Why are old school rappers selling out tours while new school struggle?

[Will Ross]

Older people got more money and nostalgia.

1. older acts are better performers

2. old school fans are more into the show. It's a trip down memory lane. Newer fans use it as an excuse to clout chase and post where they are on the gram to stunt on everyone.

Everyone mentioned in that article are superstars, they’ll always garner a crowd.
The other 98% are performing at hookah lounges and dive bars
Or they do the mega package all-in-one old school tours that’s been going on for years
With KRS, Rakim, Kane, Slick Rick, EPMD, Salt n Peppa, etc

We know why.

Younger rappers don’t even have real fans. These dudes have people listening to them who don’t even know who they are, but know their song. Older rappers have loyal fanbases. Who are willing to actually pay to see them. You can't even get younger listeners to pay for a damn Spotify subscription. They're definitely not putting up bread for show tickets. They ain't got it.

1. New artists don't have enough artist development. Most of em aren't organic

2. Younger rappers aren't taking the craft seriously. They wanna make Fast food music rather than Soul Food.

"Old school" as not only individual acts, but as an era and media environment, had an entire investment matrix propelling them... the effects of all that coverage and money still hasnt expired

All that money clearly gone today. They just throw these random unfunded guys out there to see what can serve an algorithm. Unfortunately, it makes sense... when their entertainment competition is someone sittin in a room opening toys and eating candy or some other shyt (their advertising capacity is amazing and it costs nothing... which is what alot of entertainment is about) why put up money

Imagine what a stadium full of young nikkas mumblin through an NBA Youngboy set would even sound like...you might legit think it's a gathering of retarded people for scientific study.

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Because the younger fans weren't groomed to support the artist the way older generations were.

Does this even need to be explained???

 

[H.J.Duck]

Do these mumble/autotune "rappers" even perform live, or just yell over their own songs? What's the point of performing live if you can't rap or sing without autotune?

 

[thernbroom]

Probably because they have a catalogue but also lil baby may not sell out a arena tour while a old rapper might sell out a tour but he's performing infront of 2k every night , what are we comparing here
