Lil Wayne Says He Will Retire After Releasing “Tha Carter V”

    On this February 19, Lil Wayne will release the highly anticipated sequel to his 2010 album I Am Not a Human Being. Yet despite this news of the LP’s impending release, Weezy says he may soon call it quits on his music career.

    In a recent interview with MTV, Lil Wayne said that he’s planning to retire from making music after releasing Tha Carter V, the fifth installment of his critically acclaimed series. The New Orleans rapper explained that in his decade-plus professional career in Hip Hop, his interests have expanded to other activities while his passion for recording tunes has increasingly waned.

    “I know y’all want me around for a little bit, [but] Tha Carter V is my last album,” he revealed. “I’ve been rapping since I was 8 years old; I’m 30 now. That’s a long time, and I like to do so many more things, and when I like to do something, I end up loving to do it real quick. And I love to do something, I’m fully focused on it and it only, and music sometimes is not that ‘it.'”

      1. true that, can’t wait to stop hearing about this faggot being mentioned as a hip hop great. lil wayne and baby can now live happily ever after fucking each other in their gingerbread house in the gay city of new orleans.

    1. How many times has Lil Wayne retired now? Pretty soon he’s going to have to retire from all this passionate retiring.

    2. YMCMB for life. Wayne now Wayne gone, Wayne will always be here. We got I Am Not A Human Being II. The Carter V. But be real, if its on his mind this much—he is thinking about it.

    3. Yeah right. Lil Wayne is gonna retire just like Too short,Jay Z and 50 cent did.LOL then he gonna drop an album 3-5 years after his “retirememnt” and sell another million in a week. not hating,these rap niggas are just predictable.

    4. they have the same gimmicks. they can at least come up with something new. Yall probably think Kanye West was the first to jump on stage and say something stupid like he did with taylor swift but no. He took that whole little thing from Ol Dirty Bastard when he went on the stage at the awards to say how expensive his clothes were that night or some shit. Come up with new or original shit man cause i know you people from the industry be reading this shit. the world is small so COME UP WITH BETTER PUBLICITY STUNTS!!! I see,the GIMMICKS the wack lyrics/ the shit is depresing pathetic please forget it// -Biggie

    5. Oh so sad, not really. He had a good run but he ruined it. bye bye wayne. I’m sure he’ll be back in some fashion.

    6. NOOO!!!!!! DON’T LEAVE MUSIC MR. CARTER!!!!!! YOU’RE MY IDOL AND ROLE MODEL!!!!!!

      Now I gotta cry myself to sleep. Fuck my life.

      1. Yeah, screw yourself because you don’t know what music is! Go listen to some Jimi Hendrix and Kendrick Lamar

    7. I’m am looking for a male who enjoys taking the lead and taking things that please him. I would prefer a man between 27 to 40. Prefer those built for comfort than speed, and a man with a large Dick would be my ideal, or something completely different such as a goth guy in his full goth outfit and makeup (they really turn me on – even when fully clothed). Prefer a man who is outgoing and know whats he wants and is not shy about taking what he wants, and can accept a guy who is a little reserved – although not reserved when it comes to receiving any kinky action.

    8. for some reason if he does follow his “plan” i think he would end up coming back in like 2-3 years, or he’ll be on every fucking feature like usual so its like hes still around.!

    9. he says he gonna retire after carter V but what he didnt say is carter V aint coming out for another 3-4 years so we got to wait and listen to his crap he call music all this time

    10. I think it’s true cause the mofucka ain’t even said when Carter V is gonna drop. for all we know he could Detox that shit and drop a verse every six months ala 3stacks.

    11. Lil Wayne retires, that’s some good f*cking Hip Hop news

      I hope Wayne gonna act like Nike ” Just Do It “

    12. Dont do it Wayne. You’re better than shitty New York and you keep making backpakers n nerds angry. That’s something to consider.

