After several emails and fan requests, we’ve decided to actually follow through with posting the second edition of this blog series because, let’s face it: hip-hop YouTube comments aren’t getting any less complex. This month, we take on the issue of bitches, Nicki Minaj, and self-promotion.
 

Comment found on 2 Chainz feat. Nicki Minaj - "I Luv Dem Strippers"

We all know 2Pac is the high water mark when it comes to great rapper references. And because hyperbole runs wild in YouTube comments, it doesn’t take long to find someone comparing any artist to 2Pac, regardless of if that comparison if justified or not. 
 

Comment found on Lupe Fiasco - "Bitch Bad"

There is no shortage of spam when it comes to YouTube comments, especially on rap videos. Because what better way to follow up a deep, well-rounded comment on a video than with some good ol' fashion self-promotion? 
 

Comment found on 50 Cent - "Be My Bitch"

The unfortunate downfall of a recommended videos algorithm based on the song title and genre. I guess it makes more sense to go in the other direction, but I guess that’s Lupe’s point. #deep

He should give his mom more credit, I'm pretty sure she's heard that word before in her life.
