33608, but how many years do you think he's got left

before people start calling him "too old?"
i mean i'm not disrespecting him at all, he's a very talented artist, and if he joined the roots i'd still buy the album with sincerity, but coming INTO the group at age 40 i think might make him vulnerable. i would still buy the shit, but i think the everyday listener wants to hear a new young addition, specifically when we're talking rappers (instrumentalists for some reason seem to last longer in the public eye... look at the red hot chili peppers, but then look at slick rick. dude is still a legend, but that's just it).
