Drake is 38. Kendrick will be 38 in 6 months. Is this bad for rap?

These young mfs don’t have the passion or the desire. They just hear for a quick check. :manny:

Until that changes and someone who actually cares about the art comes along and pushes the genre forward, hip hop is gonna be an old man’s game

I wouldn't say it's good or bad, but I think it's funny that Drake and Kendrick have a fanbase full of people calling others "old" that aren't even as old as they are lol. Making music for kids does not mean that you are their age. A lot of Juicy J fans didn't even know he was in his 50s. I tell a few of them, "this dude been putting out albums since I was in high school and he's only 2 years older than me.."

Drake nerds told me sales are all that matters

Em is 3rd most streamed rapper behind drake

If you really want to get spooky in an argument with a Drake fan start breaking down his top 20 streaming songs and how many actually have any rapping in them at all
Samuel L Jackson has done a lot of independent films but when you start talking about most successful indie film actors you can’t bring the MCU and Star Wars into the argument.

It’s real bad, since hip hop doesn’t have any real quality rapper who have the mindset to last a decade or more nowadays

All these young nikkas are not intelligent or has the skills to crossover to a wider audience outside of their just being autotune, drug addicted, limited vocabulary rappers that appeal only to a small audience

Nah i don’t think it’s bad.

It’s some goofy ass shyt tho.

The entire situation is. These nikkas pushing middle aged and got 12 year olds fighting over who’s a PDF or not.

Then you got all the grown nikkas who should have something better to do with themselves obsessed with proving who’s “the best”

Clown shyt all around, but clown shyt is what sells so…..:manny:

There’s literally rappers that could be up there in the spotlight. Y’all don’t care about them though. People be part time rappers out here and get more shine than people that really do this. It’s hilarious to me.

Nipsey was about to be in movies and shyt bro. He was on some Rick Ross/T.I. shyt.

Kendrick would still be a bigger “star” but in terms of meshing the two…he was on some mogul shyt.
Bro he was up for the Grammy with Cardi B and he lost. That was her year. That’s part of why it’s so bad now. Cardi don’t even rap full time anymore and Nipsey got mass appeal after he died. Victory Lap was a good album too

The younger generation does not see the value in making hits and being a superstar so we are left with previous generations superstars.

Remember Willow had next? And chose to make it a hobby.

That's what happened.
