Only rappers who come in their late 20s early 30s have lasting power. All the rappers who come in young don't stay around. They buzz for awhile but don't last longer than 4 years. Ross dropped Port of Miami at 30

Late bloomer generally do have lasting power but the part about younger rappers isn't true.

 

[Chris Cool]

Nobody mentioned the hottest nikka in the game?

Then why is Nas still mentioned around the young rappers and other Hip Hop legends? He came out when he was 20 back in 94.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Wasn't Chuck D around 27 when the debut dropped?

 

[Not The Ruler O9]

youre talking about an exception. One out of thousands that have come and gone. You're cherry picking a as when the conversation is talking about the game as a whole so how is this point helping your argument?
