I said maybe it's me I still listen to Special Ed religiously, MC Lyte and Big Daddy Kane. I don't think its age especially looking at the fact that most of these rappers are 5 or more years older than they claim to be, I think the purity of the music has been granted. I think true hip hop artists barely get the props they deserve so it doesn't hit the mainstream and we live in a radio generation. Basically if they play it on the radio people will love it. It's like being mindsexed by your local radio station. They oversaturate the airwaves so much with certain songs that it sticks in your head and before you know it you're in your shower singing about doing the stanky leg. Maybe if true hip hop fans pushed and promoted or even called in and requested some of the purer artists like a Talib Kweli or Common just to name a few what's consider hot universally would be music that is actually true hip hop. So to answer the question I don't think it's possible to be too old for hip hop I just think tru hip hop is slowly dying and alot of us already have our outfit picked and in the closet for the funeral.
