They have nothing else to rap about

For most of them being a block star was their life goal that’s how you got dudes like Jim Jones doing what he does

It’s not just NY rappers either…old NY rappers are just more relevant go listen to the shyt BG is putting out

It definitely ain't just New York rappers. But Hov is the only guy who comes to mind for me, who aged gracefully, his content evolved as he aged and got further away from his past...

If anyone knows anyone else who has done so, plug me in, because those are the guys who are real inspirations. The guys who were really outside at a point of time, but grew beyond it and their art evolved with them...

Because that's what their target audience wants to hear? I'd imagine the people who are still checking for these old Z list street rappers are washed up Gen X type nikkas still living in the hood :manny:



The Gen Z dudes are listening to Gen Z drill rappers around their age. I actually bought Memphis Bleek M.A.D.E album back in 04, I was in 6th grade at the time. Subject matter wise the album wasn't that ignorant lol.


The song below on that album had some substance :ehh:

In your 40s, you should be welcoming your first grandchild, spending your nights with the tv remote and getting excited about new gadgets like blenders/air fryers. Being on the block or talking about being on the block is not and should NOT be exciting.
