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

[Street Knowledge]

The vast majority of people mostly listen to music from their era when they are coming of age

Much respect to you young blood For someone born 19 years ago what made you gravitate towards older Hip Hop and R&B from 70's-90's?

I listened to good kid m.A.A.d city in 2013, which led me to Pac. And Pac spoke to me more than on some music stuff

So I started off listening to like Pac, Dre, Snoop, BIG, Nas an Wu an then I just kept listening to more and more. Goin back and listening to Classics

And my mom always played 90s R&B and Lauryn Hill so I had heard so many of it growing up and I rocked with it

Cuz the main stuff that I grew up hearing was Crunk, Ringtone rap, all them dance songs an whatever.

The music I started get into, that Crunk, Ringtone rap stuff don’t even compare

Great music is timeless, so hearing all of it just makes me dig deeper, James Brown probably the older artist I listen to music from

I say around 2011-2012 I stopped checking for new hip hop consistently. If something catches my ear or someone recommends something, I will give it a listen. @iBrowse put me on to some new music today.

[Mr Clean]

I was an enthusiast knowing everything until about 2012-13.

Never stopped listening to new music but as a fan of raps me not listening to singing, melody shyt doesn't mean I don't like rap anymore.

 

[RhymesWell]

For me it's gotta be last year (2018). Just awful as far as drops but I still check out stuff from time to time but I can feel myself slipping a bit due to all the weak releases I've been subjected to. Hopefully it picks up in the latter part of this year.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Somewhere in the last 3 years I just checked out of actively listening to music. I used to be serious about collecting music, but if I'm being honest sometime around 2011-2012 I slowed up on that

Big artists doing releases I'll check for, but shyt is so disposable now I could care less

 

[Doctor Wily]

I go through peaks and valleys with it

Stopped listening 2006-2008
Then 2013-2014
And now from last fall to about a month ago.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I never stop checking for new music, there's always young artists I can fukk with

Saba was one of them last year.

There's always new artists with some great content. I don't want to listen to no kill nikkaz fukk hoes shyt... not my thing. Give me substance and I'm good. Don't count the youngins out

 

[Pimpdaddy]

around 1998

 

[Phantum]

I'm not into it deep like I used to be but I try to keep current at least. Like others have said I don't want to be one of those stuck in the 90s dudes. It's still the goat era make no mistake about it but sometimes you need to hear something fresh.
