LL Cool J, Snoop, Nas, Jay - Z (who has been 40 at least twice) and a few others whose names evade me at the moment are still rhyming, rapping, releasing albums etc and it makes me wonder why the hell haven't these old birds retired from the game yet. Is it greed? inability to give up youth/the golden years? a bout with insecurity in which the battle lies soley in seeking validity, you know the 'I still got it' in today's industry criteria? or is it that the money isn't as great as it has often been alluded to be?
Something in the milk just doesn't come across as clean because when a man, of a certain age, resort to doing the same things that he did in his youth, which comes across as incredibly childish to a point, one would have to wonder what the fuck is really going on. So I pose the question, should rappers be subjected to an age restriction? If so, what should it be? and how would it affect those who may be 'late in the game'?
