Do you listen to hip-hop reading the lyrics or not?

I can't read. But I do listen to hip hop.

of course not, only the rythm and flow count

if it is the first time listening to it, yes.

>>72241094
I try to when it's possible.

>>72241094
I don't listen to hip-hop

>>72241094
Hip Hop is the only type of music where I can understand the lyrics without paying attention, so no

>if it is the first time listening to it, yes.
It's the opposite for me, and I was just about to post about it. The second listen is when I pay attention to the lyrics.

>>72241094
When I listen to any music I never look for the lyrics or actively try to attach some meaning to every word which is being said on my first listen, I just listen/experience the song in it's entirety.
The lyrics could be the best ever, but it doesn't matter if the song as a whole isn't good.

I look for lyrics on my third/fourth listen if I really like something.

i heart hip hop lyrics

it's probably a better method than mine

>1st and 2nd listen
No lyrics, no distractions, just the music. Get first impressions.
>3rd and 4th listen
Lyrics in front of me.
>4th and 5th listen
Have the lyrics generally memorized. Listen to how the production works with the vocals.
>7th listen and above
Have the album pretty much figured out and can give a solid opinion on it. If I like it, I'll listen to it more.
