Andre 3000 Retiring From Hip Hop?!?

We are hearing a new rumor that claims that Andre 3000 Retire From Hip Hop next year after he turns 40!

According to an interview with the New York Times, Andre 3000 is ready to hang his hat when it comes to his rap career confessing that he can no longer keep up with his new peers.

Andre adds that he is convinced hip-hop is a young man’s game, CelebNMusic247.com has learned. Andre 3000 reveals he recruits his teenage son Seven, with R&B singer Erykah Badu, to critique his verses on tracks by artists like Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean, because he is no longer sure what will be a hit with young fans.

Andre 3000 explains:

“I remember, at like 25, saying, ‘I don’t want to be a 40-year-old rapper.’ I’m 39 now, and I’m still standing by that. I’m such a fan that I don’t want to infiltrate it with old blood.”

He explains:

“I struggle with the verses. I don’t sit around and write raps, I just don’t. Now the only time I’m really inspired to write raps is if an artist that I enjoy invites me to their party. So if Future calls and says, ‘Hey man, I want you to do this,’ I don’t want to let Future down. I don’t want to let Lil Wayne or Drake down, because I love them…

“My son, he’s 16. Him and his buddies, they’ll be in the car, and I’ll say, ‘Hey, what do you think about this verse?’ That’s my gauge at this point. I don’t have the pulse. Part of art is knowing when not to put paint on. And when to change your medium.”
