Hip-Hop for Grown People?

It has nothing to do with being an adult.
If you lose interest in an artist because you got older you probably never appreciated the artist for the right reasons. Something about the artist appealed to you and you grew out of that particular (childlike) interest. But enjoying quality music doesn't change because of age.

Quality of music doesn't change but a person's taste and his priorities do. I can't put it anymore simpler than that.
I enjoyed Postman Pat as a child but nowdays I find myself watching different programs. That does not mean I did not appreciate the stories written for Postman Pat, it means more than that.
You seem to have taken my reply to Mark Deez personally... I can only apologise for your hastiness.

This thread is really confusing to me.
First thought: Isn't it adults who go to clubs where Ying-Yang Twins, T.I., 50 Cent, 3-6, and the rest of that ignorant/ohhiphopisdyingpleasesaveit are endlessly played?
Second thought: Isn't it obvious that A Tribe Called Quest (whose last good album was 12 years ago) would appeal to an older crowd (BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO REMEMBER THEM)?
Third thought: Common, Nas, Jay-Z, Outkast - is it really surprising that these guys, who have been releasing albums for a decade (or, in Jay-Z's case, nine years, but an album every year has to have the same weight as one every other year for a decade), and are now universally popular, have an adult fanbase?
Hopefully any one of the things I've said is useful to this thread, because I'm not sure what it's about.
I like pralines now.
