Lil Wayne revealed the cover art for Tha Carter V today (August 14).
The cover was unveiled on ESPN’s Sports Center and it features the rapper’s mother.
“It’s perfect,” Wayne said. “I always go with a baby picture. I wanted to go with one with my mama this time…To have my mom on there is more than an accomplishment. It’s an achievement.”
He said he did not let his mom know he’d be using the photograph and that she doesn’t really like it.
During the ESPN interview, Wayne also revealed that the album is slated to be released October 28, 2014.
In May, Wayne said the following about the project:
“My thoughts are wiser,” he said. “I still say what I want to say—it just sounds better and makes more sense. That all comes with growth and maturity.”
(August 14, 2014)
UPDATE: Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V will be released October 28, according to a tweet from Young Money’s verified Twitter account.
“Eight days. @LilTunechi#CV#CarterV#YoungMoney. The legend continues,” Young Money tweeted yesterday (October 20).
The Young Money tweet is as follows:

UPDATE #2: Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V will not be released tomorrow (October 28), according to karencivil.com.
No new release date was announced.

“He said he did not let his mom know he’s be using this photograph and that she doesn’t really like it. ” nobody proof reads anymore?
That’s a real hood photoshop job.
so artistic and creative
Wack ass cover biting off Illmatic and making it even worse, nigga just using his old photos, lazy ass nigga
dont forget the grade A photoshop job with those tattoos, or did Weezy come out of the womb with those trashy ass face tats?
Shit!!! That’s his mom I thought that was Birdman
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
He is such a cutie pie, I’d gobble him up quick!
you gay
This is a great look for the black community
word is bond
Such horrible cover art, but Waynes covers are usually trash. I don’t even get it? Is that an old picture of Wayne and his momma with tattoos photoshopped on his face? Seems a lil retarded to me.
ALL THAT MONEY AND YMCMB CAN’T HIRE A DECENT FUCKING DESIGNER? EVEN THOSE FONTS LOOK AMATEUR.
ugly ass cover
why he has tattoos?
yo id fuck the shit out of lil wayne… he thick
IS MMG COMING OUT WITH A SELFMADE VOL.4 THIS SUMMER???
naw meeks locked upp
I SAID MMG BITCH FUKK MEEK MILLZ
self made projects never make any money with all the promo they do and weak sales so they scrapped that idea.
LOL Dis album is not coming out in oct…more like summer 2015…his single krazy will eventually end up on a mixtape or even an IANAHB pt.3 album that he is secretly working on.
Every wayne album he ever put out(besides tha block is hot) was pushed back multiple times..
i think dis album is gonna flop(in Carter standards) selling around 433,000 first week..
and fucc IsHulle!!!…i seen u on ya own block and u aint do shit fucc boi..running back on the porch and shit niggaz fufu…thts y ima fucc ya mom next time i come threw bitch keep talkin u goin see..
I’ll bet you it doesn’t come close to 400k first week. He’ll probably do more like 150k if I had to put bread oon it.
worst photoshop ive seen in a minute, the outline of waynes mom looks extra bad, did dwayne let reginae carter design this?
what it do ma hitta u the bomb man but its about time you let ace hood rule the game ayt
Very unimpressed. Goes to show even more that Tez Bryant is no kind of manager, along with single choice, useless pushbacks, and the direction he let wayne go after c3, I’m convinced even if Wayne came with the worst idea ever, he’s got (and had) too many yes men around him and that’s why the music and creativity has suffered.
Guarantee it gets pushed back again, Krazy is not a hit.
No but believe me is and I’m sure he has at least two or three more on there
i actually kinda like it. i don’t love it, i think they coulda meshed the look together better.
totally agree ; tf is this lol
I agree with everybody as far as the criticism towards Wayne’s single “Krazy”. No quotables, sounds uninspired, weak pre-school lyrics & the production butt. You wouldn’t expect this typical Wayne because his last assist single with Drake “Believe Me” was pretty good. The single “Krazy” goes back to my opinion that I believe that Drake wrote Wayne’s verse for “Believe Me” I couldn’t give y’all an example cuz “Krazy” was that bad. Listen to both & you’ll see how hungry Wayne is, the lyrics, Wayne sounded like a goon ready to do something to compose to his weak delivery in “Krazy”
It’ll get postponed if the buzz is not there. Maybe another publicity stunt too.
