JID is big for the type of music he makes. More of an internet sensation with the "purer" rap fans. It's not like he's ever made a hit in line with anybody in the OP. He's not a hitmaker thus far.
It plays a role sure, but to still hold onto this idea that rap is a young man's game is false.

All dropped their albums that propelled them into major attention when they were in their late 20s, like 27-30 years old, and have been enjoying the fruits of their labor well throughout their 30s.
Yes there are rappers who start young and see success throughout their early to mid 20s. But to act like being older automatically disqualifies you is pretty ridiculous. If you make good music people are gonna f*** with it regardless, only thing that changes is how you're marketed and to who.
S***, artists like Frank Ocean and Drake didn't really start blowing up on a superstar level til they were 25. It's not old of course, but nobody is looking at a 25 year old as some sort of young hot shot. They're an adult.
The only thing age disqulafies you from is making immature music and engaging in the antics that younger rappers do. If you love the artform and have something to add to the culture you'll be accepted regardless.
Do you hate him now that he’s an old man?
Nah i love him the same he just always seemed younger to me
Mid to late 20s Rappers coming into the game having more life experiences to rap about and not as involved in the buffoonery as the young rappers.

I definitely agree with this. Niggas in their later 20s would have more interesting s*** to rap about than a lot of niggas that are 18-25.

I make a 6 figure salary, drive a porsche, own two properties and am set to retire at 45. So, probably better than JIDs
