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

[CrimsonTider]

I dont think anyone has ever cared about this....

 

[Ol’Otis]

It dropped in 1999, he's born 1965, 99-65 = 34

so u mean the 2001 album

 

[Harry B]

Words from the Genius came out in 90-91

Always forget about that album, I treat it like Juvenile Hell and Infinite.

 

[Harry B]

so u mean the 2001 album

Yes, formerly known as Chronic 2001 or Chronic 2000 even.

 

[Vilhena]

When Camel dropped Beach Chairs.

 

[OG Talk]

How did that change and when did it change?

I always tell the story about reading the Source once and finding out that Ghostface was 26..

My first thought was "He's really dope for an old head"..No lie..

The rappers I grew up on all had classics by the time they were 21..

Now we got 40 year old n1gga screaming bout "We the millennials!!!"

It is weird..

 

[10bandz]

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

 

[JerseyBoy23]

I think Dre dropping a dope album at 30+ and Jay dropping Blueprint at 30+ have changed that notion.

 

[Express]

Drake finna be thirty
the goat

Kevin gates too

 

[BluntTrauma]

When people's favorite rappers hit 30 so they raised the age to 40

 

[OG Talk]

I think Dre dropping a dope album at 30+ and Jay dropping Blueprint at 30+ have changed that notion.

I remember on one song Jay said something like "Young cuz I'm 32"

And me being 21 thinking



Now I'm 35 and thinking that maybe 32 was young

Young cuz I'm 32
dress like Im 22
flow like I'm 18
do what I wanna do

 

[daboywonder2002]

The young guns dropped the ball. Now people could care less about age.

 

[ajnapoleon]

It's weird to me when the rappers was older than me I listened to them but now that I'm older I wondered how in the world

Nas wrote illmatic at 17

Kool g rap 20-24

Big daddy Kane 15-24

They still going on strong ..... Not as active but still potent


All these guys in they 40's I'm like why should they stop?

But I really remember when your age was like sports like you "lost a step" I never got it
