    Let's say... Do you listen to rap from pre-2000 era?

    If yes - What rappers/groups do you listen to? How often?
    If not - Why?

    Yes but not that much lately tbh

    Oh and 2nd question a lot of the usual suspects like dre, snoop, cube, rakim, early nas/jay, Biggie, wu tang members, ll cool j, early fat joe etc etc. But like I said not that much

    Though lately I've been listening to music post 2010.

    Depends on what you mean by classic. I see "pre 2000" is defined as classic now so yes I absolutely love classic hip-hop. Infact my all-time favorite era in hip-hop was the early 1990s Death Row roster. Dre, Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, then Tupac, etc. They basically had an all-star team there. And all young and in their prime too. I liked some other 90s artists too like Mobb Deep and the early Rocafella roster with Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, etc. As far as 1980s N.W.A is the only thing I liked from that era. I can't tolerate anything earlier than that. Production was s-----y back then and rhymes were just so basic.

    As far as modern hip-hop, which I'll define as anything "post 2010" I can't f---ing stand it. It's very rare I hear any new artists I like these days.

    1992-96 Death Row and 1999-05 Shady/Aftermath. Definitely my two favorite eras in rap.

    Southern old school hip hop like UGK and Three 6 is the only thing I regularly put on everything I else I respect and bump when it comes on but I don't go out my way to listen to it.
