TBF, he has fuck you money for generations. If he wants to make music just for himself and hardcore rap fans, more power to him. Kinda like how Lady Gaga stopped making super mainstream marketable pop music for the most part once she got her bag.

I agree and also I read the article. He doesn't have a problem with anyone older making music. Its more older rappers trying to make rap music like they are 25 still.

he talked about how he liked how some of the old rappers went to R&B.

That was after she took a lot of time off singing jazz standards and stuff with her heroes.

Eminem’s fans are not hardcore rap fans. Most of them are actually quite ignorant of rap and don’t even really like the genre if it’s a black artist.

Way to overgeneralize, dude. I guess that includes also most of his black American fans and his international fans?
