Yeah but the thing is it's still a relatively early time in the genre. Gotta change the thinking that we should be following 16 and 17 yr olds. It's never been like that til recent. Back day Kriss Kross and Another Bad Creation weren't looked to to lead. It was the dudes in their 20's and some in their 30's. Sure Nas was 18 and Snoop was 19 but most folks never hit their stride til their 20's, usually late.
Now the media and others would have you thinking you irrelevant at 30. That's some old "Please let this whole culture die off" shyt. While they salute The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and others who been doing what they do for 50 plus years.
