To celebrate Twitter’s eighth birthday, the social media site opened up its archive for us to find our first tweet. And with the access, we did what anybody with a soul would do — look up the born-day tweets of our favorite struggle rappers.
The popular microblogging service launched a website called first-tweets.com Thursday (March 20), that allows users to search their own account or those of others to find, yes, their first tweet. “Millions of prolific tweeters have made Twitter an exciting, fun and powerful place to connect with others,” says Gabriel Stricker, Twitter’s vice president of marketing and communications. “But each of you had to start somewhere.”
The same can be said for this internet generation of weak, struggle rappers who maintain the fire of mediocrity by utilizing the social media tool. Names such as French Montana, Gudda Gudda, Kreayshawn, and others thought that by using up those 140 characters that it’d double their dollars (and tour schedules). But, the truth is, the internet and the real world collective let these suspect spitters know just how wack they are. Unless you happen to be a fan.
So, in commemorating the #FirstTweet trending topic (and to remind the sucker-rappers just how sucky they are), we went back and found the 30 first tweets from your favorite struggle wordsmiths.
We started off with that reality TV rapper who likes to put “the paws” on anything but the mic…

Lil Scrappy

No one thought it necessarily to roll out the digital red carpet for someone who gave us such forgettable hits as “P… Poppin'”.
Bubba Sparxxx

Bubba had a popular buzz in the early 2000s, but wasn’t able to transition with the times, as evident with his first tweet. Never test out the merchandise in front of the public, sir!

If Twitter is for twats, then having a marketing campaign, a budget, and a legitimate buzz is for someone successful.
Birdman

This would probably be cool had Vine been around to co-sign Baby’s first tweet. But for all we know, he could have had Mack Maine or Cortez Bryant doing all the work for him.
OJ Da Juiceman

The internet, much like in real life, proves that OJ Da Juiceman has no friends or fans.
Lil B

The Berkeley, California rapper’s internet hustle is pretty serious. But if he could put more value into his bars, maybe the rest of the world would get behind him.
Plies

The two people who favorited Plies’ first tweet was his cousin in Opa-locka, and that midget from his would-be reality TV show.
Chingy

Chingy was actually trying to tweet Lil’ Mama when he sent out his first blast (nullus), but didn’t know how the social media service worked yet.
Hell Rell

In retrospect, Hell Rell could’ve reworded his tweet and possibly saved his career.
U-God

You were even surprised that U-God had a Twitter account, let alone that someone would actually retweet him, huh?!
Vado

No one was actually waiting for this moment, but there are quite a few people who are excited that it never came to be.
Tyga
Photo: Twitter
Much of Tyga’s real life and digital-life woes have come from the fact that he’s been preoccupied with people thinking he’s real. Hmm… we wonder why that is?!
Red Cafe

Looking back, did anybody think that Hottest In Da Hood would be the standout classic it is five years later?
Lola Monroe

While this might be the one and only official Twitter profile by Wiz Khalifa‘s artist, she’ll be releasing her album through Bandcamp.
Gudda Gudda
Photo: Twitter
And when he got there he realized that he’s still the only one without a chart-topping, platinum-selling hit.
Kidd Kidd
Photo: Twitter
This tweet was actually ghostwritten by Gudda Gudda, but no one would know that because nobody cares.
Charles Hamilton

We all know what that other blast Charles had that he probably wasn’t looking forward to…
Freck Billionaire
Photo: Twitter
For those who don’t understand Philly slang, what Freck was trying to let Albert know was this, “Stop sleeping on me, I’m great!” Sadly, the world has yet to spend any time on who (or what) Freck Billionaire is.
Lil Flip

T.I. shortly came down from the throne to let Lil Flip know that he should leave Twitter to the popular rappers, and we’ve never heard from the Cloverland rapper since.
Hurricane Chris
Photo: Twitter
The “Ay Bay Bay” rapper knew his career was over and tried to dispense horoscope knowledge instead. He now works at a Crystal’s.
Soulja Boy
Photo: Twitter
Always an early adopter of new technology, SB was one of the first rappers on Twitter. If only he could have been more of an e-thugger instead of a drugger, he wouldn’t be in the predicament he’s in now.
Alfamega
Photo: Twitter
If only Alfamega would have used his, ahem, talents against the NSA instead of real people he would have been hailed as a hero… and not as an informant.
Gucci Mane
Photo: Twitter
No wiser words have ever been tweeted in the history of struggle rappers.
Canibus
Photo: Twitter
Isn’t that ironic? The rapper’s first tweet dissing a poet when he, himself, later was found reading poetry in a battle?!
Mack Maine
Photo: Twitter
Much like everything Mack Maine does, it takes a lot of time to do the most simplest things (put out an album, set up a tour, etc.).
Chief Keef
Photo: Twitter
Truth is: No one knows what this Chiraq says on or offline.
Lil Mama
Photo: Twitter
All lies, Lil Mama! Thank the Lord above that she’s realized the error of her ways and is now focused on becoming an actress.
Papoose
Photo: Twitter
While this mixtape is still only available at PapooseOnline, it has to be said that DJ Kay Slay is the one who owns and runs the site.
French Montana
Photo: Twitter
Max B would frown on this bear wearing struggle rapper trying to create worth via the internet. Coke Boyz are always in the streets, hanh!
Jibbs
Photo: Twitter
He’s still picking out those songs, as Jibbs is waiting for that upcoming Nevuary 33rd release date to arrive.
