YOUNG guys in this league don't UNDERSTAND urgency. These guys don't understand that you never know what the league brings, the times MAY bring. I think they do understand what it TAKES to win here, and they continue to learn that.
Hip HOP has the urgency and rebelliousness that EARLY rock N' ROLL and punk had: a level of rule-breaking and flirtation with DANGER. It allows you to break the rules.
Early thirties for women is a very INTENSE time. If you WANT kids, and you're not in a relationship, there's an urgency there, so they're forced to mature quicker. It's easy for a MAN in his thirties to be IMMATURE - you can have kids into your fifties, whereas women just can't.
