    And people who only listen to new s--- while rubbishing the old stuff is just as bad imo

    Seems like according to many you can only listen to one or the other when it's perfectly fine to listen to both and enjoy it equally.

    The only thing that bothers me on this site is that middle ground doesn't seem to be allowed no matter what subject lol.

    Tbh none of the old s--- sounds that great at all. Only 'old school' rapper that I can f--- with in 2016 is Jay Z.

    I definitely feel what you're saying..
    I find its usually one or the other (super into old school and dismissing modern, or super into modern and dismissing old school) from conversations I've had with people in my age group. Which is totally normal. But I mean, I'm only 20, born in 95, and I personally love old school hip hop. I'd like to think I've done my fair share of homework on the origins of the culture as well, and all this only makes me appreciate the current landscape even more. I feel like it doesn't have to be one or the other, and I know there has to be others (around) my age that have adopted this mentality as well.

    tbh... Drax has to be a troll. No f---ing 13 year old types/talks like you.
    also, your dust heads all dust heads. I don't have asthma but the amount of dust in this thread has sent me into a coughing fit and i can no longer breath
    tru, #real1
    Dust in here so old some of it is from the Jurassic period.

    Guaranteed when Kanye has an album full of dusty boombap Madlib beats and other rappers jump on the bandwagon, this thread will have different answers.

    Because I'd rather listen to Vanilla Ice than Future and Young Thug..

    At least Vanilla Ice's fans aren't dickheads and annoying trying to make us to listen to s-----y crap.

    this thread is terrifyingly filled with projections we should have a new section call it the box of insecurities or something and just put threads like this in it it's a very good idea imo tbh objectively speaking

    Everyone itt delusional af speaking as a youth who hangs out with only other youth, I can say with absolute certainty that kids today don't "hate" older rappers, the only backlash you'll see is people on forums getting mad at annoying a--- real hip hop heads. There's nothing malicious about enjoying your generations' sound over the previous one, that's been happening to every genre forever.
