Do americans get/understand 100% of every rap song? As a non-native speaker, I can't quite follow of what MC's rapping about. It's like I get 70% of it... it's full of slangs, cultural references and it's often too fast (Outkast).

No. The only people who will get 100% of what a typical rapper is saying right off the bat are hood dudes that are from the same area as that specific rapper. Just use Genius and go on black forums if you want to figure out deeper local refrences which Genius can't figure out.

Well, who are you listening to? Most pop rappers are super easy to understand, it's the guys who are still local that are confusing.

It's American speak, no matter how street. At root even Germans can fuck with this.

Basically, as long as it's not most trap rap. Mumble rap can be quite hard to understand sometimes and it doesn't help that the actual lyrics can be complete non-sequiturs or just downright nonsensical. Anything else isn't very difficult and a lot of slang carries over across the regional scenes so you'll start to pick up on terminology.
