How do singers, especially lyrically dense rappers, memorize dozens or even triple digit number of songs?

I’m notoriously bad at memorizing lyrics so it’s mind boggling to me.

Just because you are notoriously bad at remembering them doesn’t mean that the rest of us are. I remember the lyrics for a whole lot of songs from a whole lot of different bands despite not being in a band and having no particular reason to do so. As far as I am aware of, most singers would just learn the songs by rote memorisation via just singing the songs over and over again during band practice and I would imagine that it would be even easier if you were the one to write the lyrics in the first place.

Also, it doesn’t really matter if you get the lyrics correct during a live concert if you are not lip-syncing – miming the wrong words during a lip-synced performance will only just annoy people who can lip read lol. Fans won’t really care as long as you get the chorus correct as incorrect verses can just add to the “live experience”.
