They was getting in their top 10 bags and started debating where LL falls and then got into where Scarface falls

Joe laughed at Emmany for having AZ over Scarface. Emanny said he has AZ in his top 15

They started listing nikkas who could really rap but never get enough love: Grand Puba, Kool G Rap, Smoothe The Hustler, Trigga the Gambler, AZ, Treach, AG, Lord Finesse are some of the guys they mentioned etc...

Then Emanny got into the fact that Redman doesn't get enough 10 mentions. And Joe said if he was Redman he would feel away about the fans at Summer Jam not knowing any of Redman's slaps. He was saying how do these nikkas not know Tonight's the Night, Superman Luva, etc...and Ish was explaining that shyt was 30 years ago lol. Joe Budden said he doesn't want to talk to anybody who doesn't know Time 4 Sum Aksion.

Music nerds never understand non-music nerds. I'm in that same boat. Even when I was a kid I'd keep up on the latest. But on top of buying new CDs I was also buying classics that were mentioned in The Source. So I had BDP, Kane, Rakim, NWA, Slick Rick, PE, G Rap albums in my collection that got as much spin as the Biggie, Jay-Z albums. I was also checking for music from all the different coasts. I felt like a weirdo when I'd go talking older music to people around me.

Plus they have to consider for younger people today they have access to everything. Just keeping up with all the current music is a task much less having time to go and check for all the older shyt.

Listening to the Patreon episode

Joe admitted he lost his position at Patreon (whatever that title was that they gave him) because of the accusations women had against him.

Only thing he may lose is the Prize Picks sponsorship, maybe the patreon job if he still has that.

Im assuming he still has prizepicks since it's still at the top of the description of his most recent ep drop.

Bolded is so true. And, to an extent, I'd say music nerds don't understand other music nerds that aren't music nerds the same way they are.

For example, I've had people who are into rock look at me crazy when I say I'm not well versed in the catalog of The War on Drugs. It is what it is. When you connect with music like that, it's hard to consider that there are people that just plain don't. My lady hits me with the :gucci: quite often when I'm going off on a tangent about some shyt she's never even heard of.

I don't even have the attention span to get into like I used to. In the past I could throw on Madden and throw on an album and I'd be dissecting lyrics and all that. Now I just throw it on as background music for the most part.

My level of rap nerdom always shocks my girl. Lol the way I'm able to list the year albums dropped, remember random historical rap facts, or remember the most inconsequential rap moments always leaves her amazed.

I realized that I'm the only person in my circle that is that well versed in rap history. I have friends that know a lot, but not in the way I do. One of the reasons I was drawn to message boards because that level of rap knowledge is almost impossible to find in real life. I only met one person in my real life who was as knowledgeable as me about rap in my entire 41 years of living.

To add to your point.

I’ll explicitly add Battlerap specifically to your post and say we damn near in the same situation.

(Even tho you might’ve meant that in your post already)

I mention Battlerap in this separate post, because there are hardcore hiphop music fans that have no clue about the Battlerap culture to that degree outside of knowing surface level DVDera names.

It truly is a specific deeper level of nerdom, within Hiphop nerdom.

It’s like us Battlerap fans looking at the level of lyricism in hiphop music differently because we’re used to a higher level of lyricism in Battlerap lol.

I can’t even imagine what kinda Hiphop fan I would’ve been if I had been completely detached from it since the DVDera.

Battlerap definitely holds it down for me during the “lyrical droughts” in Hiphop music.
