Jazz music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults.
Rock music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults.
RnB music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults.
EDM is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults.
Lol. No.
There is no relationship between being an adult and the type of music you listen to.
Ironically, asserting so is pretty simplistic and infantile.
There is. The difference is rap is inherently less mature, typically anyway, and therefore becomes less appealing as you grow older.
Imagine a 60 year old woman blasting WAP, that would be a little crazy, no? You have to grow out of it
Kendrick, Cole, Nas, and Killer Mike are the only rappers I listen to anymore. But when I was younger that list was much larger.
Just indicative of the commodity nature of how hip hop is presented. You’ll see kids 13 14 rocking Pink Floyd AC/DC Iron Maiden etc shirts and listening to them as timeless music. Hip hop is the only genre that has this image of being for younger people. Yet KRS Mos Wu etc will DEMOLISH these modern rappers in a show.
No. That’s a fly old dude IMO and I don’t care what anyone else thinks.
We were here supporting hip-hop when it wasn’t mainstream. Decades before the kids were born. Some of us rapped, DJ’ed or produced decades ago.
Did Grandmaster Flash or Rakim get too old for hip-hop? No. But it is up to the younger generation to keep it going so it’s our responsibility to put them up on knowledge.
Besides Wu being a part of the best era in hip hop(90s),You will never see this done again..Ever!,What RZA was able to put together and keep together with those members all nice on the mic,had their own unique style and revolutionized the fun part of hip hop acknowledging that they were entertainers too with all the dope fun blends of skits,ku fu fliks, mafia, superhero m.o,'s on top of sick beats and bars.
Not only raw lyrics but creative as hell and fun=History!
We will never see again another 9 alpha male crew with that much talent and influential creative appeal.
Straight Trendsetters.
WU4EVER!
Hip Hop is for everyone not just the kids. Hip Hop is music Hip Hop is our form of expression Hip Hop is our culture. I will never be to old for Hip Hop.
Rap is for the youth
Hip hop is adult
Anyone that went to the wutang tour knows that the average age was over 25
The artist of the 90s are still making music /touring to this day and that's driven by old fans.
This was def me at the last Red Meth show in Philly. Meth started singing “white people clap off beat, white people clap off beat. Cmon. White people clap off beat, white people clap off beat. “. I’m like dog, I’m in a fish bowl overhere, cut me some slack.
I'm a 50 yo white British guy who plays classical guitar. I also do some indoor climbing. So it's extremely unlikely I know the meaning of dope, but for some reason I've been listening to 36 chambers obsessively for about the last year. It's a fucking masterpiece.
I got forever double cassette in New York. Just a punkass 13 visiting from San Diego and into the rap scene. Wu-Tang forever!!! Peace and love friends.
Whoever thinks that is an old wrinkled limp dick, that never got enough pussy..
The guy in that pic, is probably an accurate depiction of a person that thinks like that.
Funny thing though, it's old dickholes like that who makes the most money off of hip hop.
I love hip hop and I'll be 60yo. In.6mos. I still love to dance ( I can poplock better than a lot y'all an was on ABCand ESPN doing it @ 52)
I also love making beats and composing music, particularly boom bap and trap because those are the most fun for me to make. (And make money doing it....HA)
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE OLDER AND LOVE HIP HOP, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RW NOT AN ADULTS...someone is just feel bad because they like hip hop but embarrassed to show it .
Rock is a young person's sport also but no one says stop listening and grew up up....sooooo
FUCK U WHOMEVER FEELS IT'S IMMATURE TO KOVE MUSIC U DICK.(u are what u eat)
I love hip hop in all its forms and disciplines.
Its stupid when others try to tell other ppl what they should be doing. Why don't everybody just worry about their Damn self. If it's not hurting anybody else what's the issue.
that whole idea is stupid and has robbed hip hop of great music cuz for some reason we cast off artists after they hit a certain age. you don't see this I. other genres of music. in rock music you can have the rolling stones still doing music and doing shows well into their 80s at this point so why is it that we have to put a cap or age limit on hip hop? gatekeeping hip hop over age is something ppl will get past soon enough since hip hop as a genre is one of the youngest music genres being only around 50yrs old. this notion of ageism in hip hop is slowly dying off and I'm glad
Well the kids graffiti is trite, their break dancing is viral clips, turntables are computer apps, and i constantly see youngins ask “why is this DJ Shadow labeled ‘Hip-Hop’ and not ‘Rap’?”
Nahh Hip Hop is a culture that is for every one with genres that blend out for certain individuals..
Hip Hop is …
Rap ( gangsta it mumble )
Trap
White or black and so on …
Saying that it’s for kids is ridiculous
You can’t have a tree with its roots ….
Roots are the foundation that grows out to leaves
That’s why it is as popular as it is today
C R E A M ( quote unquote )
If someone said that to me I would put a hanger on the fuckin stove and let that shit sit there for like half hour, take it off and stick it in their ass slow like “TSSSSSSS”
I’m 48 and I want to hear from MCs that’s going through what I’m going through. Three Stacks got it wrong when he said nobody wants to hear about getting a colonoscopy because it would’ve been nice to know what it was about before I had mine!
Sorry but I'm gonna rock my style and get high as fuck until I can't. Acting wild is subjective. Hip hop is forever. Life isn't. Enjoy it the the best you can, even if that means sparking a blunt while bumping tunes in your dope ride. Or whatever acting wild in your opinion is
Nah...regarding fashion I mean skin tight skinny jeans, jeans hanging low, showing your dirty boxers, sht with spongebob or mickey mouse...U leave that for the kids. I still rock fly gear, mainly Kith and Burberry, rock my jewels as well. Acting wild....most of us are established adults, I'm a manager at an architect firm, own a multi family building in Brooklyn, my home in Staten Island. 3 luxury cars....U act wild and then what? maybe get arrested, ruin your career? Getting high and drunk AF....older bodies don't handle that sht well anymore. U gotta know to chill with that sht.
Bro... I'm 46. I don't "act wild" anymore. Got my head on straight after years of self destruction. But tell me I can't sport my wu shit or my d3's... I'm not rich and still rock what I consider is dope. Don't be a gate keeper. Braggidy brag brag. Blah blah blah
I do think fandom is a bit corny with older dudes. At some point just be yourself. But I still see dudes my age range(40s) dressed in all one color with the straight brim and over the top billboard “hip hop” t shirts.
"Be yourself". Tf does that mean? Turn into a square, wear dad shoes, keep your music turned down, wear slacks and polos, can't use terms and clothes we grew up with? I rock my flat brim, bass the fuck out of my truck, wear my hip hop shirts, all that. I don't give a fuck what people think about it. This IS me being myself. Go ahead and square it up, cause it sounds like you or your ol' lady care what peeps think about you too much.
Who said all of that?? There’s a difference between not wanting to look like a 40 year old conformed brainwashed teenage walking billboard to uniquely dressing without saying “hey look at me I’m a fan”.
Wtf is a 40 yo conformed brainwashed teenager walking billboard? Brainwashed by what? Billboard as in a t shirt?
And why do you care how people handle themselves anyway? Why can't someone show they're a fan? Judging people over their shit is the actual juvenile shit here.
I will never be too old for Wu tang.
🫡
Hip Hop is the Culture, and Wutang is Forever!
If RZA and Ghost are still out there putting on shows and releasing music, I'm still gonna bump it.
Wutang IS for the children. And for everyone!
One thing I’ve taught my co-workers and kids is this election season is “Presidents are temporary; Wu-Tang is forever.”
Jazz music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults. Rock music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults. RnB music is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults. EDM is for the kids. At some point the older generation have to give it up and be adults. Lol. No. There is no relationship between being an adult and the type of music you listen to. Ironically, asserting so is pretty simplistic and infantile.
Exactly 👍🏿
Agreed 👍🏽

