Friday night, Mac Lethal texted me and said "Joe Good quit." I replied, "Quit what?" Mac said: "Everything."
I didn't believe Mac at first, thinking he was pulling a prank or maybe kicking off some kind of publicity stunt for his and Joe's label, Black Clover. However, in the ensuing text conversation, Mac sounded sincere, saying "I wouldn't tell you if it was a phase he was going through. It's over."
The next day, after noticing that he had completely disappeared from MySpace, I reached Joe Good on the phone. Sure enough, one of KC hip-hop's best and brightest sons is quitting (or hopefully just taking a break from) the game to focus on other priorities. "I'm not interested in making a career out of it," Joe explained. In measured tones, he indicated that he wasn't enjoying working as a hip-hop artist right now and needed a break to reassess what he enjoyed about making music -- that is (I would add), if he decides to return to music at all.
As Pitch writer Nadia said when I told her the news, "I hope he 'quits' like Jay-Z."

i support J. Good's decision. leave this shit alone and keep your sanity bro. i'm glad you left us with some jewels though, we'll be waitin on more!!!
Ya'll gotta respect my dude's decision, I Mean we started in this together, we really didn't know much about the game we did it for fun. And now we know the truth!!! It's hard out there. So some time away will be good for him!! He'll be back!
For the time Joe Good put into dedicating his music to everybody was well worth every minute.
I'm still gonna play the cd around town and in my car. DJ Shobee
The Dude has done alot for Kansas City. Not only in Hip Hop. Almost like a father figure, alot of up and coming artists look up to what he does. I'm sure he will do what is best for Joe Good. Lotta respect Joe, Lotta Respect.
