lol.. man I still laugh when I reflect on Too Short being 29 years old in 1996 and coming out with his swan song "Gettin It" riding off into the sunset of retirement, they feature his retirement on that classic Rhyme and Reason documentary--because back in 1996 we thought 30 was old.

Now look at it... Too Short still fucking rapping with that Mount Rushmore shit, and then wack ass Jay-Z and Master P used it as a marketing tool publicity stunt everyone forgets Jay-Z was calling his 98' album his "last album" and Master P pulled the same stunt that year when he released Da Last Don. 

But I think Too Short was really doing it for real, he just changed his mind

sure it happens then too.   But it's kind of dumb no matter how it's done, in fact it defies logic.  Like hell, does a rapper retire and then they aren't allowed to be recorded while rhyming anymore?   Does a guy retire from basketball and then he doesn't so much as shoot a bucket in his front yard anymore?

Does Jerry Seinfeld retire and then he's not allowed to tell a joke anymore?  Or he can tell one, but he just can't be recorded doing it anymore?  Or he can be recorded, it just can't be distributed or sold in any format?

It's such a dumb topic.  People even get mad about it.  Like I remember with Brett Farve it was like, "He's making a mockery of the game, he should retire" when the Jets failed, but then the next year the Vikes almost made it to the Superbowl.  But every year it was this big argument over whether or not it was proper for him to play or not.

The only context I understand it in is Muhammad Ali had no business taking blows from Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick and that's sad he didn't retire in light of what happened later with his health.
