"Let's talk about aging rappers"


  

          

Getting old is never not weird.

Hip hop is and always will be music of the youth or music that celebrates youthfulness.

That said, I was looking at a picture of Jay Z and I was thinking, by the time my kids are old enough to know their ass from their elbow Jay Z is going to be a respected black elder like Morgan Freeman or Harry Belafonte

It's a mindfuck and I feel like no one is talking about what it feels like to watch rappers age.
