According to the NY Daily News, Beyonce may be retiring following the release of her upcoming LP:
The diva is currently working on a new album, but her cousin Angelica Knowles tells our source that it will be her last. Instead, Beyonce plans to spend her days scouting talent for new hubby Jay-Z’s upcoming label, The Carter Music Group.
Beyonce’s first protege is rumored to be an R&B artist named Chelsea Thomas. Her reps couldn’t be reached for comment. [source]
Not to sure about this one. Beyonce is one hardworking lady so I know she will be releasing more than one more album.

MORE INFO ON BILL’S NEW ALBUM

We told you about Bill Cosby’s upcoming hip-hop/jazz album a couple months ago and I just found out some new info on his new release.
The album entitled, “Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency” blends the comedian’s concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack will be released next month.
“I do not rap on any of these things,” Cosby told The Associated Press on Monday. “I wouldn’t know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words.”
Cosby said the hip-hop music he hears is profane and degrading. His album is “the opposite of what I think is the profanity for no particular reason, the misogyny for no particular reason,” he said. “It really looks at the frustration and the anger that a young man may have.”
The subject matter? “The value of an education. The value of respecting one’s self and … giving (listeners) a chance to raise their self-esteem and confidence,” Cosby said. [SOURCE]
The album, assembled by Cosby’s longtime musical collaborator Bill “Spaceman” Patterson, contains rhymes provided by guest rappers.
OMG, Beyonce cant retire… What am I going to do…. Seriously I love her… She’s the greatest…lol… Wait Jay Z retired and came back… Thats probably what she is going to do.
wow, could the queen bee really be callin it quits…i don’t buy it
am i the only one not really checkin for mimi this time
o really bill? i don’t think the hip-hop community is necessarily lacking self-esteem or confidence
damn mariah wat happened to you
>>>I’ll believe it about Beyonce when I see it. If it’s true, good luck with that.
>>>Evidently, Bill Cosby doesn’t listen to ALL hip-hop, because he’s making assumptions that all of it is tasteless. I need him to sit his ass down somewhere, and shut up.
That’s one big ass ugly wig beyonce has on…….why? And i could careless either way if she retires….we can chose to buy the cd’s or not, and with this last one, i chose not…..
Mimi is really promoting her cd. Oprah is a big fan of Mimi’s too; she invites her to every Legends Ball.
A jazz cd for Bill? Okay, that’s a good look i guess..
Yeah right, she’s trying to pull a Jay-Z….You ain’t fooling nobody Bey.
BEYONCE NEEDS TO SETTLE DOWN AND LET JAY Z PLANT HIS SEED.
NO BEY! we need real singing!!! I’m tired of studio singers!!! Altough I love RIHANNA i would hate to HEAR ya go!! LOVE YA BEY!!
Oh mariah…
beyonce: that’s prob gonna happen, the retirement thing that is, but i doubt so soon
Bill. C should be interesting, I remember how ‘Cliff’ used to love his Jazz in the Cosby Show Days.
However, he’s always going off at the mouth about something negative that’s ‘black’ related. Maybe he should listen to some more meaningful forms of hip hop. its not all ‘Rims and Timbs’. True hip hop is still alive through a minority of artists today…
Don’t believe it for a second. Good way to create hype for a new album though.
beyonce will stoping singing afer her run the world tour she said it on a interview with peris morgan
i hope bee doesn’t leave us…
Yeah right Bee is not going anywhere and we all know that. I for one will be pissed if she retires . .. she can take a break to enjoy her marriage and having some kids but not retire . She is and will always be the hottest chick in the game.
She’s not retiring just taking a break. I feel you girl. I feel like you need a vacay. If, you are talented you can always come back in the game i.e. Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey.
LMAO @ BEYONCE STANS
NOW WHAT YOU WORSHIPPERS OF BEYONCE GOING TO DO IF SHE RETIRES?!
HAHAHAHA!!!!
BEYONCE FAN: NO THE END IS NEAR,THE END IS NEAR !
Bill Cosby sucks!
BY THE WAY I DO LIKE HER MUSIC, JUST NOT A FANTIC
Yeah, right. Beyonce will probably retire the way Jay-Z retired.
Go Bill!
Beyonce and those weaves are so past their expiration date..
Mariah is sooo firing one of her back up singers…that no-singing fool threw off mariah completely…Mariah stopped singing and looked back at her like “biatch, do y you know who i am; i’ll be damned if you ’bout to outsing me heffa”
QUEEN BEE go ahead and have some babies for MR CARTER! I LOVE IT… you can always do another album! your HUSBAND and you are rich you can pay for your album have a trainer to get back in shape and you are young NOW IS the time to have a couple of Babies that way when you come back you would have tackled Mother Hood and pleasing yo’ Mann KING J. NO REGRETS!
Beyonce, good luck with your retirement. Enjoy life, be happy, and have lil baby camels running around
Mariah -Scarey- perfect example of studio singer! =)
BGoin’ Bill Cosby, wit’ yo’ semi-senile ass!! Don’t he remind you of that crazy uncle, you scared to have around ppl, ’cause he might say aome off the wall shit?!
