Young is the New Lil

This isn't "new" in a sense but I felt like pointing it out and seeing if anyone agrees with me.

It seems as though "Young" or "Yung" is the rap world's new "Lil". Back in the day (but still pretty current as well) every new rapper coming out was named Lil so and so. Lil this, Lil that, Lil whatever Lil whoever. Nowadays it seems like the new thing to do is be a Young so and so, or if you are really creative a YUNG so and so. Are rappers just lazy and uncreative or is there something I'm missing?

Check it out, here's a list of all the "Lils" I could find, followed by all the "Youngs".

-Alright that's enough-


-My main problem with Youngs is...what happens when you get old? It's like you are setting yourself up for a lack of longevity. (which seems to be the case in most popular bands/artists these days anyway though)

Come on, I'd rather have somebody name themself Tity Boi or Gucci Mane than have some generic unoriginal wack Lil, Young, Yung whoever name. (okay maybe not Tity Boi, which is actually somebody's name...and if you think about it Gucci Mane isn't really that far off either) And as a matter of fact, the names "Boi" and "Mane" are also becoming more popular as well....


Okay I'm done complaining. Seeya.

P.S These also a dude out there named Young Lil
