Being older on a forum >> being 30+ wearing tacky outfits running around with whipped cream squirting out your breasts singing about plastic bags and working with rapists.

I mean... stones, glass houses all that.

Yeah I don't get the whole you are not allowed to be older on forums or social media where people communicate all the time.

I also don't get the whole being "young" on a forum and pushing goals to the side to focus on dragging pop stars using 10 years old receipts and tabloid fodder but I'm not here to judge.

There are some seasoned members here who don't have careers and do use this as a platform to breed negativity.

there are also posters like me who command 100k+, have established careers, owned property and use this as a place to voice opinions on pop culture.

I think that a "younger" person that would benefit from achieving life goals during the critical ages of late teens and early adulthood being in here doesn't necessarily make that choice a win.

Established and accomplished with wisdom, a point of view and a healthy check >>>> anything else.

Don't blame me because i stan for the winning team and just so happen to be on the winning team in real life.

I'm like the diamond albums of my faves...

Lil Wayne had a bigger peak certainly, but he was 2008-2011 (mess at the Gaga matchup).

Drake is 2010-2016, and doesn't look to be stopping or being Ke$ha'd into a contract where he can't ever put out an album again.

Eminem's sales this decade-13.6m

He's still the king, drake can be the prince tho

Lol no. Em had nice album sales, but Drake literally obliterates him in cultural relevance this decade.

No other rapper has been as dominant and culturally relevant as Drake this decade.

I'm glad I'm classy now.

Rihanna gave it that special touch though, the original is not as captivating.

The thought of being in your 30s and spending your time 'dragging' popstars on an online forum...

Just as sad as Meth's current mental state

Are you still up in arms about the fact that i called out Freddie prinze jr's beard for not being able to have 200M+ blockbuster movie grosses and the calling out the fact that her biggest grossing movie is Scooby Doo.

Rut Roh?

When a Scooby doo movie is the height of your commercial success.
And proudly stanning for that...

I'd say Lil Wayne was big since Make It Rain so since like 2007. The way I no longer even hear his singles anymore, let alone the only time I hear about him is because he's suing Birdman
He definitely is the 50 Cent of the late 00s minus the iconic hit.

I thought this was Shakira at first glance. Slay LatinGa.

[Notorious K.E.N]

In 2011, Tha Carter 4 outsold Take Care (his best seller) and had more hits. But yeah Drake is much bigger now and has more longetivity

I wish I had real issues to tackle.

Sometimes winning just makes you an easier target.
Rihanna and Britney prepared me for this

Straight outta 2010

I could never finish the song despite Nicki gracing it. Me, Myself & I might have just been a fluke.

I just went to box office mojo.

So sarah michelle gellar (beard of Freddie prinze jr) highest grossing movie was in fact Scooby doo and it was the only one to reach #1 on box office.

Rut roh?
And I need not say more

Hip-Hop seems to have a shorter commercial shelf-life than any other genre. Most rappers seem to only be very successful (or critically acclaimed) for ~5 years, and there aren't really any legacy acts making big money on tour (I suppose Jay Z is getting there, but it's kinda via Beyoncé). Lil' Wayne is one of many.

People want Drake to fail so bad.

he refuses.

I wonder what he could do if he had Nicki minaj type promo with his quality material.

True talk: views from the 6 HAS to be a classic or it might be downhill from here.

This is his moment to prove it.

He can't pull a Farter V, Stinkprint or digital abortion and serve basicness when he has something to prove.

You can literally say this about every genre though.
Rap isn't as mainstream as it was some years back and Drake is slowly becoming a tour act.
Apart from Pop and Rock n Roll artists, the other artists and not just rap are not big on touring either with exceptions of course.

BECAUSE URBAN MUSIC is at an all time low

Many pop stars can't make it past 5 years either but there are more superstars that come out of that genre than rap.

Rap has gotten so subpar that rappers who are not manufactured or kendrick lamar/drake struggle to make it past 3 years.

Timbabland said it best that there's no new hip hop stars which is why people still go up for Nas, Biggie, Tupac, Eminem and Jay z.

I KNEW something was going to fall out from the bottom when the gimmicky rap jingles of the mid 00s were selling and turning hip hop into a commercial joke.

Once that party rap/ringtone catchy hook rap thing took full effect in 2001-2005 the rap game was over.

Now you have Drake, Kendrick, J cole and a bunch of manufactured rap stars that either have a good year or two or have longevity but can't sell out tours or shift big units despite heavy promotion.

the mid 00s really did destroy the hip hop community

Not really. There are tonnes of pop, rock, jazz, electronic, r'n'b, country/western, and folk acts ticking away, putting out records and doing great business on the road.

Apart from Pop and Rock n Roll artists, the other artists and not just rap are not big on touring either with exceptions of course.

I'm not just talking about the likes of the Stones, the huge acts making hundreds of millions on tour. Like, there doesn't seem to be any rap equivalent to a Sleater-Kinney, or an Esperanza Spalding, or a Giorgio Moroder, or even a Cyndi Lauper or whatever. The only older rap acts that are even halfway relevant are businessmen or actors.

Maybe it's because rap is a relatively young genre, like how many of the '50s rockers were left in the dust when the revolutions of the '60s occurred.
