Jul 23, 2020 Eminem's mainstream career (1999-2020 - 21 years) is now older than rap's first mainstream hit was when Eminem blew up (1979-1999 - 20 years) The same amount of time has passed since The Carter III (2008-2020) as the amount of time between Tupac's death and The Carter III (1996-2008) Jay Z has put out 13 solo albums over the past 24 years - 10 of those were in the first twelve years, only 3 in the last twelve years 2 Chainz is (42) five years older than Lil Wayne (37). Lil Wayne's first studio album (1999) is 13 years older than 2 Chainz' first studio album (2012). The Notorious B.I.G. was just five months older than Eminem. He died two years before Eminems first major album. Lil Kim, Nas, and both members of Outkast are younger than Eminem. Ty Dolla Sign is five years older than Drake. 2 Chainz is older than the first mainstream rap song. feel free to post any others below!
Jul 23, 2020 Interesting and thought provoking. Here's two: -Grandmaster Flash is now 62, meaning he's eligible for social security benefits. -Rakim is the nephew of Ruth Brown, an R&B singer who first began appearing on music charts in the 40s and 50s
Jul 23, 2020 Something I think about a lot for some reason is that Tupac died 5 years after his first studio album which would be like if Drake died after NWST or Kanye died after 808’s and how much that would positively effect the way literally any artist is viewed
