Top 12 Signs You Are A True Hip-Hop Fan
Many wonder what differentiates a casual listener of rap music from a true hip-hop head. Well wonder no more, because here is the definitive list of what separates the men from the boys.
Let’s go:
1. You can tell when a Biggie track was recorded solely by his flow.
2. You know what EPMD, C.R.E.A.M. and BDP each stand for.
3. You thought Kanye West was a genius before he ever touched a mic.
4. You know Coolio used to live in the MAAD Circle and had a Low Profile before he entered Gangster’s Paradise.
5. You know exactly where you were on September 13th, 1996.
6. You secretly (or openly) hope Soulja Boy’s next album bricks – hard.
7. You never understood the excitement around Jay-Z’s “Ignorant Sh*t” on American Gangster – you had it two years ago off a mixtape, along with Dead Presidents III.
8. You know ODB isn’t some crazy dude – he’s a misunderstood genius.
9. You know that Common used to be Common Sense and he used to be a thug.
10. You chose a side during the Hit Squad vs Def Squad mess.
11. You’re more of a “Too Much Posse” Flavor Flav fan. You can’t watch “Flavor of Love”.