    13. Lil Wayne last great album was Carter 3 and then everything went to shit, with the voice change, the rock shit, and the clothes, etc. I used to be a big wayne fan, but now I can stand to listen to the bullshit he puts out, and most of it is exactly that… bullshit. At one point, Wayne had the greatest wordplay in mainstream hip-hop, and now this nigga is always saying stupid, and using bullshit excuses like “I’m focusing on skateboarding”…. Nigga please, your 30 years-old. Run your young money empire and be happy with your accomplishments in the rap game. And yes, please retire cause you pretty much all but raped your reputation as a street nigga and a lyricist. This just my opinion, I don’t expect anybody to agree with me.

      1. Co-sign everything you just said. Dude used to be a beast on the mic. Now its nothing but garbage. Good riddance.

      1. why do you care? just dont listen to it. whats the big deal? if you dont like something you let it be. i swear you lil kids die for attention.

    14. Thank fucking god, I’m thankful for this decision he’s made on Thanksgiving, lol. But seriously, music won’t miss this clown, he should have retired 10 years ago and no one would have cared.

      1. again… then dont listen to it. whats the big deal? is anyone forcing you to listen to wayne or talk about him? no. so that world be you and your lack of life.

    15. Lmao hiphopdx comments are too epic today. For the first time it seems like everyone unanimously agrees on a lil Wayne article

      first time ever hahaha

    16. The first I am not a human being sucked so how is this one going to be any different? Plus he said he kept some of the same producers, so I’m expecting this one to be not so different from the first one. If he’s saying that his mind isn’t in the music as much as it used to be then it’s better if he just retires now. Don’t do it if it ain’t something you love doing.

      1. then dont listen to it. whats the big deal? is anyone forcing you to listen to wayne or talk about him? no. so that world be you and your lack of life.

    17. here’s an idea you losers… then dont listen to it. whats the big deal? is anyone forcing you to listen to wayne or talk about him? no. so that wouldd be you and your lack of life. i mean i just dont get it, if you dont like him why listen or reply about him. ignore it. simple.

      1. Shut your ass up fuck boy! Your riding Wayne’s dick way too hard! People are allowed to express their opinions if they want. Quit replying to everyone that says anything bad about Wayne, you sound like a bitch! Man up son that’s some gay ass shit right there.

      2. nope could care less about wayne. this is not only about him but all you gay ass niggaz who stay commenting on someone u say u hate yet you comment CONSTANTLY on every damn post. thats fuck fuck ass homo shit if i ever heard you sorry ass piece of shit.

    18. you guys are some low life haters..let lil wayne be lil wayne if you dont like his music then just dont listen to it, its more respecable then dropping all these evil hateful ass comments.

    19. nooooooo! hip hop needs Weezy! dont retire my nigga. we da real hip hop fans still love you. yo innovative muzik changed ma life. wut wud I do witout yo muzik? I dont even wanna image it. nooooo. Lil Wayne will be da King of Hip Hop forever. nobody can change it. swag

      @ hip hop fans

      lets sign da petition errone. we need Weezy’s creative mind in hip hop… swag

    20. Lil Wayne has become to successful and like always fans then turn on you so its probably the best idea to retire so he can go on an enter the league of 50 diddy jay

    21. Da Carter series highly acclaimed? By who? The 14 year-olds that listen to his shit?

      Also, this is awesome news. Can’t wait for him to fuck up another aspect of life, just like he did with Hip Hop.

    22. he looks like is ass stinks; i bet it does. i bet if and when he gets up fro the seat he is sitting on and sway smelled it, i bet it would stink. He needs to get a baby wipe and clean them bootie hairs!

    23. I hope this is true. This clown never cared about music and has the most annoying voice and shittiest catalogue of any artist in the genre…good riddance.

    24. This man deserves the luxury of being able to retire after 20 years of work. He already made history, so the haters can sit on down. What had your favorite rappers done by the age of 30?

