Not all the time im not speaking specifically rap music its a good amount of songs that have good beats but the lyrics not so good.

Hook

Of any song?

Of any song?

Most songs yea. That's the part that stands out the most and its repetitive so it sticks in the mind.

The obvious answer is a marriage of both...

however....The beat is king. You can always drown out the wack bars with your own and just zone out...


edit: I just thought about it... You said "memorable"... Lyrics will only make something memorable in my opinion...

The beat.

I can always vibe to a track from Pro Era circa 2012, Jet Life, Blu & Exile, and TDE because the production just strikes home for me.
