The age is a referendum on their lack of success in battle rapping and easy picking for youngbloods looking for a win. I'm emphasizing battle rapping only, not rapping.
There's other and better-suited options such as ghostwriting, producing, hosting, studio ownership, etc.
Look at what happened to this cat when he returned to the scene only to be eaten by a younger, meaner, more talented rapper.
