Keith Sweat looking like the newest member of Larry Holmes Estates

[⠀X ⠀]

That's so strange. I can't imagine anyone in the Netherlands knowing Keith Sweat songs.

Black music has always done well in a lot of these European countries. I have a lot of friends who are always touring out there, backing some artist. They still appreciate real music out there, unlike a lot of Americans.

Just stepping in to see if I'm alone in this thought:

I truly believe that my generation (millenials) and the generations after (Z or whatever) are having a tough time gauging time & aging.

Part of me wants to believe that it has something to do with decades & eras being less definitive and groundbreaking with culture & technology and maybe everyone being on social media has made it hard to decipher one generation from another because everyone's kind of on the same page...

...but every other day, it seems like people are shocked that "it's been 20 years since ______" or this celebrity/song/movie is turning 30 today and people can hardly fathom it.

Maybe it's overexposure or everyone being too distracted to pay attention?

People arent hitting life milestones. They dont have the necessary reference points to gauge time and aging.

It’s been over 40 years

At least he still out here performing and getting a check

It happens to me too. It's hard to believe that the time between 2000 and now is the same as the time between 1975 and 2000.

 

[African Peasant]

He's 63

He’s 63!!!

He's 63

One of you should tell him, since he does not seem to know it

People were so busy clowning folks from the 90’s that they forgot they’re going to get older too. I mean there’s to much just for men/bigen, fake teeth, ozempic, etc being used by people who are damn near 20 years younger than Keith. You’d think people would soften their stance on age by now.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

y’all making fun of him for being 63, many of our black greats didn’t even live to be 63

My cousin went to school in Denmark because they had some program where he was able to go for free. Dude never came back. Met a PAWG and started a whole family out there. He was surprised that there were pockets of Black people out there too.

Word, a good friend of mine lived out there for a while. It's solid out there

 

[Luke Cage]

He is literally elderly. but looks great for his age.

There is a coli breh dating a 63 year old woman for comparison

I agree

But I don't think it's as weird as we think when we think about it.

I can't really articulate what I'm trying to say..but technology kind of changes our perception of time.

It's actually a theory that I'd like to look into more because I think we all feel this way

 

[jadillac]

All time great songwriter and producer and a pioneer for New Jack Swing and R&B.

nikkas are disrespectful

Rappers dying by age 50.

 

[NinoBrown]

One of the founding fathers of New Jack Swing and modern R&B, an absolute legend. Many black folks barely can make it to their 60s without some type of major health issues...

Let Unc cook!
