Just hours ago, a friend tried to tell me that Lorde's comments were meant to tear down Nicki and Drake. I told her that Lorde had praised Nicki before and she made a completely true comment: It can be hard for us to connect to her music because we don't live that lifestyle. Almost all of rap is like that because rappers are more likely to mention specific things, events, and experiences than singers.
Just because you can't connect with a song doesn't mean you don't enjoy the song or the artist behind it.
