young mayo – 19 shit .. i been bullying a child .. my bad mayo !! sorry homie !!

now i did not know that Marshall was 36 … 36 and he is bringing out a diss track to mariah and nick .. saying things like .. i will blow up your whole spot .. and he is 36 ?? wow .. thats now put some things in perspective.. hey i dont dislike dude but cum on !!

and REDMAN 39 ?? no shit .. these years sneek up on us dont they .. i think we as hiphop community take artists music material for granted .. like they put something out .. dudes bang it for a week , and then there like fuck i wont more , more more more !! this or that nigga needs to drop more shit .. ? and not take the time to fully digest and understand the album or material they have been supplied with ….
i still bang shit from 1992 , man i had NEWYORK NEWYORK on the other day from the Doog pound in 1994 ..

very interesting mecca !! props

agreed .. but subject matter has to mature as they mature and get older ..or they are not really going to be taken seriously . …. i think even if they are 40 they still have imprortant things to convey and lessons to teach to the listeners..

but if its all gangster ,drugs and bitches then …its time to hang to mic up !!

People never consider this. Niggas keep talking all that “fell off” shit.I will agree some did, but for the most part niggas grew up and matured. That’s why I never mind niggas saying shit about Jay. Dog, he’s a grown ass man, wtf does he look like still rapping like a younngin talkin all this thug shit? Quite franky, 50’s bitchass is starting to get too old for that shit too. But it’s the only thing he can hold onto. niggas won’t admit it but his image is what sells his music, so ultimately, It’s how he gets by in the music world. Cuz you know like I know that his non-thug material is ass compared to the gangster shit he puts out.

Wrongdiarrhea is a 50 Stan, nearly every fucking time you comment on something you bring out 50 name. Angry he dident answered you letter? Cut your fucking wrist.
Nobody is going to stop listening to an artist because they reach a certain age. Fuck I’m never going to stop bumping to rap or hip hop even if I don’t will have the same interest in listening to a 20 year old kid when Im an old ass nigger walking whit a cane. People will stop listening to artist when they don’t generate enough interest.

If they retire what should they do?
Work at Wal-Mart?
Maybe flip burgers?
Start a record company and watch people download music.

They are artist they try to stay in the game as long as possible, the smart ones invest, some just live their life and the dumb motherfuckers go broke. I bet when you are 39 like jay you still be internet thugging and blogging.

wrongdiarreha?? thats week like 7 days .. so you 16 mate ?
are you 50’s defsounds bodyguard chap ?

your missing the point .. its not if they are rpping at 40 , its what there rapping about bozo … how can someone find music enjoyable and/or belivable if they are talking about riding out and fucking niggas up with the 12 gauge etc etc .. like mature your lyrics whit your age dawg .. the gangster shit is played out enough by the young cats .

@ darwin
I find it hard to believe you’re actually 30. Cuz you don’t harbor the intellegence that I would expect of a person of your(supposed age)I really don’t need to elaborate on the point since the 2 people above me already said what I was about to.lol

I just can’t figure out why dumb niggas always wanna respond to me with halfassed logic.smh

it don’t matter how old a rapper is, if he still raps to calibre he always has, (Nas for example) then fuck it, he’s makin good music. its just wierd to listen to the old skool shit after the new skool tracks… a lots changed in style but the lyracism has remained.

Too old is when you cant spit it no more. Too old is when niggas sound tired on a record instead of fresh and energetic. I dont look at age on the mike, i look at performance. (krs one will still RIP ANY yungin in the game today at a live show with no gimmicks and explosions! Same thing with method man and busta rhymes!)
Vintage niggas have always trumped the yungins. The yungins follow trends, Vintage rappers set trends.

To sum it all up: youre too old when you THINK youre too old.

Eva Mendez- 35

Jennifer Lopez- 40

Halle Berry- 43

Allysa Milano- 38

Sanaa Lathan- 38

Talent, Beauty, Brains and Mic skill have no expiration date.

If there is a more creative or original artist in this game than Redman I would sure like to know who it is.

Maybe if the younger generation actually came with some kind of new skill that actually filled in the void then I would say maybe Scarface should retire.

But Id rather listen to my favorite rappers in wheelchairs than try to superman that hoe.

^^^Some people refine and improve with age.

You can only hope to be where Im at when you touch 30 baby boy.

But I wish that you do even better young nigga. Because you are the future of our culture. And appreciation of the classics that made it possible for the new jacks in your shoes to even have careers in this shit are the true innovators of the music you base your style on.

Wrap your mind around that one lil nigga.

How old is Ice-T I kno He Like Da Oldest In On Da West Coast
replyReply | 2 props | propProp | trashTrash
blowxxme7 days ago
Ice-T is actually like 50

He dosnt get the credit he should but thats the nigga right there that truly pioneered the hustlein & pimpin rap. Him and Too Short were doin it back in the mid 80s before even Run DMC got hot.

He was one of the first niggas to fuck with Pac.
He won a Grammy back when rappers didnt get Grammys.
Jay-Z song “99 Problems” is a remix of Ice-Ts original hit


Ice-T deserves his own god damn blog.
