It's still kind of wild you actively post on a rap forum, but out touch with rappers who've been on the scene 10 years
I had an idiot here tell me I must be white because I don't listen to rich homie quan

At this point in my life (I’m 33) it’s a whole generation of rappers if someone told me to name 3 songs from (Lil Baby, Playboy Carti, Uzi Vert, NBA Youngboy, Meg the Stallion, Cardi B, so on and so forth) I wouldn’t be able to. And none of those folks are new at all.
I see what time it is and am not trying to outrun my so-called
. Some shyt I’m just not keeping up with and don’t care to at this point (the quality sucks for one). I got too much other shyt going on.

it's not cool to know any old rappers if you are young
it's not cool to like anything new if you are old
there are a lot of people who only care about what's hot
rap sucks like that.

What exactly is "out of touch" tho?
Out of touch with who?
If you're 30+ , who exactly are you trying to stay in touch with?
Hell, even if you're 20 are you keeping your ears to the streets to the latest cartoons the 10 year olds are watching so you won't be "out of touch"?
Who exactly are these people we're trying to stay in touch with by keeping up with random rappers?
Questions that need answers.

The problem isn't not knowing a rapper, the problem is parading around like it's a badge of honor. Just Google the nikka so you can keep up with the topic instead of derailing shyt.
How are you defining “on the scene”? Are you supposed to know every C or D list rapper and their catalogues?

How could u not know who any rapper is???
U have LiveMixtapes and other sites spamming these new rappers.
DJ Akademiks who is the rap game Harvey Levin dropping these cats on YouTube, I didn't even know who 6ix9ine was until he paraded him around.
Same goes for most of the Chiraq rappers.
I didn't even know who Lil Jay, Tray Savage, Katie Got Bandz, Edai600, Cdai600, Bosstop, Lil Herb(G-Herbo), Lil Bibby, and Lil Pappy were until he made the War In Chiraq series.
My homeboy even put me onto King Von and OTF Nunu back in 2014

Crazy because my introduction to Uzi was listening to Slime Season 2 by Young Thug.
As far as Bad Bunny goes, I heard his name back when Cardi had her album but I never bothered to play any of his music. He reminds of Daddy Yankee
