By that i mean lyrics that can mean something to you or maybe something in the lyrics you can relate to. For example i hear a lot of people say that they relate to a lot of things or events that the rapper Eminem talks about or says in his music.

    Just like poetry, rap has a way of challenging you to think about the words in front of you in different ways. Jay-Z states that people do not know how to listen to the entirety of the music, only choosing to pay attention to the beat. Similarly, rap can be deceptive. Jay-Z explained that listeners tend to take a literal interpretation and make fast opinions, and in order to fully appreciate the work just like any poetry piece you must listen to the song (even the trivial ones) and figure out what is really being said (Carter 78…
