Rapper's who can drop knowledge on a track, so you can learn from. That's what I meant, my fault ya'll.

i'd like to know one thing that any one of you have actually 'learned' from a rapper...

[Money]

i'd like to know one thing that any one of you have actually 'learned' from a rapper...

ive learned regional slang. but nothing of value.

[QuietTruth]

i'd like to know one thing that any one of you have actually 'learned' from a rapper...

I've learned alot of 'social events' or whatever you wanna call it, that happened, that I haven't heard of before.

I've learned about other religions believe it or not.

I've learned vocabulary.

Homie, rapper's say alot of shit in they lyrics and when I listen to that shit, I have wikipedia by my side. Alot of real rapper's teach they people how to be proud and shit, not now, but Public Enemy days. And weather those records are years old, you can still go back and learn from them no matter how old you are or how old those records are. I don't even understand why you would ask that question?

[Tanjential]

we should be able to learn alot from art. if you aren't you need to reevaluate the quality of the art you're listening to
