the other is the socio economical context of the rapper’s life that people might relate to.

Interessting, you talking more about relating to the artist directly. I guess in rap it's very common for many songs to tell very personal stories, so people related to the broader story that spans the entire artists work. I haven't really consider that. Good point.

Yeah, at the end of the day, music like any form of art (and some other form of craft that might be considered art) is there to provoke some kind of emotion in the recipient.

For example there's one piece of classical music that especially touched me last year called "Prince Igor". I have no clue who made it, who interpreted it, what it's about or when or where it was written. All I know is that this particular melody resonates with me and I ended up listening to it on a loop for hours on end because it evoked a feeling of peace and joyful curiosity.

Just quoting one of my comments I made elsewhere in this thread:

There is definitely exceptions. Though guitar instrumentals don’t do it for me, even though I generally listen to the rock/metal genre.

But for example I really like violin covers by this one artist/youtuber of movie and game soundtracks (especially the Zelda games). But that’s some of the only instrumental music I listen to and only when I’m in a specific mood.

And even there I think nostalgia is doing most of the heavy lifting for me enjoying the songs.
