You'd have no idea what 2 chainz was saying, or the meaning of what he is saying?

Which begs the question: if you don't know what 2 chainz is going on about half the time why do you listen to him?

If you treat the voice as another instrument it can be enjoyable without making sense.

It was an example. However, he uses a lot of slang (throwing 'n into the middle of words).

Don't even get me started on MF Doom. Love that guy, no idea what he's talking about. http://rapgenius.com/Danger-doom-sofa-king-lyrics

Sometimes music transcends language - see opera & theatre, or even just gangnam style.
