It was hidden

It's everywhere, all these political, social messages ...

Of course music is entertaining too, but we saw earlier that most musicians use music to make their views into the world.

Much of the subjects seem to be about having fun and partying all the time. But how much can you really believe ? how deep do you have yo dig to know the truth ?

I've been stumbling on blogs about these subliminal messages in music. and I must say that the critics were different.. some were like ' oh gosh how could I have misunderstood this ', while others completely '' hated '' the artist for what he was saying ( A christian man made a whole article saying that hip hop is the evil .. )

How deep do we have to go to understand the true meaning?  .. well .. a little, because Rappers use their lyric to criticize political power mostly, however if you're not from the 'Rap world' , and don't understand the slang, then I think you might spend way too much time to finally not even know the real meaning.

I'm not saying that I do understand, but I did some research and found some interesting things.

Gangsatrap for example is a form of hip hop that purports to reflect urban crimes and violent lifestyles of inner city youths. The rhyming vocals and urban slang in this type of music is so elaborated that I'm going to allow myself to call them poets. You all probably know the rapper Ice T ..
don't worry, I didn't know he would belong in this category; He's the FATHER of this category.
And I think I found the perfect song to show this.

song: Ice T- I must stand 

'' I was like makin' bout 1-50 a week

and after taxes, you know what that is lunch meat ''

Now this is something I laughed about; you know this song where Ludacris sings '' how low can you go , how low can go '' etc .. ? so someone told me there's another meaning that just going the lowest you can with your bump. And it appears to be drugs . 

How low can you go, for taking drugs, tearing your life away . 

So IF i'm right, and I know you're all thinking of it already too ; All these nice little girls in the club who are singing this line ( shouting is much more appropriate though ) , are , forgive my english , idiots .

Anyways .. I don't know if changes have been made thanks to this . but here's something, even our beloved Jay-Z isn't always using beautiful straight meanings :) 
Have a Listen :
