DLopez Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 I used to like to listen to rap sometimes, but I've "outgrown" it. Most of those that are really into it still are just... well, still young. When was the last time you saw a thirty-something YO person digging rap the same way the kids in high school do? Everyone gets older every day, but I think that says a lot about a particular music genre when just about everyone outgrows it.

Pop rap doesn't count.
unknown Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 hip hop goes a long way back my brother in law and my cousin who are both in their 30's still listening to hip hop from way back in the day. mind you they were teens in the 80's and thats when some of the best hip hop was first coming out. as special K says the people who out grow hip hop later in life werent lisetning to real hip hop the music that i believe people will out grow is stuff like marylon manson and all that crazy gothic evil "I'm from hell" satanic type stuff. the fans of that music love it now but i think they'll be laughing at themselves when they are in their 70's looking back............ one word of advice for anyone out there trying to trash hip hop THERE IS REAL HIP HOP.......THEN THERE IS 'WEAK'/POP HIP HOP! and THEDEVILASIDE.....YOU DECIDING TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT WAS THE BEST IDEA YOU CAME UP WITH YET!

Mart Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 Im into real hip hop too. Like vanilla ice. Ice ice baby........only joking. I still listen to 36 chambers. Seize the day!
DLopez Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Well, the Beastie Boys do have one song that I really love... Ricky's Theme I probably like it so much because it's actually instrumental jazz!! That's kinda funny!! Their best song (IMO) isn't even a rap song! DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean
