2992362, Who's the oldest hip hop act/group still putting out records?
Posted by handle, Tue Jun-27-17 02:33 PM
Is it Public Enemy? I think they've put a record out every three years since 1992 -with 1 exception which took five year.

LL Cool J?

2992366, KRS & Kool G most recently

a lot still tour though, Ice-T still does some of those tours but he just put out another album too

I think it was Raekwon or GZA who said they won't ever stop, I'd like to see a really old artist still doing it but it'd probably start to sound like slam poetry. I want old rappers like blues and jazz artists, our folks die too young too often.

I want to hear the rap album from an octogenarian that makes sense and sounds good lol.
2992367, Chuck D already sounds like slam poetry now

He's still one of my top 5 favorite rappers ever, but he doesn't sound so good anymore.
2992389, lol

Chuck sounds dope still, the last PE album was great vocally but the beats were lacking.
2992439, Public Enemy is about to put out a new album.
