Problem: I only enjoy listening to the most hood gangster rap
I have a unique problem where I only really enjoy listening to gangster rap music.
Like, my coworkers and MD may be talking about the newest alternative rock song, EDM, country music, jazz, classical music, etc, and I know enough to talk about it in conversation, but I don't enjoy listening to it. So for me to keep up, just feels like a chore.
The only music I enjoy listening to is gangster rap like Gunplay, Polo G, Kodak Black, Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, Future, Gucci Mane, and local rappers in my city that are gang banging.
I vibe with the beats, but in the music realm, I just don't relate to the finance industry. I only enjoy listening to the most hood gangster rap, and don't enjoy listening to other genres. I'm already pretty senior in my career (2nd year Associate) but I recognize this is my Achilles Heel. What can I do or should I just not gaf?
Celebrate Woo Wednesday with some Pop on in the background of a call. They'll get the idea.

Ain’t no such thing as
This guys a gangster ?! His real name is Clarence !
Scared to death scared to look, they shook
How is liking different music an Achilles heel

the stick up your ass is poking through your mouth, sir
Bet you secretly listen to WAP.
You pay $60 for a gram
$100 this guy is a hardo undergrad somewhere
YoU ShOuLdn’t LiStEn To MuSiC from OtHeR cUlTuRes. If your white, which I assume you are, only listen to white music. Don’t culturally appropriate music. The blacks, whom are my niggas, are oppressed enough. They don’t need your white ass listening to their music. Probably a non target too.
What's the point of creating a fake problem? I have never heard anyone discuss the newest classical music lol
Dude, that new Chopin track is off the hook. He totally blows Mozart out of the water.
Pop Smoke was a gem, RIP. New album is incredible. I don't think anyone cares what you listen to.
Dude, just listen to your music.
This is not an issue. If anything, it make you a real street mf. Someone to respect. Keep this shit up, never look back, and remember “you cannot say pop, and forget the SMOKE”.

Listen to Deep House. Check out: Phil Blythe - What I Want.
you are very offensive and must apologize for culturally appropriating rap music
Don’t be sorry for it. I am (or was) in IB at a large MM firm and listened to nothing but real street rap. I try to follow real gang beefs through amateur artists (if LavD ever shows up on my block I’m popping out for Mozzy and that’s on Pebbles). I can’t explain why I like it, I just do, and it’s probably considered weird by most in finance. But they don’t know about it, and I like a ton of other genres, what I call “real” rap being my preferred. Just perform your job well, dress like the rest to blend in and don’t worry about shit only you can hear in your ear buds.
Gucci is a legend. Young Dolph is better today though. Who do you listen to that isn’t really on the radio or found on hiphopheads?
916frosty my boy
Young Dolph is money.
thugger bro
Have you seen people dancing to EDM? What's with all the kicking? There's like 3 moves to EDM versus infinite to rap. And I've never seen anyone dance to classical. Maybe Those who don't listen to rap are just underdeveloped musically.
Since when is Future considered a gangster rapper?
Kodak isn't a gangster rapper as well
Young Kodak and Gucci are goats man
Yeah Kodak Black is good
You listen to the most mainstream, popular music out there.
Visual representation I had in my head when I was reading OP's post
hooootie hooooooooooo
OG's know 3 6 mafia
I'm not sure how much "gangster rap" there actually is in those artists you mentioned. Future sure ain't one, Fivio & Pop are Brooklyn drill artists, post-prison Gucci not making that type of music either.
I wouldn't even bother trying to branch out to other genres because you listed so many of em that there's little overlap in the group as a whole anyway. Maybe try to go a bit more mainstream, i.e. try to mix in Drake, Kendrick & J. Cole. They definitely don't have music that is as "lit" (my apologies lol), but they have songs that can fit into what it is that you're trying to listen. Just off the top of my head I can name about 5 Drake songs that would probably mix into a playlist with similar artists somewhat easily (Sneakin' feat. 21 Savage, Money in the Grave feat. Rick Ross, Nonstop, Gyalchester, Look Alive (BlocBoy's song), most of the mixtape with him & Future i.e. What a time to be Alive e.g. Digital Dash, I'm the Plug).

Absolutely nothing beats listening to rap while building a model at 2am.
While in banking, my associate was accidentally forced to listen to Meek Mill for a bit one night when my headphones got disconnected...
This isn't a problem. I listen almost exclusively to bizarre black and death metal. Just don't be weird about it.
Any war metal?
Did the OP just imply that "Future" was hood gangster rap?
On god future is some hood rap
“You know you not 'bout that life, you wasn't selling that white, you wasn't toting that pipe”
Don’t get fooled by his singing and autotune
Nope and nope.
No moneybagg yo?
