2 Chainz was like 34 when he rebranded himself and became solo, no one clowned him.

But anyways, even if this was the case, if your fans are 65 year old white trash and a "rising star" is 35, that's different from a bunch of 16 year old fans clown a 35 year old. Btw this dude has like zero hits on Google except his death and 2k followers on IG. Country just doesn't have a culture of following artists or a culture for that matter. How are you gonna comment on his age if you don't even know what wikipedia or social media is.

Country music doesn’t have a culture of following artists?! :dahell:

You nikkas need to get outside your circle.

And you’re just reaffirming my argument..of course he didn’t have a big following because he’s UP AND COMING

I’m just asking why do rappers get clowned for starting a career at that age

And Tity Boy was already semi known before he became 2 chainz

No they do not, they buy their music, go to their shows, watch their videos and that's it. Not a bunch of big social media pages, paparazzi, reality shows, Akademiks and Vlads, big youtube shows, tv-shows and all that shyt that you have in pop/rap/rnb.

Why the hell would I get outside of my circle, when I can google :gucci:


Some of their biggest stars that do Nicki Minaj sized tours have 1 million followers, Minaj has 100 times more, is on TV 100 times more and there's a infinitely more paparazzis following her. People in rap are discussing unknown friends of friends of rappers like they are celebrities.



How can you be a rising star with less likes on your photos than me? :gucci:
Either, they do not have the culture like rap and pop like I'm talking about, or he was virtually unknown. Might as well call Hell Rell a rising star.


But could you show me these comments of these rising 35 year old rappers that people are shytting on?

I don't know if that's necessarily true anymore, all cultures were started by young guys.

Rap is just more about being fresh, creative and coming up with new shyt. Doesn't matter if you are 50 like Jigga, 40 like c00nye, 30 like K dot or 20 like Kodak or whatever. Look at Drake, Cole and Kendrick all close to 35 and biggest in the game. Or how Jigga and Kanye still are bigger than any rapper in his 20s as far as tours goes and probably only behind Travis as far as sales goes. Another factor I see is that rappers try to relate where they are in life in their music, while these (big) trash country artists make the same love or party song over and over again, so it's really irrelevant of age.

It just happens that usually young people are often the creative and crazy ones, so they will come up with new and creative shyt. If you like music that all sounds the same you imagine listening to a new KRS album every year forever and a new KRS copy coming every year. That's not rap though, rap stays innovating. Country, well it does on the indie level but that's not that small town white trash shyt you usually see at the country awards, but more on the indie/hipster level. Minus perhaps Kacey Musgrave.

Kanye West and Jay Z are legacy artists.
Kendrick, Cole and them are moving into legacy artists territory and not on the forefront of what is popping on SoundCloud. Plus, both of them came in the game in the 20s.

Never really hear of a new 30 plus year old rapper because Hip Hop moves too fast and it's primary fans are teenagers and young adults.

Hip Hop is too youthful and too trendy to allow people over 30 to just jump in.

I know people in their 30s who love Hip Hop and have no clue who Lil Uzi Vert or Young Thug is.

But these dudes are still gaining new fans of their new music, unlike say Rolling stones or U2 that could the biggest tours ever while their new music isn't really moving.

What I'm saying is how people are trying to start rapping at 35? And of those, how many are even dope and craetive enough to come with something that will catch ones attention?

2 Chainz revitalized his career and rebranded himself and came out as a new 35 year old with new fans and new style. No hate.
Rick Ross was 30, thought he was 40, no hate.

People are talking as if there's a bunch of dudes trying to get on with some heat at 35, show me one album and show me people hating on them of strictly age :yeshrug:


From my impression we hate on bums like Hell Rell who are 45 out fighting and acting like they are 18. But as I said, I think rappers really wanna relate their real life, thoughts or whatever to their listeners. 16 year olds don't care about taxes, kids, references from the early 2000s or fam in the feds like that whereas 45 year olds also wont listen to young rappers like that cause they talk shyt that they can't feel. While if all you do is sing love songs and getting wasted of whiskey and beer, anyone from 16 to 65 can relate to that. It goes both ways.

Another thing is staying fly, rap culture always championed flyness, so if you are an off-brand looking dude with off-brand talk, you might catch some shots too. Again, not about age, just that old people are probably more likely to be off-brand. But if you music is Dylan, it's dylan.
