[@Fabricant451] Not a big fan of Lupe Fiasco either, but that is someone that does tend to seem like he is trying to write good lyrics...well his trap song "Pu$$y" not withstanding...And I agree that there is a lot better music than what is playing on the radio. You can find good and things you like in practically every genre if you try hard enough. But, I do wish rap had a little more lyrical diversity, and I mean like concept albums. I would love it, but I really haven't found it. In the vain of things other genres have done. I can provide examples if you want to know what I mean. :P But I suppose maybe it's a little harder to do. But, I'm certainly not saying you can't like an artist. Though 'personality wise'? Eh...not really sure if that's possible for me to understand. :/

[@Gowi] Lived in the ghetto for months and went to a predominantly black high school. With mostly ghetto and growing up poor friends. I understand the culture more than the average person. But it's still a culture I'm not entirely sure is a good thing that exists. Because it provides a lot of negative double standard and bizarre contradictory things are said often. Like I'm not really sure, if a lot of things SHOULD be something that is taught by a 'street culture'. Because a lot of things taught, aren't exactly a good thing. Even if it is ingrained in their culture. But culture isn't always a legit excuse for actions. But I don't want to go into the weeds over something as goofy as Yeezus. So I'll just say, I get that 'shock rap' has it's place and I'm not someone that thinks the music shouldn't exist. I never said they can't have a point, but you have to admit it usually doesn't and they probably IS a better way to articulate through words beside those.

Also, like I said, I'm usually the same, when it comes to not having a clue what they're saying but not caring. And I like how the language can sound at times. But I think it may have to do with my music preferences. Plus, I haven't listened to a lot of J-rap in particular. And like all genres the more you listen to it and the more exposure to it, the more you'll learn to tolerate it and grow to like it.
