YC The Cynic - OTL 70: YC the Cynic Excerpt #2 "Being Clever in Music" lyrics

SameOldShawn: You had, I think it was a conversation with a jazz player, and then learned something about expanding your palate a little bit YC the Cynic: Yeah, it was kinda like an argument, even though I never let him know that he won. I kept arguing with him. There was something that really stuck with me, which was just the notion that being clever isn't important just childish in music. In music, being clever is like the least thing. In music, it's about the emotional connection. Then that was my whole thing! My favorite rapper was Ca**idy, I wanted to think of new punchlines... To hear that was just like "sh**."
