  • Summary

  • Welcome to Episode #20 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series typically sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode but this episode sees the duo take the conversation in a slightly different direction than usual. The show today is inspired by Andre 3000 and his comments made to GQ in November 2023 about rapping as a 48 year old man confirming sadly that he has no inclination to ever rap again and that he would feel "inauthentic" in doing so, even jokily asking what he would even tap about before citing colonoscopies and bad eyesight as potential topics. Andre's perspectives haven't been shared by all of his contemporaries as 2024 saw the release of projects by LL Cool J (56) who released 'The Force', Common (52) collaborated with Pete Rock for Part 1 of 'The Auditorium', Snoop Dogg (53) reconnected with Dr Dre for 'Missionary' amongst a slew of other projects from notable hip-hop icons. So we're ultimately discussing rapping at 50. Is hip-hop a young person's game? Is rapping at 50 something to be embraced or should rappers have the courtesy to know when the time is right to ride off into the sunset? www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD
