Hip Hop: Which category do you fall in?!
Question: A) HIP HOP HEAD- has the highest level of knowledge regarding the History, Culture, Style, Artists (past and present), Hip Hop terminology, Knows how to structure rap verses, Can freestyle at any given notice, owns all or most of the tier 1 albums from the greatest MCs, is familiar with complete ALBUMS. pretty much an expert on the topic, very avid. To u, HIP HOP is not a "hobbie", it's a lifestyle.
B) BIG FAN OF HIP HOP- Has a good amount of knowledge, but admits to not knowing everything about Hip Hop, VERY Eager to learn more.
C) SELECTIVE HIP HOP FAN- Has a small amount of Hip Hop knowledge. May own a few albums, but is really only a fan of a few select favorite artists, but doesn't really care about the Hip Hop culture as a whole.
D) FAKE HIP HOP FAN - will bump mainstream hits as they come out. Doesn't know who Rakim or KRS-1 is and doesn't care. May refer to Rakim as an "It" (lol). May pretend to be a fan to impress friends, but really knows nothing about Hip Hop

I would say I am an A- or a B+. I know a whole lot about hip hop, but any true fan is always eager to learn more.
IDK Engage me...where do I fit in?
welll...I've been told I'm an A, so I guess I am...
B 0R C.
Good question. I would say I'm between A &B. I'm still learning and researching!
EVIL YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU ARE A!! LMAO!
B
B workin toward A!
I would love to be A but there's still so much I don't know.
I'm somewhere in between c and b.
well if you want the truth i'm more of a AAAHHHHH IT'S HIP HOP BURN IT BURN IT!!! but i've been a metal-head since day one korn and the like. folks just like what they like ya know
I'm definitely C. I only listen to Jeezy and Weezy!
And I can't get enough of Mac Dre from Tha WEst!
WESTSIDE DID IT! YEEEE!
B
Probably B
a and b
i knw all 21st century hip hop
and most of old school but there is still some more i can learn in old school
B
I'm a selective hip hop fan. I'm very old school and most of my music is from the 60's and 70's. Sometimes when I hang out with my daughters a lot, they will school me on what's out there. Sometimes there are songs that are kind of catchy so they like it when we're in the car and I turn it up because it's "my song".
To tell u the truth....either A but not sure about B. I'm only 22 and know alot of hip hop album releases came out in the 80's.
C
Based on my questions and answers given, I'll let you judge.
B
and i bet u $10 some of the people on here are actually a D but jus say there like an A or somethin.
I'M C A SELECTIVE HIP-HOP FAN I DNT KNW EVERYTHANG BOUT IT BUT I DO KNW A GOOD AMOUNT OF HISTORY AN ALWAYS WILLIN 2 LEARN MORE.
Well I'd have to say I am between A and B. I am a hip hop head, but I still have a lot more to learn in regards to the history.
i think im an A/B mix
good question
B
I am somewhere in between A & B
B and C
i wish i could say an A but im a workin B tryin to come up
i'm a straight up B!!
you can ALWAYS learn more!!
im B
id like to think im a hiphop head...but according to your definitions im either a B or C...
why im not A: i cant freestyle at any given notice. i dont own that many albums. i dont know much about the HISTORY of hiphop, but i know lots about the present. and i dont live hiphop, i dont rap or dj, and im not that good of a bboy (3 of the 4 elements of hiphop, i do graff tho)
why im B:i have above average amt of knowledge of present underground/local artists. i do admit to not knowing everythign about hiphop, and i would like to learn more about it.
why im C: uhhh, im a selective hiphop fan. i dont enjoy mainstream that much (except at dances or when i feel like acting stupid). but i do care about the culture
I think that you are missing some categories. There are some people that don't care for what people feel are the "best MC's in the game" Some people love the kind of hip hop that they like and that's it but just because I don't listen to all hip hop that is considered to be the "greatest" does not mean that I don't love hip hop. And you can still know a lot about mainstream hip hop and not be a fan of all of it that is out there. I know about a lot of hip hop, but I can't stand a lot of East Coast music, I just can't stand it. I know about the music and the artists, but the do nothing for me and they have never done much for me. I like West Coast and Southern Hip Hop. But that makes me selective? Get a grip!
Used to be A
Now it's close to not a fan at all.
Rap Sux. Requires no talent.
