Hip Hop Fans That Hardly LISTEN To Hip Hop Lyrics......?

I think there's 2 types of Hip Hop Fans that Never Listen to Hip Hop Lyrics:





1. The Type of Fan that likes what he/she hears on track %26amp; KNOWS the words by Heart..BUT doesn't know the "Street Term/Hood Term" of the Lyrics no matter how Disrespectful it is towards females or how Nasty it is.





2. The Type of Fan that Listens to a track %26amp; NEVER listens to the lyrics..But Likes the track because of "The Hook" %26amp; The Beat. The Fan doesn't need creative Lyrics to like it, All they need is an hook they can remember %26amp; that sounds "Hot".





My Question is....Why do many of these so-called Hip Hop Fans Like Simple-Minded Tracks so much?





Is it Because the Fans are so UNEXPERIENCED with hip hop that they have to listen to something that's EASY to remember?

Hip Hop Fans That Hardly LISTEN To Hip Hop Lyrics......?
Because a lot of fans of hip-hop now are predominantly pop fans who are branching out into different genres.Of course they are going to be listening to the ones who they can catch on easily.And they'll just treat every word on the song like every other word and recite it because they think it's okay to say the word.How many people know that "superman" is a sexual term,which is kinda unhygienic and gross.Just let them catch on to hip-hop first and ease them into the deeper stuff at their own pace.I started hip-hop listening to Eminem,and even though he's pretty good his music is still quite commercialised.Then after a while I listened to 50 Cent,then Jay-Z,Nas,Tupac,Biggie,Dr. Dre,NWA,Eazy-E,etc..You gotta give them time because they probably grew up listening to Kylie Minouge or Madonna,not KRS-One or Marley Marl.
Reply:I'm a beat freak, but take notice of the lyrics on nas and rza's tracks cause they got something to say.


I'm all for a good hook but these yung south r%26amp;b cross over hooks are just getting so saturated - take souljah boys rip/sample on throw some d's - ouch, Kanye's was classic but now souljah has just destroyed both kanyes remix and the original.


And how many times can a new act have a song called pop,lock and drop it ?


Something meaningfull like common's/will.i.ams have a dream pls!
Reply:Because they dont listen to the lyrics. You already know the answer.
Reply:I think they like them because they're just catchy and for the fact that the songs are simple-minded. Its just something for them to listen to at a party, in the car or when they're out with friends. I know i do but when i'm at home or when i'm hanging out with my friends i can listen to Nas, Jayz, Common, Mos Def etc. and dicuss the lyrics.








So i guess i can say i tend to straddle the fence but i DO NOT go around saying Soulja Boy is the best rapper alive. I'm sure thats what kind of fan ur talking about.
Reply:They like what everyone else likes...
Reply:in europe (not uk), most of the people don't understand english. thatswhy they don't care what people rap, just how cool the beat is. or they listen to their own stuff like german, spanish etc. rap.





on the other hand, you have stuff like odb (damn, i love his stuff!) but listening to his lyrics...;)





nowadays, lyrics ain't that what it used to be.
Reply:Guess I'm # 3. The Hook %26amp; Beat attract me first, then the Lyrics kick in. I understand the Street Terms but really don't care what the song is about (dirty, clean, derrogatory, whatever). I'm all about the Flow. If it moves me I like it. I don't think this answers your question but I tried.
Reply:why do u people take rap so seriously? you sort of sound like the Ku Klux Klan of hip hop. Dont get me wrong, i like rap and all that other stuff, but why do u have to take it so seriously... isnt music made to entertain?
Reply:U JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION. YEAH FANS LIKE SOMETHING THAS EASY TO LISTEN TO. EASY TO REMEMBER AND HAS EASY LYRICS. NOT ALL FANS OF RAP ARE HIP HOP FANS. PERSONALLY I LIKE COMPLICATED LYRICS BUT LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE SIMPLE RAP TOO. U HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A BUISNESS BEFORE IT IS ANY THING ELSE. IT'S COOL THAT THERE ARE REAL HIP HOP HEADS OUT THERE BUT THIS IS THE GENERATION OF THE CROSS OVER, WHERE ALMOST ANYTHING GOES. AND THE TRADITIONAL ARE RIDICULED FOR THERE REALNESS.
