What does it mean to be a "real" rapper
People throw around the word like it is clearly defined. But what exactly does that mean
I was over at a buddy's house and we were vaping
"Drake is the realest nigga in the rap game"
I am sitting there like "wat?"

Drake? From Degrassi haha! he's not what people would call a real rapper. A "real" rapper could mean many different things to people, but the general term would be accepted as a rapper who actually lives the life they talk about and NOT rapping about bitches money and weed all the time.

Being a real rapper = Actually having some semblance of truth in your lyrics when talking about slingin' the ave, pushin' weight, living in ghetto, etc. Also, being a real rapper means that you can actually rap, and are not overproduced by old ass 50-60-year-old jews.
Example of real rapper:

Why is it so hard to put a definition to a "real" rapper or "real" person? Somebody who puts on a fake image.. rapping about bugattis maseratis, and they really drive a corola; or rapping about pushing pounds of yayo across state lines and they've never touched the stuff..
Edit: This whole album is a masterpiece^^

It's an imaginary and rather oxmoronic quality made up by wannabe try-hard thugs to distinguish themselves from their peers.
You see they recognize how absolutely retarded each other look and sound as they project this packaged image that they all subscribe to, but they also know that they look and sound the same exact way, so by necessity they have to fall back on the imaginary quality of "real" to explain how the other people from their subculture can look and sound so retarded but they do not. Of course they do too, but they're not in a stage yet where they can see that.
Later, after they have convinced themselves that they are the realest ever and that everyone is fake, it becomes an artifact of confirmation bias. "Shit Cuddy, I knew D-Tron wadn't no real n*gga so of course he dead from the syrup."
"Real" must always remain qualitative and not quantitative or it will blow the whole thing, we know that Drake is not from the streets and that Lil Wayne was really a valedictorian in highschool, definitely not a blood. Rick Ross was a corrections officer who hijacked a famous convict's name and trade, but still they talk about how real they are in songs and other rappers still come on their songs and rap about how they don't associate with fake rappers. If backed into a corner, "real" is no longer referring to reputation as a drug dealer or gang banger, but suddenly refers to rapping talent.
TL;DR - Real means fake. If you have to tell people you are real, you are not.

Yeah that's about what I figured. I didn't know specifics for him, but that sounds just about spot on.
Realest = Most calculated appeal to the intended demographic and above average sales numbers? Best projection of the gangsta image? Best ability to spit from the dome? No. Realest = shameless, meaningless self promotion.
