It's just so rare that the genre gets even close to really speaking to me. I didn't grow up with hip hop, it wasn't part of my formative years, it wasn't anything I explored as I started to really expand my musical horizons. No hip hop act has played any part at all in my personal musical journey, so it's no wonder that the genre means nearly nothing to me. If I had a friend that was really into hip hop or something, things might have looked different. It's really an uphill struggle for me to try and forge a connection with the genre and I wonder if it's even worth the trouble, considering how much amazing music there is out there in other genres, just waiting for me to dive in.
