extremely extremely unlikable people involved in hip-hop

[Mindbender Futurama]

Black Thought was THE VERY FIRST ASSHOLE I EVER MET (he's super cool now, but in 1993, not so much.) That story scarred me for years as a child.

THE FIRST rapper I ever walked up to with dreams of "just get the tape in his hand, yo", and he crushed all that fantasy bullshit with the quickness. Fought tooth and nail for that moment and was duly educated otherwise in reality. Handed him the tape after I saw one of the illest concerts (Saukrates, Ras Kass {who actually performed half of 'Nature of the Threat' live } and the Roots when they were still doing the O.G. live version of 'Hip Hop 101' with Rahzel)

I happily shook his hand, handed him a tape, showed respect to him, said "what up, i'm a big fan, thanks for everything... hope you can check this out..."

all to which he taught me my first life experience that "uh yeah, i don't HAVE TO show you ANY respect, equality, or acknowledge you in any way, shape or form as a human OR a fan."

took the tape, turned his head away, and didn't even give eye contact, "the nod", or ANY representation of human contact. Just took the tape, turned left, and peaced the fuck on out without even a "thank you for giving me something to throw into the garbage bin on the tour bus, kid... or if you're REALLY lucky, I will use your original album cassette to dub over it with anything else I like better".

I was 14 and naive, but that taught me right quick how this shit can be.
I've seen them 19 times though. No hard feelings. We've laughed together since.

but you never forget your first hip hop asshole experience

I saw him walking by when I was in line at the Cactus Club at a DP show. I just wanted to know if they'd have any shirts for sale. He called someone over to find out what kind of gear they brought, and he later found me in the crowd to let me know.
Compare that to Blockhead, who acts like a Korean liquor store owner at his merch table.

To be fair, you are a mexican. I'm way more lenient with whites and asians.

I heard your leniency is debatable.
Unless Employee exceeded the 2 Aesop Rock questions limit, there was no need for the "Hurry Up & Buy" comment.

out of all the non-underground cats i met the coolest were fat joe, raekwon, black thought & sean price.

Sean Price is cool. Same with Redman. They both pretty chill guys who crack jokes.