      1. My favorite rapper had 5 albums and each of them went multi-platinum. He was the first commercial succesful rapper from the south and starred in movies like 2Fast2Furious and Crash. He launched an own Cognac back in ’10 and one year later the Soul Headphone line. He became a lil bit too mainstream IMO now but he still aint that ugly and gay like Mr. Carter

      2. Yes Lil Wayne made history by destroying hiphop and making hiphop a music for gay people.

        Oh and lets talk about my favorite rappers who made real classics:

        – Biggie
        – Nas
        – Big L
        – Big Pun
        – Rakim
        – LL cool J
        – BDP
        – RUN DMC
        – Kool G Rap
        – Big Daddy Kane

        Fans still talk about these rappers butwithin 5 years no one will talk about a ugly midget by the name of LIL WAYNE!!!!!

      3. @ He made History already

        No these rappers made history:

        – Biggie
        – Nas
        – Big L
        – Big Pun
        – Rakim
        – LL cool J
        – BDP
        – RUN DMC
        – Kool G Rap
        – Big Daddy Kane

        Fans still talk about these rappers butwithin 5 years no one will talk about a ugly midget by the name of LIL WAYNE!!!!!

      4. unfortunately people will talk about lil wayne in five years and y’all know it. the thing is, it might not be all positive talk tho

      5. Master P made history and did what no other black man did, while owning 100% of his label. 2 people owned Ruthless, 2 brothers and 1 sister owned Ruff Ryders, 3 people owned Roc a Fella, 2 people owned Bad Boy, 2 people owned Death Row, 2 people owned Aftermath, 2 people owned Cash Money, 3 people owned Def jam and etc….

        We just talking about labels that sold over 25 million records.

      1. shut the fuck up dirty rat!!! u aint got nuthin worthwhile to post.u n yo bitch lil wayne just fuck outta here!!!!!!!gayass niggaz.

    25. You should have retired in 1992! Probably this is a publicity stunt to create attention. Nowadays rappers are attention whores. Remmber the following rappers they all wanted to retire:

      – too short
      – jayz
      – master p
      – game
      – 50 cent
      etc

    26. Best news ever! Now burn every record by YMCMB! Most ugliest and wack rapper ever. Even MC Hammer had more skillz then Lil wayne

    27. Lil Wayne is a troll. Tha Carter V? Unfortunately, it’s his third album before retirement. *cough* Rebirth II – I Am Not a Human Being II – Like Father, Like Son II. *cough*

      4 new Lil Wayne albums? That retirement is far away. 🙁

    28. this dude has no creativity. carter 1 2 3 4 and now carter 5 ?? wtf !!

      he’s just rid in the same formula since the last 10 years cause he aint got any substantial artistry to give to the world

      really hope you retire after this trash album you’re bout to put out …

    29. who gives a phuck? hes lieing anyways. rap is the only thing he knows. he think truck fit is going to take off? nobody buying no truck fit lil nigga, best bet is to keep rappin you lieing warlock.

    30. best rappers of old time

      1. Lil Wayne
      2. MC Hammer
      3. Vanilla Ice
      4. Chingy
      5. Fred Durst
      6. Drake
      7. Nicki Minaj
      8. Trey Songz
      9. Rick Ross
      10. Gucci Mane

    31. Finally, best news in a while, cant wait, matter of fact why not retire right away.

      And stop calling every person who dislikes something a hater, its retarded to like everything.

    32. This is so amazing that an artist, doesn’t have to use the name of other artists, to get over 50 comments. Lil Wayne is a star that has his own universe and he indeed made great history. He has had a remarkable career!

      1. Its remarkable that someone with little education can become this successful off shitty music. Its one thing when another rapper with same education spits dope lyrics and doesn’t make it..but wayne sucks and didn’t propel rap if anything he set it back.

