Well, I've grown up with rap/hip-hop & I've been listening to it since '86 (the Run DMC/Aerosmith joint got me started!) ...so that'salready 23 years deep in the game!!
Yes, I'll still listen to the music I grew up on in the late 80s -early 90s ...the same as I do now. But like others have said, I don't reallylisten to much of this recent stuff that's out nowadays, so I doubt I'll be listening to whatever hip-hop is out in 2017.
But yeah, I will be old-skool hip-hoppin' till I die

Yup just like the old folks nowadays still listen to all the old rock and roll +!!$ like they did when they were younger. Or even the older peoplewith their Jazz.
Mad people critisize rap and say its not real music or some +!!$ but in reality it CLEARLY is an art form and IMO requires more skill than anything else. Youdont just need to have a good voice like you do to sing but you gotta be able to think of rhymes and know how to flow alot of +!!$ involved in hip-hop. And inreality EVERY form of music was criticized when it first started to get big.

I'll still spin some of the classic stuff I listened to when I was younger. Honestly though, I haven't really checked for any new hip hop in aboutthree years and as I'm delving deeper and deeper into other genres of music, hip-hop/rap is getting less and less attractive. Simplistic rhyme patternsover cookie-cutter beats no longer hold my interest. Witty punchline metaphors are hardly as
as they were a few years ago. Oh yeah, not to mention theoverall lyrical content of rap just feels extremely limited. Exactly how many different ways can you rap about the same topics before people lose interest?Hearing a guy talk about how much cooler, richer, more hood than the next man get's real old. Since hip-hop/rap from today bears little resemblance to thatof a few years back, I honestly don't see it existing in the near future, at least not as the music I grew up listening to.

My dad is 46 and still listens to hip-hop and rap. He grew up in NYC when it started so it is a part of his life. I'll listen to it as well but onlycertain artists.

Look here...my mom died at 55 as a hip-hop fan, and she wasn't even RAISED on hip-hop. She only listened at first to make sure this new %%*% coming up inthe 70s wasn't gonna poison the mind of her firstborn. She had reasons to assume rap was all bad, just like most haters, but she didn't. SheLISTENED. And years later she continued to do so. We could talk about rap as an art form because she could hear the poetry and the motion of thelyrics and RESPECT the craft for what it is. With that said, I was BORN into the hip-hop culture. I'm pure blooded, a pedigree if you will. She justadopted Hip-hop music to a degree. She was a Motown gal at heart
. However, unlike her my very first favorite songs were Outkast, MC Hammer
, Tupac, and Nas. Hip-hop is all I know, though I dabble with other genres becauseI'm open minded.
Now OP, ask me the question again now that it's in proper perspective.
If you're 20ish like I am, and you REALLY love hip-hop, you're just like me whether you realize it or not. We were the lucky ones. My brother taught memy love for hip-hop when hip-hop was GOLDEN.
