the more I come to mistrust this apparent divide between the two of them, as if they were entirely different animals. Fuck you, I can listen to Raekwon and Masta Ace in the same sitting. And I don't think that Brother Ali needs any kind of weak shit apologies because he doesn't rap about crime or his bank account. There's a certain deficiency to the idea that the only really compelling thing an MC can present is braggadocio.
