A perfect example is this song I was listening to... The main lryics go like this:

"Spend money honey. Spend money honey."

And then in between all the lryics there's this guy that says,

"Spend nigga!" "Drink nigga!"

I had to listen to that shit for a whole month before I realized that the message is not really to spend and drink -- the message is that you are a stupid fucking chump if you buy into all the "bling bling" and "let's get fucked up" attitude... That's how these rappers can claim to destroy their opponents... All I have to do is tap into your insecurity, your weakness, etc. with my lyrics -- and you are at my mercy... So for all the people that whine about rap music -- they are just victims in the line of fire of the rap artist -- and yet the message continues -- driven by economics -- that *IS* true genius -- and remember, TheFLY said so.
