We’ve heard those words before,”I’m going into retirement”, from sooo many different hip hop artists, such as Jay-Z, Master P, Eminem and so forth. But for some reason, they just can’t leave the game alone. They all come back one or two years later with a debut album. Jay-Z is by far the worst, if you ask me. He has retired like 4 times, but just keeps coming back. I don’t and won’t believe it anymore if he says it again. Now, it just seems like a big publicity stunt to get people to buy their CDs because it’s the last time they will hear from them.

Now, Lil Wayne is claiming that he will retire, but no time soon. His retirement plan says that he will stay in the game no longer than 8 more years.Wayne claims that he always said that he wouldn’t rap anymore after the age 35. Ha, he says that now. A lot of people agree that rappers and hip hoppers shouldn’t be old and should retire to allow new game to come into the industry. But Jay-Z being an old head, of course, doesn’t agree. He says that it shouldn’t be made easy for the youngsters coming into the hip hop game. If they want to be on top, they’re going to have to work hard for it. Heck, it wasn’t made easy for Jay. Back then, there wasn’t as much competition as there is now, even if a lot of them are low-level rappers. People like these stars because they make good club bangers. After Lil Wayne retires, he’s looking to own a basketball team.

So it seems hip hop artistLil Wayne has been quite busy producing these past two years — no not music…babies! With all of the rumors and speculation surrounding Lil Wayne’s and Nivea’s hook-up, it has been recently confirmed that the two are now expecting a baby. This will be Lil Wayne’s fourth child and Nivea’s first. Come to find out, she is so far along that they already know that it will be a Lil Wayne jr. Yes, a lil boy is on the way, how glorious. But this boy won’t get the blessing of being the first, he is actually the third son of Lil Wayne in a little over a year. And Nivea makes the fourth baby momma. Wow…hasn’t someone been busy? With all of this counting, you could easily get thrown off track. Okay, let’s try this.

Lil Wayne’s first son was born last October in Cincinattti and then in September of ‘09, his second son came from the actress Lauren London and now Nivea is having his third son. He has a daughter, Reginae, from an older relationship with his ex-wife Antonia “Toya” Carter. When Lil Wayne was asked if Nivea was pregnant with his child, his response was “Yessir”. Then one reporter stated, “Two women pregnant at the same time. Congratulations.” Lil Wayne replied “Three.” No, he doesn’t have three women prego at the same time, what he actually meant was that it would be son number three. Hopefully all goes well and he takes care of his children and be a bit more responsible. Marry one of these women at least!

Fifty cent is well-known for his controversial style — he’s had beef with popular rap stars like Ja Rule and Fat Joe. The beef between Ja Rule and 50 cent spread quickly when it hit the streets. Everyone kept a close ear and eye on what was going on between the two and wondered who would win the rap war. Each came out with serious lyrics in songs towards one another, but the one that came out on top was Fifty Cent. He clowned Ja Rule enough to make everyone turn against him and then infamously shutting down his career. This was only the beginning for the conquest of Fifty. Next on his list were a few others, including the recent Fat Joe. After his popular song, “Lean Back”, Fifty Cent came out with a song that dissed Fat Joe and shut down his career. He tried coming back out with another album, but people just weren’t buying his album like they used to.

There is talk that Fifty Cent is looking to shut down even more careers — and has a focus on Lil’ Wayne. This may seem a bit impossible to do. The whole swagger and rap style of Lil’ Wayne has gotten him to where he is today. He’s known for wearing extra baggy jeans, iced out medallions with long chains and long dreadlocs. Many are waiting to see what dirt Fifty has to dish on Wayne, but guess we’ll have to wait and see what he comes out with.
