Well, since his album is called Before I Self-Destruct...
Self-destruct = Retirement

wasnt he gonna retire after the curtis album too? make up your mind ya staying or leaving

I don't get the deal with retiring before you're 40 in the music industry.... first Jay-Z said he was gonna do it then (but then he didn't), now 50 might.... for all of us hard workers in the real world who don't make millions of dollars, we have to work until we are in our 60s at the earliest until we can retire.

I Hope So
