so Tech N9ne, at times, is a fake? Nah, music doesn't have to be "real". Hip-Hop is pretty much the only genre where this shit comes up. I think its just silly really.
I don't doubt that Soulja likes to dance - I also don't doubt that he likes his own music. The issue with Soulja Boy (and with most Horrorcore rappers) is that they are crap rappers, it doesn't really have anything to do with him wanting money. He's clearly rapping to make money (something I don't think can be said about the horrorcore dudes as if they are doing it to get money they are fucking idiots) but theres nothing wrong with that. Jay-Z is rapping to get money as well - always has been. Thats not to say his stuff doesn't come out of love or that it never started out as just fun for him, but its no secret that him and Dame started the ROC in order to make money because the mainstream heads wern't giving him a deal. Also, staying with him, in a sense Jay-Z is even faker than Horrorcore, he said it himself with the lines "Truthfully / I wanna rhyme like Common Sense" suggesting he doesn't even make what he wants to make. His music may be grounded more in real life but if he's not making what he really would have liked to then surely thats faker than some lil white kid who wants to make music under the guise of a horrific character as so goes and does so (lol, I know thats a stretch of an argument but still)
It's just a sub-genre name used for clarification. It's just like the terms Crunk, G-Funk, Hyphy, Hardcore, Gangsta Rap, Emo Rap, Backpack, etc, etc.
Although I do agree with you to a point because some Horrorcore acts don't see themselves as being part of Hip-Hop, which is just short-sighted.
