....its corny because why spend time having substance to your music when you could be talking about money, %@++, and clothes? swag, and bagging mad !%+@@%! is all that really matters foreal, all that other #@$# is just wasted energy. besides, im trying to have a good time, im not trying to have to think while i listen to music.
they said the same thing about:
Tribe
De La
The Roots
Black Star
Common
and now Lupe
...and i dont even listen to Lupe foreal. i bought F&L but thats all ive heard from dude. what i DO KNOW is that his music has substance and most people dont like substance in their music. they dont want to say "i like my music on the stupid side" so they try to justify it by calling his music 'corny'.
i'm sorry bruh, but this has to be the dumbest response in this post. and i'm not saying this because i love the artists/groups named above.
so you say you don't want to have to 'think' while listening to music. isn't music about expressing thoughts and creating a mood for the listener? you say you want to have fun, so, and i'm just throwing an artist out there (my apologies if you don't support this person), lets say you listen to soulja boy. i can't stand mainstream cRap and r&b, but the artists in this genre are expressing their thoughts for you, the listener. soulja boy is all about his money and having fun. he's making the music for YOU to have fun, basically. if you're trying to tell us you're not even 'thinking' about having fun while you listen to your music? if you don't want to think then stick to instrumentals.
the artists above are introspective. one thing you can say about them is that they touch on different topics about life. i don't care what anyone says, but drake, rick ross, lil wayne, are GARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE. tell me you can't differentiate between the three regarding their music. it's the SAME thing. at least the artists you mentioned act like they have some sense about LIFE and can talk about more than 4 different topics. those being guns, money, the club, and girls. i understand you want to have fun, but being a drug kinpin, a blood/skater/hipster, or confused rapper/r&b artist who talk about the club aren't what make the world go round. there's stuff lupe talks about that has some relevance to what's going on in the world today and it's VERY important stuff. for the hip-hop listener that doesn't watch CNN, he/she has another outlet to find out what's going in the world. if lupe starts rhyming about the european debt crisis and this thing going on w/ greece, i'd applaud him.
