Drake mentioned Carter V in a Twitter update made yesterday (February 9).
No official word has been issued regarding what Drake meant by his Twitter update, which simply said “CARTER V.” Some have speculated that this hints at Lil Wayne’s work on Tha Carter V, a continuation of the rapper’s Carter projects.
The most recent installment of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter series, Tha Carter IV, was released in 2011. Tha Carter IV received a 3 out of 5 X rating on HipHopDX.
“Depending on how you want to gauge it, we’re witnessing the fourth incarnation of Lil Wayne,” HipHopDX said at the time. “First there was the borderline kiddie-rapper. Then there was the circa 2005 version, who made many listeners begrudgingly admit that Wayne suddenly started rhyming his ass off. And of course, there was superstar Weezy—endorser of Auto-tune, impregnator of Pop culture vixens and a man prone to the occasional drug-addled haze, a faux Rock album, and still rhyming his ass off if he felt like it. Through each version, even Lil Wayne’s detractors have secretly hoped for that complete, signature album where he reconciled the superior lyrical abilities found on his earlier mixtapes with the chart success he’s found on his last few solo outings. Unfortunately, Tha Carter IV is not that album.”
In June 2013, Lil Wayne spoke about his hopes to retire after Tha Carter V’s release.
“My next album isn’t Tha Carter V because I think I have to work on other albums with my pop Birdman and things like that,” Wayne said at the time. “But, after Tha Carter V, I hope I can retire.”

Then its probably not worthy of an article
wtf they did an full article just becuse drake said carterV
i am starting to hate this website
im positive they’ve made articles out of less
Sadly it will sell better than many superior artists sell, half of the people that buy Drake’s album bought Weezy’s albums at one time.
Drake is definitely better than Wayne, although less people buy albums by better artists than Drake too.
Drake the type of nigga to promote his homie’s album on Twitter while getting a blumpkin from said homie.
He was probably giving a shout out to former baseball star Joe Carter.
What a fucking queerbait
Pussyj juice
Carter 5’s gonna sell at least 2 million and Lil Wayne will run rap again. He’s gonna outsell MMLP2 and haters of wayne are just mad because he loves his father.
How old are you Stan? 12? Get off grown men penis
he won’t outsell MMLP2, sorry. both Lil Wayne and Eminem are past their prime. at one point Wayne did run the rap game. that’s because he was releasing a single or was featured on a single like once or twice a month. he’s fallen off the map now, and he’ll never regain the status that he had a few years ago. if Drake hasn’t surpassed him yet, he will soon.
fuck all ymcmb except drake
weezy igot a load u got a gun call it loaded gun hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

“Sadly it will sell better than many superior artists sell, half of the people that buy Drake’s album bought Weezy’s albums at one time”
Sales only matter to the record company, Wayne doesnt need the money and rappers only make pennies off album sales so just try to focus on the music and not on the sales.
that’s coming from the same person who will quote sales and Forbes figures in a heartbeat.
Let’s see how long he can suppress his fuckboy traits in the comments
Quoteman cant even get an album out, just like fiddy and yayo
Okei! I thought about it a million times, but now im gone delete hiphopdx from my Facebook feed! This shit is just gossip. What happened to hiphop…..
It’s factual news that lets you have your opinion on what you think about it, what else is a hip hop site suppose to give you than hip hop news?
as a close friend of Lil Wayne, I can confirm he is straight, and kissing Birdman is a natural father-son moment. on the other hand Tha Carter V gonna sell 1 million copies at its first week. Lil Wayne was the best selling artist of the decade. swag
what about all those times he stole his 12 year old daughters pants?
Top selling artist of the decade? I assume you’re talking about the 20th century. Eminem was the best selling artist of the decade. Second was Jay Z, third was Little Wayne. I say little because I’m not 12 anymore.
and he is a very small man
jay z and eminem are pop artists while wayne is true hiphop. btw, father son kissing is natural.
Wrong. Eminem and Jay are more true hip-hop than Wayne, who’s pop. Also, father/son kissing is naturally gay.
lol father/son kissing is EXTREMELY gay. especially in Georgia
DRAKE is a bigger HOMO than Michael Sam, and Michael Sam is a BIG homo. That’s straight LOGIC.
Lil wayne aint been tight since the block is hot dayz,(he really wasn’t tight then) carter 3 waz straight and some of those mixtapes he had some joints on there, but overall lil wayne is a clown, his whole label mates are better than him, Nicki,Drake and Tyga are wayyy better, all wayne does is spit silly punchlines, to be a goat, u have to do more than spit punchlines, rap game wack now, nowadays its all about Kendrick,Drake, and Nicki as far as overall new generation superstar status goes.
why is this even considered front page news, hiphopdx? man you guys are starting to get progressively worse day after day with your irrelevant and unimportant articles. can you please hire somebody that didn’t get their fucking journalism degree from the back of a cereal box cutout? jesus christ. its like they can get anyone to be a journalist these days.
“How old are you Stan? 12? Get off grown men penis”
I’m 25 years old. I work as an accountant for ymcmb.
Accountant?? BOOOOORRRRRING. YMCMB is GAY. EndOfStory

Wayne is just getting better and better. Eminem’s the only one that’s fallen off when he worked with pop stars. Wayne went gold with IANAHB2. He’s still doing fine. And Drake will surprass wayne when he retires. Drake’s already just as good as wayne.
“Wayne went gold with IANAHB2.”

