Rap music is the only genre where elders are expected to be disregarded and disrespected at some point. You damn sure won't hear a young guitarist talking about how Slash from Guns and Roses ain't shit or they don't know how he plays.

which is why the Rolling Stones and AC DC still sell out world wide and Rakim does free shows at Renaissance fairs.

I'm 30 and couldn't name 5 songs by rakim, big daddy Kane, or a few other pioneers

I'll be 43 next month and I can't name 5 songs by J Cole or Drake

You had a traumatic life, what with the rapes and all, so I wouldn't hold that against you
 
I don't hate him getting money. I only hate the bullshit that he's doing is classified as rap. You cannot put his music alongside a Mos Def VERSE and say, "They're both rappers." Classify that shit as something else like the one video said.

You're not rapping if you can't be bothered to fucking pronounce words let alone tell a narrative sentence let alone a song. Get turnt/lit/or whatever. Just don't call it rap. Even the crunkest shit Three 6 did was intelligible at the end of the day.

This isn't an evolution like, "Hey, I'm rapping over big band music or country." This is straight "The kids from Special Ed put on a Christmas Musical and we have to pretend them screaming at the wall to music is in itself musical."

Rap is the only genre of music where people actively say "You're too old to do this". No other genre does that. Imagine a young fan telling Chaka Kahn she too old to get up on stage and sing. Imagine somebody saying "Hey Stevie, time for you to put the mic down. Nobody wanna hear Signed, Sealed, Delivered anymore. People would lose their damn minds yet somehow it's ok in rap music for people to openly say they don't know, don't respect, or don't care about the older music. Not even saying they got to like it all, but at least know where the music you're making comes from.
