Pop music is not where children should be getting their "messages" in the first place..people listen to the radio to be entertained...in the modern era of popular music (60's onward), I'd venture to say that something approaching 90% of all popular songs in radio rotation have been either fairly shallow tracks about relationships (sappy love songs, or ballads, tales of love gone bad, i'm gonna make sweet love to you woman blah blah blah) or dance/party music...I guarantee you any song you have in your head as an example of how prevalent "message" music was on the radio in eras previous are cherry picked classics that were as rare as Nas' Daughters...lost in a sea of "baby baby" or "get down and boogie" songs from back in the day

Like here's a list of songs that were popping some random week like 30 years ago

Anyone want to point the abundance of songs with a "message"

B.O.B. (ft. Taylor Swift) - "Both Of Us"

Now how many close minded underground anti-mainstream elitists would ignore a song based on the fact that it's a B.O.B. song featuring pop artist Taylor Swift?

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[B.o.B]
Ever thought about losing it
When your money’s all gone and you lose your whip
You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya that you due for rent
And the grass so green on the other side
Make a n-gga wanna run staight through the fence
Open up the fridge ’bout 20 times
But you still can’t find no food in it
That’s foolishness
And sometimes I wonder, why we care so much about the way we look, and the way we talk and the way we act and the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
Does it even really matter?
Cause if life is an uphill battle
We all tryna climb up the same ol’ ladder
In the same boat, with the same ol’ battle
Why so shallow? I’m just asking
What’s the pattern for the madness
Everybody ain’t a number one draft pick
Most of us ain’t hollywood actors
But if it’s all for one, and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, from one of yall

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

[B.o.B]
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
You just wanna live, been everything so low
That you could drown in a b?
That’s why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
To every single time that they play this song
You can say that that’s what Bobby Ray wrote for us
When the tides get too high
And the sea up underneath get so deep
And you feel like you’re just another person
Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleed
Uh, because we won’t be near yet, both of us
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up
And even though we always against the odds
These are the things that’ve molded us
And if life hadn’t chosen us
Sometimes I wonder where I woulda wound up
Cause if it was up to me, I’d make a new blueprint
Than build it from the ground up, hey
But if it’s all for one, and one for all
Then maybe one day, we all can ball
Do it one time for the underdogs
From Bobby Ray, to all of y’all

[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

shyt actually has substance & is doing good on Billboard but since Taylor Swift is on it & it has a commercial beat ignorant cats will say it doesn't have substance. :rudy:
