“Soulja Boy Tell Em,” some guy that raps or whatever, said something pretty incredible.
sure, rap is hopelessly reliant on unbelievably simplistic riffs and samplings of actual talent. sure, it’s void of conceptualization and rampant with consumerism. most music is, just like all genres probably have artists as backward and moronic as this kid.
but other genres don’t have the same access, the same following or as much image-centric emphasis. rap is built on conditions that lead directly to closer attachment than others.
it’s why companies flirt so emphatically with it in order for their brand to be thrown in rhyme with how bling or thug an artist is. it’s morons like this built up on depressingly inane “lyrics” and falsified credibility exposed as inept, that have soured my taste for the majority of rap music.
there are artists out there common, POS, etc. that actually say something and they’re becoming more and more rare.
