    we're talking about the same thing. if anything, it's a hipster (although that term is now utterly meaningless too, but i get what you're saying) opinion to not have him in your top five. tupac is an all-time great musician and a full-on cultural force. he has posters in living rooms up and down the east coast of africa like f---ing bob marley. he's an icon. if you go outside--off the internet--and talk to people about rap, he's absolutely unassailable, and for good reason. this is the dumbest opinion you've ever typed on this website, and that's saying a LOT.

    interesting...

    I've never thought about adding emphasis to an insult like this with text modifiers before. I might give it a go in future

    A hipster is someone who says popular trends are too mainstream.

    That's great if you would use it to describe any race, but it's not overthinking it. Race plays into everything in the USA, by not thinking about race in terms of culture you're under-thinking it.

    ummmmmmmmmmmmm what? i'm not saying i know/care at all how you apply the term. i'm saying that it's impossible to have any discussion of rap subgenres where we kick around terms in a vacuum. their cultural context actually is their currency, and their accuracy. think of "backpack."

    "tupac is great" is perhaps the most "mainstream" rap opinion on the planet.

    hipster generally means you go out of your way not to follow trends and you like obscure things for the sake of obscurity. something being cliche and hipster at the same time is basically an oxymoron.
