2 Chainz fears for young artists' lives
30 Sep
Summary
- Young male rappers often lack guidance from father figures.
- Many new artists don't expect to reach their 30s or 40s.
- 2 Chainz shared his views on an episode of Keke Palmer's show.
Southern rapper 2 Chainz has voiced concerns regarding the prevalent risky behaviors among up-and-coming male artists. He believes a significant factor contributing to this is the absence of positive father figures to guide them through their careers and lives.
During a recent guest appearance on Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, 2 Chainz discussed the difficulties in mentoring young rappers. He noted that once artists achieve financial success or are actively pursuing it, they become less receptive to advice, especially if it's perceived as preachy.
2 Chainz, who published his memoir 'The Voice In My Head Is God' in March, reflected on the shift in street culture. He stated that in the past, hustling was meant to be discreet, but today's younger generation often lacks a sense of longevity, with many not expecting to survive into their 30s or 40s.
