My posting sponsors, the defunct (or de-funkay) Rap Snacks brand potato treats have commissioned me to make you all a list full of little known facts about the hip hop, Rap and Air BnB world to enrich your dumb lives full of vidoe games and jerkin it to animes.

1.) If you are getting in to the rap game and wish to use a canine inspired name, you have to get approval from Snoop Dogg : If he likes you, he lets you have a dog name, if not, you get named after a kitty cat or a menial labor job, thus explaining Tyga, Usher and Snoops loss of confidence in himself for a little bit when he renamed himself Snoop Lion , as it was a cry for help.

2.) The Rap Game was in fact completely inspired by Robin Hood: This explains all the references to crime, shooting, people with the prefix "Lil" and all those references to the Hood.

3.) The first Rapper was Debbie Harry of Blondie: The Blondie song Rapture was the first song to reach the top 40 with a rap in it, so had it not been for her you guys pretending to care about minorities would still be telling everyone how much you like mariachi to show your support of brown folks

4.) Eminem is an Estonian made Robot programmed by Hal Needham to replace Burt Reynolds: Turns out Hal is a poo poo programmer and it became an autistic rap-bot that hates women

5.) DMX can absorb the sins and crimes of others and absolve them in the eyes of the law and the Lord: Turns out Jesus is black and he's fuckin ripped

6.) Nas only became a rapper to try and get his demo to Manheim Steamroller: He mailed the tape to the wrong address

7.) Kanye West killed Rosa Parks: No one knows why, just Kanye bein Kanye we guess

8.) Suge Knight is actually the kindest person in Rapping: There's a cabal dead set on ruining him because they're jealous of all the generous things he's done

9.) MLB Great Nolan Ryan only knew two pitches and can't name a single Rapper: Thats why he never gets name dropped in any cool raps

10.) Dr. Dre and Jay Z are currently at war over who gets to run the Official Hip Hop Star Citizen guild: Most are suggesting Dave Chappelle gets control as a compromise, but both men are acting like assholes about it

Misheard lyrics
Biggie Smalls' smash-hit "Going Back To Cali" does not refer to California, but rather to Cauliflower, a reference to a weight loss plan Big adopted to fight dietary problems that plagued his career and ultimately caused his early death.

An understandable misconception. While Debbie the first to reach the top 40, rap in fact derives from the long-running British children's science fiction show, Doctor Who. Jon Pertwee's "Who Is The Doctor" was first released in 1972, predating Blondie's track by eight years.

I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Earl Sweatshirt did not invent the sweatshirt but merely provided the funding for its research and development.

Jostein Osterholt and Patrick Sivertsen were Norwegian best friends who attempted to try out for black metal band Mayhem but were rejected because Varg Vikernes is a huge racist who thinks black people shouldn't play black metal. They were so repulsed by that incident that they moved to Memphis, assumed the names Juicy J and DJ Paul, respectively, and applied Mayhem's lyrical themes to southern rap, catapulting themselves to rap superstardom and Academy Awards in the process.

The late Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB for short) was originally going to call himself Ol' Clean Dude (OCD for short), as his intense fear of germs and of human contact in general caused him to repeatedly wash his hands and take numerous showers several times a day. However, he was ultimately persuaded to adopt a "dirtier" name and persona in order to better fit the image his rap group wished to present.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Many people know that Lady Sovereign was the first British rapper signed to Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella record label, and subsequently became one of the first openly-gay rappers when she came out a few years later. What people don't know: she's not actually a woman, or gay, but is in fact a delicately-constructed, interlocking system of clockwork designed and built in secret by famed Swiss watchmaker Breitling.

Amazing Facts About the Rat

Rats take care of injured and sick rats in their group.

Without companionship rats tend to become lonely and depressed.

Rats have excellent memories. Once they learn a navigation route, they won't forget it.

When happy, rats have been observed to chatter or grind their teeth. This is often accompanied by vibrating eyes.

Rats make happy laughter sounds when they play.

Rats succumb to peer-pressure, just like humans. Brown rats are prone to disregard personal experiences in order to copy the behaviour of their peers. The urge to conform is so strong that they will even choose to eat unpalatable food if they are in the company of other rats who are eating it.

Although very curious animals, rats are also shy, and prefer to run away than confront a potential threat.

Rats are extremely clean animals, spending several hours every day grooming themselves and their group members. They are less likely than cats or dogs to catch and transmit parasites and viruses.

A rat can go longer than a camel without having a drink of water.

Rats' tails help them to balance, communicate and regulate their body temperature.

The classic rap song "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" was originally conceived not as an anti-cocaine message song, as popular legend has it; rather, it was intended to be a plea to then-NYC mayor Ed Koch not to waste taxpayer money on repainting the street markings (the titular "white lines" of the song), as the majority of NYC residents felt the lines were already perfectly visible and did not need further attention. The song's plea fell on deaf ears, however, and so the lyrics were reworked in order to make the song more commercially viable outside of the Five Boroughs.

The late, great Notorious B.I.G. was actually only few inches shy of legally being a "little person", and actually of a very slight, lean build. The name, acquired on the mean streets of his native Brooklyn, was ironic.

Rappers are only allowed to decline a rap battle challenge once per album release. As a result, some lyrically challenged rappers have amassed a tactical armament of many hundred unreleased albums, which they can drop as necessary to acquire another "out".
