    Ya, much like posting, rap is a young mans sport. I listen to what I like mainly for nostalgia, and mostly fail at keeping up with what’s popular. I think it’s always important to be aware of what’s out there, but I don’t feel bad being a grown up whose tastes have shifted.

    That said I listen to Eminem sometimes heh, and run/work out to rap

    I will listen to rap until the day I die, regardless of age.

    People are 50 plus and literally still rapping now, it’s ridiculous to put an age limit on listening to anything the f--- you want

    Been listening to rap since 11-12y old when I started with my home country's rap music and then when I was 14-15 discovered rap in the usa and I enjoy it till this day. I'm about to be 33 in 3 weeks.

    I kinda understand what you mean but not as a whole genre. Someone my age listening to Lil Uzi in public is a little weird. But listening to old school Jay or Nas for example is perfectly normal. Hip-hop as a category has so many different sounds that have changed with the decades that it's not fair to any more to just say "hip-hop".

    OP your concentrating far too much on your age. You sound like you have an inferiority complex that you are not mature for your age.
    It is a number.

    I listen to music I enjoy.
    I am growing a bit away from modern hip hop. But Roddy Rich,Boogie & Joey Badass are some good more modern artists. Juice WRLD was great too.
    Young Thug & his influence that sound has gone very stale & boring.

    I admire it for the skill. Always have, always will. At 40 I'll be listening still...

    But seriously, I don't like the new era of Rap. I'm quite picky about drill, mumble rap is trash, it's fair to find a new artist that I like based on what is classed as rap these days. I'll always love rap but I'm in it for the bars and the flows. None of this mumble s---.
