It's so subjective. Some people even consider Malcom X a fake smart dude. I applaud anyone who thinks for themselves even if I disagree with them. Some of the smartest people to me are those who may not even act smart. Jay Z P-Diddy Fifty cent & TI are a few who come to mind. They may not have extensive book knowledge but they are brilliant businessmen. I have an OG neighbor who laces me with unorthodox insight. He's very intelligent but he's also kinda wacky. He's a visionary who reminds me alot of Serena and Venus Williams dad. He has trained many successful athletes in track and boxing with revolutionary techniques. He taught me about "The Spook who sat by the door" It's actually a 70's blaxploitation movie about a Black revolutionary who works in Corporate America by day and trains revolutionaries at night. He appears to be this non threatening man when in reality he is something entirely different. That's how I feel about some of these rappers. In their videos, they may appear to be ignorant but in reality they're responsible intelligent young men. Many people who label someone a pseudo intellect are usually the ones who want to be viewed as intelligent themselves. Just because you disagree with someone doesnt make them fake smart. That's just their personality. Even with that said, Nas comes close to being fake smart because he can sometimes rub me the wrong way with his opinionated arrogance.
