Most people don't even value lyrics of a Pop song, outside of the chorus. For most, it's about the melody and the general spirit of the song.

Bén has the writing level of a 2nd grader, so how the **** is he writing his own songs? His vocabulary is less than 500 words.

Pop music (well, at least the pop music you all considered "pop music") was not built on lyrical content. It's all about having fun, partying and THE BEAT!!! There are just different standards for different genres.

This post made me think of David Guetta

Lookin Ass Hittas is crazy.
I was listening to it the other day and it hit me how gr8 the wordplay is.

Willy, thoughts on her new song w/Juicy J?

As a Rihanna stan you really ought to be more appreciative of songwriting and the fact that some people do choose to pursue it as a career, because Rihanna herself sure as hell didn't come up with any of her #1's

Lyrics are not the reason Rihanna is successful.

Melody is songwriting too

I don't see how writing your own songs especially in Hip Hop is a talent. I can easily write one now.

Rapping is literally the easiest thing in the world.

Umbrella lyrics are the reason the song was successful though, the ultra universal chorus and the Ella ellas, the unique metaphor with the title

I like it. I don't listen to it frequently, but I like it. The Juicy revival is long gone (so summer 2012), but the song is still hot.

She says the n-word 42 times in Lookin Ass. Wow, innovative & groundbreaking stuff.

[Giselle]

Wait, I didn't know Big Sean was on Roc Nation now. That gives me more hope that the Rihanna collab will actually come out

[rihannafan]

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying songwriting isn't a talent. Just bad songwriting.

Iggy is no competition for Nicki.

Iggy's flow is the worst thing about her. That Charli Baltimore BS.

[FAME.]

Iggy's part in the XXL freestyle was so awkward

[iHype.]

Wtf he get skinny?

[GreasyBruce]

The n word in Lookin Ass is really relevant to the song and adds to it

Nicki's wasn't a freestyle. She clearly had that cigarette prop ready to go for that line "freestyled"

Can you imagine if Nicki and Iggy were put in a cypher together? Good lord.
