Can you imagine a 50 year old still rapping, more so in releasing albums or mixtapes? At what age do you think a rapper should retire?

When they want to.

When they only make headlines for arrests, controversies, etc.

Age wise, I'm not sure. Most rappers end up dead or married with children by age 40 anyway.

Isn't Jay-Z like 50 now?

.

Until they die

.

This is going to turn into a big rap vs pop fest.

Even if the public isn't huge on whatever they release, a rapper should just release mixtapes and such because he or she loves it. So basically, whenever they want.

When they realize they still use ancient "gangsta" words or phrases.

How old is Kim?

42.

I thought that he was even older, I was being nice.

Dr. Dre is approaching 50 years old now I think. He must be like 47 years old now?

You don't see a set age for singers to retire.

When they stop being good

All of them should retire, Rap is not good. I don't care if yall get mad it's awful.

When they get tired of the game.

LORD knows how many times Jay-Z has retired.

Even if people say "they should retire whenever they want" it wouldn't be strange seeing grandpa release a mixtape after he's taken his last Viagra of the day?
