[cozy carl]

how does someone sound 27 ?
​

 

[mag357]

Ima be honest...
27 ain't old...
But OP means the nikka acts like a kid.
27 ain't young either.

I'm around that age group all day, and that shyt is sad af, how they dnt have an adult bone on their body.

I think the influence of the south...southern music and culture has made these nikkaz like that

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

27 is not old

Op should've never made this thread.

 

[mag357]

27 is not old. stop skipping 27/28/29 before 30. There are still 3 years in your late 20s. You don't say a 17 year old is 20 do you?

17 and 20... compared to 27 and 30.
Is apple's and oranges.

17 ur still in high school, 20 ur probly paying ur own bills...

By the time ur 27, u should atleast be acting like ur own ur way to 30... cause 27 and 30 are damn near the same thing.
There is no difference but the number

 

[mag357]

I know many of ya'll may not know this but turning 30 and automatically going into Dad mode is only a social construct. If you are living well you will be "young" long after that.

I dnt wanna speak for OP but I dnt think that's what OP means...
Nobody is saying dude should be in dad mode.
When I was that age... and the era I group up in..
Even females didnt like a silly, goofy ass nikkaz.
bytches liked solid nikkaz. Not dancing, colorful, playful all the fukking time nikkaz

Our society places too much on youth. There is like some social norm placed where you have to be some young prodigy or have everything made by the age of 21-25.
You either got to be somewhere super successful or settled down halfway through your 20s.
And if not, your friends, family, and society look at you like you're crazy.
And this is why our society has so much pressure because nobody realizes that it's okay to not have something yet.

I know what you mean breh, I see 40 year old men trying to keep up with the "rap culture"

 

[DaRock]

People think 27 is old cause ya'll really believe that "live fast, die young shyt"..
Also scared to mature and do different things in life, scared to see yourself in various stages of life vs where you thought you'd be or dreamed to be..

nikkas saying 27 is considered old but your life expectancy is around 75-80 years and longer if you take care of yourselves..

You are in your physical prime
Your brain is in the final stages of full development..

Ya'll have lived some exhausting lives if 27 is old..

Either way, I can't tolerate goofy shyt from an adult male

 

[Born2BKing]

Since when is being 27 considered old?

It is to a 15 year old, like OP prolly is. Told ya'll the coli turning into a DJ Akademiks comment section

•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'm not saying he too old to rap I'm saying he too old to be doing the fukk shyt he doing. I quit the dumb shyt out at 20 too old for that shyt.

I'm 23 but I cringe whenever I hear an old person call someone that's 27 a "kid"
