There are things that move the needle in pop culture. Tim Tebow mystifying everyone with his ‘Rainman’ attempts at playing quarterback in the NFL, people who keep thinking any of the Republican nominees for President won’t trip over their own feet come election time and Justin Bieber.

We dabble in a bit of “phenomenon watching” here (see Mac Miller) so letting our eyes gauze upon the fact that Hot 97 allowed Justin Bieber to shill raps over GangStarr’s “DWYCK” instead of a Christmas album doesn’t surprise us. The spectra of whether or not these freestyles of his were ghostwritten however, does.

Here, Bieber makes a reference to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off which by my estimations came out before he was even thought of but that’s fine. Most rappers these days name drop things they barely pass by in GQ or any upscale magazine and claim to have so what’s the difference? Hip-hop wants to see actual proof that he wrote said rhymes and for the good of it’s consciousness wished it’s media (read: people like us) would stop giving such things coverage.

Let’s not get confused here, Bieber for all intents and purposes can “rap” in the literal sense. It’s only serving the world as a warning that when his eventual rap/pop hybrid album does drop sometime in the near future and sells almost 2 million in the first week that we were there when the genesis occurred.
