I want to start by saying that I'm not the right person to talk about rap: we repel each other. I also want to mention that when you state, "That rap is the dominant cultural force among the youth seems clear to me. If you haven't noticed yet, just observe the clothing, the vocabulary, the movements of your child," you are probably right. I understand that Sfera's albums are aimed at a teenage audience, and no one expects him to be, for example, Joyce or Rimbaud (after all, neither is Dylan comparable to these two). However, the lyrics... I repeat, I'm ignorant about the topic of "rap," but the quotes you provided seem clichéd and overused, so internalized that even a teenager should want a different "narrative" by now... if not in content (anger and adolescent discomfort are still anger and adolescent discomfort), at least in imagery. Sure, he talks about what he knows and what many boys relate to... but these rhymes really belong to the fair of banality... (I know this is a long comment, but I wanted to explain myself and I'm not sure if I succeeded).

But go fuck yourself, man! I was laughing so hard I was burning my throat with the filter... only someone born in the early '80s could write this piece of crap!

You know, almost... speaking of confessions, I confess that I haven't listened to a good indie record in a while... you might have convinced me...

I must admit that I also have some issues with Ben... but maybe we can manage to smooth over our differences.

I agree with much of what you wrote... and you even sparked my interest in the album.

"he expected musicians to learn by ear the melodic lines he composed at the piano – no transcription – because he was convinced that “you play better with your eyes closed”... he understood that the great power of music is to settle in the spirit by “skipping” the intellect... Yes, a visionary."
