Modern rapper names. Why you wanna be LITTLE?
« on: Sun, 07 April 2019, 19:31:45 »
Back in the day the only rappers with the word little/lil in front of their names were people like Lil Romeo or Lil Bow Wow, and you know why? Because they were like 14 years old. And yeah there were some exceptions like Little Jon who used the moniker ironically. But now every goddamn rapper under the sun has the word lil/little in their name. Some 25 year old dude with ****ty tattoos all over their face and hair that makes them look like some sprouting vegetable calling themselves little unironically is pretty ****in' sad and unoriginal.

But what I really don't understand is why do you wanna be little? You know what I think when I hear you call yourself Lil? I think 'lil house, 'lil car, 'lil money, 'lil ****.
Don't you wanna be BIG? Big house, big car, big money big ****?
I don't ****in' get it man.  :confused:

Even Jeezy dropped the young before his name these days.

But yes I think it is just the default rapper persona now is just be lil something, tattoos all over your face, and some sort of gimmick. It is low effort but it works so it'll keep happening till it stops working lol...

Could be indeed to suggest they're younger. Ageism is a thing in popular music. Tbf though Lil Wayne for example started when he was like 12 or something.

he should definitely drop the Lil, he looks like a 2000 year old ancient cursed skeleton.
