Yep u said it venom I feel the same way too... Im addicted as fuck to rap music Im perhaps the only mexican who has delved deep into rap than anyone as far as I know all cuz of readin murderdog & stickin to this siccness got me knowin so much about everything thats droppin & goin on & exploring all the old shit Im still missing out on that I think Im passionate about rap & hip-hop cuz of my outstanding collection & what Ive known about as far as the artists, regions, sounds, producers, history, culture, etc... & I do feel frustrated sometimes for the fact that Im way way behind on the other genres cuz Im a passionate music lover its another branch of art & I dig pretty much all genres as long as its good music & I aint feelin all the shit thats on the radio thats why I dont listen to the radio myself but I do need to catch up wit other genres one thing for certain I grew up on stuff like adult-contemporary, new wave, 80s music gerenal, jazz, & alternative etc before I got into rap as full-time I be feelin like I have distanced myself from those other genres I grew up on, the classic memorable songs that I always wanna own so bad but theyre always a hit & miss but I still need to own all of them; overall Im very behind on them as far as non-rap artists/bands all the info on them/history most importantly the other genres as a whole!!! Im so ashamed ya feel me???
