  • Why do people find it necessary to prove their self-worth with the kind of music they like as if there was some type of causation between the two? I enjoy all types of hip-hop just like I enjoy all kinds of film. It's entertainment, all of it. If you think the type of music you enjoy is a reflection of your superior intelligence then you're just ignorant.

  • @greenmonsterpuppies (cont.) There is not one meaningful thing in lil waynes raps and if there is a song that hes made that is seemingly meaningful it doesnt matter because theres 100 other songs about sex, drugs and killing people for wearing the wrong color by him. Sage Francis raps about the truth and speaks wisdom.

  • Word , the GAME is strong in this one.

  • Ahh left over teenage anguish

  • Bones - Opening Episode... don't remember which 1 again though, but its the one where Temperence's dad kills the FBI chief. Or whomever it is haha

  • @SomeoneOnTheRun At the end of the day we judge entertainment based on what it provides for us individually. If you want to express your intelectualism through your taste in music, that's fine. But don't assume that people who enjoy lil wayne aren't capable of understanding sage's lyrics.  Sometimes we just don't need our music to reflect philosophical ideologies that we already agree with. Sometimes I just want to listen to flow, assonance, homophones...regardless of intellectual merit.

  • @SomeoneOnTheRun My girlfriend is the smartest person I know. You would never be able to deduce that based on her music and television preferences. She loves Shania Twain and loves Grey's Anatomy. Why? Because after spending hours in her medical textbooks she doesn't have any brain power or time left to try to digest and analyze lyrics or immerse herself in seasons of breaking bad. She just wants a quick fix of entertainment. Her academic life provides her enough mental stimulation.

  • @SomeoneOnTheRun I get that there are different levels of intricacy in entertainment, whether it be music, television or anything else. Sage Francis is a great rapper and there are a lot of great conscientious rappers that bring a deeper meaning to the content of their music. Having said that, I also enjoy lil wayne. Am I here to pretend that lil wayne is on the same level lyrically as sage? No of course not but they also aren't in the same genre. Lil wayne's music is a form of escapism.

  • @northeasy maybe that's the difference? It's all entertainment. You can't zone out and listen to rappers like this. You have to fully listen if you want to understand, and often many times over. I agree, there are some arrogant people who think they are superior because of what they listen to. That doesn't change the fact that some of these lyrics *require* a better understanding than the average listener is used to.

  • @2Evaysiv fu bro
