somebody who get on the mic before a dj throws down and gets the crowd all pumped up and talks up the dj and shit. has the ability to transform shouting into excitement through the use of his microphone
On his "In Tune and On Time" dvd, DJ Shadow needs to knock that I'm-my-own-hype-man shit off. Nobody wants to see that weenie white dude come out on stage and act allshyboyish before his set and watch while he tries to hype up his crowd by one-by-one listing off his last ike 27 albums, giving the crowd a chance indicate that yes, indeed they had heard of and enjoyed theses albums, and also to show their enthusiam decline to an uncomfortable level, with absolutely no beat in the background.

That guy at a rap concert standing next to the rapper you came to see who yells every other word loudly when you just want to hear the damn rapper. He usually does it so the rapper doesn't run out of breath, but it really just pisses you off.
"Who's that guy who keeps yelling every other word like he thinks we can't hear him?"
1. Special Education student who "hypes" the rest of the student body for sporting events
2. Typically wheelchair bound with crazy hair this person is an iconic figure
Those guys over there were being super loud last night.
Yeah they were playing a drinking game and a wandering hype man came up and started turning up with the rest of them and they all just went nuts.