      2. ITS REMARKABLE THAT THERE ARE ELITIST HIPHOP SNOBS TALKING ABOUT BEING EDUCATED, WHEN HIPHOP CAME FROM THE GHETTOS AND REPRESENTS THE STRUGGLE OF THE POOR AND UNEDUCATED.

    33. DOESNT MATTER AT ALL. HE PROVED ALL THE CRITICS WRONG. BIGGEST RAPPER TO PROPULSE HIPHOP INTO THE WHITE MAN’S EARS. BIGGEST RAPPER IN SALES SINCE FEMINEM BUT HES WHITE SO THAT DOESNT COUNT. HENCE THE FACT THAT HES GONNA MAKE MORE MONEY WITH TRUKFIT THAN 50 WITH HIS SMS BULLSHIT AND JAY WITH HIS CRAPPY NETS.

      1. but srsly, everybody knows you’re a bitch yessir, you’re just acting hard on the internet like a clown cause everyone knows you’re a straight up dickriding faggot.

      2. My nigga, you was probably 4 years old back in 2005 when 50 Cent dropped The Massacre with 1.5 million first week. Hence the black man who sold the most ever first week.

      3. You clowns don’t know whites were watching Run DMC and LL Cool J on MTV because you were an infant or non-existent. Run DMC on Billboard and the cover of the magazine and Jazzy and Will winning the first Grammy were epic. You do realize I named white companies. Run DMC was worldwide before there was a Source and XXL came years later.

        Saying Wayne or Eminem did more for Rap exposure to whites is sheer utter nonsense. You scrubs need to knock it off.

    34. Been rapping since 8 years old my ass. how can you even write rhymes and even rap at that age. He’s just not passionate about music. He was more in for the money.

      Unlike Eminem and some other artists who actually rap for the love of hiphop and actually release good stuff.

      Fuck this fag. Im sure he won’t be missed anyways.

    35. AYE YEAH YA’LL IT’S YESSIR AKA BABY DICK AKA HAND LOTION AKA BABY POWDER AKA A BITCH NAMED YESSIR AKA THAT HOMO FOR REAL AKA NO SWAG AKA THE MAIN DICKRIDER AKA BITCH NIGGA ESQUIRE AKA PILLOW CASE SWAG AKA FRUITY PERFUME AKA THE LITTLE SPOON AKA BROKE BITCH AKA CARDBOARD BOX IS WHERE I LIVE AKA CHUMP CHANGE AKA NO CASH HAVING BITCH AKA PLEASE GIVE ME A DOLLAR AKA BUTTHURT. I’M JUST HERE TO DICKRIDE LIL WAYNE SO HARD CAUSE I’M A GAY ASS FAGGOT.

    36. Lord please, let Tha Carter V drop right after this nigga’s next album so he can retire and fade into oblivion.
      P.S. Let it flop too.

    37. Thank you. Let his ass leave, and let them hot neon colors he like to wear out the door with him and his teen fan base…..dude got BREAD but he AINT SHIT when it come to this Hip Hop shit FOH.

    38. That day will be a great day for music!!
      However I don’t see this fag the fuck out til all the money has been milked from him…

    39. The better question is will he be missed honestly? He has had a tremendous run but honestly will his music be missed? Will years from now people be like man I miss what he brought to the game? He hasn’t put out not 1 classic album(classic as in you press play and let it ride), Classic as the impact it had on the game, and classic as in songs that will be talked about and Lil Wayne don’t have anything on that calibur. He is more known for the amount of music he did rather than the QUALITY he has done.

    40. Y’ALL MAD CUZ LIL WAYNE BEEN RAPPIN SINCE THE 80S. HE IS A REAL BLOOD CUZ REAL B’S WEAR BLUE ON THE LEFT SIDE! HE A SKATER WHO ETHERED LUPE FIASSHOLE IN THE X-GAMES. TUFAG SHAKUR WAS INTO KISSING OTHER MEN IN HIS BALLERINA CLASSES WHILE SWAGGA JACKIN LIL WAYNE’S STYLE. LIL WAYNE INVENTED GANGSTA/SKATER RAP!

