I’m not a big fan of Rap music, but one thing that’s great about Rap is that it makes you listen to the words.
That may sound obvious and a little dumb, but it’s the opposite of the music that I grew up with.
I have about a million songs in my head, most of which I can whistle the melody note for note, but can hardly remember more than a few lines of words.
I think with Rap it’s the exact opposite.
And when I do listen to the words of some of my songs, I’m sometimes very surprised.
For example, did you know the The Beach Boys classic “Help Me Rhonda” was about a surfboard named Rhonda?
Or that “Me and Mrs. Jones” by Billy Paul was about cheating?
