    without breaking Kayfabe

    You can’t just throw out terminology like that to explain something to someone who has already told you they don’t understand rap culture

    • Kayfabe is not rap culture but wrestler culture. For anyone who doesn’t know what it’s mean, is the make believe world that artists and fans pretend is true to keep the drama going on.

        Right, so kayfabe is like…“don’t break the masquerade”?

          Basically, it means you stay in character at all times. If you’re being enemies with someone at the time, you can’t be seen being nice to them, ever, even if you’re all just colleagues and the fight is for ratings.

          Not just that, but don’t acknowledge that it is a masquerade. Wrestling is “real” in that the performers and fans act like it is, even though everyone knows it isn’t.

          I don’t really find my taste in music and government need to have anything to do with each other.