      NICKI MINAJ HAS A FAKE BUTT!

    41. People are entitled to their opionions, but facts are facts. Lil Wayne impacted the game. You might not have liked some of the hundreds of songs he put out, but you are only fooling yourself if you say you’ve never heard a hot line, feature, or song from Lil Wayne.

    42. Donnis Mac:

      But… Run DMC’s impact wasn’t as major as Wayne’s is now. You do realize XXL and The Source allowed rappers great publicity everytime they were slapped on one of their covers during hip hop’s free sales reign time. True, there were alot of artists who came before them who helped gain exposure to other demographics, the one’s Wayne milks today, but you do realize that it’s not just about milking a demographic. Will Smith won a grammy, but his music exists in a bubble where today you can’t listen too. Wayne is making sure that 10-15 years from now you’ll be listening to either one of his albums, or the zillions of songs he jumps on. That to me is worth more than a grammy, or doing a song/video with Aerosmith.

      1. There wasn’t such thing as major impact in hip hop before RunDMC period, the whole idea was for the art to get to that point and it took Run DMC, LL, Diddy, Rush, B.I.G., Jay Z, Dr Dre and his decendants and Master P for Lil Wayne to be where he is now. He’s just a beneficiary nothing else.

      2. Almost 30 years later people still remember “Walk This Way”, so if that isn’t impact tell me what it is. Without the Grammy, Will Smith doesn’t get the TV show and movie parts. Right On! magazine came before The Source and plenty of rappers graced their pages. What you do not understand is Wayne is not making sure of anything, these same companies are speaking about Run DMC, Will Smith, and Wayne in the same breath.

        People in this world now will go to a party and dance to Run DMC, Will Smith, Wayne, even MOP and have the time of their life and not do give a flying fuck about what you said about a bubble. People 10-15 years from now will see Wayne impacted his era and was not responsible for the actual exposure of the art.

        The Rolling Stones are hitting their 70’s and have fans 60 and over and down. No one is saying some current now group had more impact in the game than them. Stop the madness, you’re talking silly.

    43. Rappers don’t retire lol. Esp wayne he’s just saying this to get a reaction. It would be in his best interest to quit music all together. There is a certain line that is crossed when you can tell there is no culture or creativity left in an artist. Just dollar signs. In my opinion, waynes early stuff was decent and Im sure he gets enough revenue to be happy for the rest of his life if he quit. Lets hope he’s not trolling the industry again with this lol

    44. best rappers of modern times according to sales

      1. Lil Wayne
      2. Drake
      3. Rick Ross
      4. Nicki Minaj
      5. Wiz Khalifa
      6. Gucci Mane
      7. Waka Flocka
      8. Meek Mill
      9. Lil B
      10. Raekwon da Chef

      swag

      1. @Icy Boy – why did you just make up a list? Eminem’s sold over 100 million albums – and you think Meek Mill has sold more than him in ‘modern times’? You’re a clown.

      2. sales = nothing to do with skill… hence EM moving more than say RA rugged or Evidence numbers… who are far superior rappers…

    48. when i was younger i liked waynes music then it turned in to hate now i can tolerate hearing it but to say hes the best rapper alive hes fair from it,he is a fake rapper thats more pop hip hop like most mainstream rappers now a days that just rap bout a load of shit that has no meaning,to here real rap now a days just listen to the underground stuff such as strange music inc,Living Legends and overs

      1. niggas seem to hate on lil wayne every chance he get. This man been on top for atleast 6 years now. He is not a hot at the moment rapper this man been doing this. Stop hating punk ass niggas and give credit when credit is do. The lil nigga is a beast and have longevity. The man started out with the hotboys at 14 and still running shit at 29 years old.

