What are your thoughts on Sik-k's songs lyrical wise? 'Cause I feel like his fans (mostly women) only like him bc of his looks, and there's also the fact that he always uses autotune so idk
(I promise this is not hateful, I'm genuinely curious)
Hi, thanks for the question!
I love answering this because I genuinely think his music is great, and underrated by those fans who only focus on his looks! :)
imo he is a good songwriter, both for lyrics and melodies. and just songs altogether, idk what else goes into them :D he created his very own style which makes him stand out to me because there aren't many artists like that. he also celebrates his individuality with melanin handsome* or proudly not having any tattoos (lol :D).
(*there are other k-rappers who don't try to make their skin look brighter or even try to make it look darker, but most of them connect it with a bad boy/girl image, sik-k doesn't)
at the same time, he gives his many producer friends enough space to show their own style in his songs, which is not the case everywhere.
when it comes to lyrics, they're ofc not 100% politically correct, but maybe less bad than many others in hiphop. most of it is friends/party (yeah why not) or crying over his ex (admitting it was his fault, being v nice&respectful to her) or sex (maybe encouraged by fans?? it's not interesting to me but whatever xD still not disrespectful but umm appreciative?? xD as far as i've understood)
sometimes he has good or funny lines in his raps, and while his rap is good overall and he can rap really well when he has to, his songwriting overall is his true strength in my opinion. i mean his music is not always totally hiphop, so he shouldn't be judged "only" for his rap. the autotune is a style choice and by now a well-accepted effect, so it's not really worth talking about it - if you like the sound, listen, and if you don't, don't. and it's not like he said he was a great singer and that's ok, that's not what his music is about. and i don't think he uses it more than other singing rappers, everyone uses it :D
it's true that he has many female fans, but he has male fans too and is a social butterfly in khh. people wouldn't be working with him if they thought he had to talent.
as far as i know he also hasn't had any scandals and isn't problematic so that's a plus as well xD just once there was a member in his crew who did sth very bad and all the crew members, including sik-k, supported him (tried to help ig but it was wrong) until it came out and the guy left the crew.
umm yeah this turned into why-i-like-sik-k and none of the reasons are his looks so xD if you don't know him and are interested, you should take the time and listen to one of his album a few times. it took some warming up to me, but then i really loved his music! i hope you can enjoy it too :)
