Becoming a SoundCloud Rapper at Age 75

Welcome to VICE Senior Correspondent, where we send an old person to the front lines of youth culture.

In this premiere episode, Constance Cooper, a 75-year-old classical music Avant-garde singer/songwriter, explores the world of SoundCloud rap. While Constance is quite familiar with the streaming platform, she has rarely crossed over to look at the pages of the diverse hip-hop community that has spawned an entire subgenre of music.

Constance will meet up with rapper Lil West to explore hip-hop and discover if there is any overlap between these two seemingly different spaces that exist in the same SoundCloud universe.

I enjoyed how Lil West and his team treated Constance like another person instead of an older woman. Their chemistry seemed cool.

[cedric-assehliemessing]

This lady has never "lost it", I mean look at her coat, don't tell me that she is old in any aspect

[ErinParis]

When youth culture and aging people acknowledge, respect, and value each other life is so much cooler.

[huudia]
