    Started rapping in 7th grade. Always loved it but didn't see or believe how I could make it a career. Went to college got a job. Not perusing music was my biggest regret. Decided to get back to it at 31. The regret ate me up more than anything else. I couldn't live with the what if. I'll be doing this till I can't. If you have doubts keep pushing!

    That's what I said to myself. If I wasn't established by 30 I'd pursue something else. My mother got Alzheimer's around that time and I became a caregiver for about 7 years before she passed. I regret placing that limitation on myself and realize it was not real. After my mom passed I had matured way more and had more wisdom and real topics to get off my chest. Hip hop is a grown up 50 year genre now and is not just for kids anymore. You just have to adjust your message for the adults in the culture. If established artists are still performing at 45/50 years old there's no age limit.

    This is why you can’t let others project their reality on you. For HIM, he may be too old to rap. When your maturity level is still stuck in your 20s then yea he right, don’t want to see a 40 yr old trying to be 20. But if he was talking about some grown man ish then imo the culture needs that. We need more MEN and WOMEN leading the way, not kids. But we been conditioned, and it’s so toxic. And imo he embodies that toxicity and mindset that holds us as a people back!! I said what I said!

I been a street hustler and had jobs like Janitor, Aircraft Structural Mechanic, Computer Tech, etc. Sure I made more money in all of those things that came and went, but I'm still rapping at age 60. Curtiss I wonder what percentage of Gillie's success can be attributed to Wallo, and maybe instead of telling older rappers to hang it up he could recommend they find someone like Wallo to assist in their career. If interested I have music on my channel from the 1980's - 2020 and I'll be dropping a new album soon as well. Best of health, happiness and success to you all. - Imp the Great

    This is genuinely one of the most important videos iv watched this week. Pretty awesome to see that I'm not the only one with this passion that just won't die even after I tried walking from it, or tried burying it for years coz a 9 to 5 was a safer option.
    I'm glad I have the ability to take care of my family financially... But honestly, my 9 to 5 provides structure and stability (something I'm really greatful for)... But music is medicine for my soul.
    I'm only 29 so In a way that doesn't sound too bad...I can take care of Family, so now it's time to just do this thing for me.

    I'm going to put this out here...BP have a limited view of what, when, where, why, and how success happens. One person's success is another person's failure. The 'rap' demographic of people think between 18 and 25 is it and that's it. You don't see this idea in Pop, Rock, Dance, or other genres of music. Rodney Dangerfield didn't find 'success' until he was in his 50s. Everybody's time is different, experiences different, and that's why not everyone is someone you should listen too. I like their podcast, but their views are limited to their world and what they have experienced. Don't let someone make your destiny, create your own path, and stay committed to what you desire to be.

    Some thoughs:
    - Using a platform to boost you up and only then get listeners can be good or bad, the bad side is having influencers being rappers and also creates a dependency on the original platform.
    - Too old is a case by case thing, some people do pop off 'old' and others aren't really poping because they simply lack a any of the fundamentals things necessary for success, (talent, marketing, connection with people, relatability, charisma, or whatever else) in this last scenario it's possibly that focusing on something else could be better for that person but it's always messed up to say "Hey man, give up on your dream" even if often, that's the reality.

    I had this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. And the conversation it was said "i cant be doing this rapping when I'm 50". I thought that was totally insane, because think about it, you spend your whole life to get to a point where you're doing what you love for a living, you don't want to do it for the rest of your life? WILD. If you don't feel comfortable rapping about the things you're rapping about when you're 50 as you are when you're 30 you should probably reconsider the music you're making. Because people grow out of music and they grow up, I would rather make music my listeners grow into than grow out of. The songs that I I've shared with the public I would be perfectly happy performing them 30 years from now

    2: Have a 100 year vision, plan & develop it. It doesn't matter if you do not live to see it happen in the end! It should be bigger than YOU and inspiring from ones soul to other souls.
    3. Writing, publishing, audio books, voice overs, commercials, acting, hosting, teaching, performing, merchandising etc.

