And... every rap artist also sings about this to in a certain extent. Except they at least have more variety and punch in their lyrical choice and chorus management. I mean off the top my head, 'Till I Collapse, Lose Yourself, Sing for the Moment, and a couple of other songs are about wanting to make it to the top.
A couple rap songs amongst the hundreds that rap artists put out don't make up for the latter which all talk about sex, drugs, and clubs.
Even songs that sound like they'll be about that kind of thing aren't. Give me everything (tonight)? Should be about living everyday to the fullest, instead there are lyrics like:
Get busy tonight
Cuz to more and more to do bad before and for Prius
Desperate tonight
I can make you my queen
And make love to you endless
Mmm, way to turn a potential good lyrical choice into a stupid, cliche one.
The only rapper (that's mainstream of course) that I'm aware of rapping truly about life is Eminem. Yeah he raps about drugs, but about overcoming and moving on with your life after them. Whenever there's sex mentioned in his lyrics it's usually either one of his comical songs or just to add to the story he's telling. Just noticed the songs you mentioned were all Eminem songs, so further validates this point right here.
The girl is like 14 years old, you can hate the song, but don't hate HER for it because all she was probably trying to do was sing about something that means something to her.

Did you even read my post?
This thread isn't about "Friday" it's about "My Moment". I was obviously only referring to that.
