The reason why party tracks are so successful is because they are simple in nature.  The chorus usually consists of the same easy-to-remember lines; never multi-syllable words.  One artist though who refuses to follow such a pattern is Chicagoan, Lupe Fiasco.  His debut album, Food & Liquor, received critical acclaim for being unique and Fiasco doesn’t plan to change up styles on his upcoming sophomore effort, The Cool.  A potential song off the new album, Dumb It Down explores the usage of such elementary vocabulary in music today (see Jibbs).  Produced by in-house man Soundtrakk, the cut is a complex yet innovate way of storytelling.  Ya dig?

id like to say that Lupe is the best rapper out now... he speaks about real things and he is very intellectual... probably the best lyricist ive ever heard and thats real... all you hear today in rap is about guns, drugs, and degrading women... its refreshing to hear some truth coming out the booth
