I stopped seriously rapping at 30 but I make beats now. Tbh ain't no money in either compared to the old days. BUT just because your not making millions off rapping doesn't mean you can't have a successful career. Plenty of battle rappers, underground thousandaires, people you make sync licensing music for TV shows and movies. We tend to think success in extremes and that's not what success is. And there's nothing wrong with being a older rapper, the genre is 50 years old so there are plenty of older fans that don't want to hear mumble rap or killing music.

I think an independent artist in 2023 has to be more of an entrepreneur than just talent. Charleston is right in the sense of…you need a brand, a personality, and a business acumen to match the talent. Also, alotta niggas wanna be more famous than they are successful. Those two things are not the same. The business is complex, but I think it’s possible. Keep goin, stay persistent. Nothing happens overnight. Good luck to everyone.

This is true. You need to know when to throw away the towel. One door closes, but many others open. Be adaptable and try out new opportunities. Being a musician or entertainer in general is a young man's / woman's game. It's just the way it is. However, you can still be a music producer, producing for other artists. You can create your won record label, be a manager, A&R Executive, etc.

Why is everything about money and becoming famous? I’m not a rapper but I still have the logical sense to know that rap is a form of art that people enjoy doing. Some people do it for a hobby because they really enjoy doing it, they are not doing it to be notice or for financial gain. Just like you can have a passion for many other things like sports, writing, acting and so on, don’t mean you are looking to get paid for it.

Im 31 still make songs here and there its just a talent I was given. Of course I've notice Im starting to fade and not have the motivation anymore. I have a career I worked for 10 years now so the rap is just a hobby I do on the side. Who wouldn't want make money doing something they like and not work for someone else tho? I dont know If my music will get big but I dont wanna work and retire at 65 that aint living. I have 300 to 400 songs I think by now, maybe better to make beats now.

Out the trap dealing with family issues, divorces, love lessons they learned etc. rap is the only genre of music that has an age limit.

Record Labels dont encourage older rappers because by that age you're not as naive and quick to sign anything they put in front of you. Now I do agree at some point if music doesnt work perhaps the skills and knowledge you picked up along the way can be useful in a different avenue. But I feel like that older model of the music industry wont change until someone of that age blows up and changes it. All it takes its one person to make it and it changes everything.

The CRAFT needs more rappers who add Wisdom to the culture with SKILLS. CW's opinion is based on an outsider thinking HIP HOP is about clout, money, gimmicks and fame. You can still be ALL about your business and still have success rapping. *Griselda *Money Man *Larry June A few names of successful rappers over 30 who give NO F*CKS about people judging them by their "age". Charleston... YOU would be wack at rapping. When you TALK people feel you. When you rap it would probably sound like a parody. Either their songs are GOOD or they aren't. Every rapper at EVERY age needs to be realistic with themselves, so I'll give you help Charleston doesn't have the GIFT to give you. If YOU play your music and NEVER hear anybody say "Play that again." You need to either get better or quit. That's right. I don't care if your hustle makes you successful eventually. We DON'T need any more wack rappers who sound the same with no SUBSTANCE in their music FEMALE RAPPERS included. The next person who will blow up knows they need to do the OPPOSITE of what CW is talking about because THAT'S THE POSITIVE SHIFT WE NEED and only NEW WAVES stand out among the rest.

He speaking the truth. He not saying quit your dream of rapping, but let's be real, if you in your 30's and up, got a kid on the way, you gotta be realistic and get a job to handle your responsibilities. In other words don't just have a dream to rap without working on the side to at least pay your bills and feed your kid and keep a roof on your head, or your just gonna be going in the studio bumming it in other people house saying " When I get signed we gonna be set for life!". (Meanwhile your child is in a room of a random person house crying cause he or she is hungry and now you gotta come up with another plan to beg for money and saying when you "make it" that you gonna pay them back🤦)

If rapping is your true passion the don't do it for the money/fame. If you really love something you don't just give up just because you encounter a speed bump.

