Dumb down lyrics means to not say what you wanna say cause it will go over mainstream heads.

I know that.....thats why I asked..........if majority of people can't understand then the problem lies within, communication skills need to be stepped up

And in some occasions it is so as to not offend.......but I say fuck that say what ya feel.

 

[RED Hood]

.....make sense in the first place, your not special if you come up with a complicated way to get your point across, that means you lack communication skills.........the smart lyrics are the ones that everybody can understand

have u meet some hip hop fans they read at a third grade level and still use their fingers to count . It's not very hard to go over their head .

or you lack intelligence...

The top 40 hits mainly consist of the same hook over and over again, and now it has even dropped down to the same hooks and choruses over and over again... worse... even the words are said 3-6 times at the end of the bars too...

The reason you like an artist, if it's not to dance to the beat, it's to listen and to relate to the message the person is communicating... if you can't understand the message... it's probably not for you in the first place... Some kats are really just STUPID... so they record DUMB music and DUMB people like it so it's popular... That is all...

There are alot of dumb ass mfs out here, especially young mfs. Take for example, i know this bird ass bitch talking about "awww i didn't know J Cole meant Sallymae the school loan lender, when he said "work a good salary just to pay back sallymae", i thought he meant some girl name sallymae". People are so dumb as fuck nowadays, that's why niggas like Lupe don't get the recognition of a lil Wayne, because his verses are so layered with entandres and extended metaphors, while that Big Sean, Wayne, Drake corny punchline scheme is.

People don't understand figures of speech!

so she dumb cuz she never had a student loan and doesn't know who sallymae is........suurrre....... if she said "I'll open my uretha and spit", and a nigga didn't understand the message she was conveying, then its cuz of her lack of communication for not speaking in universal terms so that the so called "important message" is received, not the no pussy getting nigga fault for not knowing the female body, he's a man not a woman

thats hog wash......niggas wanna be teachers but can't teach the class, thats a dumb teacher if you can't get a bunch of dummies to learn.......so now it should be understood why the top 40 are top 40, they've figured out the simple mechanics to get their point across without stressing the mind, PURE GENIUS

are you republican? All you're doing is saying you're too ignorant to comprehend a higher learning because you wanna listen to dumb music... listen to your dumb music, because you're only feeding into the system.

The point of music is to think... you're part of the reason 70's music died along with it's independence.

naw I'm smart enough to know bullshit when I hear it, everybody act like they got this big lesson to teach or message to spread and after 30 years of hip hop niggas still aint said shit, I understand ya Lupes and whoever and wonder whomever think this some special decoded shit gotta be a dumb muthafucka, cuz niggas aint saying shit that aint already been said

 

[The BAPHOMET]

..............

insults don't change that fact that these niggas smart enough to exploit the ignorant fools dumb enough to believe they really have a message or lesson to teach

 

[wordsRweapons]

Damn this nigga read my mind. I cosign this thread 100%.
Rappers like Lupe Fiasco are not saying anything special. They deliver a very simple message in more complex ways.
Why would you intentionally make a simple message complex?
If you wanna spit something complex then you need to find a more complex/intelligent message to send.

Watch Lupes next line be,
Rhymes birthed by intelligent design more so, My style is comprised of the actions of the cartilidge bones on the left and rights of a birds torso.

Just to say that he is fly lol

You shouldn't have to have a student loan to know what Sallie-Mae is dude, that shit you should know just from reading or observing shit. I bet her dumb ass knows what a bottle of Novu is though. smh

[jonlakadeadmic]

If a simple message if conveyed in a complex form it just shows their lyrical ability as an MC, whats so wrong with that?
