Ice Cube's solo albums might not get mentioned by casual fans but they definitely know who the **** NWA is.
Age does matter because age reflects music taste and interests although of course their are exceptions if you had parents/caregivers that exposed you to different music when you were a kid

The average 13 year old does not listen to 10-20 year old artists before their time unless you are cultural figures like MJ or Elvis where the music is just so easily accessible there is just no escaping it.

The only old rappers that I can think that a 13 year old might possibly be knowledgeable of is 2pac and Biggie but then again that is not a 100% guarantee. They might know who they are but not much on their music.
