Recording Artist Lecrae attends the Soul Train Awards 2013 at the Orleans Arena on November 8, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lecrae raps...
"I ain't advertising brands on the radio
They expensive and I know they ain't gon' pay me for
Telling kids to go in debt, for the 'vette that they'll prolly never get
But I talk about it every song
And every song talking 'bout they selling work on every corner
Don't talk about the laws, taking kids away from mommas"
(get full lyrics)
Is he right? Let's look at the three top rap songs on Billboard and see ...
"Fancy" by Iggy Azalea (Featuring Charli XCX)
From the song ...
"Trash the hotel
Let's get drunk on the mini bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what I want
Yeah, keep on turning it up
Chandelier swinging, we don't give a f*ck
Film star, yeah I'm deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don't get to touch"
Translated - party like there's no tomorrow and think you're better than everyone else. Nuthin? Check!
"Believe Me" by Lil Wayne (Featuring Drake)
From the song ...
"Lord knows I'll murk one of these ni**as, yeah
His and hers Ferraris, ni**a
One for me, one for my daughter, ni**a
Waitin' for someone to test me like a Harvard ni**a
I tote a 223, two Michael Jordans, ni**a
Come on, fight these shell cases like a lawyer, ni**a"
Total count of N-word? 25, F bombs? 7 Nuthin? Check!
"Pills N Potions" by Nicki Minaj
From the song ...
"They see you doing good now it's kinda hard to diss you
They guess be sick when they remember all the bad they wished you
They guess be mad when they can’t come and live lavish with you
But I sped off in a Bency, I see the envy when I’m causing a frenzy
So I pop pills for them, cop cribs in the Hills for them"
Translated - my car, my house and my pill use causes everyone to envy me. Nuthin? Check!
