Frederick - "Im Not A Rapper" face ass

When you watch the video “The Rap Battle”, one thing is painfully obvious from the beginning. Supa Hot Fire was going to win. I see situations like this every day and it’s shocking to see how many people follow others, and the extent to which they do so. In the video, the rapper Supa Hot Fire is a terrible rapper with absolutely nothing to say, but his charisma or swagger if you will, allows him to lead a pack of loud boys, prone to praise his lyricism regardless of skill. Why? Because you don’t bite the hand that’s feeds you.

When I look at groups of people like this in real life, I know the only reason they deal with or follow people like Supa Hot is because they have no way of their own. With their fearless leader telling them what the plan is or how things are going to be, they have nothing to do, they become aimless dolls waiting to have their stings pulled by the next puppet master to come along. Going back to the video, the boys don’t even give the other rapper a chance to defend himself because they are conditioned to only obey their master’s call, to respond only to his lyrics. I think this happens because as long as their leader is considered hot, the whole group receives a type of prestige as they follow the hottest rapper around.

In the book “They poured fire on us from the sky”, the Dinka people are given the ultimatum to convert to Islam or be slaughtered. The Dinka being the strong group of people they are chose to keep their faith and oppose the Arab invaders. They are true leaders, bowing to no one even after losing everything and being driven into the open mouths of the waiting lions, hyenas and hostile tribes. Conformity is a disorder not treated and running rampant all over the world. Take religion, wars and even music. Some people are forced to claim a religion by the masses of fanatics surrounding them under threat of persecution or even death, while other people are forced to fight wars for reasons that have nothing to neither do with nor benefit them.

It’s a little easier to see conformity in music, just look at the pop charts. People don’t even have musical opinions anymore. Questions like who’s your favorite artist are answered with “I don’t know, dub step” and other cop out, semi moronic responses. Woe is me.
