![]() ![]() If the God MC released a new album today, it would certainly be considered a comeback record, but there would be no talk of his “unretirement.” The industry has passed him by, but he’s never said that his career is over. But he’s never announced that he was stepping away from the mic. Take Rakim: The pioneering rapper hasn’t released a record since 2009’s The Seventh Seal and has made only scant appearances on wax in the last decade. On the other side of the retirement coin sits the greats of yesteryear. No one considers Jay-Z to be retired, at least officially. He released his most recent solo project in 2017. He returned with a new album three years later. In November 2003, Jay-Z staged the most famous farewell tour in hip-hop history, releasing what was intended to be the career-capping Black Album and hosting a sold-out sendoff in Madison Square Garden. Retirement isn’t a cut-and-dry thing for rappers.
