All rap sounds the same at this point.

"Cars...hoes...money...I kill you" pretty much sums up most rap music. Might have been original in the 90s, it's now tedium.

You've clearly never listened to music from Nas then, or any female rapper, or any of the hundreds of hip hop artists worldwide that don't mention what you're on about.

"Hundreds" worldwide isnt many!!

...there are websites that track the use of language in rap and hip hop.

Guess the words that make the most used words in the genre.

The facts are there. I'm not taking away for Nas or his abilities.

the fact is that you don't want to put any effort into expanding your knowledge of the genre

"The fact is" you have no idea about my knowledge of the genre.

Fact is, there has been data collated about the language used in rap music...and you can guess what it boils down to.

You've exposed your own lack of knowledge about the genre and expect others not to notice? judging any genre by the top lyrics will make the seem boring and repetitive. the top rock lyrics would be just as generic. a lot of "baby, yeah, no, love, girl, heart, night" etc

"You've exposed your own lack of knowledge", explain the exposè?

I pointed out a fact.

I've heard enough rap music over the years...been to festival witnessed plenty of big acts live.

Simply untrue. Industrial hip-hop peaked within the last few years, drumless production has taken off, indie/undie legends are putting out some of their best material, some of the biggest mainstream artists fall under conscious rap, and Open Mike Eagle exists.

If you've stopped listening to the genre then stop commenting on the state that it's in.
