I know alot of people can't stand listening to music that isn't loaded with the word "fuck". Personally I prefer explicit, and know alot of bands that could improve their music by adding a little color to thier vocab, but I don't need the music to have it. get rid of this if you want, i just wanna see what people say.
While not completely necessary I still think it can play a big part in adding some good emotion into a track, so yea, sometimes it helps spice up music a bit.
it adds character to music, but i dont need explicit lyrics to enjoy a song. But if a song does have colorful language in it, i don't want to hear a cleaned up version of it. Fuck censorship!
No, oldies don't have explicit lyrics and they still rock. but when it comes to rap and stuff, its pretty much mandatory to see how many times "fuck" can be said in the album.
i wish some one made a song dat only said FUCK! the closest ive ever heard was "ya'll wanna single" by KoRn

i agree with what most of you are saying. Rap is the only genre where fuck is a necessity, but its nice to have in all genres.
I personally think this is an idiotic thread. The original hip hop didn’t have swearing. I mean now days if you want your verses to be raw you keep the swearing out of it and put your skills into some meaning
ya say old hip hop doesnt have swearing, you must not lisent to L buck shot, das efx, or any of the shit even afrika bambaata curses everyone does
