I'm a bit confused by such enthusiasm for JG lyrics.
Don't get me wrong I think he's a fabulous musician, I love his album (one of the best of 2005). But I still feel like he is a rather sub-par lyricist.
It's not so much the extreme repetition that happens in his song, but I feel that overall he doesn't expresses much. Maybe I'm just dense to those lyrics.
I read an interview in which he said he always wrote the music first, and then add some lyrics. He was rather dismissive himself as to his quality as a writer.
