“Oldies” rap wasn’t what I needed to force myself to enjoy, I already enjoyed it. The two most prominent artists in my playlist are Mos Def and Nate Dogg.
The rap that I needed to force myself to like is the new stuff, and I’ve definitely found things to enjoy that are new. But at the same time, I’ve found a lot of lyrically uninspired garbage, yet I still find myself listening to it.