That said, this is Wayne’s last chance. If album is anything like his last 4 albums, he’s officially DONE.
Really!? Didn’t have a better picture of you two?
probably not, i mean wasnt his mom a crack whore? his daddy probably sold the camera
Start working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.
This is what I do.

covers dope. looks like a lil baby demon.
that cover looks like it was made by a middle schooler who just downloaded photoshop
Those tats just make you think the kid is Wayne. He was born exactly as he appears today. Dreds, ugly mug and all.
must have been one terrible mom to let him become such a piece of shit and get raped and pimped by a child predator
Watch all these b utthurt haters come when it does at least 750k opening week. Wayne’s got this game by the clit. Hes ruining hiphop charts with his singles.
P.S. Reports show nicki having more hot 100 hits than michael jackson.
his last album did 217k and still isnt platinum. come back down to earth
OP, you’re wrong about everything again.
His last album went double platinum dumbass, check the RIAA and quit arguing like a bitch.
No, it didn’t. It went gold.
Which ass clown told you it went gold, it is officially certified double platinum, check the RIAA stupid shitheads.
I already checked RIAA and they said Wayne’s last album only went gold.
Wayne’s real carter will get more acclaim and Bigger sales than old ass Shawn carter.
NOT!!
Sorry wayne doesn’t sell like em and jay. Will never be one of the greats. Great rapper but its all about songs. That’s why drake is on top. You can have the best lyrics in the world but its all about songs. Kendrick too. We need more music
wayne is garbage. he could use gillie to ghostwrite for him again. i guess he will get more songs from drake again. he is completely done.
Very dissapointed…. 5 year old weezy couldve made a better fuckin cover.
definitely not what I expected when I read it would be a picture of them two.. LMAOOOOOO son looks like a crack baby like his mothers tryna pawn him or some shit.. real shit this shit looks stupid and garbage as fck cmon son this is how u goin out… that aint a classic cover b u gotta dig this
free gucci fuck this fake nigga.r es music fo Gucci makd ggada hood real sktreet ni
Hit me up next time if you want cover art wayne, this looks like shit.
Dusse was good tho and sidebitch sounds dope
where the promo at? his first 2 singles are KRAZY and BELIEVE ME?
anyway this album will proly sell like 600-700 first week..
200-300k more realistic
BOUT TIME A RAPPER GOES PLATNUM IN 2014
no one has gone platinum in 2014 in any genre… i dont think lil wayne of all people is about to break that chain
won’t even sell 100k first week
if Rick Ross can sell 170k first week Wayne should be able to do 250
Where’s the tracklist though? It’s only a week away.
Wayne sold almost a million last time around with tha carter 4 so he should be able to do at least 500k.
Wayne fell off hard since C4. He won’t be able to do 500K 1st week.
His mom looked like a prostitute in those cheap Ross shorts.
600-700 first week is realistic considering his last CARTER album sold over 960-000 frst week…this is tha carter yall
350-450k
only semi popping single he has is believe me
His other singles are big hits on hiphop as well. I see clubs playing them.
His other singles flop. No clubs play them, you didn’t see anything.
BOUT TIME A RAPPER GOES PLATNUM IN 2014
i bet weezy Fucking baby b da 1st one to do it!!
c5
Wayne’s the only real Carter in the game folks. This will easily go gold first week. It should have no problem reaching platinum.
I don’t know why many of you complain about wayne. He brought back hiphop at a time where shit like feminem’s tracks were diluting hiphop into pop.
Jay Z is also a Carter. This shit ain’t going gold 1st week and won’t sell platinum.
Also, you got that last shit backwards since it’s Wayne who diluted hip-hop into pop while Eminem kept hip-hop going.
100,000 first week?? lol what u smoking on..
Carter albums for lil wayne on the average sells over 500,000 alone
4 da rest of u haters out thrrr suck a lil dick 4 me wit red lipstic and a 4 loco u stupid sum bitches…fuck all u pussy boyz out thrr u keep hatin on me at bar when i cum threw wit da expendtion on spinners poppin bottles wit the roof missing u kno how i get dwn broskie…i keep dat pistol mane..
