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.

It’s not that difficult. When I was young I could hear a hip hop song twice and immediately memorize 90% of the lyrics.

If your entire genre is lyrics-heavy, you just get used to it.

However, it does get more difficult with age, which is why middle-aged rappers sometimes have to google to remember what they said 10 years ago.

But some people are better at it than others, and we are all usually more impressed by skills we don’t have.

For example it’s mind-boggling to me how dancers can remember their choreography. I can’t dance to save my life.
