What up with these 40 year old NY rappers still rapping about moving weight and busting guns

[keond]

Find it surprising that nikkas in their 40s 50s and 60s still sell dope and have shootouts, brehs

Where this energy for John gotti and el chapo nem?

fukk them too. John gotti was a piece of shyt racist who died in jail, Chapo will see the same fate

 

[BangBike]

Bleek still one song away..

 

[spliz]

Nas did

Way before Jay too.

 

[T-K-G]

Drake turn 40 next year. N he be throwin up trigger fingers fake gang signs n rappin bullshyt too.


Dont just put that on Ny rapppers.

He literally said "These"


Like, the guys in the video....


And Drake has definitely gotten flack for that, even moreso cuz even when he was young people looked at him goofy considering who he is

90% of the time it comes off inauthentic or boring when rappers "mature" their content.

I don't care about what healthcare plan you purchased, I don't care about Dad topics, I don't care about your thoughts on investments, I don't care about your opinions on social things (if that hasn't been your MO).

I listen to rap to be entertained.

I prefer street raps to still rap about street shyt, just approach it differently. Get into more story telling, get into more ups and downs and highs and lows and have some kinda message you're conveying at the end of it, without being preachy. I think it can be done.

It’s low key embarrassing seeing old head rappers in their 40’s and 50’s still rapping about the shyt they did during their 20’s and even 30’s.

Nas & Hov didn’t sound unauthentic which mature content. Maybe other rappers should try it

 

[Drip Bayless]

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...

Nas?

 

[murksiderock]

Nas?

Not trying to derail the thread with a different convo but I mean guys who were legit street guys who transitioned. Nas was an "I know some guys" affiliate, he was never outside like that...

But yes he had street raps and elevated his content from it...

It’s crazy how he “evolved” into that

What do you have to do to be a street guy in your opinion?

I don't like Jay and Nas new music like that. King Disease shyt was cool, Magic shyt was cool. 4:44 was cool.

But I don't listen to them shyts like that. It don't compare to their street music imo
