12684325, wait. so you're quick to extrapolate what struggle music is

but not exactly what it isn't??

real talk. most music could be interpreted as struggle out of the effort that it gets to actually put one's self out there.

even iggy azalia(sp?) for example because technically she puts herself out there everytime. struggling probably with sexual, racial, and general fuckery aimed her way while she's trying to be an artist.

so in regards to the benefit of music, struggle or otherwise. it's a point of contact. a place where others can relate to the turmoil or the joys in the inner chambers of your heart. which isn't obtuse in the slightest. part of even why the oldest negro spirituals can bring a tear to your eye because you feel/hear the hurt and internalize it.

it's easier to get a point across when you got a hook or a dope beat.
