Re: wayne will retire at the age of 35

Almost all artists have said that they were going to retire at different ages, did they? no some are still going and some are dead.

Re: wayne will retire at the age of 35

It's like an athlete trying to leave the game when they are on top. Wayne has a lot left in him but I think he will walk away when he's no longer enjoying what he was born to do and that's entertain us lyrically. He may step away for a while to spend some time with his kids but all that does is create that demand for more songs but at a slower pace. Wayne will always be part of the game and will be around forever just as Pac, Biggie, Jay from Run DMC, and many others.

He mentioned the same thing in The Carter documentary. And that was around C3. Wayne is a man of his word I guess.

Re: wayne will retire at the age of 35

While that doesn't sound like a long time from now, it actually is, in a way. I mean think about the past 7 years in his and your life. So much happens and in 7 years so much more crap will happen. Think about it realistically, Wayne says he doesn't sleep much and he is constantly at work, which is because of his love for music and his "obligation" to full-fill the demand from fans. With that in mind, I'm sure he is mentally and physically realizing that he won't be able to do that in 7 years. If you work yourself to the extreme day in a day out, your body can't keep up.

He has been making music since he was 15(?) or something around that number and he is 28 now. That's basically his whole life this has all he has been doing. The game is changing and maybe Wayne can tell that when he is 35, he will be seen a legend like Pac, Biggie, Jay (41 yrs old), Andre 3000 (35 yrs old), etc. Minus the first two, Jay and Andre basically just do features now and look at their ages. That or Wayne realizes there is nothing else for him. Everyone has heard the saying "Too much of a good thing is a bad thing" or of the term Paradise Syndrome = a term used by some to refer to a condition in which a person suffers a feeling of dissatisfaction despite having achieved all their dreams.

When he say retire, I'm thinking he's meaning he will not make another album. He will still be a part of music in some way. He could try doing the producing side of the industry (I doubt this but just an idea). I'm sure he will do several features for YMCMB artist and his good friends. Other than that, I'm sure he wants to actually have a semi-normal life with his family. By that time (if his daughter continues with the music) that will be the time to pass the torch down to her. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he is thinking also.

another point to make is that while wayne is retired they will be releasing all the music that he has recorded over the years obviously
