It's funny... The youth of today in my opinion, being a teenager (I'm 15), do not think Drake is the best rapper. Most teenagers that aren't obsessed with cussing, séx, money or fame take the mentally stable route and say, "huh, rap is just a guy talking into a mic about all the shît he has, and how much séx he gets..."
That being said, I don't listen to rap. I don't listen to dub step, or EDM or country or anything like that. I listen to alt rock and rock and roll. Rap just... It's not entertaining. It's there for the people that take after them and get into "flaming contests" with people at school. I don't know one person over the age of 30 that listens to rap on a regular basis.
Just my two cents...
P.S. Here come the hate comments talking about how I don't know jack shît about music, and my opinion isn't valid since I'm 15.
P.P.S. I respect rappers. Ok let me rephrase that. I respect SOME rappers. The old ones. The ones who actually made the genre.

You say you don't listen to hip-hop and then make a post acting you know all there is to know about the genre... It's that kind of attitude that spreads this unfortunately terrible stigma attached to rap music. Not listening to rap beyond the age of 30? That has to be a joke. I'm bringing my kid up on true hip-hop and I will be buried to a hip-hop track. Finally, touching on your point about rap from back in the day... New does not equal bad. The only thing your comment deserves hate for is its blind assumptions and conceited attitude.

Rap isn't about cussing, sex, money, fame. Sure it may come up a lot but rap is all about how relatable it is.

Edited by Entropy: 6/10/2015 3:42:39 AMYou did not just say that. Yes. Everyone has lots of money. Everyone can fûck who ever they want cuz they're also super famous. Everyone can do what ever the FÛCK they want because no one gives a SHÎT when they do something stupid. They only "relatable" rap song would be one that goes a little like... "I wish I was a little bit taller I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat, and a six four Impala." By Skee-Lo, all rights to him. Oh yeah, he's also an old rapper.
