Rappers are known for massive egos and bragging but, in this age of indifferrent hype, real fans have a lot of power. We elevate artists and they elevate us.
We benefit when people represent our culture favorably and they can become a social common-ground.
The merch we wear can communicate who we are and connect us on a scale we may not reach with our own notoriety.
The musical entertainment we get is beyond deserving of the streaming click.
It's always tempting to have reservations due to things we would change about an act or platform so being a passionate fan of someone or something doesn't happen by accident. It's a choice. And it may seem selfless or submissive, but committing yourself to supporting someone else can give you more swag and be a lot of fun. Go be a real fan.
