^^ yea Blueprint was a good album and he shoulda jus stopped then cuz obviosly everythin after blueprint was as good , but I think to him I mean what does he care its more money.After rappers become famous they jus dont give a fuck as much about being ill jus the cash. Jus take for example Snoop and Nas, they havnt still topped their first albums, and they probly never will.

^ True, But I would rather do other more creative shit with that money. But I think Nas is ganna top his last CDs with that mix coming out this year. Got alot of hype, and if the CD can live up to the hype. Then his shit will be straight. Snoop is done, LOL... Nice points proven hommie ^

Nah, he could stay in it for a while longer.
Overrated: Yes
Freakin' Great: Yes

He's not the best but he shouldn't retire. He gave Nas free range to whomp on his ass when he did that shit.

Jay z went off on the black album he can retire he's still gonna be paid he's a business man. He got ma brand of chlothes Roca-wear, Roc-a-fella.His nokia black album phone
S.carters,and most of all he got a dime beyonce wit her mic hoggin azz but yall un dastand what im saying

he shouldnt retire hes fucking awesome in my opinion

Damn, why so many DR's on Jay-Z???

well its a bit late coz he has, i still thought he should of brought out 1 more, he still had it left in him!!

no i think hes doing pretty good he shouldn't

i think he should do another album...cause ive been liking him more as time progresses

Jay Z didn't kick Sean Paul off to perform that's just a rumor but he's pretty good as far as freestylin i don't know some of his stuff is tight but some like change clothes is just wack well that's with all artists. If his hearts still in it he shouldn't retire but if it's not than he can go.

He shouldn't because he's hott but he is getting pretty old and you can see where he's coming from cuz ROC has got so much young talent and I think he just wants to put all of his attention into doing that. So the answer is no but I can see where Hova's coming from with his retirement.

Naw, But If The Man Dont Retire Than The Rest Of The Roc Aint Gone Eat.he Probably Feels There Really Aint No Reason To Keep Rappin Cuz There Aint Nobody Even Close To Fuckin Wit So He Just Has To Let The Little Homies Get Their Piece Of The Pie Until Some Real Talent Hits The Industry

*ansewering tha title*
Yes cuz he's an overrated faggot
IMO

I personally think Jay is a way past ill artist and its a shame that hes retirin cuz his shit is hot. But if you think about it from his point of view, i mean 9 albums the game must be gettin pretty old about now, movies or whateva hes doin will be a fresh start, and hey, if he ever feels like doin music again, he can always just go on back hahaha. I dont think he should quit now but he obviously thinks thats whats best for him so whateva

If he feels he should retire then he should...it's his own decision.
He feels it's time for change!

I think Jay Z should retire although I love his music he has been here thru almost everything I think he's done his share in the hip hop world any way the black album was tight

I deeply believe that Jay should go ahead and throw in the towel. I mean what reason does he have to continue to rap? He own's his own record label, plus he has singed top knoch act's. He's set for life.

i dont think he should retire but i dont think he is the best i mean he ill but eminem is betta n i think em proved it on the collab they did call renegades wen he murked the song ....

jay is overrated so badly now.. before when he started off, no one knew who he was.. now everyone knows him and they think hes like the god of rap..when really hes no where close, he is alright, but people give him to much props that he doesnt deserve... he does get some dope ghost writers some times though ;)

ohh..and to answer the question..well honestly, i dont really care, he should do what he wants..if he wants to, then thats cool, if he dont then let him keep makin music...

i respect everyones opinion... but i have to go back to a question some *SHOULD BE KILLED RETARD* said bout Chingy, 50, Snoop better then Jigga...OMG! That is a fuckin insult, honestly... a true hip hop fan understands this like a laughing matter, whY? I wont bother to answer dumb bitches, do some studying on rap

Jigga, well is sad he is retirin... but he retired on top.
Plus he can go handle his buissness, be wit beyonce, go round the world, WHAT MORE CAN U WANT?

Ya niggas hatin on Jigga, go find a dildo stick it up yo ass

nah man jay-z is aaiight...he anit da best but he's still cuts it tho....pz aaaiiggghhttt!!!!

Jay-Z should have just left before he made the black album...He has nothing...may be a legend, but not to me.

Casper

duhh he shouldn't retire. I thought he shoulda a couple albums ago, but the black album is sick. But oh well he's gonna do it anyways so wtf. DMX shouldn't retire either, and he's 20x better than Jay so wuddduuuup :thumbup:

hell nah he shouldnt retire. hes one of the best out there.

i aint gon lie that nigga does got skill, and over the years he has had a lot of punchlines and metaphors that i thought were ill enough to be legendary, but when its compared to the rest of his shit, its simply NOT enough. It takes more than a couple bars once a year to actually BE a legend. Plus he got a lot of commercial BULLSHIT.

So in my opinion, FUCK 'EM, he should've quit a long time ago.

Jay-Z should retire cause he dont get the respect he need to be gettin. Like he said when he die thats when hes gonna get it.

yeah he gettin old...but still is hott...maybe he should...i dunno

^^
 

Retire..... I wouldnt mind an EP and a mixtape every few years but not full releases... Let Nas get his crown... He deserves it.. And hasnt let the mainstream throw him out the loop into popland...

No...

He's Still Got A Yr

Never cared about Jay-Z.

He's good and I think he shouldn't retire but he should take a subaticle.

Yes, Yes, yes, get this overrated, industry, back-street boy of rap fuck outta the scene. His shit just reeks industy.

jay-z shud definitely retire his ass
stick to what he's gud at 'smokin the rock'

no he shouldn't!!!!

best rapper alive....period!!

all you lot hatin on jay, yeh hes made mistakes like bonnie n clyde sellin out for money but the black album shows hes still the best mainstream artist, reasonable doubt is the greatest debut album of all time in my opinion, jigga is the best at everything he does!

readin through this thread jus frustrates me, people sayin jigga doesn't get enough respect so he shud retire, shut the fuck up!!! all you newbs shud jus keep quiet, jiggas dope n anyone who knows anything about rap knows this!

i also read someone sayin dmx is beta than jigga? HAHAHA thats all i've gotta say on that!!!

ok dis is what fink... He should have a break, concentrate of producing then make a big comeback. :D

He old n rich!!! Rich rappas cant rap. Its gotta come from the heart.

jay-z shouldn't retire

Reasons:

1.) Came and blew up
2.) The Roc isn't the same without him
3.) the rap game is incomplete without him

:shoot: :help:
