Critically important textual analysis of rap lyrics.
Rap music often leaves me wanting a degree of closure, because a lot of the rap songs I've been listening to lately tend to accuse me, the listener, of "fronting", while being composed of allusions to the rapper's superior skill at rapping to my own (touche) and ranting threats. While a solid formula, it leaves me wanting more.
Now and again, a song with a narrative comes along and leaves me wanting closure out of curiosity toward the outcome.
After 3 and a half minutes of heckling and abuse, did the "bitch" in Ludakris' "Move, Bitch" in fact get out of the way? If not, what consequences did she suffer? If so, what happened next?
No one will ever know...
