This topic is providing the audience with visuals to artists lyrics in Hip-Hop.  It's showing how lyrics take a major part in Hip-Hop and not just the flow or sound of it.  One side of an argument may say lyrics doesn't matter and if you feel good while hearing the music, rather flow or sound, that's all that should matter like Young Thug or Future. A pro to this is it sounds good and has rhythm, while a con would be that sometimes it lacks meaning. Another side of an arguement that lyrics are what matters like listening to Nas or LeCrae. One may say they're making music and are suppose to enjoy themselves, A pro would be it's meaningful, it has something to offer/ Not too many cons for having lyrics.
