hi, here is my comment:

This is why I love music. I didn't understand a single word but I couldn't help but vibe to those tracks, specially the first one(the melody is now stuck in my head lol). This is why I love to indulge and experiment with different genres.
But as a hip hop fan and hip hop being my first love I have to say that most of what is heard on the radio or in clubs is just spoof meant to dumb us down.

If you were to ask me who's "hot" right now I wouldn't be able to as they all sound the same these days. But there are always a few hidden gems like Lupe Fiasco's "dumb it down" in which he describes the current era 10 years ahead of it's time, or his "bad b**tch" in which I think he perfectly demonstrates what you said here;

My point is that teenagers should not adapt on songs that are explicit. I know some of them are just expressing on their own way but some of their fans approach it on a wrong way.

I love the fact that I can go back and listen to Joe budden's "stuck in the moment" or "inseperable" if I want an emotional rollercoaster, that Wale's mixtape "more about nothing" has some of the most beautiful spoken word I've ever heard and that I can go and listen to Royce da 5'9 (as explicit as he is) whenever I want punchlines or just to laugh.

I feel like the real problem is that within every genre the mainstream sells us so much bs, so hard, that we think we have no other choice. And that is why I get overjoyed when I discover pure talent such as this band that aren't using nudity or the "popular" key phrases of the moment to go viral. And for that I am thankful @qyugmo, it really was a blissful experience and I think we should all strive to bring our heritage out to the World like you just did :)

I agree that words are not everything. I also enjoy a lot of music which I can't understand.
