Jay-Z gets critized for rapping at age 38? What about the rest!?

Question

Ok why does everyone call Jay Z old? He is only 38 years old! Is it because he has the rap game on lock?! I don’t get it.. I mean the guy is one of the best rappers ever.i hear all these young cats (rappers, and normal people) b!tching about the fact he is too old… I hear like “Jay had his turn” “pass the torch to someone else!” “he should stop rapping” WHY?! And you know, I am d**n sure that is exactly why he gets talked about.. not because he is old.. because lets see Dr. Dre is 43!!! Snoop is 37! Nas is 35! DMX is 38! LL cool J is 40!!!! Ice cube is 39!!! .. and I have never ever.. heard anyone say that any of these guys should retire… Nas just dropped an album, LL is gona drop in De. Maybe…. Ice Cube just Dropped 2 weeks ago. And we are waiting for Detox and DRE is 43… and Snoop is way past his prime with his Garbage last, Ghostwritten album!..... so conclusion!!! Jay Z gets hated on cause he is the most successful and people are finding an excuse to bring him down… and of course if he is on top why would he let go of his thrown!???!?.. nobody else has earned it… I don’t see prince Charles handing his over. All other rappers out there.. have been unconsistant.. except for Dr. Dre.. but he is lagging his cd…. Now why don’t we tell the rest to stop rapping?????

Ps- this is staright up all true with facts!!!

Answer 1

Jay-Z and Kanye (props to T.I. and Luda too) are as good as it gets when it comes to Mainstream Entertainment, so Jay-Z should keep strong holds on what he represents, Hip Hop!

If he wasnt as famous these conversations wouldnt even be happening, for example I dont hear anybody saying anything about Guru from Gangstarr being like 45 or 46 years old. That's cuz hes not as mainstream as Jay-Z but d**n can they both spit hard!

Answer 2

1. I think he should let it go. He just isn't as good as he used to be.

2. Did you hear Kingdom Come? Go listen to that then tell me if it's time for him to retire.

Actually Kingdom Come is terrible. I sat through that piece of garbage. But Jay-Z is just not interesting anymore. Reasonable Doubt and American Gangster were great Albums but he just doesn't bring it to the game like he used to. Nas has always been better than Jay-Z. Personally I don't find Nas that inconsistant. 5 of his 9 Albums were great.

I have a Ton of older Jay-Z stuff on my Ipod. But his newer work outside of American Gangster has been mediocre IMO.

Answer 3

1.Their Scared of a Legend.

2.Kingdom Come did suck but American Gangster was actully good.

Simple Jay-Z is a Legend, people always like hating on the people who they wish they could be as succsesfull as.

Lil Wayne is the most annoying he was talking S**t about Jay-Z about how Jay-Z says he needs to come back Lil Wayne was saying Im better then him and stuff. Well What Happend T.I made the song Watch what you say to me Jay-Z warned Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne completely shut up lol (Best Rapper Alive) is Scared of Jay-Z.

Face it they don't want a Legend returning.

Answer 4

"just the intro to Kingdom Come was better than any rap song at that time!!!"  I LOVE YOU FOR THAT.. "the Prelude" is one of my  favorite INTRO tracks to an album...

Answer 5

You REALLY think no one has said LL Cool J should retire??? Really? Never? That's been the feeling from EVERY hip-hop head ive ever met since about 1996.

No one says Cube should retire?? Really???? No One has said DMX should go away??? Are you kidding me? Snoop is a legend, can't rap worth a d**n anymore but he has personality, and that can carry him to do Country Duets and 70's funk songs as long as he feels like selling out.

Dre isn't a rapper, he's a producer. He adamantly admits that. There's not a hip hop head alive who thinks Chingy has any flow whatsoever. Who do you talk to?? Kids on the playground?? Crack heads waiting for a tester?

Answer 7

Have s*x with him already. Jeez!

Answer 8

I get what you saying and the facts are true..

Someone shouldn't stop what they know just cuz they old or getting old.

All their ages is not old at all..

old is when you can't walk, see, talk, eat..etc.

But Jay-Z isn't as great as he use to be..and that is the honest truth..

Don't mean to say it like that.. i see you a Jay-Z fan..

he's good don't get me wrong...just lately it hasn't been his best!

Answer 9

"I have never ever.. heard anyone say that any of these guys should retire"

You must be deaf if you've never heard that..

Answer 10

38 and u still rappin...UGH
