In the lyrics of rap artists very often you can find the word hater ("hater"). Why are they so remarkable if they are mentioned in almost every rapper song? Who are haters? Who can be called that, and who not? Let's try to figure out this very interesting question.
Translated from English, a hater is a person who hates someone for some reason. The reason for hatred in this case is someone else's success, recognition, popularity and money. For many rappers, all this symbolizes success. That is, some performers have the recognition of the audience, and those who did not achieve what they were striving for, perceive someone else's success as their personal defeat. Here, in general, is the simplest explanation of who the haters are.
What does a hater do?
Basically, such people are engaged in expressing their opinions about who is more successful than him. As a rule, he does not speak openly about his hatred; he lacks the courage to do so. He registers on a thematic forum or in a chat, under some terrible nickname (for example, "BLOOD FOUNTAIN") and begin to criticize everyone and everything. However, often his comments are not substantiated.
The reason for this behavior is youthful maximalism. After all, who are haters? These are those who argue that this artist (track, style, musical direction, anything) sucks, but this is a really worthwhile thing. And there is no point in arguing with him, in this case no arguments will help. For a hater, only his opinion is true and only his words are true. Belief in your innocence and misunderstanding that there may be other opinions - these are the main components of an ordinary hater. Over time, many people stop saying something like "I'm a hater." It becomes not so important who is cool and who is not. But there are people who retain youthful maximalism even at the age of 30.
Some individuals have the unique ability to contain so much anger, hatred and envy. They can be both serious rivals and simply primitive personalities. In any case, you need to learn how to recognize haters.
What to do with such people?
In principle, it is clear who haters are, but how to behave with such envious people and haters? The perfect counteraction to their secret attacks will be complete disregard. Even if rage strangles you, be nice and calm in dealing with a hater. Do not get personal, communicate with him briefly and on business. Indeed, most often, by their behavior, they try to hide their insecurity and fear (to be misunderstood and unaccepted by the public). The worst kind of hater is a person who does not show his true attitude. In communication with you, they are extremely friendly and nice, and behind your back they will begin to discuss you (your creativity, style, etc.).
Haters have been and always will be. One must learn to distinguish criticism from envy. Sound comments make us grow and get better. And the envious people discussing you behind your back should not be paid attention. It doesn’t matter if you listen to rap, write it (or do something else) - learn to understand where criticism is and where is the hate.
