#18: Be Less Corny
I’m not going to pretend like every American rapper is a genius wordsmith. But to say that all of our rappers are corny is a bit of a stretch… We’ve got some seriously talented artists out there with styles and flows that are completely unique to the American hip-hop scene. And sure, some of the lyrics are a little… questionable.
But sometimes, it’s not about the words themselves but the way they’re delivered. Plus, let’s not forget that rap is a cultural phenomenon that originated in America. To my European friends, I challenge you to give American hip-hop a chance. And if you’re not feeling it, that’s fine.
