Genre Jump Re-write

Different Genres of music have a completely different sound than one another. With Big Tymers classified as the 'rap/hip-hop' and The devil Wears Prada as the 'Screamo' genre, there are bound to be different listeners. With Big Tymers, you can probably understand the sound a lot easier than DWP's version. Big Tymers sing 'Still Fly' smoothly and at a decent pace. DWP on the other hand has a screaming hard to understand singer. With DWP's version, they increase the sound of instrumentals and add the lyrics in a screaming voice. It would be easier for people wholisten to screamo to understand the lyrics than it woukd be for somebody who has never heard it before. With Big Tymers version, it seems they rely on the pronunciation of the lyrics rather backup sound even though it adds a unique sound. With DWP you may realize they rely more on instrmuentals rather than how you can understand the lyrics. I believe different listeners are attracted to different genres of music and if people are bound to like DWP they would be able to understand the lyrics because they listen to other screamo bands. I understand how it would be hard for someone to not know what the singer is saying if they were not used to screamo music.
