Jay-Z Has No Plans For Retirement
Jay-Z sat down with Kevin Hart for an episode of the second season of his Hart To Heart series. In the interview, Jay-Z reflected on his brief retirement after The Black Album. He said at the time, he was burned out and needed a break. He had been releasing albums every year and had not taken a vacation until around 2000. Jay went on to say, “I’m not actively making music or making an album or have plans to make an album, but I never want to say that I’m retired. It’s a gift, so who am I to shut it off? And it may have a different form or interpretation. Maybe it’s not an album, maybe it is. I have no idea, but I’m just going to leave it open.”
