So he don’t listen to Drake Jcole and Kendrick, late 30’s would be considered an older artist? No ?

He's making sense and I never looked at it that way :ehh:

There is a certain energy that only found in the YOUTH whether cats like it or not. It does not mean you can't make good music when you old, but there is a certain music you can't only make when you young

INbeforecoli weirdo get mad at him for expressing his view respectfully
No one is looking for old artists to make the type of music they would’ve made as a 20-something rapper…except future lol


Andre got an age complex and needs to come out and admit it.

Above the fray.
Respect his opinion. Would have liked to hear the direct question or comment from the podcasters that he was responding too, though.

I feel the opposite as a day 1 fan of recorded hip hop music. As the years and decades have gone by, it's harder to find original flows, rap patterns, topics, and ideas in hip hop.

U gotta stop defending this nikka goofy ass takes. 3K is annoying af.

How is he annoying? He's not asking anyone to ask him these questions. He's not asking anyone to click on the links. If I didn't want to hear or see his takes knowing he's been saying this for years, it is insanity to be annoyed at this point.

With all due respect 3000, you my top 3, but STFU…..respectfully.

Tired of his ageist bullshyt.

3k eloquently spinning fools into accepting why he won't put out any work

nikka i see you

all that chat ain't covering shyte up just say you don't have it anymore & stop trying to find new ways to get the attention you used to get for work you are no longer willing to do

All of this.

in so many words, i hear this and his other exchanges as him being uninspired

considering the development of not only hip hop but commercial music at large prolly over the last 2 decades is that unreasonable?

LOL people talking about Andre needs to admit he has an age complex, breh literally made a song called "Chrinomentrophobia" talking about the fear of time/fear of clocks. "Bu, bu we didn't listen to Idlewild" and the same people be the ones mad about why he doesn't rap/make albums. He raps on that song by the way.
