1. I did enjoy the songs Pandora picked for because they choose songs that had the same fast but slow Christian rap I really enjoy.

2. Rap Roots was the most common feature.

3. Yes, they had the meaningful words and still had an upbeat sound to it.

4. I think vamping was one of the terminology we went over and it had a lot of that in just about every song.
