Rapper DMX recently revealed that his next album would be his last and final due to what he deems a fake recording industry plagued with payola.

"The soundtrack ["Cradle To The Grave"] is the next joint that's coming out," DMX told AllHipHop.com. "I'm on there, it's some hot joints on there. It's more people but, I can't remember. My next album is not a game and that's also my last album."

While DMX said that he was retiring from rapping, he would continue in the music business as the head of his Bloodline Records imprint.

"A person can walk up to you and feel like they know you," DMX continued. "You pretty much bared your soul to them and for somebody to call it a game it's like you taking away from what it really is."

DMX said that he is finishing his next album and is writing almost four to five songs per day.

"Cradle To The Grave" hits theaters February 28


So what ya thing? U thing Dmx should retire? Holla back!

dmx should stay in the game

he should be like slim and be a producer and just keep bringing real niggas out and hop on some of their tracks so we can always get some new d joints

What do you think of DMX as an actor? So many rappers are crossing over to the movie biz now. I can't wait to see Cradle 2 the Grave. One more week!

Holla, I just saw the previews of that 5 minutes ago and that movie look hot. Especially them sexy chicks in it.:)

yeah it looks pretty dope:)

it got to #1 in the box office.
i think he should continue aswell.

DMX should continue. Unlike Ja Fool.

DMX is one of tha realest MC's around and shouldnt retire...