Do we really have to wait for the next album for her to retire?
bee: so what? retire then. her music isn’t good enough for her to stick around. i highly doubt this is the end anyway though. she’s gonna pull a jay-z (she’ll retire then come back multiple times). i do feel bad for bee stans though. who will they worship (while she’s taking a break)?
mariah needs to follow in bee’s “retirement” footsteps
it’s true that there is good hip hop but how would someone know that if they just turned on the tv or the radio b/c good hip hop doesn’t get played anymore. i hear soulja boy more than i hear common so even though i disagree with bill on hip hop, i understand that for those who know nothing about it, the persona DOES look bad and that fact that good hip hop is hardly played adds to this problem
LOL @ THAT PICTURE, BEY LOOKIN REAL DRAG QUEEN, IDK WHAT IT IS BUT SOMETHING WITH HER FACE IS LOOKIN REAL SCRONG!!!
I CAN ALREADY SEE THE STANS PETTITIONING THIS SO CALLED RETIREMENT…
DO WHAT YOU DO BILL!
Bill Cosby need to get Soulja Boy and 50 on his Album.
In the words of the Right Reverend Rollo Goodlove:
Nigga’s is gonna be Nigga’s! So you might as well get that money…why you playin?
Well everything that has a beginning must have an end. Bee go ahead and settle Have a family!!!
I love Mariah new song!!
Retire and leave us with who? Ri-hell-naw, Assie, Ci-air-ugh, dont do it you fool. Lol jkjkjk. I dont believe this shit for a second although she said she would like to earn enough money to never have to work after 30 so it might be true.
Yes!!! Beyonce is retiring! I am soooooo…happy. Maybe now someone will have a chance to put out some quality music and not make it all about sex! Now I loved, loved the first CD she put out because it was about LOVE, but the ghetto hip hop mess she did on the last one…not feeling it. To me she is just making the world a more f*** up place! Now maybe after she settles down and has kids, she’ll understand how hurtful that booty music is to our children and put out another quality CD like her first one! Until then…the best thing she can do for us is retire…..GO..GO..GO.. Thank you is all I can say.
@ 27 With all the effed up music out in the world do you really think Beyonce’s PG-13 music is really doin that much damage. I heard a little girl on the radio today talking about ho she is proud to be called a bust-it-baby (whatever the fuck that is). Beyonce is the least of our worries in that department.
thank GOODNESS beyonce is leaving.
lol @ 21 i agree
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN’T
DOOOOOOOOOOOO
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope she dont retire because She is the best performer we have. All these other R&B bitches are WACK, I wouldnt pay money for their concert DVD’s, let alone pay to see them LIVE. I dont give a damn who it is, whether its Keyshia, Ciara, Jennifer Hudson, Ashanti even Janet, Mary and Mariah let me down with their latest albums. Beyonce, X-Tina & Alicia are the future of this game. I hope she waits until she’s in her 30′s! And this aint no STAN shit this is just me being dead honest.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THE QUEEN BEE SAY IT AINT SO THERES NO POINT FOR FEMALE R&B ARTIST NOW CANT NOBODY PERFORM THE WAY BEYONCE CAN BITCH ALWAYS ON POINT AND I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAY BEYONCE ASS CAN BLOW! YOU GUYS SEE HER BOOTY SHAKING AND TEND TO FORGOT DAT BITCH GOTTA HELL OF A VOICE ON HER SHES THE QUEEN SAY YOUR JUST TAKING A BREAK BAD ENOUGH YOU MARRIED TO CAMEL
GODDESS BEYONCE, please don’t take away your glory and power and beauty away from me. You are the only reason I get up in the morning and face these Beyonce haters. Goddess Beyonce please destroy all those who dare question your orginality. May you and God Jay-Z continue reign over the music industry with your melodious voice. Please do not leave me i can not function without you. I pray you send the Rihanna tramp to purgatory. You are our only salvation. Without you life wouldn’t matter………..through your beauty,power, and grace, and your ability to shake that big ass…… i pray …….Amen-
Alright Tina, quit pretending to be your….wait a minute….holy hot grits….IS THAT BEYONCE??? No way! Wait a minute…
*rubs eyes, add drops, blinks*
ooooh wee…that IS her! Why does she look like a mannequin?
Mariah looks like if she doesn’t eat she;ll have another meltdown.
Bill can’t fix his lips to spit a verse, but he can pinch his lips to say jell-o pudding pops, lol. Oh well…bring on the remixes!
Is Mariah serious? She needs some cough drops and a cup of oolong tea cause her voice is sounding scratchy as hell
Mariah’s falsetto is horrific at best, but towards the end of the song she sounded a lot better.
I love Bill Cosby.. I AGREE with just about everything he has said…
The people that dont agree with him. (Dr. Cosby).. … All I have to say is.. The truth hurts!
what are the beyonce stans gonna do when she retires???
dont you mean what are the haters gonna do???
they aint gonna be no point of having comment sections on music blogs no more if bee retires cuz she the only one that gets comments. Haters aint gonna have no reason to go online no more cuz they aint gonna be no beyonce news. If beyonce retires then music blogs will no longer have purpose. But hey at least if she retires finnaly Amerie might come out the cave shes in and other artists might sell again. BEE THE WORLD WONT BE tHE SAME WITHOUT U. And the haters are gonna see that when your gonee!!!!….
