We see lil Wayne(left) and the words cool, gangster, hood, pimp etc pop up to mind. We hear his music and it's catchy and has quite the stealthy word play, He is adored everywhere and his lyrics include but are not varied to these examples;
"So I pick the world up and I’ma drop it on your f*ckin’ head
Bitch, I’ma pick the world up and I’ma drop it on your f*ckin’ head
And I could die now, Rebirth motherf*cker
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth, motherf*cker
I’m gone
Motherf*cker, I’m gone"
-drop the world
"She got the good good
she Michael Jackson bad
Im attracted to her
but her attractive ass
but now were murders
cause we kill time
I knock her lights out
but she still shine
I hate to see her go
but i love to watch her leave
but i keep her running back and forth
like a soccer team"

On the other hand, we have Christopher Drew(right), and his name always is associated with cute, dorky, gay, and inspirational. His songs are are also catchy and his lyrics are heartfelt. His fans are numerous and his lyrics go along these lines;
"Love is the weapon for this lukewarm congregation
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing
Love is the weapon for this wounded generation
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing
That the world will change
(world will change)
We all want change
(want it now)"
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing
Love is the weapon for this wounded generation
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing
That the world will change
(world will change)
We all want change
(want it now)"
-love is our weapon
"I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think, the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Uh, oh, oh
You're looking so fresh, it's catching my eye
Why oh, why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be"

The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be"
-happy
What people don't often see is that rock and rap and folk and jazz, country, latin, hip hop and techno, Lil Wayne, Christopher Drew, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, AC/DC, pitbull, Norah Jean and kid Cudi have one thing in common; they are all forms and artists of self expression. No matter how vast the differences the share may be they we all still be artists coming together in a community to represent music and their own personal interpretations of life.
