Shout out to all the vets late in their careers dropping quality....

[Playaz Eyez]

Just shouting out a lot of guys, specifically nearing 40 or 40+. I'm not including any of the GxFR dudes cause even though they're approaching that age, they've only been on radar since maybe 2015. Whether it's their flow not falling off, flow only marginally changing, and/or keeping a good ear for production despite being out of the limelight, give these guys their flowers. I'm basically just going to list a bunch of dudes that have released quality projects in the past 2 years or so, but mostly recently. Search any of these dudes just in case you've missed out, and salute

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

imo this the most exciting thing happening in hip hop today. It's completely new territorythese artists are treading in.

these artists wouldn't have the opportunity to have these types of careers had it been the 80s 90s and 00s

E-40

Can’t believe I forgot about E-40 and Juicy J as well. Those dudes have steadily been able to stay ahead of the curve in their latter years.

40 is on a very short list of artists who can still put out a commercial hit that will be embraced by teenagers.

Honestly, in 2019, I don’t even know who else is on that list.
