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.'”

How many times has Lil Wayne retired now? Pretty soon he’s going to have to retire from all this passionate retiring.
Yea right, the industry has his ass shackled he’s a cash cow.
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.
best news ever…
finally, do hip hop a favour and release this album already
Didn’t he say this last year??
Tha Carter V will be the most anticipated album of all time… jk won’t hate
not by me
there really is a god
Can’t wait for Tha Carter V.
I Said I Might Retire But Ya Know I Be High!!!
THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE BEST THANKSGIVING EVER!!!!!
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.
i never believed in god but i think i’m a believer now , THANK YOU GOD!
Can’t wait for his retirement. Hope he takes the whole Young Money crap with him
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
what a loser
http://theaudiodope.com/2012/08/02/lil-wayne-is-putting-rap-on-the-backburner-so-he-can-focus-on-skateboarding/
THHHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNKKKKKK……………….GGAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWDDDDDD
I hope he releases this album ASAP.
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.
bull, he said that about his last album to. they all say that shit for some reason
lil wayne is like that turd in the toilet that never flushes properly.
best comment ever
hahahaha had me rolling
FINALLY!!!
FINALLY
FINALLY!!! Best Thing i Heard this year!
100 COsign.
NOOO!!!!!! DON’T LEAVE MUSIC MR. CARTER!!!!!! YOU’RE MY IDOL AND ROLE MODEL!!!!!!
Now I gotta cry myself to sleep. Fuck my life.
Yeah, screw yourself because you don’t know what music is! Go listen to some Jimi Hendrix and Kendrick Lamar
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.
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.!
As much as I want this to be true, nobody ever fucking retires in the rap game…
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
this dude has said he’s gonna retire more times than i actually have.
This fools picture looks like he just soiled his pants thinking it was a simple fart letting out…
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.
Lil Wayne retires, that’s some good f*cking Hip Hop news
I hope Wayne gonna act like Nike ” Just Do It “
Birdman don’t let you retire!!!
Dont do it Wayne. You’re better than shitty New York and you keep making backpakers n nerds angry. That’s something to consider.
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.
Co-sign everything you just said. Dude used to be a beast on the mic. Now its nothing but garbage. Good riddance.
WELL FUCKEN SAID!!!
can’t*
spare us the bullshit album and just retire now
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.
Like it or not, he’s already on Elvis’ level statistically. I just hope his life won’t end as tragically.
Yeah, through features.
Elvis didn’t do features.
Sadatay
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.
This is the greatest news I’ve ever heard in my life.
Just wish he would retire before that wack shit drops.
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.
baby wont let him quit
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
Hahaha… Yeah lets see about that, Jay-Z Black Album who remembers that stunt??
what happpened ???you ran outta wack azz ghost writers….
hallelujah!
he sounds like a fucken robot, literally
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.
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.
If if only this were true….
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.
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.
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.
TX is a fagget anyone who leaves comments blasting people is because they have no life. fuck TX
Good, fuck this dude. I swear one time I talked to him on chatroullette and told him what a bitch he is til he nexted me lmao true story
true story lol fuck outta here
yesss.. thank GOD…omg this is the best news
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.
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

Co-sign. Even that LP was so-so for me.
Thank God
Legend of the fall off
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.
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!
i am almost certain lil waynedoes not wash his bootie hairs. look at him; i know his nutt stinks!
i bet his bootie stinks
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.
o shet thats good newz 4 Hip Hop. dis nigga realize he just cant compete.biatch.
it was said many times, but I say it again:
thanks god
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?
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
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!!!!!
@ 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!!!!!
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
add 2pac to the list man guy is legendary
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.
FUCK all you haters!
suck a big fat gross dick, cocksuckers!!!
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.
why does lil wayne look like a cock roach that was caught on fire.
*applauds*
from which muthafucka????????????????? or dx’s runnin from the truth???????????????????????
Well about fuckin time rap might actually get better, this has made me so happy.
Please retire now!!!
Best thing i heard all year, and its from Lil Wayne wtf haha.
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
Best news ever! Now burn every record by YMCMB! Most ugliest and wack rapper ever. Even MC Hammer had more skillz then Lil wayne
Better make Tha Carter 5 like Tha Carter 2 & 3 then.
Carter III was trash. C2 was his last good album.
correction the carter 2 was his only good album!
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. 🙁
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 …
I don’t believe him. There’s been others that have said the same thing, and didn’t.
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.

