stress. Back then, those niggaz were literally fighting for their lives in the crack epidemic. N they ate foods without preservatives. Now, its partying all the time and their biggest worry is getting rejected.

less facial hair makes you look more appealing to the younger teenage crowd

Too much estrogen in today's youth...that's why.

you had to grow up fast back in the days of gangsta rap,gang banging, and the crack epidemic. It's all about environment. The environment required men to be rougher and so they not only adapted mentally but physically as well. Now niggas look like they can barely put up their own weight on the bench.

rappers was actually from the ghetto back then

Those are no longer ghettos.. lot of redevelopment/improvement. Compton crime rate is down to its lowest in 17 years and South central is down to its lowest in like 30 years.

when my father was 17 in the early 70's him and all his homies looked 25+
when i was in high school in the late 80's... i was seeing niggaz age16-17 with full facial hair lookin and carrying themselves as if they were 26+
niggaz was driving souped up el caminos, cadillacs and impalaz to school and shit.

I like this explanation.

alot of rappers back in the day lied about their age though..

EDIT: i shouldnt say rappers.. but people in the industry period..
plus the fact when ur kids everyone older then u.. LOOKS OLDER to u..

now we're the older ones lookin at kids..

It's just a difference in size seems to me. Ice Cube, 2pac, Big Pun, and the likes were born in 60's-70's. Less processed junk food which is just poison to the system anyway. Mothers ate homecooked natural food back then. Occasional McDonald's outings were the extent of fast food. Soulja Boy and the rest were born 80's and up. Drive thru city. Probably stunted their growth....Just a theory.

lol @ south central n compton no longer being hoods
and you forget that the niggas i named grew up in compton/sc before the crime rate started going down, so it doenst matter either way.

I was thinking this too. Something to do with Darwinism...idk...The 60's & 70s were more turbulent times for African Americans in comparison to the 80's and 90's. Survival of the fittest I guess.

Compton's not too bad at all from what I've seen recently.
