As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion.

The same for the Kendrick and Drake (the nonce) beef which has given some rabbit holes to go down.

So I’m wondering what I can do to keep in the loop with my younger brothers and sisters?

Is it something as simple as watching trending videos on YouTube (somtheing I’ve never done) or are there people to follow etc. I don’t like Twitter though so hopefully it’s not that.

    It’s the style, or more specifically what it is turning into. Seems like when I got my first tastes of hip hop in the 90s it was more… musical / music forward? and now it kinda feels like just another rap flavor.

    Same with greatest rapper and greatest country singer of all time: I would be inclined to steer clear since it’s just generally not my thing.