    If it wasn't for me being introduced to making music by way of rapping I would have never found my way into music production. I feel that anyone who wants to "rap" should be reasonable with what they decide to rap about. Like you said it would have been delusional of me to have my daughter in the middle of me grinding to learn how to produce and continue to pursue becoming a better music producer by ignoring my responsibilities as a single father. Do I look at myself becoming a rapper, NO. Do I look at myself becoming a multi-platinum producer maybe? I'm I gonna be constantly in the studios late nights trying to be in the clubs with people here and there? Hell No. I have to find another way to brand myself and spin my ability to create a potential "business" with music for myself another way and as of now, thanks to social media and RUclips I can still do that.

    Since most people can make the music from home and not need the industry to support them there is no age limit. An independent artist can make living in Hip Hop just as long as they don't expect to be played on radio or get any mainstream recognition.

    These rappers turned podcasters are showing their true colors. They never had the passion. If the passion is in you, you will always have it in you.

    Yeah that's def cap man... it's def his opinion manand def not gospel but to me it's reckless man. It's almost an old dated mindset when it comes to it bro.. I have several friends in their late 30's and even 40's doing this still. One guy i know personally and have done production for has over 20+ albums, works independently and has albums he's done for sync ONLY which pays bro.. I ain't all about being a superstar doing this but about doing what you love and still being able to eat from it. Like i've told my son (who is in his early 20's), everybody ain't gonna be a superstar because like in basketball, their enough spots on the team for that. You have to figure out what roll you want to play on a team.. what is succss four YOU and what that looks like for YOU because for each level of success, there is a certain level of work, dedication and sacrafice to get to whatever level you think success looks like for YOU. Alot of the opportunities that artist have today didn't exist when Gillie was coming up in the game so in order to do ANYTHING for real, you had to "blow up" but it's not the same these days so the mindset of success and levels thereof change. Just my 2cents bro. Good stuff as always sir.

    Rap is wrap so what is the present inside the box. It's a huge genre. You don't necessarily need to sale records or do shows. Rap and hip-hop is like bread it goes great with a lot of things. You feel me.

    I am 42 I LOVE to RAP because I’m naturally a poet so what I did was to become an Author and I have seven bestselling books and they’re poetry. I also created a podcast on one of the books and I feel fulfilled and I am still gonna release new music. #nevertooold 🙏🏾🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

    Also, because we have the ability to put our on music out I feel that anybody has the ability to be a part of whatever music entity they want. Pete and Bas have set the example in my opinion for setting the tone. It is what it is.

    I believe for the most part if you're a rapper that's chasing the "young & reckless" demographic who's mostly concerned with partying and having fun it is possible to win in that realm like 2 Chainz did but it will be a big fight and may look a little off due to you trying to keep up with a younger mindset as trends & the world changes. That demographic is best suitable for younger rappers but if you're an older rapper that's rapping with substance or real lyrical ability more like a Ransom, Griselda, RJ Payne ETC people won't give a fuck if you was 100 years old because in that world of Hip Hop is where age has never and will never matter. That's where "Skills Over Politics" lives forever. The most a hater can say at that point is "yeah that nigga damn near old as planet earth itself but he can outrap damn near everybody on planet earth too"

    HipHop is 50 years old. It's old enough to have older fans. So it's definitely old enough to have older artist. Older rappers are the next frontier. We've already had 50 years of parties, bad decisions and the come up. Time for something new.

    When you think about it, older rappers are a lot better story tellers because they have more to speak on; they can take the art to a higher level. If you on some "up in the club" type ish and you're in your late 40s, then yeah put the mic down.

    I think this is the problem. Rap music has to grow up, Older artists have a more grown-up game to give. This is why the youngster can't grow either.. Cause the music still young. And capped at a age group
