i aint sayin 40 aint old, and i aint sayin i appreciate or respect albums fulla features, but i wouldnt single out 40 for features with hot artists. who doesnt do that? ASAP Rocky did a song with Drake/2 Chainz/and Kendrick Lamar, then he did one with Skrillex. Sean Kingston got one with Chris Brown & Wiz Khalifa. Look at what DJ khaled do. and how many youngsters really lookin out for Pharrell? dudes featured on 2 big songs right now. 40's doin what everybody else is doin. its marketing. my daughters 14 and she's not what anyone would call a "bay rap fan". but she knows who 40 is cus 40 makes sure his name stays out there. as far as your fam sayin dude is garbage, theres nothin wrong with that opinion. im sure half the shit they listen to would be considered garb to the masses.
but i do agree that 40 should invest in a youngster. he aint gotta stop rappin, but he should also put somethin into a youngster who he truely believes in. but 40 been puttin acts out since the early 90's. they dont all make noise so he knows how it works.
