people forget hip-hop is a young genre. we're at the part of hip-hop where rappers are over 40 and approaching 50:huhldup:.

we're in uncharted territory now. at jay'z age is he supposed to listen to the newer hip-hop and rappers out right now or just have nothing but biggie and big l on his playlist? :lupe:

the only comparison is older (still living) rock artist. do they listen to new rock? :lupe:
Hip hop is the only genre of music that doesn't grow with its listeners. Once you hit a certain age...you can tell it's for kids.

We have 40+ year old rapper still talking about the hood and the streets. How embarrassing is that? What 40+ can relate to the lifestyles of kids that are barely out of college?

Not to be a dikk or nothing but just to put it in perspective..

LOl Jay doesn't listen to this shyt......Jay listening to 'The Hills'? :dead:

This is the influence of Jay's brand at it's most obvious, but I can't knock it.....

Someone post the GIF of him hitting that bell from the Magna Carta sessions....

He's telling all those artists this is what I can do for you, it's unfortunate he has to belittle us a bit with his obvious social media handlers posting for him, but thats the game.
