[Wild self]

[Wild self]

Imagine seeing your favorite 80s/ 90s rapper mean mugging and talk about fukking bytches in the VIP section in the club every night when his old ass wife scolds him?

Rappers can't be no 52 year old talking about moving weight to Baltimore and shooting up preschools so yes rap is probably the only genre of music with an expiry date. Rap is a young man's genre. Unless you're Jay Z

That has nothing to do with the genre and everything to do with the rapper. The roots, Talib Kweli, Common, etc can rap until their 100 for example.

Mainstream rap is young mans game it's called "hip" hop for a reason

Young thug and 3k spoke on this

But I think eventually there will be one a day when an other kind of rap thrives as its own sub genre

Prospering, if they're smart enough to avoid making the
same mistakes as that fukk nikka Camel.

Get married when you're worth half a billi, brehs

Invest millions in a failing sports company that'll be
bankrupt by the end of the decade, brehs

Be so god awful @ the music biz Wale aka the
WOAT rapper drops ur label, brehs

Invest 60 milli in a god awful attempt to compete with
Spotify Da Gawd, brehs

Spend millions on champagne no one drinks, brehs

Only put out an album if you can sucker some phone
company into pretending to buy a couple units cuz
you haven't been relevant musically in a decade, brehs

Be ugly as fukk, brehs

Get Ethered by Nas, brehs

Camel LOST

Edit: That's why Young Thug finna prosper. nikka already
said Hov washed up & he'll never go down that Holmesian career path

I mean you still see Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, McCartney , old CAC bands , old pop stars, old gospel singees, jazz, classical etc.performing but what will these rappers do?

Is rap the one genre of music with an expiry date as an artist?

This thread is Falsely representing rap tho

You named the elite of the elite rockers (success wise)that are still performing

I'm not familiar with rock bands that were hot and then fell off

Like what is blink 182 doing for money?

Rap is a young man's genre. Outside of a few key exception most people aren't tryna hear old rappers. They can still tour on the old school circuit but I sure as fukk won't be bumping their new music
