Even then, you're probably still not getting everything. Theres literally rap about every single walk of life from every single era imaginable lmao. Nerd rap, rich rap, political rap, sad boy rap, girls night rap, party rap, weed rap, literally everything. You dont need to have grown up in the 90s to find "juicy" to be a banger of a song. You dont need to have grown up dirt poor to appreciate "lose yourself". Its THE most versatile genre in existence. --- This post didn't exist to you until you read it. You willed it into existence in your psyche by choosing to observe it. Thats the power you have. Use it well. <cite>Toonstrack posted [p:978644110] in How do you...

Thompson 02/04/24 2:11:25 AM #4:	I cannot get into rap because I'm "lyrics deaf" and rap is genre where the music is subservient to the lyrics. --- Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images. <cite>Thompson posted [p:978644172] in How do you...

berlyman101 02/04/24 2:12:23 AM #5:	I find it helps to start from the beginning, maybe listening to the great albums from the 80s and 90s that have accessible subject matter and lyrics. Then the really esoteric stuff from the late 90s on starts to make sense. --- "They think it don't be like it is, but it do." -Oscar Gamble <cite>berlyman101 posted [p:978644188] in How do you...

Link_of_time 02/04/24 2:29:06 AM #14:	I tend to find it's more about what you want out of rap. Do you wanna just bop your head, enjoy it for what it is? Be impressed by wordplay and lyrical acrobatics? Maybe you wanna hear a story or an opinion you haven't? <cite>Link_of_time posted [p:978644370] in How do you...
