The Missing Link in Hip Hop


Rap lyrics used to be reserved for cars, bitches, and guns. Now rappers are socially conscious, seemingly extra terrestrial, and attaining higher and higher levels of celebrity status. They're rapping about everything under the sun, collaborating with the math-rock bands of my not so ancient youth, and praising education. At least all my favorite rappers are still getting arrested.

However, there's a few subjects that are not being preached by most rappers right now, which is slightly disheartening. First, the existence of pre cum. It's a huge part of society, it's discussed in health classes, and the STD-afflicted community couldn't be more familiar with the topic. Since rappers love rhyming about sex and its aftermath, shouldn't pre cum be involved? Even romantic lyrics about pouring wine and candle light could hint at the appearance of pre cum. It also rhymes with rum, if the rapper wanted to profess how "drizzy" they were for the occasion.

This is too good to be sleeping on, weezy.

Second, rappers seem to be increasingly concerned with the gossip media. If rap lyrics can discuss the Kardashians, why can't they discuss the Jennifer Anniston Will Die Alone phenomenon? It's just as appealing and she's always crying alone in cars. Perhaps a rap ballad featuring Alicia Keyes or Mary J could touch on the subject? It would make a great music video and could even get you that coveted spot on the next romantic comedy soundtrack you've been dying to be included on. Remember, Valentine's Day is less than four months away!
