I am not going to expect a 10 year old to know about Slick Rick, Krs One, Wu Tang, NWA, etc these are rappers way before their time (10-20 year gaps) Unless you had parents that were bumping this type of music in your childhood

lol you keep going younger to prove your side of the argument.

First it was 13-25 which is already a huge age gap in thinking, then you started to just stick with the low end. 13 and now it's down to 10.

Based off of your first age range, teens normally tend to rebel from the mainstream stuff they are hearing and dig deeper. So I'm more willing to bet that teenagers know who listen to rap casually AND the ones that are hardcore fans know Slick Rick and Ice Cube.
