In a recent interview with VLADTV, Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz expressed his thoughts on older rap artists. In the interview, Vlad explains the difficulties with maintaining relevance in Hip-Hop after 50 years of age.

"I think that Jay-Z is the only one at his age who can drop new music and everyone stops and listens, up there with the Lil Baby's and the Kendrick [Lamars]" he said. Boosie interrupts to disagree: "Jay-Z's not relevant this day for music."

After repeating his statement a few times, he adds: "Now if you're gonna say Jay-Z relevant and Nas ain't relevant then no. Just like when I go to these clubs in Atlanta, these 25 to 35 clubs I'm not hearing Nas and I'm not hearing Jay-Z. It's not one or the other. I'm outside, I be everywhere and it's not one or the other."

Boosie then explains that Jay-Z's relevance to current Hip-Hop is more about his business acumen than his music.

"Jay-Z is respected by these people for being that boss that he is," he passionately states. "When Jay-Z flash across than screen it's something with a billion dollars, 500 billion, 200 billion when them young niggas see him. It ain't his songs flashes across no fuckin' social media! It's his hustle! That nigga got hustle!"

21 Savage voiced a similar opinion last month when he said in an online chat room that Nas isn't relevant, but he has a loyal fanbase. “I don’t feel like he’s relevant," he said of Nas. "I just feel like he got a loyal fan base. He still makes good music,” he said. When asked about his definition of "relevance," he replied, “Mostly connected or appropriate to what’s being done to be considered.” Savage later explained that he would never disrespect Nas, and that his comments were taken out of context by social media. Nas and 21 Savage released "One Mic, One Gun" earlier this week, where they traded verses in a show of solidarity.
