Kick Older Rappers to the curve

I was going to do this before Pensmoke, but he beat me to it becuase he is way more motivated than I am and I'm just too lazy...lol, Here's his video. He did a much better job, I'm just reemphasizing.

Some Rappers nowadays don't appreciate or don't see the value in previous Rappers that came before them and art form of rapping or just the Hip Hop culture in general so how could you expect a Rapper to give quality Rap when they don't even know who Big Daddy Kane is or Rakim for example...you see what I'm saying?....like in the 1990's rappers built upon the 1980's rappers because i think they maintained a high respect for their craft of Rap unlike some Rappers today

This is a great topic (you got thought-provoking videos, bro!), so just one other point.

40 is not even remotely old! Sure, "old" next to a soljaboy asshole, but hell...... I want to see a Nas album when he's 60! Why not? If emcees keep their heat (and come with good flow/content), why the hell not? Hip hop has a "destroy" attitude that it needs to shed, for real. Who sells out stadiums in a heartbeat (Stones, Kiss, Paul McCartney)... Our soldiers should do that too... Sky's the limit.

The hip hop community is just ignorant

@Lorenzo312 Thats why we gotta respect and love our elders when their still with us cuz once their gone we will never get that magic they blessed us with when they were with us in the flesh.

[Elvception1979]

I agree with u but its about the music not about age the music industry created this decease not HIP HOP at least the true hip hop fans like myself still love and respect our elders for example when GURU passed away last yr I was heart broken cuz I knew a piece of my childhood and HIP HOP history was gone but the mans music if u go back to his catalog is one of the finest catalog in music history not just HIP HOP who can ague with that?

I think the complaint about older rappers is that they have drifted away from their original appeal with age. It's cool that older rappers like jay z or eminem are still rapping and releasing music. I think that as rappers, especially influential ones like jay z and eminem, they have a tremendous ability to show younger rappers how to grow into a position of maturity and respect from the industry. That said, I'd much rather listen to the slim shady lp than recovery.

[ReturnOfTheZ]

Well, imo, it really depends. Like, if you got a dude who's been in the game for like, 20 years rapping about selling crack or some shit, then that's just... No. Certain artists just never grow up. Jay-Z is a perfect example of this, which is why he gets a lot of crap for his age.

dude i wish masta ace still made music... hes a legand

[IIIIIISeanIIIIII]

You make good points I agree with what you said too this is GREAT topic and here is why this is so relevant to the state of Hip Hop right now too...

Jay Z turns 40 on December 4, 2009. We "older" people have the complete knowledge so the kids need to have respect. One, Maka
