Has over-analysis of rap lyrics created a bunch of smart dumb brehs?

[cyndaquil]

Hear me out ok
I was just listening to some reaches in battle rap music


I noticed how they take some words and try to twist it into something clever and reach too far. But smart dumb brehs love this type of thing. They will search through rap lyrics looking and reaching the most to dig out some hidden meanings, double entendres etc. THAT WERE NOT INTENDED BY THE ARTIST. Even if they make no sense and run with them.

I've also noticed smart dumb brehs do the same thing with complex issues. Look for some hidden meaning or some coincidence and claim reach to explain it despite evidence otherwise.

Could it be that an overanalyze of rap lyrics is a symptom and/or created a lot of smart dumb brehs?

Always has, smart dumb analysis of lyrics transcends race, age, and time; just ask Tipper Gore

Just because it rhymes doesn't make it intelligent or true

Smart dumb nikkas think they are breaking the code and they are the only one smart enough to see it and they MUST educate you on how you’re being brainwashed and how you’re a sheep. Whether it be in lyrics, movies, tv shows books etc they will pick nonsense out of sense.

It’s actually a skill at this point.


Fun and jokes aside those peoples brains are wired to pick out clues where there are none.

You got ass sitting on your pupils, you over analyzing
Get it, that’s what you call over anal eyes in

People hyperfocus on wordplay, well it is important in one caveat of lyricism, You just clever but you not saying anytthing of substance and your lines not cohesive.

I'm still confused why people take lyric’s literally.

The problem is how pretentious it makes both the fans and acts as well. Guys like Lupe think they're the second coming of Bob Dylan, just because he wrote a double entendre that had to do with video games...it gets annoying. Battle rap is pretentious in their overuse and or clinging onto a trope. Like pocket checking, one one dude did it, everyone had to incorporate it into their rhymes.

I dunno, OP, but my brother and I have been cracking up at the wiki entry for Beyonce's "party" for years, for how they break down the Andre 3000 and J Cole verses

Party (Beyoncé song) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

After chanting the chorus for a second time, André 3000 surfaces around the 2:15 mark with "some very naughty references" to milk on the verses he raps,[1][14] "... another homeboy, that nikka named Cheese / fukk wit' me baby, I make it milk 'til it drip down yo' knees", before switching gears altogether and getting philosophical about his own career,[1] "Kiddo say he looks up to me, this just makes me feel old / Never thought that we could become someone else's hero / Man, we were just in the food court eating our gyros",[8] and finally adopting a "multi-syllabic tongue twister" to rap some of the finishing lines.[23] The song runs out with Beyoncé reiterating the lines, "Cause we like to party, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey", and West then reprises the opening lines.

Lupe is actually a strong lyricist tho

Never said he wasn't, he's still, like his fan base, pretentious.
