I don't think Jay-Z is too old to rap.
However, I do think his subject matter is past his age.
Like it stated in the first pages, hip hop is young mans genre.
People wanna compare hip hop to rock and other genres and that's fine, but they have aged very very differently so the parallels are pretty small.
Perhaps he should switch his subject matter to something that suits his age and people his age can relate to, not trying to stay hip with the young crowd.
But for hiphop, that's probably a very boring subject.
