age is not really a good way to measure this. there are still kids that are dropping music. like Luh Tyler is 17 now but i'm pretty sure he started at 16 or younger. just that the market is saturated now, probably hundreds if not thousands of kids doing it right now.

rap is just saturated and i guess that's the sign of it being old.

someone needs to research rap's blow up because I swear the amount of Rappers selling 100k+ units of a SONG must have literally 10x'd in a single year around 2015/2016

damn we really all collectively lived through our own version of the 80s in 2010s, crazy it never occurred to me

which is why this thread is a non issue

somebody said that because ktt is a forum which is somewhat a thing of the past it naturally attracts people who spent a lot of time on the Internet and actually know what forum is. as a result everybody is slightly older here bc the real zoomers and alphas are on TikTok and twitter and whatnot

so I dont wanna hear anything from yall about age, start taking care of ur knees bredda

Okay?

And so am I so it's all good

"I only want art from children"

Future was 32 in 2015 cmon

the fact the big 3 all younger than future is wild to me. nigga old as s***

Maybe it’s getting old if you never stay up to date and let the game pass you by

Everyone I listen to is under 24 for the most part

Lil Baby has immature subject matter?

Chief Keef is 300 years old

Ban

Lil Baby is my age damn im down bad fr

Last Last was SOTY 2022 tho

ye, pusha t, jay, pharrell, lil wayne, others have been making music while still gaining a lot of attention forever atp.

We need a good rap beef/battle s*** too friendly these days

when i hear someone like jay z or future flexing on a song it makes it 10x better than when i hear someone like summrs talk about their leased sports car
theres always been a spot for older rappers i dont understand whats the problem

31 Savage

ice spice and glorilla are getting too old as well bro

Yeah s*** ages tf you expect. Rap has always been weird bout age. Wonder why other genres aren’t

again proving my point that you are trying to impose your own will and social standards onto others. who are you to tell somebody when they should settle down lol. And why does being single automatically mean that they aren't an active father... like who told you that? Are you really that self righteous? What if someone doesnt want to be a married in their 30's, or at all? It's equivalent to telling a woman who prioritizes career to go make babies and be a mom. It's so insulting and arrogant.

It's ironic that you are trying to lecture people on what they should make music about subject matter wise yet you talk like you have never traveled or experienced anything outside of your own bubble. Your arrogance is very american. get over yourself. and I'm willing to bet that these "club" rappers whom you look down on have done more for their communities than you probably ever will.

yikes
