No, really. I'm just being sarcastic here.
Sometimes I get so tired of majorities that I'd rather rip my own face off like Red Skull did in Captain America - The First Avenger. Stupidity, ignorance and conformity is sometimes things that mix too well together. I don't claim to be different or unique, it's just a way to generalize. I've been an avid rap listener since my very few years of elementary school and have gotten to know artists people of my age did not even know. They didn't bother, it was all Eminem and 50 Cents to them. I actually bothered digging up old school rappers (i.e. Gangstarr/MC Guru, Wu Tang Clan, Immortal Technique, etc.)
Throughout the years, I've gotten to know underground rappers before they went mainstream. A few examples are: Wiz Khalifa, Lupe Fiasco, Wale, etc. (Even rappers that never went mainstream, like Shing02.)
And recently, an acquaintance wrote on Facebook (lolfb) that he saw Lupe Fiasco leaving the stage and walking out in the crowd, without anybody knowing. At first, I wrote: 'Well damn, *****'s lucky to have seen him in person!', while thinking of when did he ever listen to rap and he replied with: 'Well, I would've preferred seeing Eminem.' And then it striked me as obvious, I had forgotten that Lupe had gotten recognition from this guy due to L@sers. Some people agreed with him and I went out of my way to taunt them and say: 'Lupe > Eminem'. I admit that I prefer Lupe, as he raps about more global stuff like the ugly truth of Society. And another acquaintance goes out of his way to write: 'Wow, I can't believe you said that. But eh, it's down to people's opinion I guess
.'
Knowing him pretty well in high school, I know that he doesn't listen to any rap other than what plays on radio, he listens to frickin' Electro Pop ****. I also know that he's a guy that likes to imply things because he's a ****ing *****. What he meant was: 'Man, you're an idiot. Your preferences in rap are ****.' But quite frankly, I'm just getting very tired of people talking like they know their **** when they don't. Not because they know ONE single album that they know the artist's discography entirely. I was an Eminem listener back in the days too and he wasn't bad. Even now he isn't bad, just terribly overrated. I don't mind people having their own opinions but some people speak out of ignorance and speak it as facts, they d**kride the most recognized artists of the moment and turn to the darkside when a switch of popularity happens. It's annoying and dumb as hell, I just wish people would thinkin' with their anus and actually use their brains.
tl;dr - I like rap and know about it. People that barely listen to even mainstream rap start talking **** like they know their stuff. And it makes me >=(