By retire I hope he means catch a seizure and die!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Damn.
he’s needs more free time to kiss grown men on the lips!

thank god
good news, now drake and nicky linaj out of the game
Thanks God, do us all a favor and gtfo!
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!
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.
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.
GREAT…HURRY UP AND RELEASE CARTER V THEN!!!
fuck is wrong wit sway acting all nervous and shit, u a fukin legend fuk boy wayne got u all fucked up and shit.
THAT NIGGA ACTING LIKE A AN EXCITED LIL GIRL
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.
THIS FAKE JUST MADE CAUSE HE CAN’T DICKRIDE HARDER THAN ME THE REAL YESSIR.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank. God.
That news is too good to be true.
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.
Nigga shut your bitch ass up.
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.
wayne is taking a break he will be back
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.
Taking a break isn’t retirement.
They’ve sold over 500 million singles. No way Wayne walks away anytime soon.
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…
A la Jay-Z.
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.
I fully agree
Something worse would have to come along for that to happen.
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!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! GOOD JOKE.
This nigga gon come out the closet and start releasing lovesongs with men. Bank on it.
LMAO
HAAHAHAHA
ABOUT TIME.. CORNY ASS FAGGOT
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.
He did impact the game. But he didn’t open the rap music door for the masses.
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.
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.
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.
god dammit wayne, get your head out of your ass bro, THE GAME NEEDS YOU!
Needs him like a 3rd tit
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

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
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.
i don’t think he is regular “hatering” – he back up his points….

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)
Only pre-teens buy records… so that explains ur sell argument…

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.
Kill yourself, dumbass Wayne groupie.
!!!
Lil Wayne made history as one of the worst rappers out.
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.
Wayne is pop dumbass.
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.
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
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
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
All that and you still can’t say he makes good music, well played.
The OP is a retarded Wayne stan.

I think that you are a cool person.
hahahahahahahahahahaahhaahhahahaah
why not retire now? save everyone the trouble
Fuck That Bitch Nigga !
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.
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!)
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.
until he comes back with an album after of course
Praise the lord!
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.
even in being the waackest rapper he doesn’t get the number 1 spot with 2Chainz n French Montana around…HA!
thanks lord you heard me!!
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!!!!
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.
LOL
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.
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.
i think he isnt talkin about sales here u dumbass
hey fuck boys above me, hes TROLLING you fags, now go listen to some beat ass paris hilton and wayne song
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.
lmao sounds true
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.

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
finally someone says what everyone’s thinking. also drake >>> biggie, tupac & big l combined
anyone who disagrees iz a bitch hater
Lazy shitty ass trolls.
DRAKE >>>>>>> TUPAC
Revolutionary shit, you’re hilarious.
Both BOY and Marcus are fucking idiots.
Weezy says he might retire, but y’all know he be high.
“Some people just prefer artists with some substance”
Substance meaning what, they use big words that put people and speakers to sleep?
substance has nothing to do with “big words”, its about songs having a focus, with some sort of variety of subject matter
“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.
I read that comment and it didn’t seem sarcastic. Unless it was you trying to be…..
The weed be making these Rappers change their mind like the weather
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.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !
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.
Same thing with 50
No thanks, because he still sounds like a retard and has one of the worst flows ever.
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.
Please read that up before you start talking shit, even the game got something like 15 million just of the Documentary hahahaha.
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).
You do know that Eminem has sold literally over 100 million albums worldwide, right?
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?
This kid stupid as Wayne. Nice.
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.
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…
THANK THE LORD!!!
This is a day to be celebrated, hopefully he goes through with it.
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.
“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.
but they’re not. we are stuck with this shit for now
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.
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
good joke, stan. you just made up some bullshit.
thank god im glad for this monkey
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!!
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.
“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.
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
pwned.
pwned! ! !
!!pwned! ! !
!!pwned!!
pwned
You got served daayuum!!
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
good joke.
I agree lol
Thank God
I’m not buying it. It’s as simple as that; I’m not buying it.
“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?
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
the best rapper alive
you are amazing men
Don’t retire Weezy! You’re like the BEST rapper in my books!
