French hip-hop, in particular is great to listen to...it just drips with attitude, but I don't understand a word of it, and I think I enjoy it more, for that reason...

I never hear meaning in a song's lyrics unless I read them. Vocal lines are like an instrument which changes timbre every note/sound. I hear the music not the meaning. That's why I listen to a lot of music in languages I don't speak; it saves me the frustration of trying to understand the lyrics and my inevitable self-pity that I cannot! :) @#47 aloisius & #50 jaytkay

I believe the most you can say is that this is what it sounds like to Italian speakers. Speakers of a different language might notice other features of English, and to them it might sound completely different.

Just a pity that his songs are in Italian so that most English speaking people are not aware of what he says, but I can guarantee you that whatever he says in his songs is 10-15 years ahead and that it always became true. I consider Adriano a sort of genius.
