Discussion I HATE unnecessary rap

[fuaruhan]

I have recently discovered the latest song from The Weeknd, entitled Creepin'. Abel's dulcet tones are nothing short of celestial, evoking a sense of floating every time I listen to the song. However, I HATE when the rap chorus comes in at the end of the song. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that rap can often seem as an unneeded and an afterthought addition to the pop song, solely to broaden appeal. Furthermore, the often-sexually explicit and morally degrading lyrics are 180° contrast. Why music producer? Why?

Clean, no rap version (unofficial T_T)
