I get that, I just tend to always associate human behavior characteristics with MCs these days because I tend to pick who I want to entertain me based on their ability to function as humans as much as talent. And MCs always have a way of displaying this really well.
Case in point, a lot of people made fun of Flocka because before he became popular, Brick Squad was like... His brothers/cousins, OJ and Gucci. Then while Gucci's in jail and OJ's in limbo, the dude goes across America adopting random street rappers left and right from almost every city and state. The talent of these people was... variable, but he clearly was just concerned with putting on as many people as possible, for whatever alternate gains (maybe they paid to get in? maybe he wanted a national network of rappers affiliated with his brand? maybe he's just a nice guy?).
Unfortunately, now he's kind of not very sociable because his cousin got murdered, and instead he focuses on trying to establish his 'celebrity' outside of rap. Nowadays he'll ditch those same people he was fond of earlier for more safe characters (hipsters, EDM people). Can't necessarily blame him, but it's a bad look for anyone who thought Flocka was going to help them achieve some fame and success beyond their local area.
Nowadays, Gucci's perceived as this sort of trendsetting A&R the way 1017 is more or less pushing very popular rappers. But these are guys with buzz that Gucci latches onto. So is he a gatekeeper in how he tells a greater audience: "Here's Migos/Young Thug guys! You'll like it!" or is he trying to be like "These are my cool young friends, I'm still hip!" because to me, Flocka's way of just saying "These are my friends man, you should like them if you like me." is more of an idealized gatekeeping.
Personally I like exposing my friends to contrasting friends, because I get spiraling with my disparate relationships and I feel "Well, let me be the interzona and maybe these two individuals I really like will get along." Won't always work, but hey.
