Do you think rap is better if you're intelligent?
Vote
***EDIT** Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm talking about the fans, not the people making the music. The fans of rap have a higher IQ than average thanks to everything you need to know outside of just the music to enjoy it, and understanding the double meanings of lyrics, and all the pop culture, all the human history, important people, God, ect Between the word play, pop culture references, double and triple rhymes schemes and mixing it all together with samples and beats, I have to say that to really appreciate rap you have to be a lot smarter than average. I'm sure other with argue things like classical piano, and I'm exited to read them --- https://i.imgtc.com/hQ5SuG6.gif https://i.imgtc.com/QrhAq36.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Yjov9DU.gif ...

I love Rap but no. I know a lot of great musicians and Rap for sure has better lyrics but its a lot harder to make a songs in other genres then it is rap. Like just listen to Blues.

Show tunes, by their very nature, are at bare minimum smarter than rap. Double meanings make rap smart?

I personally don't feel that the art someone enjoys necessarily makes them more intelligent, as a number of things (conditioning, access, positive/negative reinforcement when considering that art, etc.) can go into why that person likes or dislikes it. as far as rap goes, it's my favorite genre, but there's a bunch of stuff I can enjoy at "base" level, even if I miss out on some of the wordplay, cultural references, and so on; it could just sound good to me. --- https://streamable.com/zrtjki ...

Your premise doesn't pan out. It's the equivalent of thinking you are smarter than someone else because you both had to play the 'guess what's in my hand game' and you won because you were given a sheet with everything that would be in the hand, and the other person was not. Also this is not something that is exclusive to rap.... This smells of a dunning Kruger conclusion, where you are able to recognize the references from your favourite rap songs, and know there is more to the lyrics, but don't know anything being referenced in other songs and assume there is nothing else to it. --- This is my signature.

Prob because it is currently the most popular form of music atm. larger pool of fans means higher chance of some really high iq ppl in the mix Edit: nevermind it seems like it only the #2 most popular genre.

For me it depends on the instrumentation. I think other genres demonstrate deeper lyricism (e.g. certain rock songs). But rap done well produces an impressive rhyming effect.
