assets.noisey/content-images/contentimage/25919/lyrics.jpg Some fans obsess over the words in rap music like A-Level Literature teachers obsess over the collected work of Yeats. That’s fine up to a point, because no one wants to be the dweeb walking round the corridors shouting “I woke up to a new bukake”. But without song-structure, production, flow, a hook, and everything else that makes a good song a great song, you’ve just got a snap-backed fool who knows how to use rhymezone talking nothing about nothing. Still, a community exists that’ll have you believe the world has no taste because their favourite song that includes plenty of multi-bars, metaphors and words that require a dictionary has only been listened to by five people. Thoughtful but overbearing, they’ll circle-jerk to the parlance of MF DOOM, could write academia on Aesop Rock and will belligerently negate their friend’s music taste for not agreeing that Atmosphere are any good. Dropping knowledge is cool because it requires thought, which is why All-Lyrics-Everything fans posit their identity above listening to Chief Keef and Rich Homie Quan, instead mostly using obscure laws of syntax to try convince people that Sage Francis is actually good.
