Retirement!?...


"...Although, to the dismay of his fans, endeavors outside of the music industry like Righteous Kung Fu are gradually pulling him away from making hip-hop. But it’s not like the music business isn’t pushing him away either. In a bizarre self-imposed arrangement, Fiasco plans on recording only three albums. For someone who has generated so much anticipation, this move seems a bit premature. Fiasco begs to differ.

“I want to do enough to get what I want to say off my chest and then go on to the next thing,” he says. “Plus I’ve been doing it for so long behind the scenes. It’s like my sixth or seventh year in the music business so I’m just tired of the whole scene. As long as you’re doing music and doing albums, you’re forced to be in the scene, so I got enough stamina I think for three.”

Fiasco was only 18 when he first got signed (with his short lived group, Da Pak), so despite experiencing some unforgettable moments being an MC — like chilling with Jay-Z at his house — he looks forward to expressing himself in ways other than behind a mic."