      1. nothing else to do so i’ll just reply with my “top 5 from the south” for the hell of it…
        UGK
        Outkast
        Devin the Dude
        Scarface
        Master P

    49. damn yall some hatin ass dudes man. Weezy been killin the game since his cash money days. Look how much he’s done for hip hop and all yall do is hate. He’s given us classics, and I agree his recent stuff doesn’t top Carter 1 and 2, but you can’t deny he’s top 5 right now(top 3 actually).

      So many other wack rappers and yall choose to hate on Weezy. I bet yall them lame ass “real hip hop” fans who only bump Common(who sucks) and fuckin Mos Def. Them old ass fools don’t even sell units, plus Wayne is lyrically shitting on them. Carter 2 still the best rap album of 2000 era. Fuck anyone who says any different(and Carter III is shitting on the majority of whats coming out today, including yall lame as opinions)

    50. these comments are unreal. niggas got so much emotion invested in this niggas. especially the niggas who claim they dont care about him. no wonder he goes platinum in a week.

    51. niggas call wayne a pop star.. like no ceilings was pop? sorry4the wait was pop? lil wayne is pop when he shows up on every kids bob, and i don’t think his lyrics gonna make the disney channel cut. it sounds cute when y’all say it.. but it doesn’t make sense.. wayne is no where near pop.

    52. Waynes going to be remembered as the next pac. How can you not award him that right. Look how much he has done for hip hop. Hip Hop album sales have been on slow decline, yet Wayne has been the small breath of air keeping it alive and bringing in money by bringing in ATTENTION.

      Attention is what keeps music or anything else alive. He branches out and does other things than music. He features on other artists of different genres albums. Pac would be proud of Wayne if he were still alive and I even believe he would agree to sign to Young Money records and help Wayne build even bigger empire.

      If Wayne were to die, he WOULD become the same vessel of icon as Pac was and still is to this day. Look how many people bite Waynes style same as they did pac(Nas, Ja Rule). Yall know its true but are just to afraid to admit it.

      1. Waynes going to be remembered as the next pac. How can you not award him that right.
        ++++++++++

        & FROM HERE I KNEW U WERE A WEIRDO

        TRYING TO TELL US YOU KNOW WHAT A DEAD MAN U NEVA KNEW PERSONALLY WOULD THINK OF SOMEBODY HE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW

        LMMFAO

        STFU CLOWN

      2. next pac?.. next fucking pac!? are you kidding me, stupid niggas like you get on my nerve. This nigga ain’t even the next vanilla ice, son is ass

    53. lol that nigga Wayne done outsold all these lame ass cats, fucked bad bitches, got crazy amounts of paper stacked and bouncing out this BITCH lol. Do your thing wayne and don’t listen to these lame hatin ass fools. What else is there for dude to accomplish. He’s already done it all and proved beyond a doubt he is the greatest(living or dead). No one can touch him, not even Jay-Z

    55. You know what’s sad, when Wayne initially came out with Tha Carter series he was “Fire!” Metaphores, Punchlines, Delivery…everything was on point. Nowadays I can’t even stand listening to the music he’s putting out, good riddance I’d say. Now the rest of these “Garbo” rappers need to follow suit and throw in the towel.

      1. yyyyyyeah but ? but what ? it was him on the mic but on the paper ghostwritter! (Gillie da kid )
        Don’t worry if I write rhymes – I write checks (hah!)

    56. I guess he is realizing that cats are not putting up with bullshit anymore. Thanks K. Dot for showing these whack pop stars that rap is still alive.

    57. Many have pulled the retirement card, but I hope to God that he’s a man of his word on this. 5 years later, if I don’t see another album, then I will give him props as the wackest rapper to do society a favor…and that is to not harass the people with that ugly mug, froggy voice, God-complex attitude, and garbage ass rhymes. Merry Christmas to me.

    58. thank you lil wayne i really would like to hear someone other than you on the radio all day. ps don’t come back please!!!!

