Has your lack of HipHop knowledge ever embarrassed the **** out of you?

Be honest here brehs, nobody knows it all and those who seem like they might, were ignorant at one point. :truuuu:

I try to be aware of everything culture wise from the golden era to th e digital one but one time i got my biscuits sorely burned for being ignorant.

A chick a worked with a few years ago (i was 21) was one of those older white people that were heads in the 80s and got stuck there. she had an elvira look to her and i didn't expect her to like rap at all. i had no idea she liked rap because it didn't come up and she didn't fit the profile. sorta like joaquin :stillhere?:

we worked in a costume store and the first day on the job she was saying to me "you know you'd REALLY look good in a rope necklace". that shyt bothered the fukk out of me.

i held that shyt with me all day like...should i tell my manager or confront this lady. then i brought it up to my homeboy that i came up rappin with he was like "nikka!" :beli: and then pointed to the big daddy kane poster on his wall.

needless to say i was :why?: for being such an ass but i got over it and kept on digging for more hiphop. shyt was hella embarrassing! :facepalm:

glad i didn't take action against her :whew:

No.

I've honestly never met anyone in purpose with a superior hip-hop knowledge than my own. If I were to eventually run into that person, there's a talent in swerving conversations where you're out of your depth. Gotta pick those battles wisely.

Different type of jawn, but I met this cac who was actually real cool and wasn't corny when it came to hip-hop. :to: We lost touch n/h, but it was so cool to meet someone who was real open when it came to hip-hop and you could have a long drawn out convo about all kinds of shyt.

:wow: He was like a Booth poster minus the Nas/Camel stannery

Only person who ever really catches me slippin' on my Hip-Hop knowledge is my dad(and I guess my uncles/my godfather) since he(they) been DJing since the 70's. Used to just quiz me on random hip-hop shyt. I'm no know it all or anything, but I like to think I've got a decent amount of knowledge on Hip-Hop.

No matter how many times I've been through that man's vinyl collection and record pools, he still manages to school me on some shyt I never heard/knew before. Even now at 22 he'll drop gems of dope knowledge on me.
