Is 40 not old in hip hop anymore?

[ajnapoleon]

kanye
Rick ross
Jay-Z
Etc....


All put out albums or can put out albums that can be talked about



Is age not a real issue anymore?

Shoot E-40 puts out music and his age is not talked about like it’s a problem

It was only old when few peoples careers survived to 40, just like any genre. All the major genres were created by young people, then those people got old and at 80 they are still making music.

 

[tuckgod]

Nope, hip hop’s audience grew up.

That young man’s game talk is over.

 

[AB Ziggy]

You have nikkas like Jay Z , Fab, Jeezy, and 2 Chainz still making music. All of the nikkas we grew up in our childhoods are now the 40 year olds we used to clown back in the day.

The stigma is fading away. Especially as today's climate favors continuing to maintain youth rather than be a middle aged man behind the times.

 

[Chris Cool]

Depends on the artist.

 

[MouseTeeth]

Good music supersedes any bias regarding someones age

 

[the cac mamba]

not since jay made "30's the new 20" when he was 38

 

[BK The Great]

As long as the music is dope I don't care how old they are. The older they are the more knowledge and wisdom you can hear from their content as well.

Exactly.

Damn shame hip-hop is the only musical genre with an age limit.

 

[Randy Sandchild]

Yeah hip hop is in an interesting spot for sure bc we get to see ourselves just how long a rapper can go for...jay rapping at 55 seems doable...but an Eminem rapping at 55 seems hysterical. Idk man. Time will tell

 

[Randy Sandchild]

And on another note as long as they deliver i pray these guys don’t ever stop bc once the goats exit the game rap is done for bro. Yeah we got some artists like Kendrick, Cole, and Joyner who still rap to be the best but for the most part it’s all soft as fug

 

[Juggalo Fred]

ICP are in their 40's and still dropping classics so yeah 40 ain't old anymore

 

[KiD WavE]

ICP are in their 40's and still dropping classics so yeah 40 ain't old anymore
