Jay-Z Gives Advice To The New Generation Of Rappers


“I hear it all the time — ‘Yo, he should let the young guys, the new generation of guys come in.’ But you don’t become the front-runner in music because someone lets you. You have to claim your shoes,” Jay-Z says. “If you grow up listening to hip-hop, you love hip-hop and that’s the end of it. But if you’re a 30-year-old rapper still trying to make music like you’re 15, then you’re making it narrow. At my age, I can’t relate to a 15-year-old. I deal with mature and relevant topics for my age group — it has to all be based on true emotions. The more diversity and the more mature we make hip-hop, the bigger the net you cast.”

How is Jay-Z suppose to let the new comers get shine? Is he is suppose to stop making music or jump on their tracks, that’s not his obligation. Come on people didnt nobody make room for him or nas or tip or luda or kanye so why would we stop now lol
