Learning About Love Through Rap:
No homo but I like a good love song. I don’t care who you are, you’ve got some love in you. Even the most bad ass OGs show love sometimes. Finding true love can be like finding a diamond in the desert, which is probably why when it’s actually found it’s expressed so passionately. Think about your friends and their experiences with love:
- Love-at-first-sight lovers
“Seriously, I think I’m in love with this girl I saw on the subway this morning. I’m going to go back everyday at the same time.”
- Superficial lovers
“Nah bro, I don’t care about her personality. As long as she looks good.”
- Crazy-in-love lovers
“Oh my god, Jennifer is so obsessed with her new boyfriend. I never see that bitch anymore.”
- Protective lovers
“Don’t even look at her!”
- Let’s-light-a-candle-and-never-let-go-of-each-other lovers
“All they do is cuddle and watch movies.”
- Blind lovers
“He cheated on her 6 times this week. What does she see in this douche?”
- Lovey-dovey lovers
“No you hang up first!”
- Chill lovers
“Nah baby it’s cool, have fun tonight.”
Alright, let’s get into this shit. Here are 9 rap songs about love that many of you may not have ever heard. These rappers express their problems, their ideal women, their love confessions, and share some love knowledge.

We’ll eat Friday’s on Fridays, and go to Sunday’s on Sundays
Drink a little liquor, maybe twist a L
Play catch and kiss, if you don’t kiss and tell
Killa Cam shows a little bit of his soft side with this one. Rather than ensuring his girl is going to
touch it, he wants to chill, spend time with his chic, take her out.
Intellectually sexy, her body is sick, her face is dope
Somethin like a eye candy photo
Hope to God the broad ain’t a ho though
The way she walks is in slow-mo
Yep, ma mind got Tee-Vo
Cudi is describing that girl you see in the club that you’ve been waiting for — the shining light, that shooting star that brights up the whole place.

I’m like a lunatic, you make me sick
You’re truly the only one who can do this to me

Destiny Child CD, song number three
She cater to me till we fall asleep
Then we wake up and we pick up where we started
Then she make a nigga breakfast sprite, orange juice, and water

Fresh out the shower, a smile and a towel
Then after an hour, she gon need another shower

Common is giving her his whole heart. He knows she’s afraid because she’s been hurt so many times, but he’s not going to hurt her. He assures her of that.
Oh yes I love her like her dad told her no man would ever love her
Oh and I better be the only man stickin' it
Lickin' it like an envelope, mailin' it, sealin' it
Read it, I have written down Victoria’s Secret
Don’t tell nobody, don’t share your body with nobody
Not even a finger, I will cut it off and let him keep it
Weezy gets lyrical here. A father often the most protective figure in a woman’s life, never wants his daughter’s heart broken. Wayne claims his love is the love that her dad told her didn’t exist. He then proceeds to explain that he is the sole man in her life, but if she happens to be unfaithful, he’s done with it. You gotta love his honesty too. I mean Wayne doesn’t love anything more than pussy, money, and weed. This must be a special chic.
I hope you all enjoyed that and maybe learned a little bit about love along the way. But shit what do I know? I don’t know what love is.
