>Contrary to popular belief, rap lyrics do contain insight and capture cultural moments.

This, to me, is the most important part of rap. Rhymes are secondary. There's something really satisfying about listening to a catchy rap song then looking up the lyrics on genius.com and seeing how clever and layered the wordplay is, depending on the quality of the artist, of course.

And on the flipside, a lot of rappers are loved for their flow more than their words! Travis Scott, Migos & Young Thug immediately come to mind for flow/overall sound/aesthetic > lyrics (even though they have their moments).

And that's especially true given the huge increase in attention given to producers, to the point where people are more excited about collabs between producers & rappers rather than just rappers themselves

Raps super diverse, and super fun to watch evolve
