Why do young cats call rappers in they 30's and 40's old??

[MC The Rapper]

The content of the music has a lot to do with it

 

[boss jay]

Ok so what do you call a 23 Year old who's favorite artist are Scarface, Nas, Jay-Z (Reasonable Doubt, BP1, TBA, American Gangster Jay), UGK, Ball n G, Pac, BIG, etc.., and feel Magic Johnson is da best player of all time? Older Artist; I Relate to them waaaaaay more than any artist 2day.

And for all yall saying yall dont like young catz that spit you REALLY need to listen to

Big Krit

J.Cole

Jay Electronica

Killer Mike

And da link below

TRUE LYRICISM and guess what they make their own tracks also, but you can tell all were influenced by "The Golden Era - 97 Era"

Trust Me I wouldnt put my ear on my age group for a loooooooooong time lol.

Im late 30's and I dont really care what "young cats" think. they are still in there mammas house, just barely outta there, college student scrimping buy or on the street trying to slang a few rocks. Best of luck to young dudes and all but THEY ARE NOT MY PEERS. so why should i be concerned what some youngsters think! they aint lived long enough to have a frame of reference. they the kids that be saying stuff like KOBE BETTER THAN JORDAN?? and they was like 5 when Jordan retired and never seen him play..

they the dudes will say Drake or Big Sean is the greatest thing they ever seen. too young and too ignorant to even know the significance of Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane.

let them young bucks grow a lot of there heroes are here today gone tommorow ni99as. the pioneers that i love (no homo) there names will live forever as legends!

You messed up with the Jordan being better than Kobe, Kobe is clearly better, but I see your point. Till this day, there's only a handful of rappers that can fuck with someone like Kane and it's not the JayZ, Biggie, Pac, or whoever the generic top rappers are. Kane and Rakim will shit on all of them easily.

30 years old is mad old

half your life gone

No homie, half YOUR life is gone. Take care of yourself and you will live way past 60. Bumping rap too!!

A cat who been makinga living off HIP HOP for 20+ years should be applauded...these new jacks would love to have that type of following....cats like G. Rap, rakim, kane can still put out albums without major promotion and do tour year after year because ofa solid fan base....and for he record....JORDAN - 6 CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS, 6 FINAL MVP's...kobe good and all...but come on son...he not seeing jordan..

 

[ICame4Pussy]

The average age on the I.C. is 12-16 so there's going to be a lot of Willie-Lynch.

There is a market for what I call adult-contemporary HipHop which is more mature and adult oriented compared to LiL B & Soulja-boy,..........

JayZ, Kanye, Rozay, Cube, Common, Mos Def, Kweli, Devin, Jadakiss, all have mature content that's free from skinny-jeans and glitter-Mohawks.

All the great rappers are 30+ so being old in HipHop just means you are have a 99% chance of being better than the rappers under 30.

WTF this nigga get this shit from

What i find bemusing though is this, how come we had the likes of Pac, Big, Nas, Rakim, all accomplished artists in their early 20's compared to the likes of Krit, Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Wayne, some of whom are good but not near that level.

I'll take it further...Rakim dropped PAID IN FULL at age 17....it's safe to say that he wrote most those rhymes around age 15-16....EPMD frst album them cats were 17-18....LL age 16 when he rreleased rock the bells....that's why i don't give these young emcees a past becaause all the legends were real young when they produced timeless albums....BRAND NUBIAn...the list goes on

I think the quality of alot of things have dropped since then. I think technology has alot to do with it. Its really hard to stay focused in this current generation.

twitter, the internet, cable TV, Xbox, this short attention span generation. I think back then dudes spent more time developing their craft. Where as now, its really hard to stay focused because there are all kinds of distractions and things to throw you off. How many people you know could spend 4 or 5 hours doing one thing without getting distracted. lol

Back then cats were looking to be considered the best emcee..now days its just a money game.......you were battling other emcees with the songs on your album to see who was the dopest......now it's just who can sell teh most cd's and make the most money...if a cat gotta make songs like 'this is why i'm hot'..they ain't got no shame

[CapitalC]

No one wants to listen to the same music as their parents, or be at the same party as them...I'm 23, if you're 38 you could technically be my dad/mom

 

[ibedamned]
