RUMOR: Kanye West Is Contemplating RETIRING FROM HIP HOP!!!

: We may have heard the last official Kanye West album ... or at least that's what the rumors are. MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with a very influential music exec who claims that rapper Kanye West is contemplating retirement after his Glow In The Dark tour.

The music insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "He's been through a lot in the past year and I know he's just not into [music] like he was before." The insider added, "When I spoke to him, he just kept talking about how he wanted to go into fashion. [To] create his own label and all that."

And according to our insider, it wouldn't be the worst move for him. The executive told MediaTakeOut.com, "Right now he's at the top of his game ... and it's always best to go out on top."

Kanye, please tell us thaty you're just talking mess and you're not gonna leave hip hop for a career in fashion. We're not sure that hip hop could survive without you.....

beautifully_tia

Offmymind

Kanye will never retire, he's too damn arrogant to step out of the spotlight he needs the attention and admiration too bad, he feeds off of it..He's just saying that sh*t so his fans will beg him to not retire and stroke his little, weak ass ego.


jman0106

Do us all a favor and retire. We could do without hearing this man complain all of the time. I will plan the retirement ceremony myself.


wild-out

Please retire Ye. Do us all a favor. I tired of your [EXPLETIVE] like tantrums, foolish fashion statement and out right ignorant statements. Go 2 fashion so u & Puffy can slap fight, design man panties and pretend 2 b straight!!! P.S. Take 50 wit ya!!!


upsouthboy

chace

I doubt it but he does need a break. He's been in the media lately and it's been all negative press. He should also sign up for anger management. He has a hot temper!!!


Msw2010

what is up with rappers retiring?


foxyloxy2000

HE SHOULD JUST TAKE A VACAY... HE'S BEEN BUGGIN THE FUKK OUT LATELY CALLING PEOPLE OUT IN BLOGS AND SH!T


h2o

artist's and their sensitive as ses!


charmcityking

Don't do it Ye I need to hear more classics! Take a break if u need 2, but don't retire...u inspire a lot of aspiring emcess like myself!


Ms_Afghanistan2008

In my country... We shall all run out and buy his album now that we know it shall be his last.

Lets see thats 12 albums in my village, which is considered platinum... in my country.



brownspade

Hope lil waynes record sells, (i.e. 1,000,000 Units sold in a week)and the fact that he's being crowned as the new king of hiphop, didn't encourage ye's descision to retire... I strongly hope this is not the case.


dollfacekillah

first of all, hip hop was doing just fine without kanye and would be just fine if he up and left.

second, we all no his a$$ isn't going anywhere. all he wants is people to beg him to stay. and say crap like hip hop won't be the same without him. please. he's a big baby. honest. he whines more than my three year old.


PrettyBoi

Yea i'll beleive this bullsh*t when i see it. every rapper thats put the "im gonna retire" BS out there aint done it. & who "retires" from an entertainment carrer while theyre still young & successful anyway? nobody thats who. he'll retire when the public stops buyin his sh*t & his label drops his ass. another publicity stunt to sell more records. lol.


P1toBrown

Im sick of his BitchAss wining all da Time!!! He got a few hott tracks but I really dont give a Phuck if he retire!!!!


P1toBrown

Joell Ortiz is a breath of fresh air rhyming!! This hiphop [EXPLETIVE] is watered down now man! Imma 80's baby homie, we dont listen to half these garbage ass [EXPLETIVE] in the industry now. We want that real hiphop back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Chocolicious81

Whatever...I don't beleive it, he gotta have something to feed his constant need for self gratification. He'd die if he wasn't a celebrity.

Kanye is a ill producer though. I can't hate on him.


najeeba

yeah right! maybe! www.theceelist.com


darknlovely1

If true, theres nothing wrong with him changing careers, im a fan of his music but he has been through alot such as losing his mother etc...if he wants to make a change, i respect that.


vermoo

GOOD RIDDANCE!!


lanynga

Wow, I hope this is just a rumor. I like Kanye West. I think he would be missed if he left the game.


VicSage

@P1toBrown

Real Talk my dude I Co-Sign 110% Brooklyn Lives-B.I.G.


Mz_Doagae

If only this were really true...I really can not stand this dude...


DimuRyder

NazkarMonte03 is sexy get at me!!! kanye dont need 2 retire the rap game needs him. unlike all of your beloved and hyped lil wayne who really cant rap!!!!


