deleteduser579Begs the question why people conflate popularity and quality if it’s obvious that to be more appealing to people you have to dial back lyrics, flows, production, etc. into something more accessible and easy listening
Because of social proof popularity can be a sign something is good too, there is a lot of good popular music that wasn't MADE to be popular - it just later BECAME popular - Atlanta trap music wasn't originally made with a global audience in mind but it ended up as that.

Oblivion XLayered is probably the better word than overstimulating.
Jay Elect is a lil extreme example but he gets the point across. If you have no knowledge of NOI/5%, Islam, esoteric religion/myths, random films.
You might be able to still enjoy the production and the sound of him rapping, but the lyrics probably make no sense at all to you, and the references go over your head most the time.
Pretty much, it can still be enjoyable even without the deeper understanding
So many rappers referenced 5% in the 90s, but it didn't make them less appealing to people who were completely oblivious to it
Wu-Tang is a worldwide brand atp and but how many of the people who've heard 36 Chambers even knew they were listening to 5% teachings/the 120 lessonsSZA is inspired by RZA & GZA & she might not even know that the letters are 5% letters, she ain't Solana Zig-Zag Allah, she's 'SZA'
Although I'm definitely appreciative of people like you who are willing to understand that these great rappers are craft & their work is worth a***ysing (although maybe we dont need that Dissect podcast

)I always said I think a big reason why people say Hov washed Jay on AWT is because a lot of flips and wordplay jay was doing with his references just wasn't connecting as well as Hov more accessible lyrics

this is the dumbest discussion i have ever heard
1. no one has ever described rap as over stimulating
2. all those metaphors and slang he used in the video are not that abstract
3. racism

rather lateInfantilization combined with theraphy speak at its best man
How f***ing dumb do you have be to get ‘overstimulated’ because of metaphors and slang?
Has this person heard of books or poetry?
hayabusa 🌐Oct 9, 2025·1 replyhey, white neurodivergent here! i physically cannot listen to any other genres that what i grew up with (rock + metal + goth) without getting overstimulated. i feel a lil extra overwhelmed while listening to rap because all the beats and tech s***. it isn’t racism, it’s schedule.
