Why almost every young rapper is called "Lil"
Why almost every young rapper is called "Lil"
Like, seriously, why? Are they allergic to have their own brand or something?
It's a continuation of street names. Those were names for people on the block. "oh him? that's lil turk". Just made its way to the rap game.
43Is there still some that use it because all the others did? Copycat style just to fit in and feel legit to unknowing listeners?

15That started with iMac in 1998, and the i stood for internet.

i assume causes they dont have their bigboy rapper pants on just yet. they leave it open to drop the 'lil' once they make it big and rebrand.
Rap is my preferred genre of music, and im just shooting in the dark here.
