my GOAT stay bringing hip hop where it's never been before, you nikkas will appreciate him one day 
Some would say Jay-Z is already past it so why would he want him to continue for another 6 or 7 years? My guess is that Jay would have stopped by then not necessarily because of age but because his career of releasing albums every other year will have run its course. This happens to every artist no matter how successful they have been.
It was 4 years between his last two solo albums if i'm not mistaken, that's one maybe two more albums by the time he's 50. And really...I would be mad if jay up and quit after 50, just for the simple fact that somebody that old not only rapping, but being relevent to the music and the culture will be pushing us as a whole into the rock and roll territory where our history can't be invalidated as some kind of youth fad or some shyt, rappers could possibly do shyt like the rolling stones and still have viable careers beyond the average shelf life of the emcee which is like 4 years at best. Like the music or not that's a GOOD thing.

i reckon he will continue to make music. whether it will be good or not is another thing. i think if anyone is gonna do it first (on a big/mainstream level) it will be Jay, there are rappers like Chuck D who are already 50+ and cats like KRS & Too Short who are in their late 40s and still making music, i dont think they'll stop in a couple of years
There's nothing wrong with rapping at 50, the problem comes in when a nikka 50 but the music doesn't reflect that & said rapper is dressing 18 and jumping on whatever wave is popular with young people
