Jin Says Hip-Hop Career Is Over

Jin brings up being asian all the time in his raps. I see no reason why it shouldn't be included in a conversation about him quiting.
I highly doubt Jin is going to retire anyways. This is something artists to for publicity...they retire when things are going slow, then make a 'comeback' album when they got new shit. Maybe Jin don't know it yet, but he'll be back!

He wasn't a real rapper, because no one quits rapping. Its something you enjoy. The art of spitting lyrics is something...its something you don't let go of. After you do something real good, you're proud of yourself because it takes REAL talent.
I think he's going through a phase or he wasn't a real rapper or he'll still rap, but not commercially.

i think he might have shown up more on the charts if he was on a different label, rough ryders ain't really about jins style, it is more rugged pure rap. i think jin needed more polished producers to kind of fit his faster style, he killed it on freestyle friday and the cd was kinda tite, but i just think if he was on a more universal label that put out a little bit of everything he might have blown, maybe a good rap/r&b mix with a poppy r&b singer would have sold with his fast flow over a party track or somethin
Dude just doesn't wanna work that hard ne more...He probably worked hard but it didn't pay off and now he is sick of getting ignored...
He is simply reppin his ppl...Same thing as other rappers he is no different ....U didnt see a reason why it shouldn't be included well now you do...He is a rapper and you should judge him on his rhyming skills and not on his skin colour...
Here are the lyrics to the "I Quit" song if anyone is interested...
"I Quit..."
Man, I was just tryin to eat is this what happens?
yo I’mma do this in one take cause if I gotta do it again, it just wasn’t meant to be…
yo Golden Child, I owe you big time for this joint yo.
that’ s my word.
people, feel me.
I sit up nights let the beat loop contemplate what to write
Think you got me figured out but you’ll never know what its like
To live my life the attempts to live up to the hype
Of being the nicest Asian to ever lift the mic
If I bite the dust while Im writin this song
Then I might just end up right where I belong
Amongst legends that’s how yall should remember me
Gone but forever existent in a memory
So I never ask for applause
If all goes well I’ll leave this earth due to a natural cause
Picture me with my grandkids 60 yrs old
Watchin BET footage from 40 years ago
Llike “ya grandfather he use to be a beast
When it came time to battle ain’t nobody wanna piece”
The way I tell the story they amazed Im older
Tellin me “grandpa ya glory days is over”
Flashback to the present moment
Where the real battles just gettin started and I’m my own opponent
Ready to call it quits but gettin the busy tone
I might stop by radio and pull a Bizzy Bone
See my whole life changed in the last 4 yrs
A lot of laughter but definitely not without tears
I watched the asian rap community grow
First there was none now theres a few cats that nobody knows
I suppose they label me the one that was choosen
To open doors for those that were normally closed
Who oughta get props I composed a list
In no particular order yo it goes like this
YungMAC the protégé LS is a beast lyrically
Snacky Chan Thai & FAR east
Liv n proof Shogun K Grey I’m with ya
We gotta open our eyes and see the bigger picture
Jargon INVAZN On Fire get props
REIGN ERA Mountain Brothers holla at me Chops!
If I didn’t mention ya name don’t take it as a dis
You got my support if you takin it serious
Sometimes my efforts seem unappreciated
I know I ain’t shit but hey at least I made it this far
For yall that didn’t wish me success
Heres my biggest flaw I still wish yall the best
And thru it all I kept a level head
Listened to GOD and ignored what the devil said
I can’t leave rap alone the game needs me
Hard to let go cause none of this came easy
How many times do I gotta prove myself!?
Do I really gota battle EM and Lose Myself!??
106 The Fight Klub Smack DVD a classic CD
Well at least it was to me what else can you do to me?
I went to war with the radio station on behalf of my community
Bout to retire pull a Hova I quit
No more its over for Jin Im tired that’s it.

He also said that the people at Ruff Ryders Records were getting ghostwriters for him, as you know his song writing ability aint that good compared to his freestyles. So Jin didn't like that, so Ruff Ryders pushed him to the side.
Does this mean Jin will be taken off the next Ruff Ryders Compliation Volume 4 CD due in June?
