There is so much good stuff out there off radar. When I was a teen, I didn't like mainstream hip hop, in my 30s now I don't like mainstream hip hop. When I was in my teens the first wave of neo soul was going and that was my thing.....now in my thirties it's gotten boring, mainstream r and b has gotten worse BUT I dig now like I did then.

Don't go into the whole genration gap nonsense UNLESS you were into commercial R and b back 15 yrs ago.
