Why is there such a big distortion between the real world and the IC?

[DOPEdweebz]

Aight, let me start of by saying there is a HUGE disconnect between the IC and reality. I don't know if y'all notice, but there's a problem when someone who joined a forum in December already has close to or above 5,000 posts by May/June (I've noticed a couple of these). It's like some of y'all live here and shit. There is nothing wrong with disliking any music, it is simply your perrogative. But some of you niggas that never live this place talk like you rly know what's going on in the outside world. In the outside world (where you actually meet people), people from all walks of life listen to different kinds of music.

1. For example, I go to college and being around this many white people for the first time in my life, I was rly surprised by how different they were from my earlier perceptions, especially in terms of music. Unlike what a lot of you people say here, it is not only white people who allow so-called coons in to the mainstream of rap. Most of the white friends I made were in to more lyrical forms of rap than my black friends. Whenever I ride with my black friends, I always notice most of them listen to music that "bangs in the whip" (i.e Jeezy, Roscoe Dash, Gucci, etc.). But I noticed most of my white friends were in to more lyrical rappers like Immortal Technique, Wu-Tang, Lupe etc., Why do white people get blamed when WE ourselves allow subpar rappers to get in to the mainstream? I'll never forget one day when I was having a conversation with one of my white friends about Talib Kweli and Mos Def and my black friend (A supposed hip hop expert) asked who they were.

2. Just because you listen to more lyrical forms of rap doesn't make you smarter. The rap elitists on here rly prove that they have no real lives outside of their keyboards when they act snobby as say stuff like, "The reason you don't like ______ is because he is just way over your head."

3. Nothing more funny than seeing an Internet gangster on here. Those that claim to be real thugs and get so much pussy ONLINE yet have 3,000+ posts in a 2 or 3 month period LIVE here.

4. There is no such thing as an unquestionable classic. Everybody has an opinion, but it seems here people will conform to whatever the majority says. I wonder how many of these posters on here have actually listened to "Reasonable Doubt" or "Illmatic" in their entirety.

5. Some of you guys just need to leave the keyboard alone. There is nothing wrong with disliking an artist's music, I'm a Drake fan but I understand how some people wouldn't like him because he is not as complex or lyrical as, say, Lupe Fiasco. But when you start delving in to their personal lives in order to insult them, then YOU lose, (not Nas). Let's be honest, would any of these rappers that you call perpetual losers trade their lives for yours? I think the fuck not.

6. Respect other people's opinions. Only people who don't get respect in the real world have to show how tough or smart they are ONLINE. If someone like's Wocka or Gucci (I personally can't stand them), then they like Wocka or Gucci. I understand putting them in their place if they try to say Gucci is more lyrical Mos Def or some shit like that, but respect is a two way street, Hip Hop is all of us, nobody can claim to have better taste than anyone else because music is subjective as are most things in life. Who the fuck are you to tell someone who likes to listen to a particular branch of rap that it is not real hip hop?

I'll prolly get a lot of hate in this thread, but thats ok, I'll just reply a couple of times, and go back to my life in THE REAL WORLD. Maybe some of y'all should do the same.

thread of the year so far imo and I dont post that much.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. For instance, throwing out a random album name, most people loved BP3 (How many rap albums you know can go platinum in today's Day and Age). I thought it was good, maybe a little weak lyrically, but good. Why is it that on the IC you see people talking like it's the worst thing to ever happen to hip hop? As many plays as the songs got, I don't think all y'all believe that, but I have yet to see anyone rise up and defend it. Is it just conformity?

You know what the real answer is

Jealousy

I have only seen a few posters with 4000+ and they were all MODS.

If you were expecting an online HipHop forum to be an accurate representation of real life your intelligence has to be questioned.
Dont let these guys bully you with talk about their bitches, call them out and post your bitches against their bitches and shut 'em down.

I dont normally judge people on their post-count I usually judge them on their standard of living, which is often difficult on a forum like this were imposter's can create aliases and create false-identities.....but judging them will only make the weirdo's create more aliases....

What college do you got by the way??

 

[theillestrator]

Anonymity is my answer.

It's kinda like the freaks come out at night, The cowards usually come out on forums, and what I mean by that freaks want to be around other freaks so they will not be noticed or chastised for the acts, and the same with most cowards on the internet, Most of these guys no that they spew ignorance on the net that would never come out of there mouths in what I call real life, and they can't be confronted because its the internet, cowards can't handle confrontations, confrontations are not always good, but in the case of a coward person who wants to get away with doing a bunch of sneaky stuff that needs to be confronted before it gets out of hand

C/Sign, I completely agree with you. Some of the dudes on here are out of their minds

 

[BeleeDatPleighboy]

the answer is simple.....on the IC people have the luxury of anonymity, so its very easy to talk reckless and say outrageous, downright disrespectful things to people. That gives people the fortitude to act out on this and any other online forum you may frequent....

 

[hrap-120]

hrap, how you get a sig with a pic?

Great thread t/s. Alotta niggas on here just don't like reality so they create their own through the Internet. Niggas on here who get up and go to work everyday to a REAL job know how disconnected this forum is from reality. I think the biggest divide here is between "wanna be" rappers still tryin to be signed and ppl who are just fans of the artform.

Most of the people who have a lot of posts, are posters from the GnS, and SL...two sections where it is incredibly easy to accumulate a lot of posts, in a short time span.

You seriously have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

EXACTLY! I always say: Too many rappers, not enough fans. I swear you can walk up to any group of guys where I'm from, and half the group will say they are rappers. Everyone thinks "if you like rap, then you CAN rap" - bullshit!
