Wow, touchy.

Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do! ;-) (sorry 6-th season just started and I'm somewhat influenced)

I listen to rap music. I've heard hundreds of songs so I'm at least order of magnitude less experienced rap listener than you. I often like the music and interesting music tricks. I think rap music is averagely innovative and pleasant to hear. I can even quote some fragments of lyrics (surely not as many as you) but that's not because I like them. It's just because when you throw shit at wall some of it will stick.

As for educating myself no one can know everything so I prefer direct my physically limited learning capacity at different subjects.

If you have free capacity I'd like to interest you in a thing that I consider clever lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmfo-eL9VKc

Well, it's good to know you didn't pass judgment without listening. Now you just need to hear the music :)

Those lyrics are indeed clever, but I was bored right away honestly, even after fast-forwarding through the intro.

Go watch this and tell me it's not an awesome song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aj1sznTdLM

I don't want to enrage you or continue this discussion. We have just different tastes. I'm writing this because you phrased your suggestion in a way that you seem to be expecting an answer.

The song you suggested is a nice song. In a summer radio kind of way. Like an average pop song. Reminds me of "Save Tonight" (which btw I consider much more awesome). Lyrics are good especially if you are slightly detached from real world an in "sad reflection on life of some people you've never met" mode at the moment of listening.

Sorry if you took my comment as offensive, that's my last one.
