The "Hater" is probably the easiest and most frequent target in all of hip hop music. Seems like almost every album has the generic song dedicated to the "Haters" where the artist begs and pleads these unknown figures to stop hating on them all while simultaneously saying that the "hater's can't fade me, son"...so then why the f*ck do you keep talking about them...and who the f*ck are they? And if you think i'm overreacting, I did a search for "Hater" on iTunes and it produced a list of 200 songs with the word "Hater" in the title. Note that I didn't search for "Hate" "Hating", or even "Hataz".
Examples of Hater Songs:
Hi Hater - Maino
Hate Me Now - Nas
Hate - Jay-Z
Some People Hate - Jay-Z
Hate on Me - Jill Scott
Playa Hata - Luniz
I am convinced that most of these "Haters" that everybody with a record deal refers to, probably do not exist. Reason being, that when you are in a business where arrogance is celebrated and humility is interpreted as a weakness, you need haters to validate how successful you are. And even if you don't have any Haters, you have to create them. I also believe that people who obsess over haters are so self absorbed that they misinterpret things like criticism and advice as "Hate" even if those so-called Haters are speaking in their best interest. So The Question I have is; How many of you poor victims of those mean ol' Haters actually sat back and asked yourself if the Haters are telling the truth? My guess is that in many situations, some of them might actually be telling you some sh!t that you need to hear but don't want to hear at the time. And since you don't want to hear the truth, it's easy to just brush everything off as "Hate". THen you empower, justify and validate the haters by complaining about them all of the damn time.
I think that Katt Williams summed up the Hate Debate with such genius that it should have ended the trend of Hater SOngs forever...
Preach, Brotha Katt!!!
However, I believe that many people who don't even have haters took his advice about collecting haters to another level and actually started Fabricating them. So let's stop making hater songs, because if you REALLY don't care about them, you wouldn't address them. and if you really do need them to validate your success, then rap about how much you need them and how about instead of calling them "Haters" you call them what they really are...your Fans.

Some rappers rightfully have cause to believe they have haters... there's def. folks out there who have no other thing in their lives but the ability to kick dirt on others' names...
But yeah, there's a lot of rappers (and people in general) who fabricate haters. I know from personal experience that a lot of rap niggas are just so sensitive that they can't take it when muhfukkas are generally not feelin' their shit... and suddenly it becomes "they hatin'". Nah bruh, they ain't hatin'... they just don't like you.
-D!
the game is so saturated with garbage that "You're a hater" is their main line of defense..You're not even allowed to call a spade a spade because if you point out something is terrible "you're just hating." see through...notice who the rappers who have all the "haters" are..self explanatory
