Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.You Played Yourself
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.

Future needs to retire
Yep, should retire.
He’s been corny for ages.
Wezzy give Gillie Da Kid ya pen again!!!! U haven’t been sharp since C2
Without a doubt Wack Weezy should retire immediately !
yes.
YES !!!
YES !!!
YES !!!
GO SELL TRUNKFIT !!!
Elliott Wilson Should Retire
Yea leave while he still has following. He peak already when he dropped Carter 3, music wise. I’m mean he sold a milli in a week and the music was passable. Even tho he did numbers with C4 that shit was hot garbage. Not a huge fan of Wayne but gotta that nigga props. He went from being a typical New Orleans rapper to slowly buiding his buzz to one of the best in the game. He murdered the mixtape game and no one can take that away from him. Since he got this whole kid image going on, I say yea its time to put down the mic.
Rick Ross should retire too.
“Don’t while your hot thats how Mase screwed up”
I say he shouldn’t retire unless he wants to. I liked “Carter IV”
People are dillusional if they think an artist isn’t going to have ups and downs. No one, not Wayne, Stevie Wonder, Prince, ever stays the same.
“No Worries” is a fun, funny track. And so is “Bandz Can Make Her Dance”
He needs to retire asap! Or hire his ghostwriters again cuz there is no way he is the same person that wrote the Carter 2.
Rick Ross NEEDS to retire! He brings nothing to the game
yes he should
yes, it will save hip-hop.
Retire!!! Sales don’t mean anything. Nelly & Wayne sold more than Rakim, G-Rap & Rakim. But those 3 are legends in Hip Hop. People confused Wayne’s work ethic for being nice. He throws 1 simple metaphor in between a garbage verse & this generation thinks he’s great. No cohesiveness in his songs. Retire!!!
Who do you think the hottest rapper in game this year is?
2 Chhhhaaaiiinnnzzz
J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar should retire… Ok now I’ll go kill myself
Wayne needs to take some time off, really focus on making Carter V a tight body of work to go out on. He’s just not hungry like he used to be.. but I think he’s got the potential to put out another great album if he’s willing to cut the bull and actually give a fuck about it
Yn gotta 412 hoodie!!!! Them dudes who sell those are faggots tho…real talk… Lol
stick to writing YN
your face isnt made for video
@forrealtho cosign

My list of people that need to retire and never return to hip hop!
YN
Lil Wayne
Rick Ross
Nicki Minaj
Future
Gucci Mane
Gunplay
Tony Yayo
Waka
^^
he shouldnt retire, i should just pull back a little and then come back stronger in about a yr or 2
He doesnt need to retire per se. Rappers feel they need to make an exit, but you still have rockers performing into their 60s. What he needs to do is stop with the bullshit tracks and make excellent bodies of work, tour off that, chill. Repeat. Doesnt have to be every year or constant features.
forrealtho is the only nigga that made sense on here tbh
Type A’s can’t retire. He thinks in rhyme, his wit and ability to rap outside the box hasn’t been heard lately but I know it lies right below the surface. All true artist go through periods of creative drought. Skating maybe the kick he needs to flip the page.
he needs a hiatus….
well if he gonna keep droppin wackness all the time then yes i dont think his hearts in music anymore he more concerned with poppin a kickflip with the niggas
Nah he should pull a Jay-Z and coat tail his protege to stay relevant in music…
WEEZY BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND HE SELLS MORE THAN YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER
YN ON THAT MOLLY!!!
If waybe would have overdosed right after the Carter 3 when top rapper talks were in, he would be mentioned with the greats…but we saw his downfall…even though he wasnt top 5 to begin with…but i think this dude just needs to take couple years off…no studio no nothing..he sounds bored of rap..take time off and find motivation a couple years later… either way he gona sell
RICK ROSS NEEDS TO RETIRE
HE HAS NO GREAT LYRICS
If wayne should retire than all these other guys you support should retire to. Why isnt anyone calling for 2 chainz, future, french montana, kirko, tyga and all these other wack rappers that have started they career off as being WACK. thatts the difference with weezy. He wasnt always like this he had dope shit. And that cant be argued. I rather give wayne time off to develop new flow then say he should retire an be stuck with all these wack rappers. some of u really need to re think ya life. How u ganna support future and then turn around and say wayne is wack. lmaoooooo I cant take it!
if Tha Carter V is gunna be anything like Tha Carter IV, then yea he should retire. It would be nice if he got back to his old self but this nigga fell off way too hard. I lost all hope for him.
i have no idea how this topic even came up, last thing id think is for wayne to retire. hes put in alot of work but hes still young and has a lot more to put in probably, agree w/ YN on this one,
thikning about it some mroe, waynes not going to reitre, whlie his lyrical quality might not be the same since the carter 3, he hasnt lost his spark to rap in mkaing witty metaphors and punchlines, he still has a lot of energy when he raps, cant really say the same for people like Eminem who expereinced a pretty big hiatus in his rap career
elliot i like ya but there is zero reason for these videos to be made if you’re gonna go with the predictable answer every time. you can’t like everything and be in everyones corner
“Retiring” in rap is only cool cause Hov did it first. What rapper has seriously “quit” near his prime (other than Ma$e)? This is a hype tool to garner interest in C5 …same as when Game did it a few years ago.
Without a doubt. Lil wayne is easily the most overrated entertainment figure ever.
Calling for “retirement” is an old game that has been played for years by every type of musician out there. The Rolling Stones & The Who have been saying that “this tour is the last tour” for about 30 years now!
Lil Wayne made a big mistake by calling himself “the best rapper alive”. While every artist should feel they are the best, they shouldn’t PROCLAIM they are the best. It’s silly and more importantly it brings the spotlight on you like a prison break. Ya sold a bunch of albums Weezy, but you don’t have hits like Jigga or cultural impact like Nas. What did ya bring to the game other than “wobble dee wobble” & Jeggings?
It’s time to enjoy the money that Baby/Slim let you have & work on that skateboarding thing. Eventually, Wayne will “return” on someone’s single that’s hot and ride that wave back. It’s a tired move in hip-hop and we see through you like Kate Upton bra-less in the rain.
@p0is0nedkoolA on twitter. the Lester Bangs of hip hop
take a few years off like he said, you don’t need the money. If you come with another record, aim it at the more serious hip hop heads and prove your caliber, enough with the fuckin gimmicks, the kids have had their fill of bullshit.
Yes. He has nothing else to say. Without him being high or drunk, he sounds incoherent. He sounded better high!! The metaphors he tries so hard to make sound forced and fake. He needs to give it up. He can’t reinvent himself so it’s better if he rides off into the sunset!!
You’re an idiot, he was never a great, or a lyricist. This is the second time you said some stupid ass s***. When your like Welcome to Our House & GKMC will not be classics
birdman lil wayne drake rick ross nicki all MMG & YMCM wacka gucci lil b wiz khalifa
i think one more album should determine wether he should hang it up or not. He already has one classic ( Carter 3) and he doesn’t have to worry about his Young Money brand because he got Nicki & Drake to carry the torch their huge on their own now, when they go platinum, he still gets paid.
Please god retire.
