So over the past few years, in hip hop particularly, there have always been critics, some qualified, most not, who like to categorize music has being "good" music or "bad" music. This has always been an interesting subject to me but lately it has been brought to my attention because of numerous people saying that Lil Wayne is not a good rapper because "he isn't talking about anything"....well....what is it exactly do you want him to talk about? Do you want every song to be a ballad, or a story about something? Every song to be about the state of society? Every song to be a tribute to one of his dead homies? I dunno about you but i certainly do not! Those songs are cool in moderation. Personally, I believe that good music can be something with a nice beat (obviously I'm bias), just something that makes you move, makes you feel good, but not necessarily potent lyrically. Soulja Boy is another rapper who has been condemned because of his lyrics. But the same people who criticize him are the ones who were at the party leading the mass "Crank Dat" ritual. Who cares what he is talking about if you enjoy listening to it?! Plus, if you really really hate it that much, don't listen to it! Simple as that! .
Ok, Im off my soap box :)
