Should rappers stop rapping when they turn 40?

[NvrCMyNut]

Why is it okay for other genre music but not for hip-hop?

a lot of hip hop artists core subject matter just sounds ridic coming from a grandpa. Jay-z for example, rapping about teenage shyt, stuntin, braggin about crack sales etc

As long as the content evolve with the age then they are cool.

An mc can be a poet and true author
You can impart wisdom and paint vivid tales

But yeah any lame ass 40 year old still on that dope/money/broads/cars/clothes etc. repetition is lame*

 

[observe]

i would rather hear a 40 year olds subject matter than a 16 year olds

Of course you would. Your closer to a 40 year old than I am

 

[King Sun]

IF you just hustled your way in rap yes you should hang it up but if you're actually gifted wahats stopping you

Life Is Good is a perfect example that grown ass folks that you can listen to it. It was a mature album by Nas.

 

[The Ruler 09]

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I know he 40 years old I don't respect my elders

Its hard to over look a 40 year old rapper who is sharp as ever.

We see Kiss, Nas, & Scarface doing features with MMG, Young Money, & DJ Khaled and they are usually the ones with the best verses.

Andre 3000 just raped Future on Benz Friends.

Damn at Ras Kass still saying the most profound shiit in one line in 2014 at 40 years old.

the shyt rappers talk about definitely changes as they get older, as opposed to any other genre. or should i say, they have to switch it up because it would be if they kept it up.

not that i agree with the thread

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

Good rap is like jazz music. And good rappers are like jazz musicians. meaning they should keep at it untill there dying day.

For emphasis to you dumb nikkas.

The culture is still young in comparison to other genres. There's no "expiration" age in rap anymore.
