Why is it that rap and R&B music is so catchy? Well, because they HAVE to
be. If you could understand the lyrics the first time you heard the song, most
people would abhor the music. So the
music itself must be mega-catchy, so that people will listen to the music in
SPITE of the lyrics.
To illustrate my point:
“I’m trying to find the words to describe this girl without
being disrespectful- Damn, she’s a sexy bitch.” (From David Guetta’s ‘Sexy
Bitch’) Wow. Really. You’re trying to find the words to describe someone
without being disrespectful- do you KNOW the meaning of the word disrespectful?
“This ring here represents my heart and everything I’ve been
waiting for, just say it, I do….All I want you to do is be my love….but forget
your face, I swear I will.’ (From Justin Timberlake’s ‘My Girl’). That’s a win.
Marry me, then I’ll forget your face.
And, of course…
“Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah! Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah! Yeah, Yeah! Yeaah!” (From Usher’s ‘Yeah’)
But then again, maybe women-hating and repetition
is what you look for in music? Yet, the tune is so catchy, here we are, listening to the songs anyhow....
