run dmc


Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak

What level of education have you guys attained?

This question is very important to understand the context of this argument...For a person with 3 degrees like me, I didn't detect any 'complexity' in the rhymes that have been posted thus far...

u most definitely are trolling.
How so?

1) Dude didn't even give a working definition of 'complex' so that means ANYTHING can be defined as complex...

2) What is the context of this discussion? For a high schooler maybe hip hop is 'complex' for somebody with multiple degrees would it still be?

There are rock songs that tell a lot with just using a few words, while there are rap songs that use a lot of words but the message boils down to "I am better than you"...

3) Thinking and questioning is now trolling? :lolbron:
