So it’s banal. Doesn’t mean it’s trivial, if it helped make the song a hit.

Judges like to think they're great intellects so they talk like that.

Let's put it another way.

Somebody comes up with a song, "Playas Gon' Play" in 2001.

Over the next 17 years, you hear people saying "Playas gonna play" or "Playas gotta play" on TV, in the movies, in clubs, in classrooms, and on the street.

You could argue that it became part of the everyday language. That it became a banality or a platitude by being repeated so often.

But if the original song had been written by Elvis or the Beatles, this all might have happened differently.