    59. Why can’t you rate news articles? This would get 5 stars! This is the best news in the rap world in a long time.

    60. SO MANY HATERS SO MANY COMMENTS FROM BROKE ASS NIGGAS THAT SUPPOSEDLY DONT CARE ABOUT DWAYNE. LIKE I TOLD YOU EARLIER AND LIKE ANOTHER LIVING LEGEND WHO HAS THE SAME NAME..IT DOESNT MATTER! YMCMB AINT NO GOOD MUSIC NOR ROC NATION. THEY THINK LONG TERM IN EVERY ASPECT OF MUSIC. WANT POP FOR ANOTHER DECADE? HERE GOES NICKI, LIL TWIST, AND MY NIGGA CHUCKEE. WANT REAL HIPHOP? HERE GOES DRAKE AND TYGA FOR U. BUT WAIT YOU LL PROBABLY DISAGREE WITH THAT LAST CATEGORY AND SAY SOME BULLSHIT SCARED LIKE SUM BITCH BEHIND YOUR LIL MACBOOKS. DWAYNE KNOWS YALL WANNABE RAP ELITISTS WILL CALL BULLSHIT ON DRIZZY AND TYGA SO HE KEEPS TRICKS UNDER HIS SLEEVES. AND ONE OF THEM IS MY NIGGA GUDDA. GO LISTEN TO HIS JOINT THE VENT PART 2 AND TELL ME THIS ISNT REAL HIPHOP.

      1. What does an individual’s financial situation have aannnything to do with their taste in Hip Hop music? Some people just prefer artists with some substance.

    61. 9 years later: Lil Wayne says after he releases Dedication 9, Da Drought 7, Carter VII, IANAHB 5, and The Rebirth 4 he will retire.

    62. Good.I been waitin for his weak ass to leave rap since the hot boys days.n fuck yall nut ridin niggaz who jock errything he do.Its cause yall are brainwashed n dont know no better.Same with Keef fans.

    63. Lil Wayne >>> Kendrick Lamar

      Drake >>> J.Cole

      Nicki Minaj >>> Missy Elliot

      Tyga >>> Ab-Soul

      Gudda Gudda >>> Schoolboy Q

      Lil Twist >>> Aesop Rock

      Bitch niggas gon hate

      1. finally someone says what everyone’s thinking. also drake >>> biggie, tupac & big l combined

        anyone who disagrees iz a bitch hater

    64. “Some people just prefer artists with some substance”

      Substance meaning what, they use big words that put people and speakers to sleep?

      1. substance has nothing to do with “big words”, its about songs having a focus, with some sort of variety of subject matter

    65. “TRYING TO TELL US YOU KNOW WHAT A DEAD MAN U NEVA KNEW PERSONALLY WOULD THINK OF SOMEBODY HE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW”

      I’m sure the guy was being sarcastic, dumb ass.

    66. He said the same shit when he was working on the carter IV and what happened after that ? He’s still putting out garbage. Another thing is I really doubt Birdman is really gonna let this nigga retire, a pimp ain’t nothing without his hoe.

    67. I will not want Wayne to retire for obvious reasons, this dude can really spit bars if he puts his mind and soul into it and forgets about all the jingles he’s been making recently.

      Just go back and listen to the mixtape wayne back in the days and c2.

    68. Lil Wayne has sold 15 million albums by the age of 30, while Jay Z had only sold about 7 million by the age of 30. In other words, the young boy can go ahead and retire, because he has sold more albums at the age of 30, than any other rapper before him. Say what you say about whatever, but you can’t argue the album sales point I’m making and that’s the only point I’m making.

      1. Please read that up before you start talking shit, even the game got something like 15 million just of the Documentary hahahaha.

      2. If he only sold 15 million by 30 yrs old that would be sad. Taking into account that he was rapping since he was 17ish. Also he puts out what seems like 30 cds a year (pure shit but still gotta a chance for numbers from the tards that buy garbage).