Carter 1- 138,000
Carter 2- 200,000
Carter 3- 1,000,000
Carter 4- 960,000
Carter 5- 530,000 (my guess)
no way hes doing over 400
Lil Wayne sucks and is the worst rapper alive, but I hope this sells a million again. He needs to sell more than Eminem and all those white faggots.
his last shit aint go plat so outselling em is not likely to happen in this lifetime unless he died
Tha Carter 4 is his last real studio album. I am not a human being 2 was more of a side album where it consists of outakes from the sessions. They are more for fans while tha carter appeals more to the mainstream without selling out in the process. Tha Carter 5 should at least go gold 1st week and be platinum at the end.
INAHB2 is Wayne’s last studio album, it wasn’t a side album. There is no difference between INAHB and the Carters, they’re all the same mainstream-appealing shit (which he already sold out). Also, C5 won’t go gold 1st week and won’t sell platinum at all.
INAHB2 is an album that consisted of outakes from tha carter 4. It’s more for the fans. Tha Carter 5 is more mainstream but still should be dope based on what I hear so far.
Billboard is reporting at least 500k sold.
No, it isn’t. it’s an official Wayne album. All of his albums are for the mainstream and C5 gonna suck. Billboard did not report that he would do 500K.
Note that I am not a human being 1 actually sold a little less than 100k due to weak promotion yet had terrific legs. After that, Tha Carter 4 came out and went almost platinum 1st week.
Less than 100k opening week i mean.
All I see are lame excuses. It doesn’t change the fact that Wayne fell off.
Flop in the making. The Fall of Lil Wayne
Even his side albums go gold so never underestimate wayne.
whats the last Lil Wayne BANGA tho??? Yeah…I cant tell u either
Jay Z is also a Carter. This shit ain’t going gold 1st week and won’t sell platinum.
Jay Z stole the carter name from wayne. That doesn’t count. He’s actually Shawn Williams. Also, Billboard is reporting 500k.
Also, you got that last shit backwards since it’s Wayne who diluted hip-hop into pop while Eminem kept hip-hop going.
I got it right. How is wayne diluting hiphop into pop?
his last two bangers are Believe me and Dusse.
“Jay Z stole the carter name from wayne. That doesn’t count. He’s actually Shawn Williams. Also, Billboard is reporting 500k.”
You are just making up bullshit because Carter has always been Jay Z’s last name since birth (before Wayne was born). Billboard isn’t reporting 500K.
“I got it right. How is wayne diluting hiphop into pop?”
No, you got it wrong. Wayne diluted hip-hop into pop by making shitty pop songs.
Anyway, Wayne’s last mainstream album outsold Jay’s last album by 2-1. And wayne didn’t have to make pop shit like Holy Grail.
Wayne’s last mainstream album got outsold by Jay 2-1. Wayne always made pop shit like Lollipop, How To Love, No Worries, etc. (BTW, Holy Grail isn’t pop).
His other singles flop. No clubs play them, you didn’t see anything.
You don’t go out into clubs much don’t you. They play them.
You’re not even old enough to be in a club. They don’t play those songs.
I live life, seduce women, and have fun in the clubs.
You wished you could do that.
Im living life in the clubs as I type this.
No, you’re at home jacking off to Wayne songs as you type this. Nobody goes to the club in the morning.
It’s night at France. Being paid to introduce dj’s.
Now you’re just pulling out lies out the ass. You can’t even afford plane tickets, you’re still in your mom’s basement.
We actually moved to France when I was young.
Any more lies you wanna tell? No one believes you.
No counter arguement? You lost. Do you actually follow me around my whole life. No? Then shut up.
That was my counter-argument. You already lost just by posting bullshit here.
Kanye: “I told Wayne to his face, he’s the dopest MC out”
Eminem: “Wayne, to me, is defiinitely one of the greatest in the game”
Jay-Z: “Wayne is one of the most talented rappers out there”
2pac – ” Wayne is talented”
dmx – “i like Wayne”
So should I listen to Kanye, Eminem, Jay-Z, 2pac and Dmx or should I listen to some broke losers on the Internet?
I like how all of the people who hate Lil wayne come to and search for his videos to talk shit about them. Lil Wayne may not act like it but he is capable of making good music
LONG LIVE WEEZY!
A recycled troll comment.
Doesn’t change the muthafucking fact that its true.
