What is fake deep?

[Shield & Sword]

Examples? Be it a song, an album, a line...

I've been hearing this term and 'pseudo-intellectual' frequently over the past few years but haven't fully grasped its meaning and the musical output that warrants the term...

Who are the fake deep rappers?

 

[Matt504]

fake deep is in the same neighborhood as "smart dumb".

Saying basic shyt and trying to pass it off as if it's something profound.

 

[Standing on business]

Can't y'all, see that he's fake, the rap version of TD jakes
Prophesizing on your CDs and tapes
Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith?
