that is a response to soto, not shakey
I don't have a point I was just curious - it seems pretty rare to me. A lot of examples cited so far seem kinda dubious/not analogous

like... raekwon and big boi have put out great records recently, but when hip-hop feels vital to the country, it's def a young man's game

i have no doubts that if andre was sentenced by a judge to make a southern rap album that it would be dope as dope gets, but i don't think he has any interest in that at all, and he sucks at any other music besides that, so yeah, he's done― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Friday, July 2, 2010 2:42 PM (5 minutes ago) Bookmark

well, in all fairness, it's been only a few years since idlewild. the fact that we didn't love it doesn't wipe it from existence. lots of people come back from one less-than-stellar album.

There are certainly people making better old man rap than fucking Public Enemy (or even De La who aren't completely terrible at present date)

in 3000s case I think it's two less than stellar albums and a bunch of bullshit movies/cartoons. and there's also the fact that he really does NOT seem interested in music - he doesn't wanna tour, he's not interested in hip hop, he wastes his time on shitty little movie roles, etc.
[There are certainly people making better old man rap than fucking Public Enemy (or even De La who aren't completely terrible at present date
also Rev otm that's a pretty weak pair to cite Alfred (also neither of those acts took the extended vacation route 3000 has)

Also "old" is a weird adjective to use around hip-hop. Ghostface is old. LL Cool J is ancient.

De La Soul didn't release anything for a five-year period, but I guess they toured and did whatever during that time.

i mean, prior to "shine blockas", we would have had equal reason to wonder about both BB and andre. speakerboxxx & idlewild aren't my favorite albums (prefer the former), but i wasn't ready to write the verdict. i was curious about what might come next. and i'm still in that position wr2 dre.

there's good stuff there
dre is awesome on "green light" -- his verse on that fonzworth song is actually pretty good
both big and dre are pretty great on "int'l players anthem"
big was awesome on "i'm so hood rmx", "she got a friend", "get it shawty rmx"