AndrewAshton

it might be necessary. his remix to lolipop was o so horrible. (even though i still rap along to it if nothing else is on) but hes a lil jay-z; after that junior album, you start calling out retirements to make sure you're fans still give a [EXPLETIVE]


MoneyMakers

HE'S BEEN THROUGH A LOT AND NEEDS TO TAKE SOME TIME AND REGROUP...WITH HIS PASSION FOR WHAT HE DOES...HE WILL RETURN...I WISH HIM THE BEST!



VivaLake

Good|


Kmack74

I KNOW Kanye is not tryna pull a Jay Z on us!


GoodLove

And it isn't even my birthday. Praise God! Fa Real Kanye is really not anything to listen to or to look at. I personally favor every song he bit to the ones he constructed off the backs of all the talented black folks hard work and actual talents.(who never really got paid like that) He's a sham and if he thinks he is going to create some line of clothes he better get some taste.


Dis_Ya_Gurl08

WHAT IS WRONG WITH KANYE'S MOUTH, ITS ALWAYS SO TIGHT. HE ALWAYS LOOK SO ANGRY. HE NEEDS 2 LOOSEN THE HELL UP.


mizike

HE NEEDS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE.....I'M TIRED OF THAT MOFO ANYWAY...


ysn514

yo im tired of this retirng [EXPLETIVE] with rappers an singers teachers and doctors retire not no rappers!!!

ever since jay-z said that dumb [EXPLETIVE] everyone uses that term, just like when he said greatest rapper alive

oh kanye west is not a rapper he has no flow and his performance at the BET awards was garbage!


Himpressive

Who cares.....He is such a egotistical lad... he is just too much.. i surly would'nt miss him


ladylump

Bye... Kanye spits fire, but sometimes I swear he wears a lace thong.


TROOPER

DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHIIT.


jsime

Good!! Who cares about that big ass baby. Retire now Kanye!!


RicFlair

In five days when he gets off of his period, he'll start working on his comeback cd!!


DivaTV_BayArea

u industry nigggas are dumb wack, plan fake retirement$ just to come back!

>>> watch Diva TV in the Bay Area & online


SouthernGul

Goodbye! He always crying anyway.


AJV01

OK, we all know Kanye is a drama king and a "Divo" (Super Sweet 16)....yeah, yeah, yeah... @ PrettyBoi, i SAW your cakes and now i want to eat them!! IM CO-SIGNIN on PrettyBoi's pastries... GO TO THE WEBSITE! Now i'm hungry... Good luck and let's support each other....


jade516

DON'T CONTENPLATE JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN...YIPPIE!!!!

THEN WE WON'T NEED TO HEAR ANYTHING YUR BITTER AZZZ HAS TO SAY ANYMORE....SOOOOO LONG.



XMzSarcaztikX

Bye bye cry baby! The only reason you got a BET award is because it's BET. Meaning, Jay Z hasn't shown up to a BET ceremony in how long? Meaning, it's not for "real hip hop" anymore. Get it? If Lil Wayne is the cornerstone of hip hop, then I'm going back to the 80s (where I belong anyway LOL). I mean, Kanye, you're talented, but let's not get beside ourselves here. You are defintley NOT a king in this game and Wayne is NOT the best rapper out there today. YIKES


MissAmErica1007

umm... i won't be amongst the masses who will miss him. I'm hoping he not gonna retire just to come back out again like Jay-Z...


MRTEK

kanye is a bird!!!!


Slickly_Swift

we all know every rapper does this as a publicity stunt


Larenz

WE WISH HE'D RETIRE


strawcream

Kanye seem to be a bit sad since his woman left his azz. I'm sure he know he messed up BIG TIME WITH A GOOD AZZ WOMAN...Like most Black Men do...Not all but a large percentage just do not give fukc!

I must admit we all make mistake nobody perfect we do fall short...but Kanye was rapping and talking about this and that like he was so RIGHTESOUS ....and REAL like most entertainers today.........PHONEY AZZ HELL!

Kanye might of been set up by Alexis she done pull a CHEATERS ON HIS AZZ!


chi-hop

yall blind and deaf people talkin mad greasy but see where music will be w/o him kanye also produces other people to so go head and talk sh** then yall will be pouting if he fades to black no kanye west or jay-z? i'm not trying to hear it it's other tight artist out there common,talib queli,lupe fiasco etc. etc. but we need as many REAL artist who love what they do as we can fuggin get and yall talkin greasy he throws too many tantrums etc. etc. i don't give a FUGG i care about the dayum MUSIC!! i think yall a lil dramatical yall dayum selves if someone does such n such or not enough such n such wtf that got to do with the fuggin MUSIC????CHI-TOWN STAND UP BULLS#1 PICK TONIGHT!! DERRICK ROSE SIMEON WOLVERINES MOFOS!!

champhf

bebeswagga

i really hope he doesn't retire ; he's my fav rapper. real ; and gives you a story. dang; all we would have left is wack ass wayne and soulja boy. next thing you know ; it'll be lupeeee. =/


Dannygog

Why not retire?? Afterall, there are many other avenues to pursue. Everyone has a calling which exceeds over and above WHATEVER they are doing at the present time.


