I’m an old white guy, so my taste, or its lack, shouldn’t be surprising. My roommate is fond of playing college basketball and Hip-Hop at volumes I didn’t think were possible on our equipment. I wear headphones all of the time because I’m considerate, and I keep hoping my example will rub off, but no. And it would help if he played better music, but no. Like I said, I’m an old white guy, and I wasn’t familiar with Hip-Hop. I still wish I wasn’t, but no. ---

Some Hip-Hop is good. Truly. Could you ask your roommate to help you find hip-hop for old white guys? Maybe he can ease you into it. ---

Why would I want to exert any effort to like something I hate? ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Some Hip-Hop is good. Truly. Could you ask your roommate to help you find hip-hop for old white guys? Maybe he can ease you into it. As an “older” white guy, I might might recommend the classic hip-hop of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious BIG, Tupac, Ice Cube, Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC, and Beastie Boys. Rap and hip hop have been around for over 40 years, so I find it strange the OP wouldn’t be familiar with at least a little bit of hip hop. ---

Like I said, I’m an old white guy, and I wasn’t familiar with Hip-Hop. I still wish I wasn’t, but no. Ask the guy to war headphones. Even if it was music you liked, it’s inconsiderate to blast it all the time. ---

All I need is a new roommate who doesn’t listen to it. This one could die, but he’s too healthy. ---

New tactic for Pit threads: post hip-hop tracks instead of recipes. ---

I like this video because it lets hip hop newbies pick which of the 36 members of the Wu Tang Clan they like best. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/R0IUR4gkPIE/maxresdefault.jpg "Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0IUR4gkPIE) ---

Of course, hip-hop is a culture and style, while rap is a musical genre that falls under the hip-hop umbrella. ---
