Being 19-26 is considered old?

Well.. being 26 aint old... but when we talkin about the YOUNGEST rappers being 26, i think its old. When 2pac, Ice Cube and snoop was new, they were younger...


BTW, Game is born in 79..

Well the youngest rappers I can think of are Bow Wow and Jibbs, and they are both not even 20 yet.

He was born in either '84 or '85.  He was about 18/19 when he dropped Philafornia in 2003.

There's some truth to this...I mean, most of the rappers from my generation were barely into their 20s when they got started.  Look at Ice Cube being 19 when "Straight Outta Compton" came out, for example.  Pac was 20 when he put out "2Pacalypse Now", Nas wasn't quite 21 when "Illmatic" was released, and most of Bone Thugs weren't even 20 yet when "Creepin On Ah Come Up" came out.  Nowadays, it does seem like a lot of new cats in the game are over 25, some even close to 30 when they first come out.

Oh yeah, and Game was born in 1979, not 1980.  It says so in his official bio (the one that was on the Interscope site for a while).

What's really crazy is that wasn't Pac only 25 when he died? And he had more of career (before he died) than almost anyone of the people mentioned in this thread. Not to mention the career of his after his death, in which I feel like he's put out MORE albums than when he was alive.
