Hip-hop has always been aspirational, so it makes sense that fans would want to emulate the swagger and closeness certain collections of artists seem to have (along with their monetary success and worldwide fame, natch). Whether they're hometown heroes who came up in the same neighborhood like Drake's OVO Crew, or were brought together by label execs hoping for stardom, forming and promoting a clique is just as important as releasing good music.
