In a recent interview with MTV News, hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne (real name: Dwayne Carter) revealed that he plans to retire after the release of his album "Tha Carter V." Wayne claims he's been rapping since he was eight years old and burst onto the scene as a star at 16. In the mid-2000s, the Grammy-winner emerged as a solo force in rap, putting out the "Dedication" mixtape series that has been deemed a classic.

After his successful album releases in "Tha Carter" series, Wayne also helped grow his father Birdman's label Cash Money Records. He even established his own company, Young Money Entertainment, which boasts major artists Drake, Nicki Minaj and Christina Milian. And of course, he helped popularize the catchphrase "remix, baby," which he says in every song that features the technique with his verses.

Keep in mind, "Tha Carter V" won't be released in the near future. First his upcoming album "I Am Not a Human Being II" will hit stores on February 19, 2013. "Tha Carter V," Wayne's 11th and possibly final CD, will follow that. Don't get too discouraged, Weezy fans. Jay-Z once retired in his early ‘30s and returned soon after. As for what Wayne would do if and when he leaves the music biz, the rap mogul says he'd be a sports analyst and skate all day instead of being in the studio. Sounds like a plan. What do you think: Should Lil Wayne retire?

By this time in Lil' wayne's career he has been around so long that the only reason that anybody even listens to him anymore is just cuz he has been around for so many years. Plus he is way overrated and out of date. And his voice is annoying.

He is my favorite but I have to go with yes because his music just sucks now, plain and simple. He should have retired with the release of Tha Carter III in 2008. In 2004-2007 he gave us alot of classic deep rap with great beats and everything, before he went mainstream with the autotune and those ugly club bangers. Sadly those popular songs are the ones people know about, so I don't blame people who hates him, they don't know better. Saying he ain't talented is insane tho, he just ain't focused on the music anymore, he would rather skateboard and spend time with is kids growing up.

Truthfully.. I do kinda like his stuff.. and i hate modern rap.

He got a 1up from me because of his collaboration with Porcelain Black..

And no i'm not ashamed. Seems like a lot of people are. I like things that are different;

somethings might sound like nails on a chalkboard to you might actually hit a spot in me/other people.

I respect this guy.

He done a lot better then all of you so calm it.. the mean things coming outa people's mouth make me sick inside.
