Great point actually :psalute:
You think someone in their 40s isn't as mentally sharp as someone in their 20s?
On average a person in their 40's is definitely mentally sharper than they were in their 20's. Maybe not as creative. Now someone in the more advanced ages (60's, 70's)...
Yeah - you right. I forgot about punching in.
You think someone in their 40s isn't as mentally sharp as someone in their 20s?
Bad choice of words on my part. Generally speaking, no I don't. When it comes to rap though, I do think their skills begin to deteriorate at a certain point...just how like an athlete loses their ability (metaphorically speaking)
You're comprehension skills suck. The point is whether or not hip hop is growing up or not. In it's infancy, hip hop was consumed by the kids and R&B was consumed by the adults. Now fast forward to 2017, those kids are now in the age range that once consumed R&B (mature music with mature subject matter) and we're not supporting it. That's why I keep stressing the word "culture", but you keep dropping the ball in the comprehension department. I know Babyface is still making dope shyt, so is Big Boi (but you again ignored that part). But it's not selling. Hence, 3K's point. He can drop the same dope shyt as a hobby, a verse at a time, instead of making a corporate obligation out of it and still get the same results. Until the culture grows up, we'll constantly have the old head divide. But it don't seem like we're interested in growing up. Usher out here with a dye job imitating a 24 year old football player and Beyoncé out here cussing and being vulgar like she on a Nicki Minaj record....both placating to the youth. You're probably one of those cats that dress like your son. When I was a kid, I didn't dress like my father because there was a distinction in our age difference. But now, you have fathers out here in Jordan 11's right along with their 2 year old sons. We're not maturing as a culture, and the music is just a reflection of it. So again, the R&B angle was used to simply point out this isn't just a hip hop "music" issue.....this is a "culture" as a whole issue.
be real. most rappers who are still in it in their 40s are well past their prime.You think someone in their 40s isn't as mentally sharp as someone in their 20s?
most of his 90s peers been fell off.
In other genres you don't have fans clamoring for new music from older artist. So Hiphop is not any different in that regard. Those old rock bands are playing the hits from yesteryear
It's a fact that the longer you have been rapping the less the youth want to hear from you and the youth dictate what's popular
3k wants his music to be popular and felt throughout Hiphop but he doesn't want to do it by using current slang, production and flows to touch audience that make your music a big deal
The fact of the matter is that he missed his window
Snoop dropped an album this year and it could've been the greatest work of his career but Hiphop isn't going to care about it in 2017
Just like every young poster here talking about the older posters are
It's coming young brehs :peeumad:
You can't escape the
