20 Signs That Rap Blogs Are Your Reality
EDUTAINMENT By TSSCrew on June 24, 2009 at 12:20 pmWords By S. Cadet
It’s no secret that we all love music but there’s such a thing as having too much of one thing. I’m not one to talk because my internet browsing sphere is extremely limited outside of rap blogs/sites. I mean I live on the edge sometimes. I check my mail, read the news, catch up on sports and get my geek on with Engadget and Joystiq. Still rap takes a huge chunk out of my site rotation and it’s pretty sad.
So ladies and gentlemen, here’s a list of symptoms that plague regular rap blog readers. Keep in mind that these are in no particular order and if many apply you need to log the hell off and get a new hobby or something. Here we go.
1. Your punch lines are copyrighted from public figures/celebrities.
2. Jojo @ 1:50 is seared into your brain.
3. You know that “TIs” can’t be confused your favorite incarcerated rapper.
4. You hate on Bol Crawford but you read his work every day.
5. Eli Porter and T Baby are in your top ten DOA based off of comedy alone…
6. …and “Cupcakin’” is still an old favorite.
7. Your hate for Soulja Boy knows no bounds but OJ Tha Juiceman gets a fun pass.
8. You anticipate your favorite artist’s mixtapes more than his/her albums.
9. XXL’s freshman list still makes you mad…
10. …And let’s not get started on Vibe’s top rap blogs.
11. You get into a Hulk-like rage when someone likes a rapper for their “swagger” and “impact.”
12. Videos of rappers performing at The Tunnel make you long for “the good ‘ol days”…but you were too young or corny to get in the club at the time.
13. You become angry when your actual friends aren’t aware of the next internet sensation, yet you have no idea what’s on the radio.
14. The search for Cam’ron was more important to you than the search for the next Top Model, American Idol and Elizabeth Smart put together.
15. The hype behind KiD CuDi and Drake flies over your head.
16. When typing you replace “pause” with [!!] and (No!!).
17. You’re glad that your hate for Charles Hamilton was justified in the past month.
18. You think The Real is funnier than most TV shows.
19. You visit World Star Hip-Hop on purpose.
20. The Cooler is one of the highlights of your day.

yo, word
ouch. i fall into a handful of these. you tryin to say you dont want us readin no more?
OK, maybe I do need to log off.
I need to add one: You knew who Tahiry was BEFORE the last King Mag.
2, 13, 17, 20….
12 – glad to say I made the trek from Celtic country a few times to go… Classic ’90’s sh*t right there.
I’d say I rank a solid 15 out of 20 of these. But I think all of this only becomes a problem when you start doing/typing/reading them from your toilet.
Pfff… The Real is awesome. Run a check.
(everything else was mostly spot on)
–RTH
“But I think all of this only becomes a problem when you start doing/typing/reading them from your toilet”
^
Does a cell phone count?
Long Live the Cooler Chick
Thick Thursdays is Tomorrow,
LOL
Fuck that. The best blog reading is done while seating on your porcelain throne lol.
the cooler ftw
A’yo who tapped their boss lady or was considering it?
****Sips Coca-Cola****
****Reads 13****
***Spits Coca-Cola all over keyboard****
@ Bigga Word up that is my Favorite day of the week f**k Friday.
No, wait, scrap that, I meant to say, you ever taken one of those monster dumps where it feels like the weight of the world that was sitting heavy on your shoulder just eases away through your butt hole and into the toilet bowl?
I’m talking like one of them Devin The Dude sitting on the album cover type dumps, and you thinking cot dang, all that tension just got shat away!
lol #12 is so true. really doesn’t have to do with rap blogs but I was too young for the Tunnel but my friends went and I wanted to go too sooooooo bad. Wish I can go back in time, I would sneak in the club anyway!

Get a laptop for the crap drop!
“19. You visit World Star Hip-Hop on purpose.”
*Ron Browz voice*
Man, you know what I’m going to say.
13. You become angry when your actual friends aren’t aware of the next internet sensation, yet you have no idea what’s on the radio.

