    Honestly—hear me out—I don't think Lil Pump is stupid. When I stumbled upon him like a year ago I made a thread here about him and was 95% sure he was satire, because his videos, trap/drill tropes, and personality seemed too calculated to be sheer ignorance. You can tell when someone is actually stupid vs. when they're playing a character and Pump reads 50% character and 50% typical dumb teenager who doesn't know what to do with fame to me.

    Now, I'm not saying he's a genius or anything, but I think his music started as mostly satirical/for fun and then he started to gain traction and realized he was actually pretty good at making music like that and people enjoyed his character. Him and his team certainly know how to market him.

    The guy who markets himself as a "smart rapper" must be smart right?

    p much, he seems intelligent

    also major one I forgot to mention which is an obvious one is Jay-Z. He's very quick witted, uses sarcasm well in conversation and his business acumen speaks for itself

    GZA. Probably Chance. Then again Chance reminds me of the kid who would remind the teacher they forgot to collect the homework when you didn't do it. s--- I wouldn't be surprised if Chance was like that Randal kid from Recess.

    but if you think about it he always struggled without his guidance. His best album and Massacre which was pretty good were produced by Em and Dre.

    I think Kanye has to be on the list. Lupe as well. Andre. Kendrick is definitely up there. And I would say Vince Staples, too.