I only agree with him in the sense that you shouldn’t make it your only dream in life I have a brother that wanted to be a music artist and has a degree and he never used his degree to get a cool good paying job to at least help fund his music dreams and doesn’t use his other talents at all. He could’ve been a lawyer but just can’t let go of that rapper dream after turning 30, which 30 isn’t old but he refuses to start pursuing more than just music and it’s really sad because he was blessed with so many other talents and gifts. Dont quit your dream but dont make it your only dream, be open to exploring your other passions in life if one doesn’t work out

I highly encourage any artist in this comment section to keep going fuck what dude is talking about if you got it then you got it age has nothing to do with it what most of these “industry people” aren’t going to tell you is number one Music is spiritual and the business is extremely demonic in order to be a household name you have to get down with the program and participate in “friendly” activities in order to see success it’s all about influence connect the dots you got artists that are whack that are catapulted to the top they be in all the parties all the secret meetings ritual gatherings etc you name it and then there are artists who we feel should be bigger but the choice is there’s to cross over either way everyone sells out there are different levels to doing it and witchcraft is heavenly influenced in the business music is spiritual dawg same thing in the heavens who was in charge of music, the devil right? Why did he get casted out of heaven and took 1/3 of angels with him? Because he tried to trick Jesus out of position and Jesus wasn’t going for it and another thing notice at these award shows they never thank “Jesus” specifically they always say I just wanna “Thank God” they refer to Lucifer (The Devil) as God you can’t even say Jesus in any of those Hollywood contracts it’s so much more information to spread but I just wanted to touch Basis on that God bless y’all you can believe it or not but this is the honest truth everybody ain’t going to heaven that’s in the entertainment industry bro especially if they don’t truly repent look at the video with Suki when she was talking about selling her soul this is real life and it’s not worth it if you take your goals and dreams serious you can really make it without compromising yourself a lot of these celebrities wish they had regular lives again oh yeah to not join any organizations or groups also is in the Bible as well wake up fam and wake others up too yeah some of the music be dope but listen closely to them lyrics and pay close attention to the videos as well Lil Uzi ft Young Thug - Up …is a dead giveaway Doja Cat - Demons is another one Shensea - Run Run, Lil Wayne Drake, Future - Love me Beyoncé - Haunted Katy Perry - Dark horse and those are just to name a few… don’t matter if the message is positive or negative they all work for the same people the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making people think he didn’t exist c’mon now!

It’s a young mans sport but an old man’s business . Baaaaaars🔥

That's why I make beats, u can sell the same beat for $30 over and over and that's just to lease it. U have to pay that every year and split royalties unless u have a contract saying otherwise.

@@eddierosario1537 not in the long run, beside I have a hustle, I NEVER have depended on music for money

Charleston on point with this one. Juicy J been doing the same thing since the 90s and it’s still working

Shawn like you nd 2 chains the same age that’s crazy 😂😂😂😂

You can succeed if you have enough talent and know how to sell yourself and navigate a lane.

Being a millionaire nowadays really isn't impressive or that much money.

This is the modern Simon from american idol

Been telling the young and old hip hop is a one gimmick after another no real talent are real labor

Rappin pays big time

Ion think the fans get enough credit 😂 imagine spending your money to go to see someone and they call you broke 😂..no fans no money 🙅‍♂️💰

Ima rap my way out the hood … 💯

Jayz 2chainz Ross Plies Da baby Most artists don’t pop off rip that’s why they say it don’t happen over night, it happen once you make that hit.

I was talking to my cousin bout this. I had to remind him about Susan Boyle.

Money Man & Icewear Vezzo the only 🥷’s that blew up in they 30’s…2Chainz been having record deals since Playaz Circle was signed to Ludacris! 🎯💯

But most rappers that blew up in their late 20s to 30s because they been in and out of jail like Maino who was 35 when he first came out and I was surprised how old he was 😂

Plies blew up in his 30’s!!! 💯🤷🏾‍♂️

It's not even about money really. It's art. A form of expression of oneself. I'm an aspiring creator and animator, who aren't exactly known for being well off financially, but I love it. Never give up on your dreams, folks.
