Most of these cats did not even listen to what he said here.
They just came here mad emotional and barking
Dude clearly gave old rappers their flowers, recognized that they don't get wack with time and are still making good music
His point was not about old rappers not making good music
the younger generation is steeped in wackness. How many more Lil Whatever’s mumbling their way through tacks with god awful autotune are releasing classics?
He did say that
That's literally his entire point so why are y'all mad? Everything he said was about himself but y'all twisted it to him saying no one should be rapping at 50. He's only been speaking from his perspective and why he doesn't feel like rapping.
He's comfortable in his position but he does an interview and gets asked about it but y'all say he's ranting like he's the one who brings these subjects up. Y'all want him to stop talking because you're uncomfortable with the honesty of growing old in hip hip.
Mind you this is the same genre of music that's been called "a young man's game" for decades...Same genre that has rappers lying about their age because they need to appeal to the youth...Same genre that clowns rappers like Griselda or 2Chainz who get known after 30...Same genre where young rappers tell the old rappers they need to step aside and let them shine
Exactly.
Nas still telling Queens street stories and tales from his youth. That's fine for Nas but all Dre said is that he's the type of artist who wants to talk about his current life without looking back. His current life isn't interesting enough to make an album about so he isn't making a rap album. As he said no one wants to hear about having to get colonoscopies and other realities of being 50 because rappers still have to maintain their cool even when they're past being that to the mainstream audience they once had.
People aren't listening to what he says and it's because either they are mad he "broke up Outkast", won't give them another album, think he's taking subliminal shots at the old rapper they love, are mad people rank him highly, or feel like he's saying their old asses aren't cool anymore.
Dre explains why he doesn't feel motivated to rap and their response is to tell him he needs to rap. Make it make sense.

nikka out here beard and hair all grey looking like a retired elf talkin bout not listening to music by older artist
nikka you the old artist stfu already bruh
nikka you the old artist stfu already bruh
Not only is the list short, look how far he had to go back for examples. Added a producer to pad the argument lmao. Of course you can be a producer and be old, that is unless the stems don't have anything left to say, which is what Stacks said.
The Outkast stuff bleeding over has to be it. Even then it's like, if they get back together and it's not good, they've been as far apart as you can be for decades, same ones shytting on him for not going back will shyt on him & Big Boi for it. Can't really win.
Andre's main point was shyt has to go on and keep moving, why try to relive shyt when you lived it already? New shyt needs to get made, new ways of doing shyt need to happen, reinvention, etc. And that primarily happens with the youth experimenting. His way of that for him was the flute album. Instead of seeing it that way and just accepting it's what he's on, you don't have to like it or listen at all, they tore the dude down and ran behind naked sleepwalking coke fiends like Budden kicking his back in
Tying everything together, a lot of people in The Booth will not be able to wrap their heads around going to random people on the street and asking them what's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Nas" and they get told Old Town Road. A lot of motherfukkers have been born since Illmatic and now, it's nothing Nasir Jones has done, it's just what happens with time & age. Just like Alexander The Great conquered whole continents, ask most people which ones, most can't tell you one and don't give a fukk either lmao, same thing. Everything gets lost to time & age, shyt either evolves or stays in the past. 3k's telling them "want my old shyt, buy my old album, I gotta keep it moving" but they'll take it when Jay says it lol
He did say that

He been annoying to me for YEARS so don't bring up that "I can tell u guys didn't listen to him over x amount of years" shyt with me.

fukked up part bout this nikka is he took a HOBBY. Made an album and got a Grammy nom for it. Real flutist prolly pissed tf off cause this nikka never even tried to REALLY learn how to play the flute and he basically a novice yet getting all these accolades based on his pretentious persona he got from being skilled at something he seems to look down on.

hes apart of one of the GOAT groups. he gets no props for solo work imo3 stacks isnt one of the greats? This board gets more embarrassing by the minute
I didn't even listen but when yall gonna realize this man is full.of shyt. He just happens to be talented. But dude full of shyt. He went from "I'm 40 I have nothing to rap about" to "I don't listen to artist older than me" this man will say anything
But if he annoys you so much and has been doing it for years, why do you keep entertaining the interviews where he's asked his opinion as if he's purposely doing it to get on your nerves. If you aren't Big Boi, who understandably would have an issue with him because Andre 3000's decisions have had a direct effect on his money and livelihood, why are you annoyed and mad? Especially since Big Boi doesn't even talk about Andre 3000 to that degree. In fact, they still hang together.
