    Oh That's what a hip hop head is. I thought it was just someone who loves hip hop music. I didn't know there were those "90s hip hop and underground hip hop >>>>" type of music listeners

    With don't be a hiphop head I mean, don't be a person who calls themselves someone who only listens to 'REAL HIPHOP'. Relax lol

    @Squid and @Cyreides understood what I meant and I think @Bleed was being sarcastic as well lol.

    I mean, there's no reason it can't be just someone that loves hip hop.
    I guess there are 'hip hop heads' and 'REAL hip hop heads' ...don't be a 'REAL hip hop head'

    My vision of a 'REAL hip hop head' is one that only listens to 90's-esque rap and immediately says today's music is crap without giving it an honest listen.
    I'm not trying to down the 90's and Underground fans, but I'll gladly down the ones that don't even attempt to try today's stuff before they insult it. :kanye3:

    Thanks for clarifying. I love my Era of Hip-Hop which is 90's, early 2000s more than today's. I do listen to most of today's music though, and not all of it is terrible, I have to admit though..a lot of it doesn't reach my radar for me to give it a fair listen. The stuff I have heard, like most of Thug's stuff..and all that..I'm not a fan of. I like some of Future's music, like the 56 nights album..but I don't understand the appeal of all his music, because I think most of it is terrible.. Beast Mode is good, 56 nights is great, but stuff I've heard in between.. ehhh Like I've said many times..I'm a fan of his hooks..lol Also, I like Riff Raff's music, I guess you can clarify him as "trap". If it's good, I'll listen.. if I don't find it appealing, it won't get a second play.

    Totally fair. Yea, I wasn't aiming any shade at you, don't worry lol.
    Somebody that ONLY listens to today's music and says stuff like "I've only listened to 3 Nas songs and he f---in sucks. Migos the GOAT" is just as bad as what I was talking about, but idk what word to give those people.


    ...then there's the Strange Music stans...:hehehe3:

    I also like Rittz...and Tech...and Krizz...and Murs....and Mayday!....and even some Ces Cru....and Kutt Kalhoun back in the day...
    I should just stop talking :coleshh:
    But for real, I dig their music, but (at least I hope) I'm far from stanning them.