True, but remember, much more people buy Tha Carter’s than his other albums and he puts up a lot more for his Tha Carter albums than other albums that he has made because he holds the better songs for his Tha Carter’s. He won’t outsell MMLP2, but he will easily go platinum.
If anything, Wayne’s getting worse.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Wayne getting worse? He’s getting better. Eminem’s the one that’s falling off. Wayne was the only reason why recovery did well and now MMLP 2 is about to sell half that.
In the United States, the al
bum debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling more than 792,000 copies in its first week, becoming the second-biggest debut of 2013 and the second-largest sales week of the year, only behind the debut of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, which bowed at number one with 968,000 in March. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 logs the sixth-biggest sales week of the past five years. The album also marks Eminem’s seventh No. 1 album. In its second week the album dropped to number two, selling 210,000 more copies. In its third week the album returned to number one on the Billboard 200, selling 120,000 more copies. In its fourth week the album dropped to number two on the Billboard 200, selling 199,000 more copies. The album sold 1,727,000 copies in the United States in 2013, making it the second best-selling album of the year.
In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling over 143,000 copies, becoming Eminems seventh consecutive No. 1 album in the UK. By achieving such a feat, Eminem became the first American act to score seven consecutive UK Number 1 albums and is now on par with The Beatles in second place for the most chart-topping U.K. albums in a row.
In Canada, the album debuted at number two on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 104,000 copies, just falling behind Celine Dion’s new album Loved Me Back to Life, which sold 2,000 copies more.It is Eminem’s biggest one week sales total in Canada to date, surpassing the 91,000 units sold in the first week of his 2000 release, The Marshall Mathers LP. In its second week, the album remained at number two, selling 29,000 copies. The album sold 21,000 copies in its third week and reached the No. 1 position on the chart, making it Eminem’s seventh chart-topping album in Canada. The album was the best-selling album of 2013 in Canada with 242,000 sold.
In Australia, the album debuted at atop the ARIA Albums Chart, with only three days of chart sales, becoming his seventh No. 1 album in the country. It remained at number-one on the ARIA Albums Chart in its second week with sales of 20,096 copies.
This is what hip hop needs right now. After a dismal 2nd half of 2013, Wayne is off to provide his fans with some more street hip hop to make up for a disappointing year of hip hop.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Wayne has been an embaressmet to hip hop for a long long time and I fucks with the carter 2 album its a classic. These days I don’t even download waynes albums I pretend he don’t exist that’s how badly he fell off
low-key I think Curren$y ghostwrite all of Wayne lyrics on the Carter 2
yo solid ass comments from both people
real shit yall talking
which one did gille write? was that carter 1?
wayne has been an ’embaressmet’ lol. Try 4th grade once more.
Got your mother sucking my balls
(While we) fuck each other (we) punch each other in the eyeballs
‘after carter 5 i hope i can retire’
fans with no hearing disabilities hope u retire before then.
“Wayne getting worse? He’s getting better. Eminem’s the one that’s falling off. Wayne was the only reason why recovery did well and now MMLP 2 is about to sell half that.”
1. Wayne is getting worse.
2. Eminem’s not falling off, Wayne is.
3. Wayne was not the reason why Recovery sold well. Em had two singles that went to #1 and none of them had Wayne on it.
4. MMLP2 sold more than INAHB2.
6 hours ago, I asked “Let’s see how long he can suppress his fuckboy traits in the comments”
and I will be real about it, either it’s that easy or teethboy is instigating
Eminem’s a popstar while wayne is a hiphop star, who generally sells less than popstars.
If you’re gonna call Eminem a pop star, you should also call Wayne a pop star. Besides, Eminme is more hip-hop than Wayne.
Wayne has fallen off a bit, but remember, he’s drugged out and going through I don’t care phase. If he clears his head and puts more effort into Tha Carter V, his sales will sky rocket again.
Nah, Wayne is way past his prime. He’s done.
Lil Wayne’s prime, was secretly Gillie The Kid’s!!!
Eminem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lil Gayne. end of story. a dumbass even knows this.
I understand that Drake is arguably the most gifted artist in hip-hop history, but articles like this aren’t necessary. This ain’t news.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Gifted.
Hilary Clinton said in a recent interview that Drake’s music makes her play with herself.
Something I’d expect from an old white woman.
before I saw the receipt of $6473 , I did not believe that my friend woz actualie earning money in there spare time on their apple laptop. . there friend brother had bean doing this for only 19 months and by now cleared the morgage on their mini mansion and got Buick . visit this website………nxy.in/gxq6

I wanna touch drakes butthole right now. His butthole is amazeballs.
“Lil Wayne’s prime, was secretly Gillie The Kid’s!!!”
Did Gillie The Bum perform those songs in front of millions of people? Did he get credited with going double platinum? Where’s Gillie’s 100 mill?
You can thank Birdman for screwing him over.
It seems that the Cash Money Music Group is going through another transitional phase. There has been a mass exodus of their artist in the past 12 months, due to financial and promotional disputes. Drake has a distribution deal with Warner Bros for his OVO imprint and only has to turn in 2 more albums to Cash Money and Universal/Republic. Nicki Minaj is talking a partnership with Irvin Lorenzo, so Cash Money is probably about to see another sharp decline.
No artist left cash money in the past 12 months. Drake still has 2 albums left and wants to stay at ymcmb forever. Ovo’s at Warner Bros to pay respect to his and birdman’s friend, rick ross, who has a deal with atlantic for his label (part of WMG). Nicki’s also planning to stay at ymcmb and they are planning to release another compilation album next month. TDE is the one that’s gonna decline.
Nope. TDE ain’t gonna decline, YMCMB are.
… I hope Wayne is done. I’m glad he’s off the map. He never was on, so how the fuck can he “fall off” ??? I don’t wanna have to listen to another Lil Wayne project to SEE WHAT MAKES PEOPLE THINK HE’S SO GOOD FOR, and be DISAPPOINTED ONCE AGAIN.
