50 might be the best cut off mark for rappers. Dr. Dre did surprise us all earlier this summer when he released his album Compton. Sonically, he amazed us all. In terms of his performance on the charts? He debuted at number 2 by selling 295,000 copies. Now, does that mean rappers should push their luck and remain in the game past 50? If you can’t tell, rappers like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, are still well-respected, but have lost their voices among the newer generations. There’s a certain point that you reach as a rapper where you lose touch with your demographic.
