he's early 40's for sure. he dont look it. but he dont look 40+ he relevant and there are people all over the world checking for him. real street music and musicains are like those blues dudes. they can actually give you better game on life and whats happening then a 22 year old who really aint never seen the world
forget whats on the radio. the real classics and most of these guys still rocking in their 40's have real songs written from the heart. if e-40 get grey he just gonna start spitting from the perspective of a grandpa thats stil game tight and done seen it all. and we still gonna buy it. if you out here trying to do something game related and your grandpa was one of the best to ever do it. you wouldn't want him to lace you?
This has nothing to do whats on the radio. so thats not even the issue or what im talking about. Lets be real i give forty props for what he done.
im bout to school you check this out.
not everybody can relate to being a hustler, pushing weight, driving fancy whips, putting holes in niggas, shaking that azz at the club, beefs (thats fantasy island tommy dreamer shit). a old azz rapper that looks old too would look so damn pathetic rapping about selling dope and being at the club especially when his medicad and aarp bout to kick in.
but everybody in the world can relate to deep topics like love, heart breaks, hardtimes in life, happiness, god etc bc everybody goes thru that. catch my drift?
far as this thread i say depending on the aging appearence is when they should cutoff. bc thats gonna look creepy for a 15 year old girl having a grandpa looking rapper poster up on her wall. image matters in rap more then any other genre.

thats a bad comparision too comparing a pimp to a recording artist if anything u was better off comparing a prostitute to a artist. but since u wanna use that comparision pimps always replacing hoes when they get old wore out & looking for new younger hoes to take under they wing. what does a pimp do to a hoe thats wore out, washed up and not making them bread anymore? get rid of her or have her keep track of all the younger hoes. so there u go
aint no "nobody" gonna be happy with just bringin some new cat up. that will not fill in the void of him wanting to be a rap artist. thats like an old lady tryna live her high school cheerleading dreams through her daughter.
do it for the love untill your 85 years old. thats cool. but we all know that mothafuckas want to get paid off rap. everybody thinks their shit is the hot new shit. be realistic in the sence that, and this has been discussed on this forum, rap is a young mans game. using "knowledge" to help someone else come up only means you was better at helping a rapper with a brighter future then you was of an actual artist. and the music industry has hella lotta tons to offer other than being the star of the show. but thats what every fuckin rapper wants to be. the star of the show. if not then wouldnt they start and stay in the back ground?
basically, everything you typed is about a rapper that couldnt make it as a rapper. thats my point.
Every song I make has the potential to make money and money doesn't care how old I am. I wish I would have made an effort to record more songs throughout the years because I have watched the money I make from music grow with my catalog. That's the advice I give anybody that wants to do music whether they are old or young. But obviously if a younger artist takes my advice they have a good headstart towards growing their catalog.
That was exactly my point! Bottom line is, not everybody is going to make it & that is something everyone should have in the back of their mind. I don't care how positive / confident you may be & how talented each person thinks they are. Or what their Homies within their circle are telling them. There is a strong chance that person is not going to make it. That's just the cold hard fact.
I do believe someone could feel satisfaction through someone you help guide. It's pretty much like a coach's frame of mind. He's out there supporting his team & wants a win. Perhaps he one day dreamed of playing in the NFL, but never made it, but he's still doing what he loves. And maybe one of his players makes it & has his coach to thank for it. I think that is realistic & something to be very proud of.
hip hop was born in 1977 its the youngest genre in music its not even 35 years old lets have this convo 25 years from now if u love music go ahead and record as long as you want and if your making money thats great are you gonna tell your mom to quit her job at 35 cuz she is to old man people got mouths to feed let them live