Poor Beyonce fans.
Mariah is done. Sit down!
Sick of Bill trying to be right ALL the time, DAMN!
by the way i dont understandd why ppl dont like beyoncee as a performer….i would like to know who yall favorite performer is??? All these other R&B artists cant perform to save their mommas. Cassie sounds like a rat. Mariah lost her edge. Janet could never sing only dance. Beyonce is the only female out there right now the cud perform great. she cud dance and sing at the same time. and she cud sing alonee. Whoever thinks the her performace of DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE isnt amazing got some problemsss.. Seriously go to get your ears checked. If yall dont think her performaces arent memorable yall need help. whoever thinks that mariah performace above was better then any beyonce performace must be tapped. Mariah sounded like a chimp on meth.
lol @ no. 33. That’s phenomenal…lol. All you beyonce stan, I am sure y’all gonna go pray that pray just so she damn stays. Mariah, I think you need to sit down honey and act you age. Bill you have always been the man and I appreciate you doing this, but dude, you don pass your prime.
P.S. Beyonce does look like a mannequin her pic. How the hell was she ever thought to be finer than Kelly? O yea, her pops was the manager of D.C.
U can say what u want a Bill Cosby…but dude has excellent taste in music…excellent…”The Cosby Show” introduced a lot of people to some great jazz music…myself included!

_______________________________________________________________________
Thats what I’m sayin, Bey is the ONLY R&B chick worth the money and she was getting Rave Reviews for her performances. She cant quit now! That would be DUMB!
________________________________________________________________________
it would be funny if this was happening cuz she is pregnant…yay to motherhood, beyonce… if thats the case…
omg beyonce can’t retire!!!
Oh Mariah!
damn mariah losing her voice…thats soo sad damnn!
Now y’all no dam well daddy knowles ain’t ahving that shyt!! Solange ain’t selling no music so who’s he gonna have in his camp while Mrs Carter says she’s retiring. Kelly has to go way to London to promote her one banging single album!!! tha’t some ol’ Jay Z bull right there. She think she gonna retire and come back hotter than ever. Whateva!!! Yeah, Bey do the right thing, sit your shaking, screaming azz down somewhere. After that top secret 007 phucking wedding she had that the fans aren’t privy to, she can go straight to hell. And yea Bey stans I’m hating!!! What!!!
Retirement at 26…dont believe it. Beyonce will be here for a while.
Cosby, unless its a comedy album…an album is unnecessary from you.
LORD SAY IT AIN’T SO I CAN’T TAKE A RETEMENT FROM B I SO LLOOK FORWARD TO HER SMASHING THE COMPETITION EVERY RELEASE
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I will be so so so so sad if Beyonce retired!!
If she quits, what other female singer is going to shine the way she does?
there is no one who can do that, she’s truly irreplaceable!!!!!!
She better think about it before she throws her career away to become a secretary…
shes not going to retire its going to be more of taking a break and settling down to have mini carters but she will be back i give it 2 yrs. Mariah gotta love her and as for Cosby i appreciate the message you send but an album????
Yeah I can do wihtout Beyonce, I think she’s way too young to retire. I mean look at ppl like Mary J. Blidge or better yet Modanna. I think she needs to tahe an HIATUS n come back in a few years but not a RETIREMENT. PLEASE I DOBT THIS!
Mariyah doesn’t sing a GREAT as she use to.
LOL @ Most of Ya’ll this is the FIRST POSITIVE POST I EVER READ ON HER ABOUT “B” SO FAR. I guess when the #1 MOST HATED ON PERSON IN THE BIZ is alomst gone, ya’ll really realalize how much you’ll miss her LMAO!
Well havent yall heard that its smart to leave the game before the game leaves you? Shes a great entertainer and everything but really shes not deep enough to hang around indefinitely. Even though shes hot, her brand of music cant stick around forever, unless she does a 180 and hits us with somthing you can listen to years from now on her next album…which I doubt will happen. Also, remember the industry is forever changing, and the state of it is really up in the air….shes smart to stay busy now and shes achieved alot, but she knows her time is nearing an end. Shes been working non stop since her early teens..and she has a lot to show for it.
I just hope there is a Renaissance in music that will transform the industry in the next decade. I want music thats inspired…Im praying this will happen
@41 beyonce is over top most of the time i saw this video and i thought it would be funny to post this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xia_gu356Pk
You forget alicia, fantasia, jill scott, erykah, and keyshia all can sing very well live especially alicia and jill
I agree, Mariah’s voice sounded so soft. I thought it was the song though
The source probably isnt Legit because her cousine name is Angela Beyince and not Angelica Knowles! This is probabl;y made up!!!! I love Beyonce and she isnt going anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that will NEVER happen!! im sure beyonce is looking towards beings one of those lifetime achievement recipients one day..get outta here
