The Dark Side of Fame | Rules To This Sh!t

For some artists, fame is a necessary evil; for others, fame itself is the devil. And in the modern music industry, young artists can achieve rapid fame overnight. There’s clearly a danger in getting too much too soon and history has shown that some careers can be destroyed by it.
As part of Complex's Get Money initiative, the eight-part series "Rules to This Sh*t" covers the trials and tribulations of embarking on a rap career, with words of wisdom from Common, N.O.R.E., Too $hort, the late Nipsey Hussle, and more.

This ish is backwards, it the older generation that neglects the younger generation

[@jessymangala78]

Naah

[@kaizersolze]

That doesn't make sense. The older generation has nothing to gain or lose by neglecting the younger generation. The younger generation has everything to gain by listening to the older generation and everything to lose by not listening. It's the same reason why all of your teachers have been older and/or much more experienced than you. With age comes wisdom.
