You can't just throw out terminology like that to explain something to someone who has already told you they don't understand rap cultureβ¦
Kayfabe is not rap culture but wrestler culture. For anyone who doesn't know what it's mean, is the make believe world that artists and fans pretend is true to keep the drama going on.
Right, so kayfabe is likeβ¦"don't break the masquerade"?
Basically, it means you stay in character at all times. If you're being enemies with someone at the time, you can't be seen being nice to them, ever, even if you're all just colleagues and the fight is for ratings.
Until you go too far and spit on a little girl's face.
Not just that, but don't acknowledge that it is a masquerade. Wrestling is "real" in that the performers and fans act like it is, even though everyone knows it isn't.
Okay, I read the thread up to here to try and understand this thing and now I realize once again that there's tons of people out there with which I don't share the slightest common interest. Or look at reality. Or anything, really.
Jeez, how is that supposed to work, living together in the same political unit. How could even a well meaning government create a set of rules and boundaries which we both can sorta feel at home in.
I don't really find my taste in music and government need to have anything to do with each other.
Yes, but this goes way beyond just taste in music apparently. This is some weird team betting excersise and score keeping and I didn't really get it but it seems to be way beyond "where do you scroll in Spotify after starting Car Play". This isn't about music apparently but about being fully invested in some kind of weird proxy war fought by questionable celebrities.
I mean, come to think about it, explains a lot why politics works these days the way it does.
There is that layer but I'm not that invested into it. I just like the music and rappers can get motivated by it.
"Some rappers are fighting" is not exactly crucial breaking news. If you don't get it you don't have to care.
But itβs a wrestling term, gottem
