First off rap is not a sport that would involve wear & tear and eventually cause retirement !

Saying rap music is a young thing is a ploy to divide and conquer by exploiting ageism in rap music so the rap industry wolves can taking advantage of the young inexperienced artist by feeding them with the false narrative that "older rappers are jealous so don't listen or take advice from them."

They want to keep the youth on a separate Island so they can feel special but not realizing they are lone sheep in a industry full of old experienced wolves & culture vultures.

Conclusion:

They don't want a industry full of experienced educated artist who now know & understand how not to get je**ed.

They want the young inexperienced artist with all the youthful natural energy, arrogance and ignorance so they can exploit and take advantage of them until they become older & another generation comes .

21 October, 1972

On this day in 1972, "Superfly" by American soul musician Curtis Mayfield moved into the No.1 position on the US Albums chart. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrVoteC1udtG9nFvAu8JRmmfoBj37poFy

Released in July 1972 on Curtom Records, it served as the soundtrack for the Blaxploitation film of the same name.

Its sales were bolstered by two million-selling singles:
1. "Freddie's Dead" (number 2 on the R&B chart, number 4 on the Pop chart) https://youtu.be/q5Xwc6CP2E0
2. the title track (number 5 on the R&B chart, number 8 on the Pop chart). https://youtu.be/-cmo6MRYf5g

"Super Fly", along with Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" (1971), was one of the pioneering soul concept albums, with its then-unique socially aware lyrics about poverty and drug abuse making the album stand out.

Due to its success, Mayfield was tapped for several film soundtracks over the course of the decade.

The forced relocation of American Indians began with the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
In 1838, the Cherokee Indians became the fifth major tribe to experience forced relocation to Indian Territory. The Cherokee Nation moved from its ancestral homeland in parts of North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama to land set aside for them in what is now the state of Oklahoma.
More than 15,000 Cherokee Indians were removed by the U.S. Army.
The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole tribes were the other tribes that were forced to relocate. Over 100,000 Native Americans from the five tribes were forced to move.
These people were held in concentration-like camps through the summer, then they were then forced to travel over 1,000 miles, under very hard conditions to Indian Territory.
Along the trail, nearly 4,000 Cherokee died of starvation, exposure, or disease.
The Cherokees came to call this forced move “Nunahi-Duna-Dlo-Hilu-I” or “Trail Where They Cried”.
The result of the U.S. Government’s American Indian Removal Policy devastated American Indian cultures. The Native Americans had been a strong and vibrant part of North American history , but what the government did to these people is difficult to understand and accept.
In 1987, Congress passed Public Law 100-192, designating two of the routes taken by the Cherokee people in their removal as a National Historic Trail within the National Trails System. Today, it is best know as “The Trail of Tears”.
The forced removal of the Indians remains a black mark on American history, and reminds those who desire freedom, that all people deserve a life of liberty regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.
