Do you think that listening to rap can slow down turning into a miserable coot that smells like a head of cabbage gone south sweating on the couch in ponderous desperation?

No, I’m living proof.

In my experience, modern mainstream rap has had the exact aging effect described.
Maybe some boom bap will help keep you young but once you realize how old most of that is, you’ll be feeling old again in no time.

Listening to anything that makes you happy will keep you young. Enjoy what you like and ignore what you don’t. It’s all good!

I may be in the minority here but there is some fantastic trap music out there.

Don’t crunk and trap owe a lot to Memphis rap?

Not sure to be honest. My kids love it so I’m listening by proxy.

On a somewhat related note my high school art teacher loaned me Einstein on the Beach senior year and whenever I listen to it (which is only a couple times of year by devise) I feel young as hell!

I have often been complimented on my youthful complexion. This thread has made me consider that I may owe my balmy youthfulness to listening to a lot of NWA as a nipper.

I still listen to rap, and I feel young, so anecdotally it is 100% fact.

Shaving the beard can keep you young. Or at least trimming it so short that you can’t braid it anymore.

Listening to new (to you) music in any genre will keep you young…

I had a Memphis rap day at work last week to educate the youngsters who work for us. It didn’t make me feel young since most of what I played was made before those kids were born. I’ll still be listening to dirty ass rap when I’m 90 though so f*** it.
