Posing as what though? That's the saddest part. All the "big artists who get popular" are posing as narcissistic stereotypes, real pieces of shit. Why are labels paying to have these types of songs and artists be the core of hiphop culture? Oh wait...

The reason I know it's not 100% fake is because a few legitimate geniuses with incredible talent and musical ability slip through the cracks. People like Kanye. But as a general rule, the whole scene is cooked.
