There's a lot of rappers who have been around forever and took forever to blow. Jay-Z was rapping since the late 80s and didn't drop an album until 1996. DMX was rapping for 13 years before It's Dark came out. And was signed to Columbia records, was on songs with known artists and everything

Yep! Jay was 27 when his first album dropped, DMX was 28, Rick Ross was 30, I think 2 Chainz was 35, Jay Electronica is like 35-36 and Ja Rule said he remembers seening Jay Elec all the way back during the Jack the Rapper events and that was the mid 90s.
