    I really don't understand the purpose of fake tracklists. I understand all sorts of dishonest human behavior because it always has some personal goal, ego boost, sense of importance, feeling of validation, etc (for example JMG).
    But what do people who post fake tracklists have to gain? What is the end goal there? I really don't understand.

    All of those fake tracklists are anonymous and even if they weren't anonymous and the person who leaked them is right and has some insight, it's still just a bunch of song titles that tell us nothing. It's a piece of worthless information in the best case scenario.

    Can someone explain to me, in terms of human psychology, why are there fake tracklists in this universe?

    To fool people. Can you imagine how good it feels if your fake tracklists/cover that you made on mspaint in 2 minutes gets circulated by some dumb stans who really think its real. :lol6:

    Well I think a part of it has to do with ego but a bigger part of it stems from f---ers in school telling me, always in the barber shop, Chief Keef ain't bout this, Chief Keef ain't bout that, my boy a BD on f---ing Lamron and them. He, he they say that n----- don't be putting in no work SHUT THE f--- UP! Y'all n----s ain't know s---. All ya MFers talk about Chief Keef ain't no hitta Chief Keef ain't this Chief Keef a fake SHUT THE f--- UP! Ya'll don't live with that n-----! Y'all know that n----- got caught with a ratchet Shootin' at the police and s--- n----- been on probation since f---in, I don't know when!

    First of all, fans are really bored. Imagine your fav artist not having an album in 5 years. So ppl starts to discuss what to expect and s---. Most of the tracklist are the dream tracklists of the one who made 'em. Considering Shady barely gives us anything related to album, even I'm about to start makin' fake tracklists.

    I dont understand the purpose of these threads. I understand all sorts of obsessive human behavior because it always has some personal goal, ego boost, sense of importance, feeling of validation, etc (for example Big Dangerous).
    But what do people who post these threads have to gain? What is the end goal there? I really don't understand.

    All of these threads are s--- and even if they weren't s--- and the person who typed them is right and has insight, it's still just a bunch of s--- posting that tell us nothing. It's a piece of worthless information in the best case scenario.

    Some people enjoy getting creative & making cover art with it etc, and that’s fine. Concept art is cool. It’s not much of a big deal tbh, only gets annoying when people genuinely believe one is real when it has a track called some s--- like “Mixed Marshall Arts”

    They're made to try to trick people (and to get hyped in general), but most of them are laughably bad.
