30 yr old that didnt make it in the rap scene

[r.prince18]

I have some friends some around 30 and one almost 40 that still rap. the one almost 40 has been signed to some record labels but nothing happened with the deals and i understand he met and had a meeting with 50 cent but 50 told him he was too old so he didn't sign him but that a good thing since that was the time 50 was fallin off so he would just been put on the shelf anyway and my other frien who around 30 still raps and want me to form a group with him. i'm thinking about it but don't know if i should since i 2 years i'll be 30, but he has a good plan which is what you guys been saying which is to go underground and remain indie which i wouldn't have a problem doing.

Yeah, at 30 it's past time to start seriously thinking of other options.

Hope your boy went to college and didn't put all his eggs in one basket. Every year we lose tons of potential doctors, scientists, etc. to hip hop. Smh.

really???

more like a few dozen.

im sure we're not losing MD's,attorneys, engineers by the 2000's every damn year to hip hop.

alot of artists jus have being an artist in their veins and wouldnt really transition well to the professional ranks.

blood is blood and your ability to play your role is in your blood. back in the day if yo ass was a court jester,thats what you did, you entertained. they didnt expect you to jus go off and become a soldier or a butcher.

seriously

presence is key

jus show up to every function can get you places. rubbing elbows,meeting the right people and kissing the right asses

most the bad rappers have a lot of hustle

most the good rappers have little hustle

who you think eatin more???

if only the talented brothas had the drive and hustle of the nonrapping ass niggaz, the world would be so much different

Nothin wrong with dudes doin what they love. They might even be nice at it.

I would worry if they had no other gig, though....
