When did you start losing interest in Hip Hop and start listening to other genres?

We already have enough terrible rock acts , we don't need anymore.

Anyway, I'm at my peak of interest probably, and I doubt I'll ever lose interest.

I'm gonna have to agree with you about being too lazy to find new material. I think at some point you get used to what's in the mainstream and you don't seek out new talent.

OP , I think you are taking what he says too literally. I think he meant that he's bored with the current state of traditional hip hop....so he's trying his hand at alternative hip hop I would say.

Hip hop is constantly evolving and he wants to be part of the new generation that helps to push hip hop to it's limits where it dips into other genres and mixes them together.

I've noticed lately that alot of Hip Hop and R&B are relying heavily on dance/house music. That's like the "in" fade right now. I don't see it as a negative thing it's just something that's different and people are trying it out. I like this hip hop/dance music fusion.

I've always like Hip Hop/Rock fusion but only a few can pull it off well. I know i'm going to get bashed for saying this but Linkin' Park is one of them. To name a few others....Hollywood Undead, Limp Bizkit(I know I know shame on me), Saliva, P.O.D. and there are some more just can't think of them off the top of my head. People that aren't open minded and only like rock or only like hip hop can't appreciate those bands

I must be doing this wrong, I lost interest in other genres and started listening to more hip hop.

Jesus, that sound horrible... just the thought of hearing Lil Wayne's take on rock makes me cringe.

Same here, well I'm not really sure if it was losing interest as much as it was expanding my horizon.

I know what you mean. To phrase it better, I've found an interest in hip hop, but I haven't lost my interest in everything else. I still listen to a variety of different music, but I've come to appreciate hip hop a lot more now than I did even a year ago.

That's pretty much how it was for me, although I still listen to other stuff. Besides Mastodon, though, Hip Hop's the only thing I still buy new stuff in.
