The other day I was watching a comedian doing an interview on television.  At one point in the interview he talked about his love of hip hop.  While talking about hip hop he made mention of possibly being too old for it.  This caught my attention because many of the innovators in hip hop who helped to bring the culture to a more mainstream audience like Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes and LL Cool J are headed towards middle age.  With people like Little Wayne and The Game talking about how they are the future of hip hop for various reasons but one of them being that they’re younger, and Jay-Z doing a song about how 30 is the new 20, it made me wonder:  Is it possible to become too old for hip hop?
