What's the most hip hop nerd shyt you ever done?

[Gifted one]

Earlier this year when I went to Detroit. I made it my personal mission to see J. Dilla's crib plus go to his favorite record store melodies and memories. Chopped it up with the owner for several minutes and even got to put my signature on the famous yellow wall. Dilla, Qtip, Questlove, Karriem Riggins, Al Profit and many others have their signature on that wall and mine is above Eminems 2008 dated signature

I have an MPC and a Soundcloud purely as a hobby lol

 

[Turbulent]

Movie type ish

What's funny is that from what i remember, nothing really came out of that session. But thinking back, it's still a pretty cool memory from when life was so simple. I barely remembered it until i saw the thread title

I used to draw rappers

 

[Jaguar93]

Majority of coli bruhs are hiphop nerds lol.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I used to rock left to right to the beat like 3 stacks because I thought that was cooler than back and forth .



And I bought all of the random trash Wu-Tang affiliated cats' albums thinking I was on something.

In the 90s I was a rap snob

(I'm 2024 I am a rap snob)

I overlooked all the Wu affiliates, as well as stuff like the BCC second/third tier and alot of QB stuff.

Low key, it's a thrill to dig back into all that. Especially since KillArmy, Group Home, and OGC are way more fun to listen to than 90% of the shyt that came out since 2000.

Sunz of Man wasn't in my rotation whenever they came out. But I go back to that first album a few times a month now.

Especially

I had a poetry class in college. I would sometimes take a concept from a rap song and make up a BS poem hours before my class. shyt didn’t even rhyme

 

[Ashtrey]

Argue with a teacher that the Eric B and Rakim song was called Paid In Full not Pump Up The Volume.

Whole class was looking at me funny. I thought I was still on the internet

 

[Playaz Eyez]

In my wanting to be a rapper phase, I was drawing album covers and had song titles including exactly who I wanted featured on there before I wrote a single lyric. I think there was a song I had Juvenile and Canibus, and one with I-20 and Bronze Nazareth

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

Got an EPMD and Chronic shirts.

[Buckeye Fever]

The day after Jay Z brought Nas out on stage to end their beef, I was at the gas station, bumpin' the Stillmatic Intro. The car on the other side of the pump was playing Never Change. We never met each other before, but we simultaneously came from around the pump and gave each other a dap and hug. As I hugged him, I said "Hip hop is alive and well"
