oh yeah, i operate that way as well. music comes first, lyrics comes second. and it almost always has to grab me on the musical level first for me to start liking what i'm hearing. lyrics serve for me most of the time as a bonus. too often, individual lines shine through the music, lines that deliver some heavy meaning to me, words that connect with me and before i know it i'm in on the narrative, with the music carrying it along. when that happens, i almost always have a perfect listening experience. but the musical aspect is always the predominant one.
it is one of the reasons why i really cannot warm up to Bob Dylan or Sufjan Stevens, who write songs with minimalistic music and overbearing lyrics.
hip hop, and especially American hip hop, works for me personally bc i really love it when there's a steady beat driven the music. i love it in hip hop and i love it in electronic music and i NEED it in industrial techno. industrial techno is like my fav genre, and i listen to it all the time. i know that techno is also not ur thing, right? so maybe ur taste is just not going along with the beat part in music? maybe there's not much u can do about it idk
armchair interpretations big time from me, sorry about that.
ha, i forgot u also love Dälek and Akua Naru is so great. yeah, they're a different kind of beat driven music.
tbh with u, i was not always really a hip hop listener, it took me a while to appreciate it myself, like i was already past 20. sometimes, music or genres or sounds u think u cannot get through to at this moment will come back to u later, at a different point in ur life and u suddenly click with it. i've had this happening to me so many times. i mean, i even ended up having phases when i would listen to almost exclusively black metal… as teenager and beyond that i found black metal and metal in general super cringe.
until i didn't anymore. and i took a deep deep dive into that genre, and a new obsession was born. admittedly i'm an all or nothing kind of person, so i usually check out so much stuff from the same kind and delve deep into an artist's oeuvre or an entire genre. 2020 was the year i almost exclusively listened to industrial techno, before that it was black metal, and now it's like only hip hop. i'm a simple woman i apparently can only appreciate one thing at a time.
oh well. -

The ONP 86 mix of Elevators is probably one of the few remixes of a song that actually slaps harder than the original. Perfect song to smoke a blunt and drive down the highway at night to.
I remember first hearing it on the GTA V soundtrack years ago. Became obsessed with that kind of hip-hop for a while because of it. Would always play as Franklin so I can do car chases and activate his ability to do slow-mo car driving while listening to the FlyLo Fm. That song was on after "Garbage" by Tyler, The Creator and was then followed by "Evil Grin" by Captain Murphy (aka Flying Lotus).
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one. -

I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in
It goes: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie
André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy
So when I'm not put on this list, the **** does not offend me
Thank you for talking to me -
