Something has been bothering me lately. I've been thinking about it since i've had a lot of time to think lately. This thing is people that say they're huge rap fans, but really have no idea what they are talking about.
Now let's be honest, I've only really listened to hip hop a lot for the last two or three years. When a topic comes up that I'm not sure about, I'll be sure to let you know that I either don't know or haven't listened to that artist, or whatever the issue is. Lately, I've been noticing a lot of "fake fans" we'll call them that come out thinking that they know everything about a certain person, group, etc.
The rappers that come to mind are 2 Chainz, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Mac Miller.
2 Chainz has been rapping for like, 15 years. He started out by the name Tity Boi. He was signed under DTP. A lot of dudes out there today saying they're HUGE 2 Chainz FANS! Yet, when I ask them about Playaz Circle, they have no clue what I'm talking about. A TRU (see what I did there 2 Chainz fans) HUGE fan would know about Dolla Boy and their movement. They should know what happened to 2 Chainz back in the day. Here's a hint, it involves a gun.
Juicy J! All his "real fans" know he likes to get trippy. Blue Dream & Lean right? Well, what about Hustle Til I Die back in 2009? Better yet what about Three 6 Mafia? Name me 3 songs Three 6 Mafia did besides "Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp". Best yet, to all you huge Juicy J fans, who's his brother? Let me know before you look it up.
To all those "HUGE" Wiz Khalifa fans that suddenly showed up after "Black and Yellow" played during a commercial for the Steelers, but never listened to his older stuff before. Can you tell me some songs off of Kush and Orange Juice? How about Deal or No Deal. No? What about Prince Of The City: Welcome to Pistolvania? Still no? Thought so. I feel like half of the people that can read this post and not know about any of his original stuff done under Rostrum Records are also the same people that say he's sold out. Yes, Wiz's music has changed, but its still good.
Hey Mac Miller fans, tell me who Eazy Mac is. To all those "HUGE FANS" that twiddle their twat to "Party On Fifth Ave" and the rest of Blue Slide Park go listen to K.I.D.S. I bet you haven't before. Just because the dude's from the 'Burgh doesn't mean you can ride his dick after only knowing 6 songs by the guy. He doesn't even want that. Believe it or not, some artists would rather have real fans than fake ass ones.
Just to reiterate, I'm not saying this to people who casually listen to the music. This is just towards those jagoffs that claim to be huge fans, but really don't know anything. Listen to anything you want, just don't claim to be something that you aren't, please.
I'm Stumpy, and this is what I say. Don't like it? Let me know. Comment here or tweet at me @Ryan_LegarskyWU and tell me why.
