So I was listening to NPR one day, and they were interviewing a rap artist named "Ohene Savant". Naturally, I almost turned it off because I for one, used to hate rap with a passion. Then, I started listening to him, he was very intelligent and very well spoken, not to mention that his musical talent is incredible. He plays everything in his songs from start to finish, no drum beats, no pre recorded loops. He hardly ever curses in his songs, and his lyrics are pretty deep. I had to check him out.
Then, I found something really awesome The Top Ten Intellectual Rappers I didn't like all of the artists on there, but the one that stood out to me was "Illogic"
See? Rappers CAN create intelligent music, and poetic works of art, you just have to find the right stuff. It doesn't always have to be cussing every other line, it doesn't always have to be about *****s, prostitutes, and violence. It doesn't have to be what I call "Lyrical Pornography"
