DJ Sickamore put these lists up, ways to tell you're not an '80's Baby. Apparently 80's Baby is a mentality not a matter of when you were born. Other people made their own lists saying that 80's babys sucked and I was gonna paste one but there are a bunch and they are all funny. I was born in 1982 and I think the stuff Sickamore puts up is just plain stupid and shallow.

Oh Well here's one

PART ONE of TWO

You are a crackhead..err EIGHTIES BABY IF

1) You watch FIGHT KLUB on MTV and enjoy it.

2) The idea of a rapper who doesn’t sell drugs is lame and soft, and by default a “backpacker” or a “concious rapper”.

3) You really think that Rick Ross has
connections to Bogota.

4) Your favorite artists have all appeared on Wild N Out

5) Ringtones are a legitimate “hustle”

6) You can’t knock the hustle, and any form of non-positive feedback, even if it is constructive criticism is either jealousy or hating.

7) You admire Dame Dash’s suave business skills, and the fact that he hangs out with Mick Jagger’s daughter impresses you.

8) The first mixtape you ever bought was in fact, not a tape, and also did not involve any sort of mixing, just downloaded songs put in a random order.

9) You have bought crunk juice, sizzurp or pimp juice, but not as a joke or as a move of irony, but because you were either thirsty, or up all night partying and the “energy” in the drink could help you stay awake the next day at work.

10) Being rude, obnoxious, ignorant, disrespectful and bratty are all considered good qaulities that merit encouragement and deserve to be flaunted and championed.

11) You think that you can sell dope forever.

12) You say things like “I don’t hear a single”

13) You think that Lil Wayne (or any artist with a Lil or Young in front) is a legitimate artist of the highest caliber with poignant and relevant things to tell people.

14) MTV cribs is your favorite show.

15) You “own”, “run” or are the “CEO” of a small side hustle company, but fail to realize that you are the only one who believes in the “vision” of that small side “hustle” company as being an actual legitimate organization of real business, not just an imaginary, vanity pipe dream with no office or staff.

16) You can’t even go to the grocery store without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team.

17) You feel naked without an ipod.

18) You’re too young to remember NWA and when Fifty Cent is repackaged as a solo version of NWA you really do believe he is the future.

19) You do not think Kanye West is confused.

20) You saw a Nick Cannon movie in the theatres and enjoyed it.

21) You bought 50 cents book and treated it as if it were a textbook and contained information that would help you succeed in life.

22) A woman with dark skin or nappy hair is unattractive.

23) You think biting is cool, but “swagger-jacking” isn’t cool.

24) Your favorite rapper has some sort of catchphrase or slogan that they repeat on every song.

25) Your favorite producer yells his name at the beginning of every song he does for brand recognition.

26) The “streets” dictate your opinion and choices in life, and you reference the “streets” as if it were an actual nation or country, and you were some sort of diplomat or foriegn dignitary who must consider every move with concern over how the “streets” will react, as if the “streets” were a superpower nation.

27) Ghostwriting is okay for mcs as long as they write checks

28) You own a pimp cup that you made with a bedazzler.

29) You are totally unaware of any mc from a period before 1997 whom your favorite mc stole their entire style from, and any beat from that time period is fair game for modern producers to reuse.

30) You have more than four shirts that depict either Biggie, Pac or Scarface.

31) You have more money on your wrist than in your bank account.

32) You follow the ten crack commandments like God had dictated them to Moses, even though you do not sell crack.

33) You think rap, basket ball and crackrock are the only viable ways to ever make it in the world.

34) A live show is not really as important as a video to you.

35) Your artist considers a strip club as an audience to keep in mind when making a song.

36) You don’t know who prince dejour, big lez or joe clair are so you think Mad linx is a good host.

37) You consider freestyle fridays a good opportunity for an artist to create a buzz or gain exposure.

38) You only know Xzibit for being the host of Pimp My ride.

39) Paul Wall is your favorite White Rapper.

40) You relate to Terrance Howards character in Hustle and Flow
 
21) You bought 50 cents book and treated it as if it were a textbook and contained information that would help you succeed in life.


so true, my brother's friend was actually rading a book. Like this book was
a book in the "Bible". SMH for them teens.

That whole "the streets" thing gets me too. People are always taking aboout "the streets" I never know what the f*ck they're talkinga bout, what streets, where?

I think the whole "streets" talk is just there to make 13 year old white kids think that poor black people actually give a f*ck about you so then you're more legit, whatever that means. Poverty Pimpin!