      3. Jay made his first album at the age of 27 fool. so it took him only 3 years to sell 7 million. so what are you sayin really?

      4. Fact by age 30: Jay-z only had dropped 3-4 LP’s, While Weezy’s whole catalogue was a 22 year process…Wayne was not great until Carter 1. So Weezy’s real career started in 2004-now.

    69. if he would go back to his old flow and give the fans what they want, then it wouldnt be a problem…but he choose not to…plzzz make the last Carter like the second Carter…

    70. I know everyone is probably going to celebrate his retirement, but at least he’s being smart about it. Let’s face it, 50 Cent should have retired years ago and so should have plenty of other rappers. He’s only 30, and while he may have started to get lazy about rapping, he missed out on his childhood, so I think this whole skateboarding thing is his chance of really being reimmersed in something he potentially missed to experience as a kid. On the bright side, he has a successor in Drake, so he doesn’t leave the hip-hop world empty-handed, and Drake has shown enough potential to be better than Wayne even if he isn’t already.

    71. “Lil Wayne Says He Will Retire” So who the fuck cares? If Pac and Biggie were still alive all these garbage ass rappers would be working at McDonald’s and I’d be the one buying food from them.

      1. yo that’s not true. y’all keep sayin that. but there were garbage ass rappers in the 90s too. Tupac/Biggie wouldn’t have stopped shit if anything it’d be different wack niggas in Lil’ Wayne’s place.

      2. LMAO Wayne changed the mixtape game definitely. I think People will realize that eventually. The Carters 1-3 are all classics with great concepts. “Fly-in” is my favorite intro to any Rap album. The Drought is Over 2, Drought 3, Dedication 2, I Can’t Feel My Face…4 classic Mixtapes. From 2004-2008, That’s the most hungry i’ve seen ANY Rapper period. Everybody deserves their opinion on who is the GOAT…If you love money it’s Jay-z, If you love lyrics it’s either Tupac or Nas, Respect the Gangstas it’s Notorious B.I.G., Underdogs: DMX, Performance: Lil Wayne

    72. Dont celebrate to fast yall…he might be pullin a “Jay-z” and say he’s retiring just as a pr stunt to increase record sales. Dont fall for it!!

      1. That’s what I think too. I think Wayne’s just after attention. If he is retiring, good, then great rappers can start to undo the damage he’s done to the genre.

    73. “substance has nothing to do with big words”

      Songs are driven by words. When I said big words I was referring to Nas, or Common. There’s definately a place for substance in songs, but IMO, hip hop is about entertainment, and what has consistently sold are the songs about nothing.

      1. ABOUT NOTHING? A MILLI IS ABOUT MONEY. HEADLINES IS ABOUT POWER. LOLLIPOP IS ABOUT SEX AND WOMEN. OF COURSE THAT IS ABOUT NOTHING FOR U BECAUSE U ARE AN AVERAGE UGLY BROKE ASS NIGGA THAT WILL ONLY GET LAID BY UGLY ASS WHITE CHICKS OR AVERAGE BLACK WOMEN. NOW GO GET A HARD ON LISTENING TO NAS AND KRS-ONE

    74. Pac was an undercover faggot. If Wayne was grown around when Pac was alive he would of exposed that fuckin THUG-WANNABE POSER!

      Bitch niggas gon’ hate

    75. I’m not buying it. It’s as simple as that; I’m not buying it.

    76. “ABOUT NOTHING? A MILLI IS ABOUT MONEY. HEADLINES IS ABOUT POWER”

      Alot of rage there lil guy. What happened? Did Wayne not autograph your skateboard? Did Drake not share his last Canada Dry with you? Did Rick Ross beat you down and take your In and Out Burger?

    77. i`m skating and im rapping at tha same damn time. i said id might retire but yall know i be high – weezy on his last mixtape deication 4
