I listened to rap most of my life... Since I started listening to music really
I was into more mainstream **** till I was 15 or so then I discovered the internet and I started listening to underground(see: backpacker) **** and older 90s rap like Wu Tang cause I got bored of the crunk era ****.
Then I started exploring other genres like rock and jazz and classical etc. I still like other genres I just got burnt out on music discussions online so I rarely talk about music cause I find it boring to talk about.
I still post in the hip hop section cause that's the only genre I can still muster up the passion talk about.
As for rappers being corny I can handle that. I can handle it being white too. Eminem's first few albums are basically every bit as white trash as ICP. But he can actually rap. He has respect for the art form and as such he is respected by other rappers.