CayennePeppa504

Jay-z must have put him up to this publicity stunt just he filled Bey's head with it to fool the public. But anyway.... He should really think about working behind the scenes because having all those tantrums like a 3yr. old is getting tired and makes him look bad. JMO!!!



theblackbarbi

OH PUH-LEASE KANYE!

rip Donda West


Prudyy

Slow down!!!!Can you guys give him some attention PLEASE, sometimes he be out to lunch.


anonyj

NO BABY YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE GAME SERIOUSLY NEEDS YOU[SPAM]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have enough rappers with clothing lines, man!!! What we need is your ridiculous talent and crazy ego!!


ladylove28

Even if he does retire as a rapper he still would be good because he would still do something in the enterainment industry he still will probably make beats but kanyeezy u da sheeezy 4 reeezy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nik0

Yes... He really needs to re-evaluate his ADHD azz, it's not enough for them to say he's #1 right now he has to run around telling everyone. He deserves props for his work, but the truth is Wayne still #1 so Kanye go sit cho over dramatic azz down take a break before you explode you big headed bitch azz diva


kristieboo

he will never retire from hip hop! he has always been involved with hip hop whether it be producing, writing, or rapping. yes he is launching his own clothing line, pastel, which may become his main focus but hip hop will always be his heart i'm sure. he has too many complex emotions to write about.


bigbangtheory

forget Kanye - I lost respect for his cocky cry baby @ss


thefirstangel011

N[SPAM]OO !!!!!... DON'T DO IT... LOL...

He aint goin nowhere...he jus frontin...he'll miss himself to much...

I LUV KANYE <3


thefirstangel011

How no get spamed...MTO step ya game up


SoThenISaid

Kanye: Hey crybaby Nancy, don't let the door hit ya...

F*ckin' narcissist


ok_and

I love Kanye, I think he's one of the most talented artist today. He has substance, he's about something, and he's creative. However, His EGO is wayyyyyyyyyy to big to retire, he's just being emotional...


ChicaGOrilla7

I Fell Like Its Still Nigg*s That Owe Me Checks, I Feel Like Its Still Bit*hes That Owe Me Sex


breezy1010

Thank God! lol... Ye used to be a phenominal rapper, until he got so wrapped up in himself and forgot to stay conscious.


stinka

this fool aint going nowhere...he's an attention ho, like all them other rappers. don't make false promises kanye.


tempertease

he got his money now go to canada somewhere and chill and eat cookies



nickycole34

IF KANYE DOES RETIRE I THINK IT'S SAFE 2 SAY THAT HE'S STILL GRIEVING HIS MOM'S UNTIMELY DEATH. LORD KNOWS HE'S RICH ENOUGH 2 RETIRE NOW.


brillyaunce

yea, his bitch ass should retire,


SoSerious4life

Please Kanye reconsider!

Hip Hop is already at it's breaking point. If he retire, than we'll be stuck with garbage ass rappers like Lil Wayne, and Soulja Boy, Young Berg(that's a joke), Bow Wow, etc....That will definitely be jacked up.

....But I really don't believe he'll be retiring anytime soon.


msprettynsweet

OMG get over yourself! WTF do these celebs think they really doin? like jigga, the game an now ye' "retiring" thats for people with legitimate jobs who been workin 30+ yrs not no phuckin rap artist! People in the real world go to work n make a pay check till they practically frail n grey before they "retire" not spend time in a studio, in videos and being misogynistic


Ihavearrive

Why not he's set for life!!


AKIEunique

THE BROTHER MADE SOME CLASSIC MUSIC!!DON,T GIVE A PHUCK BOUT HIS ATTITUDE!!!PEOPLE KILL ME!THEY LIKE HIS MUSIC,BUT DON,T LIKE HIM!!MAKES SENSE!SO WHAT IF HE IS ARROGANT,HE AIN,T TOWARDS ME!!AND TELL ME WHAT RAPPER AIN,T FEELIN THEMSELF!!EVERYONE WHO TALKS SH1T BOUT THE MAN,IF THEY WERE TO SEE HIM IN PERSON,IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY!!
