peace.

Ayite a few for now...


CL Smooth - American Me






Pete Rock & InI - Grown Man Sport






...there's several tracks off Talib Kweli's Gutter Rainbow (that I ain't feeling BTW) , and the Quakers album that refer to being Grown man Hip Hop.

I can't remember all of em, but I'm sure there are 20 or so other songs where the rapper specifically refers to "this is for grown ups not punk ass kids" (paraphrasing of course, but you get the drift)

what rap caters to grown men? examples, please.





peace.

First time I listened to Foreign Exchange the thought that this was some "grown man ish" really did pop into my head. The same goes for Phonte's solo outing "Charity Starts At Home:" talking about hard work, the work that a relationship takes, building/maintaining/sustaining a family (and family life)....

I just mentioned/posted about this album on here recently but that Akua Naru is some grown woman's shit. And to be completely honest, I don't think there's necessarily a difference between grown man's and grown woman's rap. Obviously hip-hop in general caters to the views and lived experiences of young men but I think that, as it seems you guys are suggesting, grown "people's" rap is few and far between nowadays so you might not find much haha!

In any case, that Akua Naru album is definitely worth peeping for serious, pensive and compelling subject matter.
