^^^ WHATS THE DEFINITION OF LET THE YOUNG NIGGAS SHINE??? I REALLY WOULD LIKE 2 KNOW. IF THEY WORK HARD THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE BUT I CHOOSE 2 DEAL WITH THE OLDER CROWD CUZ THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOIN AND HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE BUSINESS. I KNOW WE ALL HAVE OUR OPINIONS BUT SAYING THE RAPGAME HAS AGE LIMITS IS STUPID 2 ME CUZ MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE MONEY PART OF THE GAME ARE GRANDFATHERS AND FEEL THE SAME WAY THE OLDER ARTISTS DO...AINT NOTHIN 4 FREE AND THE YOUNGER CROWD HAS 2 PUT IN SOME WORK AND PAY SOME DUES. I CANT SEE IT ANY OTHER WAY. I PUT ALL MY YOUNG NIGGAS ON BUT I ALSO LACE THEM ON THE BIZ SO THEY DONT HAVE 2 RUN AROUND LIKE CHICCENS WITH THEY HEADS CUT OFF. ITS A BUSINESS SAVVY MANS GAME...I DONT THINK IT HAS ANYTHING 2 DO WITH AGE AND I WAS A RAP FAN BEFORE I WAS A PROFESSIONAL RAPPER AND IF U ASK ME, THE NEW GENERATION MUSIC IS WAY 2 DIGITAL BASED AND NOT REAL MUSIC. I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY MONEY BUYING A BANDS MUSIC THAN SOME CORNBALL RAP SHIT AT THIS POINT. NOT SAYING THE YOUNG TALENT ISNT DOIN THEY THANG BUT IF U UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS, U WILL REALIZE AINT NO SUCH THING AS LETTIN THE NEXT NIGGA SHINE...OLD OR YOUNG...U JUST HAVE 2 BE THE BEST U CAN BE. THIS AINT SPORTS,ITS MUSIC.....AND SOME PPL ACTUALLY GET BETTER WITH TIME. 1
ok no problem lets chop it up and ill explain it a lil below.
You know well as everyone else its does have age limits its sorta like the pimpin & hoeing game. label gonna break a artists as much as they can then once the profit not there anymore they gonna drop em for the next one. like a pimp will put a hoe out there at 18(unless your young droop jk) bc its new fresh pussy but once that chick gets old and broke down nobody gonna want her and she will only be known for how she used to look or how clean that snatch used to look. rap genre unlike others is more of a young, flamboyant, flashy genre now more then day one. You dont see paul mc cartney, bono, phil colllins, tim mcgraw, britney spears, gene simmons, katy perry etc on worldstar or you tube videos flossing all they money and materials instead tehy make timeless music. unless you a power player in the industry there comes a time in all rappers life when they get old and not in demand by masses or even not relevant anymore. people gotta face it rap fans will turn on a artist once the next big thing arrive. that leaves them with three choices.. to either 1. hang it up go to the next chapter in life rather its a job, family life or expand the brand. 2. step out the spotlight into a behind the scenes position and put finance or knowledge to some youngsters(like a jay-z he maybe put out music every once in a while but he still responsible for careers of rick ross, j cole, young jeezy, Kanye West, riahnna, ne-yo to name a few.) i wasnt refering to you as age thing if you took it that way.
we talking about professional position right? bc thats what i was talking about. but far as a hobby rapper age not gonna matter bc most the time they not gonna be taken serious either.
