Remember being a 30 plus damn even a 30 year old rapper was frown upon?

I never thought about rappers ages unless they said it in their music.

 

[Hardaway]

the best rapper alive is 24

 

[STFARN]

Meanwhile J. Cole and Kendrick r like 40 singing on the mic and mad at Reese, Durk, etc for bein 18-24 killin tha rap game.

Hip Hop is still one of the youngest art-forms and cultures. It's barely 40 years old. As the culture grows and matures its slowly becoming more acceptable to be an older rapper, especially if the rapper is still making great and relevant music.

when 2 chainz got into the game at 36

2 Chainz been rapping for 18 years though, when he was in Playaz Circle. You right though about him getting mainstream in his 30s

I remember when Cam'rons main ammunition in his beef with Hov was that he was 35 and wearing sandals with jeans

Cam'ron is turning 40 next week

 

[James Worthy]

And some of these guys have industry ages...Hov could be 50 for all we know...

My only issue when it comes to rappers and age is behaviour and content. Dont be 40 still talking like you 16 or dressing like you 16, at least be mature and sound mature. Like Earl said....a lot of father figures out here following trends....

HOW IS THE KING OF NEW YORK WEARING SANDALS WITH JEANS?

HOW IS THE KING OF NEW YORK WEARING SANDALS WITH JEANS?

"Open toe sandles with chancletas with jeans on"

 

[Cheech&Chong]

I had to turn the beat off

 

[AB Ziggy]

Cam'ron is turning 40 next week

nikka bout to eat those words he talked about Hov


Killa please don't go all on us

 

[AB Ziggy]

I just realize that Drizzy turns 30 this year. And Kendrick and Meek not far behind.

Ironically. These nikkas have more skill for the art of rap than younger nikkas in their early 20s today.

90s babies are a lost cause in the hip hop game.

 

[Easy-E]

How did that change and when did it change?

Jigga was 31 when the Blueprint drop
