2. Rap lyrics are mostly created by individual artist and not song writing committees. An artist could free style in person or on paper. It doesn’t matter because you don’t get
huge song writing teams that dominate pop, country and even hip hop music.
3. Rap lyrics are not music reliant. They actually sound better without huge overpowering beats behind them. Most professional rappers do their best work when they have mike without any musical accompaniment
4. Rap lyrics are not easily recycled since they are based on personal rather than universal experiences. The original lyrics can touch
audience but it is not easily transferred from one artist to another. Rappers can inject pieces of their personality, family history, educational background and more into their songs.
Of course, you can put samples into hip hop or pop songs, but it is very different for a middle class thirteen year old to remake your song and not sound like an idiot.
In
end, I still listen to all types of music. It’s just that when it comes to originality and raw musical styles, I’ll take rap lyrics over hip hop.
