Enrty#10 $ex $ells

                One of the most popular music genres among young people is rap and hip hop. Today music has changed dramatically and it is all portraying sex and drugs. As we all know nowadays music seems to be all the same, it is true that it may sound good; but what are the lyrics really saying? Currently in today’s music every single rap songs talks about either selling drugs, taking drugs, drinking, and having countless women to sleep with.  Nowadays it seems like these kind of songs are the most popular. We have artist like Future and Migos that seem to rap words we cannot understand, but we seem to like it. Honestly the music these artist create are catchy but the lyrics are just horrible. Even artists that use to be good like Lil Wayne  has now hoped on the band wagon, and now his music consists of popping bottles, doing drugs,   and having ho*s.  Although some of the rap music in the earlier days did talk about that a lot of them had meaning like Tupac’s music. He rapped about his struggles in life and how he got through them. Today music is not like that anymore it seems like all we want to hear is the same stuff over and over again.   We no longer hear about an artist struggles anymore and they are constantly rapping about their “success” through big mansions, shiny jewelry, and fancy cars.  Today it seems like all you need to be successful in a rap career is a cool beat and a smooth way to say you got money and women.

  1. Yeah now a days we don't understand their lyrics, which, if you think about it's kind of funny. I'm with you on this one because rap music portrays sex, drugs, and partying.
