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

Question

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

Answer 1

They don’t necessarily have all of them memorized simultaneously. You only need to know all the lyrics for the 15-20 songs you’re performing on your current tour. I’ve seen plenty of artists talking about having re-learn older songs in advance on concerts. I honestly expect that a good chunk of artists that have more than like 4 albums don’t have all of their songs memorized
