In any music genre, listeners can find it difficult to understand lyrics, particularly if artists have a regional accent or use word play, slang or puns. Whether the song is fast or slow, misunderstandings can lead to some interesting lyrical ideas, many of which are far off the mark or nonsensical. Rappers are particularly known for wit and creativity with language, not to mention the
. lightning-fast speed with which they spit out lyrics. It is no wonder that rap lyrics are some of the most misunderstood.Thankfully, with the wide array of websites devoted to rap lyrics, there is no reason to continue in ignorance for very long. If a listener knows the title or artist of the song, they can search for lyrics on websites like UrbanLyrics.com. Users can browse this website by artist or band, or they can use the convenient search feature. Lyrics are broken up by verse and singer, so it is easy to follow along and learn the words. When listeners want to ensure that the lyrics are 100 percent correct, they can visit the official website of the artist to see if lyrics are available there. Sometimes, the CD liners are available for viewing, and these sheets often list the song lyrics of each album.When a listener is unsure of a song title, or perhaps has no idea who the artist is, a search engine can help. One must simply just type the name of the song and/or artist into a search engine, and innumerable lyrics databases are sure to appear. In instances where a listener wants to know the name of an unknown rap song, typing lyrics -- even just a few lines -- into a search engine can bring up the name and artist, as well as the rest of the unknown lyrics. There are also programs available for mobile phones that can "listen" to music that is played and provide the name of the song and the artist. From there, it is sometimes possible to follow links for unknown lyrics. For more information, please see: http://www.reference.com/motif/Entertainment/rap+lyrics
