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

So Joey Badass has a chance?

If he has the right sound to captivate the masses then why not? I just don’t think Joey cares about that though.

Will be a more common occurrence the older rap gets.

This generation doesn’t believe in longevity

Sadly they don’t but maybe that will change. Seeing Kendrick doing the Super Bowl and staying true to the craft like he is inspiring. That’s the problem with younger generation they don’t care about being the the best.

Nipsey was older than Kendrick and Drake. He would’ve been 40 this year. Crazy that Cole is already 40.

its been almost 6 years since Nip died. Time goes by quick as hell

u right tho damn

How’d you leave off Dolph?

or in jail

We lost a LOT of guys in the last 5 years smh.

Not to mention the whole 1017 label fiasco

I left him off bc i knew he was older. He died at 36, and would be approaching 40 had he not been killed.

XXX wasnt even 21 when he died. He would have been a megastar

The wells running dry. There’s a reason why labels shifted to women rapping over established beats from 90s and 2000. Even that won’t last long.

If nyqqas have given a pass to this dude for being a RECITER who cares about age

 

[Jaguar93]

Travis and Carti 30s but hey….

J Cole functionally did this.

Whatever people say about Drake, I think Cole hurt himself infinitely more. Cole put himself in Big Sean territory. I mean Wale could lap him right now if Wale wanted to.

You emotional not a real Hip Hop head in my book. You made this post because you in love with an artist. You don't care about the culture.
We all see it.

Honestly I think it’s more than any generation. 90s had a lot of lost too but the nikkaz in the 2010s is alarming.

Theres just more artists than there were back in the 90s/2000s. Without a major label, you weren’t “an artist"

Now all you need is social media followers and you’re “lit”

Those gimmicks wont be doing shows in their 50s/60s.

Asessing women rappers is weird. They clearly have followings but they dont sell records. They’re better off as influencers with EP/Single deals, not album artists

Here we go with the “culture” talk.

The oldest rappers for the last few years have been winning “best rap album"

I’m not unaware of whats going on.

Yall deploy some of these words to evade accountability for your opinions and stances.

Yes.

nikka its rap and its 50 years old this shyt not a young mans game like Jews tried to make it.
I know you close to 40 if not over.
What a young nikka got to tell you unless you didnt grow up hood?
And it is culture "ours" not "yours".
