Yeah, but what is Mr. Fossil Fuel going to rap
about?
That's exactly what rockers thought when they were 25. "What are we gonna sing about at 40???"
My answers is wait the fuck up. The actual genre of hip-hop isn't old enough for you to say such dumb shit. Rap is like 35 years old, and the only reason why it's still considered a "young man's game" is because the 80s rappers refused to stay relevant. They stopped making music.
Jay, Em, Nas ain't giving up anytime soon so all of you continue with this 1,2 or 3 albums shit, but I'm thinking more like 7,8,9.

This exactly. Hip-Hop is young and we haven't seen any rapper of Eminem/Jay-Z's fame retire or step away from the game yet. What Em-Jay do now will set the trend for major rappers in the future as there's been no precedent set for the longevity of hip-hop artists, of Eminem's status. So even if Eminem continues to make music for another 10 (glorious) years, it isn't something weird or awkward. I think that it is of prime importance, for the genre & for his fans, that Em continues to make music for as long as possible.
Besides The Grammys still owe Em his Album of the Year award(s).
Enough said.
They say the good die young... Proof, YOU'RE NEVER OVER.

A lot of the links/pics I've posted in the last year or so, if they're dead, there is a probability that I have archived it on Archive.today.
