I cannot believe how fucking disrespectful some of you are. Is Megadeth irrelevant to thrash because they're in their 40's? Is Cannibal Corpse irrelevant to death metal because they're in their 40's? Fuck no. Both of their 2009 albums charted. If anything, veterans are better. Most new music just sucks and it doesn't have the balls that it used to.
If you want Em to retire just because of the timespan between his birth and now, that's just stupid. Besides, then we'll be stuck with faggots like Asher Roth. But it would be okay with you because he's under 30. Fuck that. We have just about the worst generation right now, and it's because we don't have any fucking respect for anything outside what's "in". Fucking sheep
No offense to rock or anything, but this thread is about rappers lol not rockstars. All I said was, if someone isn't putting out good music, then they should retire. Hip Hop relies on Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem because their top emcees, but if they were to retire because their not putting out good music than that will open a gap for new emcees to feel hungry in order to take those positions and it will be a better outcome imo than it would be to have old rappers not in their league anymore and putting out wack music. Jay-Z should retire for a FACT. Blueprint 3 was NOTHING special, NOTHING beside the cheap business scheme to sell records, and put a "Blueprint 3" in the title and make it seem like its going to be amazing as the first or some what on the seconds level at least, when really it was WACK. Mobb Deep should retire as well as some others that have turned to ape shit.
I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the people who were saying a rapper should retire solely based on their age, without regard to actual music quality.
Jay has retired, he just won't accept it yet...
Epic fail statement. I do believe "The Blueprint 3" was just released? If you're going to diss a major-label MC, at least state some facts, not some random whack comments that don't mean shit.
So you're saying Jay-Z, who has been putting out albums basically once a year (excluding a break from 2003-2006 and a 2-year period from 2007-2009) since 1996, where he released a classic record, is basically "retired" and Eminem who has released 5 albums over the span of 10 years (Jay-Z has released 11 albums in 13 years) has just returned from the dead and is coming to takeover again?
Bullshit statement, no offense. Calling a rapper retired when they just released an album around 2 months ago is one of the most ignorant things someone can say about MTV's "Best Rapper Ever".
^As much as I disagree with the above comment, I had to throw it in to show you that Jay-Z is indeed not "retired" as you so blatantly, without any regard to the current situation, suggest like it's right.^
my bad for sure haha @ Wic_Kid, respected or not, I don't give a fuck about it.