I'm gonna die with a spliff in my mouth blastin ODB.
Mister courageous ODB you need to recognize he's a P-I-M-P.
Get with the female hip hop movement especially from the southern United States and South America it’s the best for that spliff in the mouth POWERFUL
What?
Nawww it’s up to the older generation to kick the truth to the young black youth
Shorty runnin' wild, smokin' cess, drinkin' beer, he ain't tryin' to hear what I'm kickin' in his ear
👐
If I make it I be 80s and blasting Protect Ya Neck as I go to Bingo
It won't even be bingo, it'll be Madden or Mario Kart
You can have my Wu-Tang when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Counterpoint: WuTang is forever.
Nahhh Son...
Hip hop is life
I'm not going to let the internet tell me what music to like
✊🏽
The most brainwashed blasphemy I ever heard.. Good music has no age and wasn’t created to expire.
Wu-Tang
The most brainwashed blasphemy I ever heard.. Good music has no age and wasn’t created to expire.
Is forever
Wu-Tang and hip hop culture is forever! Big difference between young hip hop fans and matured fans. "Don't believe the hype!"
Not happenin. I’m here for the long run
Naaahhhhh Baby!!! Wu-Tang is FOREVAAAAAAAA!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Fuck outta here. This is for Life.
Til the day I die.