It ain’t true, though.
2pac and DMX never said that ish
They came to us at ymcmb and they expressed admiration of wayne. This was back when wayne was getting started in 1996.
That is a lie. They (Pac especially) never came to YMCMB (which you’re not a part of). They never met them and they never even heard of them.
Pac died before anyone outside of New Orleans has even heard of Wayne or Cash Money (YMCMB never existed then).
Cash Money was in its local roots that got publicized one day. 2 Pac heard it and flew out to meet with them and discussed potential collaborations. He got shot shortly afterwards but YMCMB was already beginning to make a big name. I was an assistant accountant back then.
It got publicized after Pac died. He never heard of Cash Money, he never went to meet them, therefore he wasn’t talking collaborations, and you were never part of Cash Money, you weren’t even born then.
Wayne’s last mainstream album got outsold by Jay 2-1. Wayne always made pop shit like Lollipop, How To Love, No Worries, etc. (BTW, Holy Grail isn’t pop).
Tha Carter 4: Over 2 million
MCHG: Barely over a million.
INAHB2: Barely 600k
MCHG: Over a million
INAHB2 was more for the diehard fans though while MCHG is another sellout pop album with Timberlake.
Wrong. INAHB2 is just another Wayne album while MCHG isn’t a sellout pop album.
Holy Grail is definitely pop. Would have bombed too if they hadn’t paid stations to keep the song on the air.
Holy Grail is not pop. They didn’t pay any stations to play that song, the people wanted to keep hearing the song.
How is it not pop? JT is definitely pop. No one other than the loud minority wanted to hear the song yet the stations keep getting paid.
Because it’s a hip-hop song. Just because a pop artist is featured on it doesn’t make it pop. Tons of people obviously wanted to hear the song if it got as successful as it did and the stations didn’t get paid.
Then the people must be complete idiots like you. That song sucked and I only heard it on pop stations. Hardly got played by itself ion hiphop stations unless some dj mixes it with a wayne or ross song.
No, they just like the song, which doesn’t suck. It got constant plays in hip-hop stations (no bullshit DJ mixes that you made up). You don’t listen to radio that much unless it’s your favorites.
I had a bunch of favorite stations (both pop and hiphop) and pop stations keep playing that POS song but the hiphop stations prefer drake, ross, wayne, nicki, and more. The hiphop stations did use to play jay z a lot but stayed away around 2008 as Jay Z aimed for pop. They only played his songs when its part of a dj’s mix.
You can lie all you want. it won;t make what you say true. You don’t to radio much, hip-hop stations kept playing that song (which wasn’t a POS), and hip-hop stations always played Jay Z songs, old and current. Jay never aimed for pop and that last sentence is a lie you made up along with everything else you posted.
Lil Wayne is ALWAYS winning! Weezy is THE most successful rap artist to ever exist in music.
LONG LIVE WEEZY!
Wrong rapper.
Dude tryin that Kanye no-marketing bullshit. No singles and no buzz. Dude will have to marry Jennifer Aniston to pull this one off 🙂
You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. What some of you may not know is Michael Jackson was planning on signing to YMCMB at the time of his death. He had even changed his stage name to Mic Jackin. He was planning on releasing 2 Major albums of hard hitting Trap shit, one a collaborative album with Lil Wayne titled Trap Kids. Since Michael’s demise Cash Money records have actually teamed up with NASA and are creating a Global headquarters in Space and on the Moon. The reason for this is to create a new genre of hiphop called “Zero Gravity Rap”. Lil Wayne was hospitalized because during his first zero gravity rap training session he rapped so hard he created a Blackhole that nearly engulfed him. The universe was not ready for his talent so it tried to take him, luckily all it got was his chain and a couple of Big Mac vouchers. All you haters are gonna be sorry soon YMCMB will be so big it will have its own gravitational pull meaning you will be drawn into it no matter what you do.
you stans are delusional if you think hes gonna sell anywhere close to what his last ones did…
he has literally 1 week to promote this and doesnt even have a single that poppin
We are in the age where you can drop off the album in surprise and still do very well. That’s why Beyonce succeeded even though her album sucked.
Beyonce is the only one to release a surprise album (which didn’t suck) and be successful. Anyone else that tried to do it flopped.
