I mean you still see Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, McCartney , old CAC bands , old pop stars, old gospel singees, jazz, classical etc.performing but what will these rappers do?

Is rap the one genre of music with an expiry date as an artist?

Rappers can't be no 52 year old talking about moving weight to Baltimore and shooting up preschools so yes rap is probably the only genre of music with an expiry date. Rap is a young man's genre. Unless you're Jay Z :sas2:

Many will fall off and live out their days in a suburb if they didn't blow all their cash.

You can still make money as a rapper as an old nikka. You just better not put out any music cuz you will flop like a mothafukka.:flabbynsick:

Old nikkas like DMX can go all around the world and they make bread off shows. But putting out new music and expecting that shyt to sell? :heh:

Only the socially conscious MCs can write books, have lectures, and still perform in throwback concerts. The trend hopper rappers, however, will be broke and still acting like they 21 when they closing in on social security.
