i swear this is it from what i see first hand. especially all the girls and nerds i grew up with lolol. it gave them edge at the time, something to latch on to
I stopped after Nipsey got killed.
I was already souring on the genre, particularly because I felt algorithms were killing regionalism in hip hop. I feel like everyone uses the same slang now, carries the same image, and the listeners are all being shepherded into the same shyt.

Been listening to a lot of 90s house.
I’m gonna seek out some shyt but I tried to hear that Mach Hommy universally acclaimed album and it wasn’t for me.
And wussup with Westside Gunn’s voice? Is he she trying to sound like a female version of Ghostface?

nah i still listen to rap. i need different music for different moods
it's 3:30 am. i'm bout to vape and listen to Solo by Future, then some cuts from the latest Billy Woods album. Then Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes and after that prolly some songs by the indie band Low. (R.I.P. Mimi Parker).
been listening to a lot of ambient music lately. great music for reading. jazz is lit right now too, especially UK jazz. I been running back this album Spaces 1.8 from Nala Sinephro that came out last year.

A lot.
Hell, I just finished listening to a UK hip hop podcast. Be listening to rappers from Australia (not iggy) nshyt.
The radio aint played my "style" of hip hop in almost 15 years.
It aint making music execs rich, but my style of hip hop thriving thriving.
Edit: I say "not iggy", but I was a HUGE fan before she signed to a major. The message board before this one i was reppin her like Gator Reloaded reps Bad Bunny lol

Rap is probably like 10% of my overall music consumption now, and I'm somebody whose been obsessed with rap since I was 10.
I've grown as a person so even the profanity (especially the Nword) in most rap songs I can't deal with anymore. I prefer my music profanity free.
Not trying to offend anyone but I don't see how any grown person can still have the same music taste as they did as a teenager.
Not saying you cant listen to rap generally speaking, but if some of the content doesn't make you go
then I assume you never grew mentally or spiritually as a person.
Especially as a black person, hearing rap about killing each other SHOULDN'T sit well with you no matter how much of a rap head you are.

imagine calling this trash
Music like this is what pulls me back occasionally. Can't go wrong with a Nas record. Not gonna lie I listened to a bit of hip hop projects this year; Kendrick, Earl, pusha t, Lupe, Marciano... But in general I'd rather listen to straight Jazz or even instrumental hip hop and boom bap

Growing up listening to a wide range of music is very helpful to me now. I still listen to rap but I do have full days of no rap.

The older I get, the less I find myself listening to it. Even the older stuff from the nineties when rap artists actually had pride in the product they were making (despite the rampant perpetuation of stereotypes) is beginning to sound increasingly hollow and soulless to me.
I checked out Westside Gunn's latest album a couple days after it dropped and listened to it in one sitting. While I think it's a solid project, hearing a 40 year-old man brag about designer clothes and violence for the umpteenth time is becoming less chuckle-worthy and leaning more towards making my eyes roll.
