If you thought metal, hardcore and punk had a monopoly on gay, snobby elitists who like to spend their free time lecturing other people on why they should stop liking stuff, you were mistaken. For example, while 90s worship is relatively new thing in punk/hardcore, rap hip-hop fanboys have been gargling the 90s’ balls for years, as our bro from 100 Grand On My Wrist addresses in this excellent (and lengthy) bit called “I Hate A Tribe Called Quest”:
Shortly after that I struck up a conversation with a high schooler about rap music. He was really into theater and always tried to come off as super intelligent, to give you a feel for the type of guy he was. I told him I had bought a CD by A Tribe Called Quest, but returned it because I didn’t like it. He quickly began chiding me for that action, telling me I didn’t know anything about “real music.” I quickly began rattling off the names of my favorite rappers at the time (E-40, Spice 1, Dru Down, Brotha Lynch Hung, etc.) and he dismissed all of those artists by saying, “those type of rappers have no substance to them, just dumb raps about violence and money.” Being an 11 year old talking to a 17 year old, I just nodded and said, “yeah I guess so…” I went home that day and didn’t know what to think, did I have stupid tastes in music? Should I start listening to more ‘mature music?’ When a high schooler tells you that the music you love at the age of 11 is dumb it can really get in your head.
My god if this story were any more Tr00bonic it’d have a fattened-up Matt Damon quarantining his daughter in the movie version. And Sarge, if you’re interested in a real left-field story of people trying to out-real each other’s music/cultural tastes, I can write a post about my life as a lover of Argentine Tango (srs), a realm where white betas try to become alpha by acting like South Americans from the 20s. Hot bishes though.
thats funny, because Argentina is literally the whitest country on the planet (srs, look it up- something like 94% of their population is white)
True story. I was there and it’s funny the divisions in the populace — the more Spanish-looking folks are the ones who run the roadside newsstands/sing for change on the subway while the whiter ones stress their Italian blood and surnames. Meanwhile in North America everyone is falling over themselves to embrace the “latin passion” of the tango and brag about how they really relate to the Spanish lyrics of songs nearly 100 years old. Meanwhile I’m showing up to practices with my Malevolent Creation shirt stretched tight on the ‘ceps – no fucks given, natch.
Some of my friends are in the “Swing Dance Club” at my university. I feel your pain, bro.
I’m sure there’s a pissing contest in that sphere too, like “Cherry Poppin’ Daddys? Get that shit outta here! It’s Stray Cats or nothin’!”
huge lol
whaaa??? why no recawg netherlands, norway, sweden, and germany? I would think they be white as fuck. I concur it is the whitest of south america… stupid assholes be all uppity just cuz of their last names be ending in -iano instead of -ez …. but dem bitches can “Che” my dick anytime grrraaooooo….
Lil B is to me what Sgt. D is to IMN’s, which is to say he taught me how to enjoy hiphop without being an elitist faggot. Now I can listen to ignant rap without being a douchelord! #TYBG!

Poor guy, letting someone’s opinions get in their head. That is definitely the source for becoming an unhappy douchebag who can only spew strong opinions.
Glad he got over it.
Underground hip hop is for white boys. Straight up. The nerdiest nerds of all all time are hip hop nerds. Don’t even get me started on the ones who try to make beats and rap and shit. Fuckin’ dorks!!!
IMN’s > Hip-Hop Nerds
Had never thought that hiphopbros had to deal with IMNs (or their equivalent, IRNs, rather) too
parrying 4 u bros, please b safe. solidarity
I’m glad to see this post! Troo hip hop is boring as fuck. It goes to show that troo anything is obnoxious. And on a semi-related note from the one rap show I’ve been to, seeing white kids get made fun of for breakdancing is really awesome.
There’s a tr00 crew for every type of music, just goes to show people try to build an image of themselves through the music that they listen to. Hopefully they can focus on shit that actually matters one day :( GL tr00bros/broettes.
My favorite hip hop is definitely from the early to mid 90′s but it’s ridiculous to think that nothing good has come out since then.
I’m 30 years old and a high school teacher. I have students who are 16 who talk about how “kids these days don’t know about the real music”. I try to steer them away from being buttfrustrated about it.
You’re doing society a service.
Thank you…
you have the ability….
plz be safe =]
I wish this could be linked to every 14 year old ruining the comments section to all the rap songs I really dig. So annoying to be having a good time to a rap song and then see some prick tell everyone why the rapper should be dead and everyone who listens to him is obviously some dumb idiot.
considering I’m a former huge tr00fag, I see this kind of shit daily, even in my group of friends :/
people have literally stopped talking to me before because I’ve said I don’t give a shit about lyrics in rap. the fuck?
I actually prefer a lot of tr00 hip hop over more commercial stuff…but I’m not a dick about it because giving a fuck about what other people listen to is stupid/pointless/waste of time and energy.
Also, I fucking love Outkast, so I wouldn’t have room to talk anyways.
HATERS GONNA HATE.
I think Outkast has been canonized by the tr00 by now, right?
Outkast has been tr00 as fuck forever.

Besides, everybody knows that 80s hip hop is the tr00er than that Nas, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep bullshit.
BRB classic roland tr808 bass beats, BRB simple party songs, BRB dancable tunes, BRB not inciting murder.

underground/conscious whatever the fuck rap=indie rock hipster faggot music,same demographic,same fans.I have always hated anytime i hear some feeb talk about ” underground hip-hop you know the real shit” Im old enough to remember when the Black eyed peas used to try to play the trooo card and it makes me happy to think of what they are now and how this must bum out uptight cunts who try to act as the guardians of realness .
remember when the Black eyed peas used to try to play the trooo card
YES! so lulzy
witness a similar transition when Cee-Lo left Goodie Mob and starting making wacky pop music with Gnarls Barkley
1) ATCQ is maximally boring and overrated, the one good song they have is the cover of that bob dylan song.
2) that rant had a really good point but he definitely executed it in a butthurt way. sounds like he’s mad about people being mad about the music he likes
3) Disagree on the ASAP Rocky hate, that album goes hard!
ASAP rules.
Thanks for this Sarge! Much appreciated. Everyone stay posi and listen to music you enjoy.
are those dudes in the souls of mischief video rapping in Yosemite?
I’m glad I’ve seen the light but I just have to note that this also applies to house/electro/doofdoofcore. Every second kid down in my area of Australia thinks they’re a dj and have very strong opinions on what sub genre people should like but the only difference is that when a song becomes less popular and you hear someone playing you’re scorned for playing something ‘old’ as there is completely no room for classics. I also saw a wannabe dj rack up some comments on fb on how he thot David Guetta is a sellout etc.

I thank Jebus every day that I don’t live in the wog / leb parts of Australia for this very reason.
What about the abo parts? Pls rspnd
Lololol.
Nobody lives in the abo parts bro
that was me btw, forgot to log in!
Re-read what I wrote and now I realise why I shouldn’t write in between traffic lights in peak hour traffic.
Anywho, it’s not just the wogs/lebs (they have some hot bishes in the mix btw). Many of the ‘white’ males have adapted to the ‘decks’ and are playing fulleh siq tunes to the kids tweaking from their recreational activities. I agree on the living in that area dealio doe, getting stabbed hurts.
I actually jock the tribe to te fullest but I understand where he’s coming from on thi essay
