I'd say probably after that Drake/Pusha T feud.

Around what year did you stop listening to "New" rap regularly?

Will never completely give up on it but I have definitely slowed down on finding new artists. And the newest artists I do find honestly should be thankful spotify exists cause none of them are making music I would actually buy.
i would say i got out of mainstream around 2014 or so. a little before 'hotline bling'
underground i will always rock with. KA was dropping liquid swords quality LPs on the regular up until he died. im not worried about the heart and soul of hiphop dying. i know the mainstream will pick through whatever sells to take from it, but i think there will always be clever emcees and producers doing good shyt. you just wont hear about it unless you dig for it! god bless hiphop. i miss the other genres. if you like noise/industrial theres some great stuff out there, but punk rock is pretty dead. metal is doing okay. but to get back to the point, hiphop will be fine. its a genre built on ingenuity. something from nothing.
there will never be another SEAN PRICE though. that makes me real fukkin sad

2013/14ish.
I still get the itch to discover "new" music, both rap and other genres, but I usually scratch that itch by going into the past to listen to albums I never got around to when I was younger. There are so many 80s, 90s, 00s gems, and there's something really enjoyable about having historical context surrounding the album to listen to with it in mind than jumping into brand new albums with twitter hot takes, social media fukkery, and coli talking points jumbling in my head.
Idk why but going through old music that influenced contemporary artists or maybe even went under the radar for its time period for the first time is much more palpable to me with where I am in life now than checking out what's new or hot.

Probably through very end of the SoundCloud era, maybe 2019 I stopped checking regularly. I still follow artists I like (Gunna release last year for example) and check for new shyt but I don’t have the time or energy to keep up.
