    What sort of things do you find annoying?

    1. Realness. All the gangster pretensions. You've got guys with university degree's who've been millionaires for 20 years and they're still taking about robbing people, kicking the **** out of them etc. Generally speaking the more the person talks about realness the less authentic and more hypocritical they are. Most rappers are writing fiction, not non-fiction. If they were up front about the fact they are writing about someone else, or in character then it'd be fine. Plenty of literature writers wrote about stuff they never did and did it justice. Who gives a **** if it's 'real'?

    2. Rappers who list their occupation as "grinding" or "hustling". Just say you're unemployed or a rapper or something you big twats.

    Using stupid words that stand for something e.g. GOAT (greatest of all time).

    The cliche about hip-hop being cliched. I'm sick of defending rap from people who say its nothing but blunts, bitches and gang banging, and yet never bother listening to anybody other than 50 cent or tupac.

    This is one of the funniest songs about the cliche about violence in hip-hop.

    Truth. The people who are most ignorant about hip hop always have the most stupid negative opinions.
