I. Beats Verses Lyrics Being someone with the love of the hip hop genre and the love of analyzing lyrics, I sometimes see myself enjoying tracks from mainstreams artist. Not to say ALL mainstream artists are bad or have bad lyrics, but 810, most mainstream artists are pretty simplistic lyrically. I am well aware of the intentions of mainstream hip hop, to have fun and enjoy something to bob your head to. However, the formula for these songs gets very old very quickly, in my option at least. Look at every Chief Keef track ever released the same, but semitweeked lyrics and subject matter with banging trap beats. Not to say I dont enjoy these tracks, I really do, actually they just get old extremely quickly On the other hand, most artists that are outofthisworld lyrical, usually have great production and throws you on an adventure to figure out what in the fuck theyre trying to paint a picture about without looking up shit ie Rap genius Overall, I see ALL music as art not just hip hop and am glad that the genre expands soo far with always new shit to discover simplistic or not
