I don't know much about rap

This is a confession: I don't know much about rap. But like everyone who grew up in the 90s, I did listen to Eminem, 2Pac, and the rest. But i never looked up the lyrics nor did I read the artists Wikipedia page. I just repeated some catchphrases in very bad English, just to be cool. Talk about uncultured.

Today I started a new series on Netflix called "Unsolved", which is a dramatization of the 2Pac and Notorious BIG murder investigation. I liked the first episodes because it goes back in time and shows us the rap scene of the 90s. But there's also a ton of conflict: white people vs black people, cops vs gangsters and East coast vs West coast.

I will likely watch the rest of the season 1 because I feel I can learn a lot about history, music and how the society was back then. Maybe I can even learn some slang and finally understand what they rapped about in the rap songs of my teenage years.

Talk about being uncultured.

"Talk about uncultured" sounds fine too, but I think this is better.

There *is* contrast. "I don't know much about rap, but I *did* listen to some when I was young."

"But" needs something to contrast, like "I don't know much about rap, but I still like it."

"the 2Pac murder investigation" or "the Notorious BIG murder investigation" both sound OK, but "the 2Pac and Notorious BIG murder investigation" is confusing because "and" is ambiguous.

I will most likely watch the rest of the season 1 because I feel I can learn a lot about history, music, and how the society was back then.

Yes, you are right. I should have said: "even though" is a better choice than "but" for this kind of contrast. It's also easy to use "but" too often. Thanks for pointing this out!
