hip hop head
Serious rap fan
A hip hop head is someone deeply knowledgeable about and devoted to hip hop culture—not just a casual listener but someone who knows the history, follows underground artists, and cares about authenticity.
The term signals genuine enthusiasm and expertise: I've been a hip hop head since the '90s.
Sometimes shortened to head.
