VIA DX:

In other news, R&B singer, songwriter The-Dream has announced he will be ending his solo career. Much like Bow Wow and Soulja Boy before him, the Atlanta native made his retirement announcement late Thursday night via the social micro-site, Twitter.

“Being true to my word. I always answer the fans and followers. I am engaged and Love King ‘IS’ going to be my LAST album!” The-Dream wrote. In his Twitter statement, which is included in its entirety below, the self-proclaimed “Radio Killa” also added that he will continue to write for other artists and make featured appearances.

Solja Boy either…nobody really gives a significant f**k…How many albums did he drop anyways? 2 or 3…get the f**k outta here…and the remix to his 1 hit song sucked…

    See the problem with todays singers…no development. Yeah they can blow a tune betta than me. But after mediocre hit albums bought by deaf fans they know there time is limited like a b-baller with three fingers. and as far as rappers leaving early…that why rap with never get the respect it should. Singers sing till they cant sing no more. Rockers rock till they are dead, but rappers they wanna jump ship after three disks. Luther was in his 50′s when he passed, still singing. We should hope the elders in rap stay around to balance out the idiots in the game today. Cuz its bad now, just imagine whats coming after these fools, HOT DAMN!

    When do athletes retire? When they can’t play the game like they use to most likely because they’re too old…Well I feel like artists retire when they honestly can’t do what they do well anymore or they just get too old. The Dream’s albums haven’t been selling like hot-cakes, so he minus well stop while he’s not ahead.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cinabunnz/ cinabunnz

    good look to dream in whatever he do he wont be broke he already had money from songwriting before he became a artist.i personally never bought his cd and i guess neither did many others. so atleast he stopping while he’s ahead instead of keep making wack ass cd

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wundawuman/ wundawuman

    Well I guess when dead people sell more albums than you its time to call it quits! LOL

    Dude just wanting 2 draw attention 2 himself. His stage presence sucks…he’s no where as talented as Ne-Yo is. He’s an ok song-writer n that’s what he should just focus on n his record label as well…T-Pain has way more of a presence on stage than Than The Dream.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mrvintage30535/ mrvintage30535

    how do u get to old to play music. That has been the dumbest movement in black music to say someone is to old to do muisc, you dont see white folk talking about the rolling stones, or hell tony bennet are to old to do music only this young generation of kids, like someone owes you something and the older artist need to step aside and let them shine…Get the f**k outta here with that ignorance

    Retire? You just started cuz. Jordan came back out of retirement, and so will you. I can see if you were my mom’s age, but you’re only a year older than my younger brother. I guess he wants to go out while he’s on top, but cats are coming after him for hits. He shouldn’t, and that’s my opinion.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kountry_Mayne/ Kountry_Mayne

    good he needs to retire. his first album was good because it was something new with a new style and twist to it… but when he made another album it sounded the same as the first like he just threw some garbage on it. another 1 hit wonder.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/John8verse7/ John8verse7

    I guess he had a 3 album deal and is sick of being infront of the camera instead of behind the scenes like he was.

    WTF???!!! This ain’t the NBA or the NFL, U can’t retire from this sh*t….. anyways, i never been a fan of The Dream…. The only song i liked was that “I Love Your Girl” joint, but every song after that went downhill…. he doing the right thing because music is originally only for those who knows how to make music….. now if Lil Wayne and Birdman can hang it up too, that would make my day…. i know alot of yall like Weezy, but u can’t be toungue-kissing Birdman on camera in front of your boys and still call that “Gangsta”,…. anyways, The Dream was just a Dream and nothing else………
