As for the rest of y'alls comments, I dunno, man. I think it is pretty incredibly ignorant to say that there is no depth to rap music's lyrics, even the mainstream radio stuff. Like, sure, they aren't rapping about the socioeconomic state of the underprivileged, or the tragedy of life in America, or even comparing various girls they're in love with to various things, but the idea that it's just simple "murder bitch money, check it I talk funny" seems woefully uninformed. The amount of wordplay that goes into, for example, the average Jay-Z track is stunning ("attract money my worst color is light green") and even those Odd Future kids are mad funny, for example "hell's angel, crack christ cross the face with erasers and use based god as his replacement." Based God referring to Lil B, who is another one of those really awesome rappers. The idea of raps continuity is another thing that really appeals to me, that all these disparate artists are working together, in the same universe, and reference each other. It's egotistical but it's also communal, and that's rad. You can like a rapper and think "man I hope he works with ____" and he probably will.
That's fuccin swag, you know?
