(Newswire.net — July 1, 2020) — For many years hip-hop was considered not just simple music but also a philosophy and a genre with a certain message. The origin of hip-hop is the city Bronx. Mostly young people began creating their own music, with fantastic rhythm and meaning. After some years, hip-hop started to gain popularity and became a separate genre of music using different promotional tactics for rappers. Today, hip-hop is one of the most popular genres. There are talented artists from all over the world, who always amaze us with great songs.
Popularity Among Young Generations
Hip-hop became very popular, especially among young generations. The first most famous hip-hop artists were in their 20s when they started rapping. For example, legendary Tupac Shakur released his first album when he was 20 years old. Although he is dead, today’s generation continues listening to his great hits. Another great hip-hop artist is Eminem, who started rapping since his teenage years. For some time, he was not active. But recently, he surprised his fans with great hits.
And, at first, it was hard to imagine that people after their 30s would become hip-hop artists. But nowadays a lot has changed. There are a lot of talented and famous rappers who are in their 30s and 40s. Most of them have shifted the music industry, and are a big part of hip-hop history.
Older Generation and Hip-Hop
As it was mentioned before, nowadays there are not only rappers from younger generations but also from older generations. A great example is Jay-Z, 50, Kanye West, 43, Snoop Dogg, 48, and many more great hip-hop artists. They are not only creating famous hits but also some of them have their own labels. For example, Jay-Z has a label called Roc Nation, where different talented artists are included. So they are not only creating music but also helping others to reach their dreams.
Many artists, like Jay-Z, started their careers when they were very young. And many would not expect that they will continue their career as a hip-hop artist for so long. But the reality is that they continue releasing albums and creating music. Two years ago, Jay-Z even went on a tour with his wife, Beyonce. And during every concert, the crowd was singing his popular songs and enjoying his art.
Another example is Kanye West, who released his “Jesus is King” album last year. So it doesn’t matter from which generation you are. If you have a message to deliver to your audience, you can create hits in every age.
Conclusion
It is logical that in the 90s, hip-hop artists were very young. The explanation is that hip-hop as a genre developed in the 70s. And that is why the artists were mostly young. But today the world offers an enormous amount of opportunities. There are so many resources and so many talented people to reach popularity. You can find so many tactics that assist artists on their path to the top. Streaming promotion, social media promotion, and posting articles about musicians in music blogs are three pillars of hip-hop music promotion. So, it doesn’t matter if you are young or not. The only thing that you need is to have a rhythm and a story to tell. And if you combine these two, you will have magnificent results.
