Pretty much yes. I can listen to a rapper and focus on the fact that his song is fun to listen to rather than the fact that he sucks major balls and is the worst part of it. I'm not as serious about this anymore. I think a few days with MTV in the background does the job. Now I'd rather listen to Flo-Rida than watch one of their TV shows for sluts or whatever.
Non-Urban Music What are you listening to RIGHT NOW?

and now you're growing up and realizing that hip-hop music is about fun and entertainment and not just Raekwon's music.
^haha word but I mean like, when people dismiss commercial music and are just all about the non-commercial shit, they remind me of back in the day when people would be all into one genre of music and completely against any other. They were immature in the sense that they didn't allow for diversity in their taste. As you mature, you start to care less about what your taste in music will tell people about you and more about what you genuinely enjoy depending on the mood you're in.
Well, whenever I've heard lyrics that sucked balls I couldn't listen to a song and it's not about being commercial or not. I enjoyed for example Eminem's or Snoop's songs when they were commercial. 2pac was also commercial. It's more about "hip-pop".
I agree that I had some sort of aversion to commercial hip-pop when I could just say it sucks without even listening to it assuming that it's shit because of my previous experiences. Now during our winter holidays when we were on a little local "Euro-trip" with friends driving a lot and listening to the radio and MTV which was often the only channel that could completely cut us from any news I found out that this kind of music might be fun without giving a fuck about lyrics.
I agree that my "hip-hop" pride or whatever made me hate anything with black people and stupid lyrics combined.
Now I just consider it as pop, I don't look at it from the "hip-hop" perspective and I can have fun to it.
I even had fun to this:

The sample on the hook is dope.
