Very true, let's see an an example, I just spoke to a friend of mine, he's a car mechanic in his early 20's, not extremely bright, modern gay clothes, very trendy boy not original in any way, good mechanic though and he listens to Lil Wayne etc.
The problem is he DOESN'T understand English!
So I said DUDE, what's the point, do you know anything about hip hop?
Hip hop is where lyrics is important, and especially in case of Lil Wayne where you have all those jungle shrieks and terrible PC speaker like sounds in the background, it's the ONLY thing that CAN be interesting.
So I asked him why would you listen to this if you don't understand what he's rapping about?
Obviously he couldn't give me any answer, he's just another victim of the mass media lobotomy of style.
