The retirement of Kobe Bryant both saddened me and gave me a sense of relief. Oftentimes this season, I watched in utter disappointment because The Black Mamba lost his game. His competitive streak was very much alive, but his body couldn’t endure the rigors of an 82-game schedule. With Kobe being 37, this forced me to think: Should rappers also have a shelf life in terms of dropping music?
