The triumphs with the Dogo clubs, the experience of X Factor and the desire to change skin. Maybe dedicating himself to the country …
There is an age for everything: this is the concept that Jake the fury expresses in the interview with Repubblica in which he declares to no longer want to rap in order not to become, at 50, a speck with the necklace on the neck. Component of the Dogo Clubs, one of the bands that made the history of rap and who in June 2024, crowning a triumphant career, filled San Siro up to the sold out, Jake La Furia is today one of the four judges of X Factor.
Always in the same interview He says he would like to make country songsa genre “that likes because people speak”. But beyond his statements, the theme is certainly not new. Especially in a musical context such as the one present in which there are dozens and dozens of the rock stars and pop stars that have abundantly, passed the seventy years and who continue to play in the stadiums and engrave records as if nothing had happened.
“I hope to die before becoming old” sang the Whoho sixty years ago in My Generation, But a month ago we saw them playing in Milan in the new Arena Concerti a stone’s throw from the Idroscalo, in front of thousands of people. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, two eighty -year -olds, accompanied by a superband who have wrapped up the whole repertoire of the Who in over two hours. Tiring a lot, but putting it all. Not to mention the Rolling Stones of which a new yet another tour is planned in 2026 Or Bruce Springsteen who at 75 when he climbs on stage we don’t have less than three hours.
Actually a general speech cannot be made, because Much depends on the musical genre that an artist sounds. The superstars of rock and older pop can still count on an adult audience and almost their peers to which is added a slice of children of the new generations. The discourse for rap is different, The genre of the moment, the most listened to by the very young, accompanied by a mimicry and a presence on stage that poorly adapt to a fifty/sixty year old. Perhaps also for this reason the fury declared in the interview with Repubblica: “You can remain in the show by doing more”.
