There's been a lot made of hip-hop not looking after its elders, but the reality is that those older artists were selling out venues and touring, they just failed to find traction in terms of mainstream relevance. The likes of Nas and Jay-Z prove that if you can make relevant good music, the world will be forced to pay attention.
