There seems to be a new trend in Hip-Hop, one that is centered around disrespect of your elders. Weaker and lyrically unfit MC's are proposing a new age limit on Hip-Hop, apparently because older heads are still holding it down. As a result, the new rule is if you are over 30, and nicer than some random
fake gangsta wannabe MC, you should retire from rap because you're not playing fair...
That's bullshit! Game and Jim Jones are both past their proverbial prime, being near or over 30 years old. That's why I find it odd that time and time again, they get
their old asses in the booth, and call Jay-Z out for being too old. Why, because Jay got grandaddy pockets off of rap, and he's not apologetic? Why should he be? What about the next generation of young rhyme slingers. Wale, B.O.B and Drake are all nicer than you.
I think the problem many have with Jay is his energy. He's still vibrant enough for kids to care, despite the fact he's been rhyming since the days of Kane. What's worse is
Kane is nicer than most of these cats in the game right now. If the youth were aware of that, there would be more chaos. Oh well! I've learned from the gangstas that when your career is at stake, you no longer have to earn your spot. All one has to do is scream "F'k Jay-Z" to stay relevant.
