lmfao just go to rap/edm shows when it gets warmer, you bound to run into one

Afrika Bambaataa Type S***

if its not hiphop then whats the issue

pedophiles they are now using rage/hyperpop and discord/tiktok to get to kids faster

Shyheim was an underground teenage rapper in the 90s. Lil Cease, Lil Twist, and I think even Curren$y were all signed when they were in high school young rappers have been around forever

I was hating before but I get it now. Jay, Kanye, DMX, 50 Cent, Future all dropped their debuts when they were 26+ and they’re kinda gatekeeping people under 23 from blowing up or getting some kind of motion if they haven’t started already

Executive infant producer, Asahd Khaled changed the game forever

Unfortunately the barrier for entry into hip-hop has gotten low, along with the bar for quality, because of s*** like "Let people like things" or "Let kids be kids".

Can't write them all off I'm sure there's at least a few decent ones out there

if it dont apply ..

This is like the endless amount of YT videos featuring Young "11 Year old phenom basketball player is about to kill the NBA in a few years!!!" and its just a midpack

thought you were talking about baby rappers like lil baby, dababy, 42 dugg and baby smoove

@Mechanical

this being almost 10 years old is crazy

the first one has more of an effect cause now you got 40 year olds proudly bumping teen music which circles back to my point if I can’t look at buddy weird for listening to teenagers, what does that tell you they tryna normalize older people hanging out with kids…”to make music” yea…ight

Also applicable

redveil and MIKE the only ones that started off killin young

from Richard Linklater:

"This just is Hollywood. It’s cinema of this generation. … Gosh, I’m glad I’m not a kid now. Being a young person, let’s say 10 through 13... The only reason I went to movies was because they were all adult movies. You had to find your way into the movie. Now, we make films for twelve-year-olds. They’ve done a great job at convincing adults that those are good films. Just stay a kid forever. Keep reading comic books. That’s movies. They’ve just abdicated adult filmmaking and all its complexities, which includes sex. They’ve just tossed that out largely. That’s the studio’s game. They just thought it was probably more profitable to just make films for kids and the kids in all of us."

Personally ion know if I'd go that far with it

But I will say I've given some people in their early-mid 30s looks for getting excited over s*** like that Wynee girl. Not cause it's weird, but more that I know they've heard much better and I don't know why they think I'd be interested in hearing some lyrical miracle white girl.

Definitely didn't start with Millennials though, that's why we keep getting new Star Wars and had 10,000,000 40 year olds completely break our culture by crying that each new movie is too woke (aka different than it was when they were 8 years old). We're not producing anything new for the next generation, just rehashing the hits of the 1980's because Gen X wanted to play with their action figures forever

a popular older artist from the new gen had little kids calling their significant other exes as content for their show its a slippery slope all I’m saying cause nobody can a***yze without getting a “just stop watching/listening then” like that s*** just don’t stop being weird cause we stop talking about it lmfao

i had a friend who's currently 26 and was watching streamers and s***. i hated it. felt like he was trying to stay young and current. i'm too old for kai cenat.
