Can you younger people REALLY understand what Rappers are singing?

Question

Maybe it is better I can not understand the words?

Answer 1

lmao. My dad asks me that all the time, if i can "understand that stuff."

I can understand what they're saying, but my younger sisters, who are 16 & 15, listen to a different genre of music, and they can't understand what the rappers are saying either.

Answer 2

Yes and No. Its mostly about appearances and attitude these days and I have heard a few good lyrics.
Some of it is cool when in the mood it makes good work music but its weird how a lot of people that like rap have this weird hate attitude towards rock like its a racial thing or something. What ever happened to the direction of the early rap like A Tribe called quest? THese days most people don't play instruments and would not how to appreciate how awesome a good guitar solo is like some of Joe Perrys of Aerosmith ( BACK in the Sadddle) or
a good trumpet run in a jazz number. I've been listening to Latin music on the AM lately and expanding my horizons, everyone should do the same.

Answer 3

Most of them I can understand, but honestly some of them I can't and like you maybe that is a good thing sometimes.

Answer 4

i don't know about rap music...but i can understand the screaming death metal music. Which i found alot of older people have no idea what they are saying.

Answer 5

i can understand what most of them are saying, but if i can't i just look up the lyrics.

Answer 6

i can't.
they're too fast for me to process them.
i only catch like a few sentences in the entire rap.

honestly, i have to read the lyrics.

Answer 7

Answer 8
