This is the dumbest logic I ever heard. Who only wants a 20 something yr old pespective on all artistry? If you 35, 45, 50 dont matter pursue your dream. Rapping, Singing, Poetry, Instruments etc. Rap is only geared towards young folks because the genre itself is super young. Jay Z is older than rap. 20 yrs ago there were hardly any 40 yr old rappers now its plenty.
Most of those r&b singers and groups back in the day were well into their 30s making classics. Like Isley Brothers was making "Between the Sheets" at 21. Yall are small minded as fukk. Life dont stop at 30.

Yes. He's starting to bubble locally and has been doing more radio up and down the East Coast. He's worked hard for this.
I noticed people will look down on it no matter what age you are. If you believe in your talents and don't mind taking the risk, go ahead and try. fukk it.
Don't hop on the dude's nuts if he actually pops off though, OP.

This.
Dude always bytching about how music doesn't have any soul or the arts is wack but don't show no kinda support.
Bruh I was at a open Mic yesterday supporting my cousin who turns 30 this week. He's fire as fukk. But what's even crazier is that I met this dude who literally confined to a wheelchair, he's body deformed and small. And he spit the HARDEST shyt bruh Everybody showed him love. He couldn't even hit the stage cuz he was wheelchair bound. Follow your dream man follow your passion fukk what a hater say it's your life live it well
I'd support any artist that is GOOD, TALENTED. regardless
Do you not like your friend or something? I think you made this thread about him before. Why not cheer him on?
Today is a new day, you can do rap on the side and still have a 9-5, it ain't like the old days where you had to put all of your time just to get on.
There's so many rappers who are rapping now that didn't grind that hard and signed to labels in less than a year or a few.
The only reason why rap has a youth stigma about it now is because teenagers like catchy dumb shyt, and grown nikkas would look dumb saying the dumbed down shyt, but those fad young rappers are gonna be gone. All the nikkas rapping now that actually matter are in their 30s and above.

Absolutely not.
By 30 you need some momentum behind you, you need to be able to book venues and your name alone should bring out minimum 50 people.
In otherwords, they shouldn’t need “support” from friends and family at all by 30.

Sorta. Depends what you do and when you start. At 30 you should be savvy enough to have a few solid agents and connections.

Support how? Financially or just in terms of cheering them on?
I used to say, fukk it, if they're good I'll support em no matter what, but when I look around now I see too many run-of-the-mill artists (or creatives) who frankly just aren't that great. Mind you I said GREAT and not "good" for a reason.
And I've had a couple friends and family members who were aspiring somethings who were actually really talented, but over time I got tired of trying to support them or cheer them on, especially since their "art" was their ONLY hustle and getting a day job was apparently beneath them. I've noticed a lot of artists take their creativity as a license to otherwise be lazy af. I can't support that bullshyt.
But honestly, people gassing up and blindly throwing their support behind (often mediocre) talent is what's preventing a lot of them from facing reality. Some people aren't ever going to be able to make a career out of their art and these are just facts. There comes a point where you need to relegate that shyt to weekends or your spare time and go out and do something to actually support yourself.

Hope there's puddin' in the clink...
Yeah, always....
I just ask that they continue with a sustaining career in the meantime.
I motivate my friends as I know they would do the same for me....
