Aint 2 Chainz like 40? If you can make songs that appeals to the mainstream age doesnt really matter anymore.

he's probably in his 30's but he didn't start making music as 2 Chains he's been on for at least 10 years as Titty Boi down with Luda

it's more about how yu look than how old you are. These performer create personas for themselves to use in the media. Like Rick Ross or Drake for example. You don't have to be your real age if you can pass as younger.

They see me trolling, they hating.....
hiphop is a genre for teenagers so if ur not a teen then don't even bother


on the other hand, Charles Bradley dropped his first LP when he was in his 60s and it's piff :ohlawd: .....he doesn't make hipster teenage rap music tho :yeshrug:

Never :ld:

I mean if you 35 y/o with no job talking about you about to start rapping when your friends have never heard you rap :comeon:

But if you are actually good its never too late, I think older rappers have more life experiences to talk about and a better perspective than teens and eariler 20s.

But you can't be old dude trying to come into the game trying to rap about the same stuff the young cats rapping about, you'll look foolish

rick ross dont look young at all. he's a fat boy. no one cares about his age.

2chainz looks like someones uncle.

the truth is, if you're a southern rapper. i dont think you have a age limit. and thats not me just talking. i'm being serious. its a lot of southern dudes who i grew up on back in the day that looked like my uncle back then. i didnt care. but i would think some east coast rapper looking that old was a bit Old or possibly some west coast rapper.

but like i said above. rap til ya die. dont worry about no one else.
