To an extent, impressing people is a big priority in making good rap music. I dont rap about many political issues because I would rather my music outlast currant world news..
An insightful and very true quote I remember goes like this.
"A great mind discusses ideas, a smart mind discusses world events & a weak mind discusses people."
Ofcourse this isnt the thought pattern for most rappers, but I'm not most rappers. & Although underground music can be really dope at times, its not an amazingly good goal or ambition to become an underground artist. But youll find most of them carry certain flaws that prevents them from going big time..
You have to know what people want to listen to and mold it into your own style or your career will go nowhere. Thats how the industry works and a lot of weak rappers get an easy run because their shit is so simple people understand it better. Thats where lyricism has its faults and I could go on for ages about the sort of stratigys that run through my head to counter attack this problem, but its best people make up their own ways of dealing with things like that.
