It seems to me that there are only a few themes that make up the majority of modern black music.

(1) "I'm the best." Sometimes, they'll specify a thing they're the best at, like "I'm the best rapper." Sometimes they'll phrase it as "I'm better than you" or simply, "you suck." (2) "I have the most." This is mostly about material wealth: "Look at this gold chain I have." It can also be about getting women. (3) "I want to fuck." Or, some other base desire. I'm tempted to put "I want to get high" in another category, but for now, I'll put it here.

They also combine them. So, "I'm the best at fucking" is a combination of (1) and (3). Tupac's famous line, "you claim to be a player but I fucked your wife" combines all three. It says you suck, it says I've obtained something (your wife) and of course, I fucked her.

In their defense, some portion of this phenomenon is a result of (((producers))) deciding what rap songs get promoted. They're pushing the most simplistic garbage they can find. It also applies to pop music in general, but to a lesser degree.

What's funny to me is that I'm reminded of this meme: what are birds singing about?

(1) "I'm the best bird in the forest!" (2) "This is my tree! This is my territory!" (3) "I want fuck!"

This is the default state of nature. We have a drive to reproduce, and sexual reproduction often pits males against other males to compete for access to females - thus the bragging.

The only mental faculty capable of rising above this state is consciousness. But as I've said a few times in this thread, I don't think most blacks are conscious. If you aren't conscious, you kind of settle into this state where you follow base drives.

Here's my favorite example of "unconscious" music: Wait (The Whisper Song) by the Ying Yang Twins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAnXIIv5He8

I invite you to marvel at the intellectual prowess demonstrated by these

>You got a sexy-ass body, and your ass look
> Do you mind if I touch it, to see if it soft?

That's so bad - it's actually kind of impressive how bad it is. Try to picture in your mind the author sitting at his desk, composing those lyrics. For the first line, he wants to compliment the woman. He'd love to be poetic; to reach for some beautiful metaphor.

>"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate"

But lol no. He doesn't have the mental horsepower to conjure such prose. His thoughts can't go beyond "derrrr, I like sex. Derrrr, I like her body, it makes me want to have sex!"

He has no words to describe her body. He doesn't have the vocabulary. "Your ass looks soft?" Umm, okay. Thanks? He knows no superlatives with which to amplify the sentiment, so he resorts to "sexy-ass" which is how he probably describes everything. "Sexy-ass legs" or "sexy-ass eyes" - this is his native language and yet, that's the best he can do.

Then the second line: "Do you mind if I touch it, to see if it's soft" - he's incapable of thinking or expressing the abstract concept of desire, much less love. Words like

>Her body every way is fed, with orient pearl, with ruby
>with marble white, with sapphire blue, yet soft in touch, and sweet in view.

are as intractable to him as advanced calculus. He's a fucking retard.

He rhymes "soft" with "soft" - like, at least fucking pick a word that rhymes with soft! Nah, just use the same word.

And then of course, the rest of the song is literally just

>Wait till you see my dick


I'm pretty sure if you've been online for a long time you probably would have heard some guy in the comments section say "when you're sad you understand the lyrics"

Guess what, this is because barely anyone actually pays attention to what they're listening to they just pay attention to the melodies, beats and what not

No one pays attention to the lyrics my guy

Literally the entirety of rap music is like this. It's just words it doesn't matter if they make sense or not, people aren't there for poetry they're there for the music and the guy's voice

Who do you think is actually doing this poetry bullshit literally no one does

yeah, plenty of retarded black people, no disagreement there, but plenty of white people (e.g. Katy Perry) aren't much better

this is literally a copypaste of this kiwifarms post https://kiwifarms.st/threads/african-american-appreciation-thread.65074/post-23369453

Nobody cares about the source. The information itself is what matters.
