•Hov's first exposure to hip hop fans on a mainstream level came in '96. He was 26 years old...
•50's first exposure to hip hop fans on a mainstream level was late '02/early '03. He was 27 years old...
•Ross's first exposure to hip hop fans on a mainstream level was in 2006. He was 30 years old...
•Nicki's first exposure to hip hop on a mainstream level was in 2009. She was 26 years old...
•2 Chainz first exposure to hip hop on a mainstream level, after his rebranding, was around late '07/early '08. He was 30 years old...
99% of the posters here never even heard of DaBaby before that shooting last November, and that's what really ignited interest into his music. So he was 26 and turned 27 last December when people on a mainstream level really started knowing who he was...
All of these artists, in every single case, spent years trying to get on in some form or other. It ain't like nikkas start repping and 6 months later they're a star. They always start younger...
I still think a majority if artists "blow" on a mainstream level when they're under 25, but it's never not been people in that 25-30 range to start reaching success. That's always been around and all of the artists were grinding from younger than that anyway...
Because hip hop is a young culture, what really hasn't happened yet is watching people blow up and make it big in that 31-35 range. So in that sense, it's still a "young man's/woman's game", but 31-35 is still young in actual life years. It's just our genre is only what, 42 years old or so? It's a young genre that promotes youth and isn't yet as seasoned as other genres like country or rock or pop that more routinely see 30-somethings burst into stardom...
About the only person in our culture I can think of is Lizzo, who is 31 and blew up this year, but the song that put her in mainstream view (Truth Hurts) actually came out two years ago when she was 29. But it didn't have buzz...
Black culture as a whole magnifies youth and makes us minimize aging. Bit when you take into consideration that the average Black life span is ~75 years, you see how young 35 is, in context. There are some of us in this thread right now that will live into our 70s or older, and we got nikkas in here saying late-twenties is old...
Lmao...

I imagine a lot of people that feel old or think 20 anything can be considered old have to be washed up 
People like this are either one of those balding, overweight, sloppy people that start letting themselves go right after high school or just have no life experience if you think age determines how mature someone acts.

People can't tell age for shyt I swear there was a thread saying Idris Elba looks 25
I had an uber driver pick me up that thought I was a teen a few weeks ago. Maybe 5 years ago but I know I've aged some I'm 33 now that never happens anymore lol.
So I don’t have to be married with kids by then if I don’t want to?
27 is old for his antics and fukkery but

All these rappers in the past were getting into fukkery at roughly the same age or older. Still doesn't excuse their stupidity though

Its not just the fukkery tho, its the childish attention antics too. Seems like you get that more now than before but
I don't excuse it tho. I just don't let it bother me.