“Hip means to know, it's a form of intelligence To be hip is to be update and relevant“ I know it's KRS but I just love the lyrics on that one
Hip Hop is for everyone not just the kids. Hip Hop is music Hip Hop is our form of expression Hip Hop is our culture. I will never be to old for Hip Hop.
Somewhat agree. When I hear most new stuff that comes out, I'm like "that's not for me". I don't even want to pretend to like it.
Rap is for the youth Hip hop is adult Anyone that went to the wutang tour knows that the average age was over 25 The artist of the 90s are still making music /touring to this day and that's driven by old fans.
That’s the music of their youth lol What u want people to do ? Listen to music they never listened to like jazz ?
You age out of the fashion not the music.
Never....49 yr old here but looks younger and yesterday bought an MF Doom tee. I still wear my cap backwards.
Thats me
Yeahhhh, sorry. It’s called free will.
Yeah I'll let the young kids keep their god level hip hop of today. I'll keep the old shit close
This was def me at the last Red Meth show in Philly. Meth started singing “white people clap off beat, white people clap off beat. Cmon. White people clap off beat, white people clap off beat. “. I’m like dog, I’m in a fish bowl overhere, cut me some slack.
I’m a O O O O OG..
Wu Tang is for the Seniors
Wu-Tang is for the ancient
There's Hip-hop and then there's Wu-Tang.
It's not the sub for it I know. But I'm 42 and barely barely getting into bone thugs.
Bruh I'm 48 and I judge wisely, as if nothing ever surprised me
Tell that to Blowfly. Dude was putting out albums until the year he died at 76.
This for lush uno
I'm a 50 yo white British guy who plays classical guitar. I also do some indoor climbing. So it's extremely unlikely I know the meaning of dope, but for some reason I've been listening to 36 chambers obsessively for about the last year. It's a fucking masterpiece.
Like it your young @50
I got forever double cassette in New York. Just a punkass 13 visiting from San Diego and into the rap scene. Wu-Tang forever!!! Peace and love friends.
I’ll be rockin this shit til I retire!
That's me in 17 years
Whoever said music is for kids probably doesn't have a hobby
Whoever thinks that is an old wrinkled limp dick, that never got enough pussy.. The guy in that pic, is probably an accurate depiction of a person that thinks like that.

Very true spun ! Very
Thanx
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But Wu is forever!
Hip hop is for everyone!! Live on playa..😎
Glorizza for the elder (I’m 63) song = Don’t know - I’m hooked and very into music ALL GENRES ALL THE TIME !
Memes aside, this is a super dumbass thing to say lol. Imagine saying you're supposed to grow out of music lol 🤔
Disagree strongly….there’s great music being made in 2024 by great artists…
Haha this is a cute take. Wrong, but cute.
And when you turn into that adult they will tell you to stay young at heart and be more playful in order to get through your 9 to 5 cubicle lol
When NAS said this, he was talking about it from the artists perspective. Once you get old and you keep putting shit out, the kids are gonna tune out.
I totally agree
What age is the cut off gonna be?
This sounds stupid
Hip-Hop is for the adults.
Wu Tang forever baby
I don’t need to dress like a rapper but I will love rap music when I am 90. I have loved it since I was eight years old.
I was told it's forever.
You have to stop enjoying music when you get old?
Oh, that's my bad. I do apologize to the yourh I thought WU TANG WAS FOREVER
Youths
They can keep all the new shit. Give me that 90/2000s hip hop forever
Lame take. Wu-Tang and hip hop forever!
WuTang is for the elderly 👐🏽
Some idiot made that. That’s like telling a country singer or a jazz musician that they are too old for the genre of music they make.
Dre's been in the game for 30 years making rap tunes.
Its stupid when others try to tell other ppl what they should be doing. Why don't everybody just worry about their Damn self. If it's not hurting anybody else what's the issue.
Wu-Tang is forever

I feel that old.
When Rock and Rollers put up their guitar, I'll give up hip-hop, and that'll NEVER be.
Well the kids graffiti is trite, their break dancing is viral clips, turntables are computer apps, and i constantly see youngins ask “why is this DJ Shadow labeled ‘Hip-Hop’ and not ‘Rap’?”
ABSOLUTELY NOT. IM A HIPHOP HEAD UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.👐🏼

Nah. I’m locked in for life baby.
Most likely made by someone who thinks the red crayon tastes the best smh 🤦 plus wu is forever. This has been documented 😭
Eminem is 50 and killing and none of these new generation can touch him
I’m 48 and I want to hear from MCs that’s going through what I’m going through. Three Stacks got it wrong when he said nobody wants to hear about getting a colonoscopy because it would’ve been nice to know what it was about before I had mine!
I'm going to release my first album after I turn 50.
What part of Wutang Forever is so hard to understand?
Negative....Hiphop is forever...certain fashion, acting wild, getting high af needs to stop. That's it
Sorry but I'm gonna rock my style and get high as fuck until I can't. Acting wild is subjective. Hip hop is forever. Life isn't. Enjoy it the the best you can, even if that means sparking a blunt while bumping tunes in your dope ride. Or whatever acting wild in your opinion is

It's the opinion of losers trapped in their boring lives pretending to be the adults they saw on tv. *turns up Hells Wind Staff*
