I see you guys are discussing about Exodus and TiTO, and in my opinion, Exodus is one of the best english albums ever.
Man, the lyrics are pure fun, and I didn't understand the point of "having a proper command of english language", I mean, to make songs like "Stupid Hoe", "Alejandro" and "Womanizer" (just to cite a few) you don't really need to have great knowledge of english. (But I like those songs, except for SH)
Don't compare the lyrics of english songs from 80s or 90s to what we have now, and lyric-wise I think Hikki did a very good job on Exodus. We don't see people that often singing about the life of a aging prostitute or how to teach a guy how to get down in the club.
TiTO was a regular american album. You can't say it's generic or stuff because I can imagine Mariah Carey or Rihanna singing those songs easily, and if they did people would probably call them masterpieces.
And, in the end, I love all her stuff (with exceptions) but I can't understand some songs, like traveling for example.
Wonder 'bout, Hotel Lobby and Tippy Toe will remain in my top 10 english songs forever.
