Em’s not my GOAT but agree on the second part. Tough to take these old rappers seriously when they’re rapping about shit they did (or saw someone do) 20-30 years ago. Marshall struggles because he was always edgy and that doesn’t work as well when you’re close to 50.
I guess rap can work well in old age if it’s more conscious but otherwise the genre is a young man’s game. [Reply]

Killer Mike would be a perfect example of an outlier.

The older I get(mid-thirties) and still enjoy dick and fart jokes, the less I find anyone cringe because of age and immaturity. Society tells us to "grow up", but why? If you find it funny, put it out there. Some might too. Be yourself, regardless of age. [Reply]

From His First Commercial Album :
1. My Name Is (His introduction to the Rap World in 1999)
From after He found fame and success
2. The Way I Am
3. Stan
4. Cleaning Out My Closet
5. Sing For The Moment
6. When I'm Gone
Post Drugs(and best friend dying) :
7. Going Through Changes
Bonus terrible song from his drug years, but it features your moniker
8. Rainman
Sing for the Moment is some of his best work, IMO [Reply]

I was attempting to give him a list of songs(minus the first one) that are somewhat thoughtful and maybe have rock undertones. Looking to maybe create a fan not scare him off. [Reply]