Wayne will still succeed with tha carter 5. It probably won’t sell as much as tha carter 4 but should at least go platinum.
No, he won’t succeed and he won’t go platinum. Wayne is done.
Wayne isn’t done.
Yes, he is. He’s been trash since C3.
So wayne changed since tha carter 3, its still wayne. Why do you hate the new wayne?
No, he didn’t just change, he got worse.
How though? You need to explain your opinion better.
He got worse as a rapper, his lyrics got worse, and his overall songs got worse.
Then compare what you thought was a good wayne song to one of his songs you hate.
It got publicized after Pac died. He never heard of Cash Money, he never went to meet them, therefore he wasn’t talking collaborations, and you were never part of Cash Money, you weren’t even born then.
Cash Money started in 1991 and was already getting noticed by a few publications in 1995. 2pac met YMCMB and even met a young ross and discussed working with them. Today, they pay tribute to his songs like 2pac back and I feel like Pac
Yet no one cared about them then. Pac never met Cash Money and Rick Ross (who was working as a CO in Miami at the time) and he never talked about working with them. Today, they’re disrespecting Pac, not paying tribute to him, by making trash songs that disrespect his name.
Not as much as they do today but they were already taking notice. Pac came in and discussed working with wayne. It’s not mainstream news but I recorded what 2 pac said. They aren’t dissing pac today.
But not that much. Pac never heard of/met Cash Money and Wayne, so it’s impossible for him to have talk to and work with them. You’re making up lies. They are disrespecting him today.
Just because they don’t publish it in the media doesn’t mean its not true. I was there at ymcmb.
It never happened. You were never there at YMCMB, you’re just a groupie on the net.
Alright, now you’re just hating.
How am I hating when I just stated facts?
Those aren’t facts, that’s just your heavily biased opinion. Which you’re in the minority of. A loud minority but a minority nonetheless.
No, heavily biased opinion is what all of your posts are. Mines are just cold, hard facts, which I’m in the majority of.
Cold hard facts? What facts? That you saying that wayne sucks? That’s opinion. Wayne selling almost a million OW with Tha Carter 4 is a fact.
Everything I posted is a fact unlike you who only posts opinion and bullshit.
Hater.
Dickrider.
That’s what you are for jay z.
No, that’s what you are for Ll Wayne and everyone associated with him.
You can lie all you want. it won;t make what you say true. You don’t to radio much, hip-hop stations kept playing that song (which wasn’t a POS), and hip-hop stations always played Jay Z songs, old and current. Jay never aimed for pop and that last sentence is a lie you made up along with everything else you posted.
Why do you like Holy Grail? Just curious.
I always go wit a baby picture for my album cover …………….apart from your first 4 solo albums the hot boys albums the wayne n birdman album nd that rock? piece of shit
I hope he uses the picture in the Tweet and not the picture with his mother.
and that matters how????????????????????????????????????
fuckwit
Not expecting very much at all but will cop anyways on the off chance that it bangs. I just feel it’s very unlikely.
reach half a million music listeners www . elitestarpromotions . com
Let’s get this to at least 500k first week folks.
^ a loser’s lifelong attempt at an accomplishment
Wayne usually comes through with a solid piece of work on each Carter album, 4 being the worst but still had some good songs on it. He is working harder this time I think he has a chance to save what was a pretty weak year overall for rap, someone needs to make up for wiz’s fucking mess he made this year
new date??? its the same date retards
Just stuck a photo over The Weeknd single cover
Ain’t gonna sell much. This is Wayne’s last stretch…
It’s a sequel to tha carter 3 and 4 which sold millions each. It will sell at least another million.
Lol NO ONE sells anymore, it’s the industry and lack of people actually buying, instead they download, they should honestly have a method of tracking downloads, it would be like the new record sales, I bet there aren’t millions downloading Rick Ross’s trash but there will be millions downloading Wayne’s
He fell off since C4. He ain’t got it in him to sell a million.
I’m not a big Weezy fan, but dude does have some talent. It’s funny how so many people on this post are dissing him, but look at the amount of posts! This guy gets maaaaad shine everyday. Hip hop fans are the worst kinda fans on the planet.
