Yeah I don't get it either, honestly I never tried to understand it. Although I do kind of get it.Even the loud MOP hyped up stuff that I listen to 'kids' now a days are like this is corny.
Let alone Nas, Jay etc... or god forbid some like... aesop rock or atmosphere or anything like that... they're like yeah ok grandpa next are you going to read me the thesaurus fucking thesaurus. And they listen to mumble rap, 90% of which I have no clue what their names are they're all interchangeable, to me.
I think the people who are still really into rap/hip-hop still know the stuff most of us like, like more lyrical stuff, and have an appreciation for it... but the majority absolutely not.
Like the other guy put, the times they are a changin'. But I think they changed a looong time ago. I've got no interest in it, i'll put on some of that stuff every now and then for fun if I want to bang out and yell or when I can get it together enough to work out. But I've never tried to look much into the new stuff because they sound a lot the same to me, and I don't really like it.
