Top 10 Rappers Who Refuse to Grow Up

You know those rappers who are in their late 30s and early to mid-40s, and in some sad cases, even their 50s, yet still act as if they are in their 20s? It can be cringe-worthy to watch.

This list is for them.

The Top Ten

  1. Boosie Badazz

    Torrence Hatch, born November 14, 1982, is an American rapper from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He released his first independent album, Youngest of the Camp, in 2000, followed by For My Thugs in 2002. He collaborated with Webbie on two albums, Ghetto Stories (2003) and Gangsta Musik (2004).... read more

    Bro, Boosie is 100% a prime example of someone who never fully matured or grew up. His behavior on Instagram and the way he talks in interviews prove it.

  2. 2 Chainz

    Tauheed Epps, known by his stage name 2 Chainz and formerly Tity Boi, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia. He began his career in the southern rap duo Playaz Circle with Dolla Boy before launching a solo career. He is known for songs such as No Lie, Birthday Song, Spend It, It's a Vibe,... read more

  3. Plies

    Algernod Lanier Washington, better known by his stage name Plies, is an American rapper. He is known for singles such as "Shawty," "Hypnotized," and "Bust It Baby," which blend melodic hooks with street-themed lyrics. His debut album The Real Testament was released in 2007, followed by Definition of... read more

    This guy is just a walking embarrassment at this point. Still with the fake goon persona, even after he was exposed by Jamie Foxx, and he keeps trying to act like he's still in his 20s and thinks he's going to make a comeback.

    Dude, it's not going to happen.

  4. Juicy J

    Jordan Houston, better known by his stage name Juicy J, is an American rapper and record producer from Memphis, Tennessee. He co-founded the hip hop group Three 6 Mafia in 1991 along with DJ Paul and Lord Infamous. Juicy J is also the younger brother of rapper Project Pat.... read more

    Bro, Juicy J will probably still be rapping about strippers shaking their booties in his face even as a 75-year-old man.

  5. Slim Thug

    Slim Thug gained mainstream attention for his feature on the hit single "Still Tippin'" by rapper Mike Jones. The track also featured Paul Wall and became a major success in 2004, helping popularize Houston's hip-hop scene. Slim Thug went on to release his debut album Already Platinum in 2005.

    Look, I love Big Thugga's older music, but the dude's subject matter really hasn't evolved much at all over the years.

    Not only that, but how many albums can he make with essentially the same title? "Boss Life", "Thug Life", "Hogg Life", "BIGslim" - at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see "Big Boss Thugga" or even "Big Thugga Slim."

  6. Drake

    Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor from Toronto. He first gained public attention as an actor on the Canadian series Degrassi: The Next Generation before launching a music career. Drake's become one of the world's best-selling... read more

  8. Future

Recognized for his mumble-styled vocals and prolific output, Future is credited with pioneering the use of Auto-Tuned melodies in hip-hop and trap music. Due to... read more

  9. Eric Bellinger

    Eric Bellinger Jr., born March 26, 1986, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from Los Angeles, California.

    He is best known for his work as a songwriter, writing for artists such as Chris Brown (most notably "New Flame"), Usher ("Lemme See"), and Justin Bieber ("Right Here").... read more

    Okay, so he's "technically" not a rapper, but I just had to include him on this.

    This dude is literally a 40-year-old married man who is still singing about casual hookups and "side chick diets." That, combined with the fact that his voice still sounds like a teenager, makes him more than worthy of being on this list.

  10. Lil Wayne

    Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" Williams at a young age and signed to Cash Money Records, where he became one-quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. He later founded his own label, Young Money Entertainment, signing artists such... read more

    11. The Contenders

  11. Pusha T

    Terrence Thornton, better known by his stage name Pusha T, is an American hip hop recording artist. He is a member of the hip hop duo Clipse alongside his brother No Malice. Pusha T has also served as president of Kanye West's GOOD Music label and released several critically acclaimed solo albums.