Yes because it’s “cool” to hate on Wayne these days, but for some fucking unknown reason artists like Rick officer c.o Ross, young thug, French Montana slip under the radar and get like 60 million views on YouTube and get shoved in our face at BET/MTV awards, but Wayne who is actually talented and came from the fucking gutter gets shitted on by retards, I think most real hip hop heads at least have a respect for Wayne and what he has done,
Here we have two retarded Wayne stans saying nothing logical or truthful.
Do you get a kick of mocking others?
*Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
Wayne is talented, but he just got LAZY after Carter 3 and decided that he didn’t have to try anymore. He definitely made a lot of money but lost a lot of fans in the hip hop community.
I doubt he could make another Carter I or Carter II.
Wayne never has and probably never will be “lazy” you can ask anyone from juvenile, mannie fresh, to drake or eminem for that matter, Wayne has always been known for his work ethic, being in the studio for countless hours, and also refusing to write and take days to write songs, he has a unique approach of walking in the booth and rapping his verse, may take a few takes to get it right once he has it all out but he is one of the few to do that. I was impressed with some of his work since carter 3 , IANAHB 2 was probably his wackiest album I’ll agree I didn’t like it much, but he is not lazy, just experimenting, Yeezus was awful but you will always get that stuff from great actual ARTISTS
Dude is lazy, end of story. If he wasn’t, then his music and rapping wouldn’t suck. And there was nothing experimental about INAHB2.
Let me add to my man’s comment up there. IANAHB2 was experimental in the fact they used a concept story about the everlasting benefits of fame and love.
There was no concept stories. It’s a collection of shitty songs just like every other Wayne album.
Do you always hate wayne?
Do you always dickride Wayne?
His first albums were not even that great but he got better. Now tell me for real now, do you always hate wayne?
No, he got worse.
Ok tell me which wayne albums you do like. I heard a lot liking tha carter 2.
For me, Wayne’s peak was 04-06. I agree then about his dedication (Hence the mixtapes and albums)and hard work. He was putting it in back then.
Now, you can tell that he’s just freestyling everything and not putting any thought into his music anymore. Even his ear for beats is not what it once was. His shit is just really generic now and has been since he dropped Rebirth. He declined accordingly.
Give me any Lil Wayne stuff from 04 through 08. Albums and mixtapes. Anything post-Carter 3, I can do without.
I think everyone is forgetting that I am not a human being 1 and rebirth (after tha carter 3) also only went gold. That didn’t stop tha carter 4 from selling almost a million opening week. IANAHB2 didn’t do as well but Tha Carter 5 should go platinum (though they need to release a tracklist soon.)
Rebirth is dope and is underrated even by the more reputable critics (the ones that aren’t trolls on comments). Wayne made a great debut as a rockstar.
Wayne has fallen off since C3. C5 won’t go platinum. Also, Rebirth sucked ass and it deserved every negative review it got. Wayne failed at rock music.
Maybe in your eyes but aren’t you forgetting that Rebirth also failed to go platinum yet tha carter 4, which came out after, almost went platinum in one week. Rebirth is underrated like I said and if he had done more rock, he would have been better and better. C5 will go platinum.
No, in a lot of people’s eyes. C4 didn’t even sell as much as C3, hence Wayne falling off. C5 won’t go platinum. Rebirth is not underrated, it’s just trash. If Wayne had done more rock, he would’ve got worse.
So his public and critical perception declined. I still think he’s great. C4 at least sold better than rebirth and I am not a human being 1. Tha Carter 5 won’t match his last 2 but will still go platinum.
Keyword you. C4 still didn’t match C3’s sales and C5 won’t go platinum.
For the last fucking time, C5 will go platinum. Not in one week like his last 2 but will go platinum. Not 2x platinum but platinum.
You are delusional because C5 won’t go platinum.
Neither will shady xv. Tha Carter 5 will at the very very least go gold.
Shady XV is a compilation album that’ll be gold at the least while C5 is a solo album. You’re basically admitting C5 won’t go platinum.
I still doubt this will actually come out next week. There hasn’t been any promo not even a tracklist. Taylor swift also hasn’t release a tracklist for 1989 but at least she’s releasing songs from it.
Zero albums have went platinum this year. In any genre! Wayne aint about to change that.
Hip-hop doesn’t go platinum anymore man. Taylor Swift or Adele or some Glee soundtrack or some shit might though
Taylor swift dropping same week as Weezy is projected to sell 800k – 1 million first week, Weezy doing half that.
