Jay-Z Ponders Coming Out Of Retirement
 

Source

Hip-hop superstar Jay-Z is planning a comeback two years after hanging up his microphone, because he misses performing.

The star retired in 2003, insisting he wanted to quit at the top of his game, but sources say he is struggling to stay away and isn't satisfied with his behind-the-scenes role as the president of Def Jam Records.

So much so, he's reportedly heading back to the studio to record a new album.

A source tells the New York Daily News, "He's looking to get an album out by the beginning of summer, says a source close to the performer. It's on his radar.

"He's been talking with (Island Def Jam chairman) Antonio 'LA' Reid about it. The guest spots (he's done) made him miss recording. He looks around and knows there aren't a lot of people, except maybe Kanye (West), who can touch him."

fuck jay-z...he ain't been tight for awhile now...

No buddy you wanna hear that 'in the streets, drug shit' because you live vicariously through it.

Coming out of retirement? At his age? But he's so old.

Saw this coming before he retired.

Really not a surprise ... but I don't see nothing wrong about it . He's one of the only rappers throwing out cds that I still enjoy listening too

that fool's been on remixes and tracks all over the place, how is that considered retired? lmao...

Surprise, surprise.... this was as inevitable as the sun coming up this morning.

Other then his old 90's stuff the best stuff "he's" done in awhile is Dj Danger Mouse's mashup, The Grey Album. That shit was tight.

Yeah the Grey Album was great.

he turned way too commercial for me...

you nigaz I iz da shizzle yo

There is a big surprise :eyecrazy

You fuckin smell like curry.

I smellz like gin coz gin and juice where's da party tonight, yo

Retired from making solo albums...

He really does have to start rapping about something besides himself though.

he should retire hes just gonna get shitter

I'm not surprised, too bad cause he went out good in his last video 99 problems with him getting shot at the end.

I heard about this a while ago, he was goin to make a album to teach 50 Cent a lesson, since 50 thinks he is the king of new york.

You should have just left it at:

"Jay-Z Ponders Coming Out"

Jay-Z is supposedly holding a concert in October where he is going to Declare War on some of the top artists in the industry.

Stay Tuned.

Jay-Z looks like one of the cartoon characters in Fat Albert!

i liked the black album, but i think that pharell helped to sell his units in a big way.

fan of Jay Z... I've got all his stuff. It's cool if he does

I actually think pharell producing that lead single was detrimental to his sales.

would be nice, the grey remix album was awesome.

I really don't think he's hurting form it.

Strictly a business move...... :thumbsup

i think his fans sorta expected this, for the longest time he was saying how jay-z was dead and hov is alive he's gonna come back as HOVA... no doubt about it

ahhh, i see...so that was the FINE PRINT wasnt it?

You're uninformed, so please save some face and withhold those unfounded opinions.

uninformed? he made this big announcement about retiring (they even bid him farewell at the VMA's or some other crappy show) and now hes thinking about coming back?
