Lil Wayne says he feels too old to Rap in response to André 3000

Weezy said that the fact that 3 Stacks had so much to say made his comment seem gloomy.

Lil Wayne has expressed his opinions about André 3000’s remark that he has nothing to rap about in his forties.

Weezy discussed reading 3 Stacks’ statement from his GQ interview during an interview with Tyga on Young Money Radio. Stacks said that it seemed “inauthentic” for him to attempt to fit into the current rap culture when he had nothing to say. Wayne said it was somewhat upsetting to read the sentence since he can come up with a song quickly.

Wayne said, “I read a depressing quote or two from someone that I respect a lot in hip-hop and music period,” in reference to André’s statement. When others would question, “Why haven’t you been making music?,” they would reply, ‘Man, what am I going to speak about? What on earth am I going to speak about, I’m in my 40s? “What would you like to know about my life at forty and myself?” I thought, “That’s so depressing, I have everything to talk about.”

Wayne went on, “I thought that may be a downfall of me staying in it because you may at our age hear what’s going on and feel I’m so out of that,” after discussing the need to stay current in the game. “I’m not going to drop anything,” he said. “For this reason, I claim that I don’t listen. I just go inside my bubble, put my all into what I do, and maybe we can bat for the fences together, dude.”

In contrast to what many had anticipated, André 3000 explained to GQ last month why his new album, New Blue Sun, features just woodwind instruments rather than hip-hop. André claims that while he attempted to record a rap, things did not go as planned.

“I’ve collaborated with some of the most recent, up-and-coming, youthful, and veteran producers. I am always being beaten. “I attempt to write consistently,” said André, who has only sometimes provided admirers with guest poems in recent years. “Even today, some still believe that he is just sitting on raps or that he is keeping these raps captive. I don’t have any songs like that. I really feel like sometimes when I rap, it seems like I don’t have anything meaningful to say in that regard.”

“I’m 48 years old,” he said. Not that age always determines what you rap about, but in some cases it does. And my life experiences, like, “What are you talking about?”I have to go get a colonoscopy. What are you talking about? I can’t see well.”