Look wayne said it himself this is the hardest album he has ever worked on and that this one is for his true fans. The dude has had his share of selling mad copies the first week he does not care about that for this one. I guarantee that this album will turn some heads and he will get back his fanbase he had back in tha carter 3 days.
Unlikely.
So many people that think Carter 3 was his best. I ain’t hating it just surprises me. I always thought Tha Carter 2 was his best. Maybe it’s just an age thing
Na… Wayne lost me after Carter 3.. When he started auto tuning and making crap
Besides, all the fans that he had back in the day have grown up and dont root for him like that anymore
Wayne should just have some dignity and bow out with grace, he hasnt made a good record in at least 6 years
All I know is he bet not win this Grammy over Logic. I’m quite serious with that statement too.
Logic sucks at rap.
No, he doesn’t.
Wayne fell way off after the Carter 3. He hustled forever to get to that stage, and as soon as he hit the mainstream and made money from Lollipop, he then insulted the fans for years with all the auto tune singing and HORRENDOUS verses about p*ssy eating and trukfit lol
Wayne tarnished his own legacy and career. Nobody else. He released garbage and thats why he lost large chunks of his fan base
I hope he drops the V and moves on, he is embarrassing himself at this point. He hasnt had a decent record in 6 years
Your delusional, but seeing your name is “black album” I am guessing you also think Jay z is goat, typically overrated
Or maybe he’s a Prince fan or a Metallica fan. Jay isn’t the only one that put out a “Black Album”.
You think Metllica fans would really comment on here? No, they don’t usually give a shit about hiphop. And there aren’t many prince fans left. He’s clearly referring to jay z as wayne and jay z both share carter.
i like metallica and jay-z
WHO CARES
Early projections are in, They got Weezy at 400-600k, Taylor Swift who is dropping same day is projected for 800k-1M.
For comparison Kendrick is also projected to do 400-600k just like Wayne and Kanye is projected to sell 250-350k.
They also listed his release date as TBA instead of october 28th.
SHIT PUSHED BACK BECAUSE IT AINT BUZZING!
fake
early projections come out 24 hours after the album drops
the album drops next Tuesday…nice try
no real, thats why there are so inaccurate with a range of 200k
they put out projections for k.dot, kanye, lil wayne, ac/dc, foo fighters, taylor swift and another couple artists dropping soon
ROFL so you have early projections on albums not even out yet ?
If you have that talent you should use it on the stock market
A fuckin toddler could’ve made a better cover art. Shits straght garbage
Carter V coming soon this week
awesome
these fucking morons put out the release date only to push it back 1 week later.
Of course it is. Even Stevie Wonder saw that coming. We barely got to see a tracklist. Plus, he didn’t want to face off against Taylor Swift.
This Civil bitch has no connection to YMCMB. This is the same person who said Meek was only gonna be in jail for 3 weeks unlike the months his people were claiming.
good..he’s the most overrated rapper of all time.. i hope it never comes out..
Yeah I saw that coming. There was no buzz whatsoever for it. Not a fan of his current music, but when is the last time Lil Wayne had no buzz?
How do you have a pre release party for an album on Sunday, then push the shit back on Monday? Tez is garbage man and the promotion for this album has been ass. Can’t say i didn’t see it coming though….
Wayne is done.
People waiting for that shit I mean no one
Lol stay trollin wayne
lol of course! every god damn Lil Wayne album has gotten pushed back. whether it’s his good ones(C2) or his shitty frisbee-worthy material(Rebirth, IANAHB series, C4)
it’s like dude jumps in the booth, then decides to smoke weed and sip lean for a month straight before realizing “oh I have an album to drop right”
But he had a release party yesterday. It must be close, right?
While waiting for Tha Carter V, “The Literary Genius of Lil Wayne: the case for Lil Wayne to be counted among Shakespeare and Dylan” krestonkent.com

jay z the greatest……………..
Surprise
What a surprise.
Nobody saw this coming.
It’s not like basically every fucking project he announces doesn’t get pushed back multiple times.
You’d think by now he just wouldn’t give dates until it’s 100% guaranteed. But I’m sure this is just a lame marketing stunt to get him interest and try build some anticipation.
finally thanks