Guilty as charged.
19. You visit World Star Hip-Hop on purpose.
*dead
i’m guilty of some of these. so what. i still get up and go to work everyday.
…mainly for the T1 access which enables to read more of the blogs better.
TSS is major!
LMAO @ #12. real talk, fam.
and i’ll get started on #10. the judges who decided on that don’t know what the fuck they’re talkin about. but industry nepotism, under-the-table deals and deep pockets really pay off. they musta had a pile of coke, ala scarface, in the middle of their round-table discussion. they was skied up when they devised that shit.
to me, both smoking section (of course) & bol shoulda ranked waaaaay higher. TSS, top 5 dead or alive. rap radar? YN’s wife or girl works/worked at vibe, right? can’t be mad, tho… shit, why not take advantage?
i’m a renegade desperado, so i gotta rely on T&A clips like this to get me over…

That pic was specifically for you “toilet readers” who’ve often voasted about reading while holding your laptop on the shitter. Nasty bastards! lmao. Prolly don’t even wash ya hands, just puttin shit crumbs on your keyboard.
but i must say, i think nah right’s place on the list is accurate.
eskay gets mucho respect.
but i wouldn’t have been mad at TSS @ #1 either.
maybe they shoulda had a 1A & 1B, which is my answer to “g.rap or rakim” debates.
@gotty
the bathroom is my office, i conduct interviews there.
i have my secretary rip off a piece of toilet paper & hand it to me when business is done.
I think this is the last day, vote for Elle:-
http://www.valsportamerica.com/voting/
^ it is. They stretched out the voting, she told me this morn. Post forthcoming.
Strick – don’t think eskay’s slot was the question, it was some of the other placements that drew ire from folks. At the end of the day…
1. It was just another set of opinions.
2. If you weren’t no. 1, who cares lol?
http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2008/08/if-you-think-youre-lonely-now
^ never gets old.
ever.
“If you weren’t no. 1, who cares?”
LOL you’re absolutely right, gotty. that’s why you’re the boss.
indeed, there was no question about nah right. many of the others weren’t deserving of the list. some i hadn’t heard of b4 then & many weren’t even updated. there were tumbleweeds rolling across the screen.
but enuff commenting. i have work to turn in to you, gotty.

“5. Eli Porter and T Baby are in your top ten DOA based off of comedy alone…”
FTW!
I’m guilty of most, except # 7 bc I hate them both (aye!), # 12, and #19 bc the only time I see WSHH is when I accidentally click an embedded video and it takes me there. Damn sho’ ain’t no WSHH on my RSS reader.
TSS >>>> ______
easily 15 of the 20; easily
Wowwww, you kept it 100. I am guilty of most of these. SMH.
#20
Just check the name.
#13 FTW!!!
Re: 13…I had to look up “radio” on Wikipedia.
13. You become angry when your actual friends aren’t aware of the next internet sensation, yet you have no idea what’s on the radio.
this is me SOOOO bad
LMAO at all this.
Guilty as charged – 11/20, I aint as bad as some of y’all.
“8. You anticipate your favorite artist’s mixtapes more than his/her albums.”
Jesus christ tho thats just a sign of the times… most of the time the mixtapes are just BETTER than the albums…
Kind of like how TV series’ are now better than movies quality-wise…
the wire, sopranos, homicide: life on the street, generation kill, trailer park boys, breaking bad, the office, etc etc etc = better than every movie that comes out.
lol true story at this list.
I think the fact that you even know who Bol is says you’re on blogs too much.
#13 was proven when people were updating their facebook or twitter saying J.Cole > Drake.
Reading the list then reading all these response posts….is it just me or do y’all also feel like you’re home?? ( fall under like 17 of these)
…and for the record I think The Real is pretty funny. Other than that I failed this list pretty badly.
You had me at #16… [II].
Damn, I guess I need to log off. SMH @ Eli Porter. Definitely was too young for the Tunnel.
Internets Celebrities should be somewhere on this list.
