The 7 Best Twitters in Music: A Definitive List
Hi! I'm David Shapiro and I run the Fuse Twitter (and @fusedavid) and obviously write on the site. I've spent a lot of my time at Fuse in front of Tweetdeck, scanning the scroll all day and picking out the best ones to put into Top 5 Tweets roundups.
Today is my last day, so I thought I'd do something a little different that's kind of the culmination of a lot of Top 5 Tweets posts: a roundup of the seven best Twitter accounts!
You'll notice that all of these accounts are rappers' accounts (plus Diplo, who hangs out with rappers), and that's because rappers have the best Twitters. They're really funny, they live dangerously and tweet about that and their audiences follow them on Twitter and they retweet great replies.
Not every artist on the list is someone whose music I personally listen to, but I love the artists that I do listen to on this list so much more because of their Twitter presences.
So here are my seven favorite Twitter accounts, in no particular order, with my favorite recent tweet(s) from them. Enjoy and thank you for reading!
Houston rapper Slim Thug tweets constantly about the minutiae of his life that you don't really associate with the lifestyle of rappers: needing to take a nap, the dangers of the Internet, how his friends would try to snatch his girl if they could, etc. Plus, he's coming out with a book called How to Survive in a Recession tomorrow, so stay on his account for recession survival tips.
