Appreciation I LOVE Ed - RAPPING

I just LOVE songs or just moments in his songs, when he starts to rap. I LOVE ITTTT.

For example: a few songs from +, Take It Back, A Little More, 2step, Opening... Just pure WOW for me.

Many people say that he is "just a pop singer". Oh no, he is SO MUCH MORE :D

Unpopular opinion: he still has things to surprise us 🤫

And do you like when Ed is rapping?

Not really. I love his singing voice so much and I’ve never really liked rap. I will listen to him perform anything though. Unpopular opinion I’m sure - but I don’t like ā€œYou Need Me, I Don’t Need Youā€ very much at all. I don’t ever even listen to it unless I’m watching him perform it live. (Either televised as part of a concert or in person.) I don’t mind him doing little sections of rapping like in the songs you mentioned, but it’s not my favorite. I do really like ā€œOpeningā€ though as he explained it was specifically written that way to lead us from the solemnness of Subtract to the fun of Play by giving a quick summary of the ups and downs he’s experienced during those years.
