Conceited is an American rapper from Brooklyn best known for his battling prowess and his recurring role on the MTV2 program ''Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ‘N Out''. After spending his youth splitting time between New York and South Florida, Conceited rose to prominence on the battle rap circuit in 2006, making a name for himself at Loaded Lux’s Lionz Den. But his big break came a couple of years later, after one of his battles at Da Jungle in Stockton, California, was picked up by Grind Time Now and subsequently made the rounds on WorldStarHipHop.com. “Once Grind Time came to Da Jungle and got one of Conceited’s battles on Worldstar, that’s when Conceited’s whole shit just took off,” said Stockton rap mainstay Okwerdz. “Fox really believed in Conceited, did all that he could to help push him, put him on, and it really worked.” Grind Time then put Conceited up against 2004 Scribble Jam champion and two-time World Rap Championships winner Illmaculate, and Conceited’s performance — one that most considered a convincing victory — instantly catapulted him to stardom. “That right there gave me the leap,” Conceited stated. After a run of even more impressive battle performances on the Grind Time and Ultimate Rap League platforms, Conceited became one of the most widely viewed battle rappers on the Internet, and his talents caught the eye of Nick Cannon, who added him to the cast of MTV2’s ''Wild ‘N Out'' in 2013. Conceited remains a popular figure on the battle circuit, appearing on all three of battle rap’s “major” platforms (King of the Dot, URL, Don’t Flop) in recent years as well as on Got Beef? in Australia. His battle against Dumbfoundead at King of the Dot’s Blackout 5 event in Toronto is far and away the most viewed battle of 2015, garnering more than 2.6 million views in less than six months. Along with his manager and business partner, Kenneth Martin, Conceited has launched his latest venture Battle Box Networks LLC., a social development network centered on battle culture. 〔http://www.mtv.com/celebrity/conceited/#cast=nick_cannon_wildnout〕 〔http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2013/06/meet-the-new-cast-of-nick-cannons-old-show-wild-n-out/〕 〔http://videos.huffingtonpost.com/nick-cannon-and-conceited-freestyle-battle-on-huffpost-live-517849579〕 〔http://remotecontrol.mtv.com/2013/09/23/conceited-wild-n-out-wildstyle-sneak-peek/〕 〔http://www.vladtv.com/article/214262/conceited-the-groupies-i-get-are-20x-better-now-that-im-on-tv〕 〔http://www.nicekicks.com/2015/06/15/ask-a-sneakerhead-conceited/〕 〔http://www.sneakerwatch.com/article/030840/conceited-reveals-plans-for-jordans-biggest-release-of-2015/〕 __INDEX__ ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conceited (rapper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
