André 3000’s recent remarks on rapping in your forties have slightly offended Lil Wayne.
Wayne (41), in a discussion with Tyga on his Young Money Radio Show, answered a quote by André (48). Wayne remarked, “I read a few melancholy quotes from a person that I really admire in hip-hop and music, period.” When someone asked them, “Why haven’t you been doing music?,” they said, “Man, what am I going to talk about? What the heck am I going to talk about, I’m in my 40s? What details about my life at forty years old do you wish to know? What topic am I meant to discuss?
Lil Wayne stated, “I feel like I have everything to talk about” in his music later in the conversation.
Ayden made reference to André 3000’s recent declaration that he has little lyrical to sаy. People still believe that he is simply sitting on raps or that he is holding the raps captive. “I don’t have any raps like that,” he declared in a GQ interview. I genuinely feel like sometimes when I rap, it feels like I don’t have anything meaningful to sаy in that regard. I’m 48 years old. Not that age always determines what you rap about, but in certain cases it does. And what are you talking about, like, the things that happen in my life? “I have a colonoscopy to get done.” About what are you rapping? “My vision is getting worse.”
But that doesn’t meаn André hasn’t made an effort to record more rap music. He claimed to have collaborated with some of the most recent, up-and-coming, youthful, and traditional producers. “I am constantly beaten.” I make a constant effort to write.
On November 17, the former member of Outkast released his debut solo album, New Blue Sun, an instrumental endeavor that features just flute music. André’s most recent extended musical endeavor before the release of the new album was the 2006 Outkast album Idlewild. During that time, Lil Wayne has released more than a dozen albums.
