Post Malone was reportedly added to Lil Wayne’s long awaited album, Tha Carter V, the night before it was released. But when the 23-track project arrived on Thursday night (September 27), Post’s name was noticeably absent.
Drake, who was also rumored to be on the album, didn’t make the final cut either. Both artists were supposed to appear on the “What About Me” track, according to Johnny Yukon who co-wrote the song.
“The initial idea was to get Drake on it,” Yukon said in an interview with Rolling Stone. “That was something [Lil Wayne] said to me that night [he recorded his vocals]… Then there were emails back and forth—‘They think Drake’s going to get on it.’”
“The last thing we heard about it, around a year and a half ago, while we were sending the song back and forth, making edits …. at that point, the emails were like, ‘Drake’s gonna cut to it’ […] I don’t know what happened. We didn’t find out that Drake was officially not going to be on it until this week.”
After finding out Drake wasn’t going to be on the song, Wayne started hunting for another artist to take his place and that’s when they decided on Posty.
“There is a version [of ‘What About Me’] that Post cut literally this week,” Yukon confirmed. “[But] something happened, I don’t know what. Something got delivered wrong. That all happened last night.”
Despite the hiccups, Tha C5 was delivered as promised on Weezy’s 36th birthday and featured Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, the late XXXTENTACION and more. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
The album is trash. Why do these fans keep pretending it’s hard?
…No, you’re trash, in life. Don’t equate your life with everything else, it’s just you, you’re trash.
So a comment that says that the album is trash gets deleted?
Lmaoooo
WHERE — I still see it.
C5 the album of the year …this is what I call music ….Saturday chilling with c5 to the world .
Fuck em and mgk or what the fuck them boys call themselves. Real music is here
Damn crack is strong
We not worried about Georgia Florida line ya white boys want everything now you trying to run rap like y’all started it
It doesn’t matter who didn’t make the cut to appear on this garbage Wayne brain what’s left of it after all the years drugs released this crap period Wayne turn your middle finger toward your face
You’re seriously tripping, this is the best album this year… Wayne brings serious bars that no artist aside from Em has come with this year…
The title says here’s why they weren’t on Carter V but then never actually explained why smh
You see all the white boys hating the album is trash ….we don’t believe you, take your mental illness somewhere …this is not em and mgk shit. This is real rap homies.
So far best album ….ya all know the scores .
Ccccccccccccccccc555555555555555555
I’m pretty sure 87% of Wayne’s fans are white actually.
Lil Wayne’s music caters to Caucasian suburban kids
hey fucking moron the only reason why rappers get the a superstar level is because white people listen to it. holy shit youre a fucking retard
Nothing to do with being white, haters gonna hate regardless.
I think the album is great couple of fillers yeah but at less it’s finally out.
Dedication 6 had better lyrics in my book
This is why music today is so terrible. Features over email. Digital beats sent over email. Can’t replace that chemistry of being in the studio hatching out songs together.
Big ass facts. You can’t top organic chemistry.
Album good yall just some hater hating haters
Drake was like eh, im bigger than you…
Ironic since Wayne executed a much better version of what he tried to do with Scorpion.
Wayne will always be his daddy quit being ridiculous
But has a tattoo of him drakes a bitch
albums dope for my money (and im white!) haha, really tho, that track with Sosamann was easily the most trash shit on ther (tbh there is a 15 track album hiding in C5 thats better than anything dropped int he last 5 years) but def 5 or so filler tracks, not the end of the world but i was honestly THRILLED to hear Post malone’s bum non-rappin ass wasnt added to what as already the worst song on the album bar-none – and i can take or leave drake as a ft. artist but he woulda been singin on that soft shit too so this was probably all for the best #C5
Post Malone is garbage anyway.
Thing is, these days, all they have to is make a version with Drake o it & replace it on the digital music services. Same way Nicki quietly added Fefe to her album after it came out.
Drake has sided with Jas Prince and Rap-a-lot in the whole Prince vs. Williams financial beef over Drake. Drake has already mentioned in a couple songs about the money not being right and clearly has a beef with Cash Money Records Slim and Baby. He doesn’t mess with them, doesn’t promote any of their artists or use any of their producers. Basically he does the album on his own and simply delivers it to Cash Money who distributes the album. Their working relationship is very limited and he has also completed his contract obligation and is currently a Free artist. Where does Lil Wayne fall in all of this? Drake doesn’t support anything that Cash Money eats off of unless its his own album.
Kan I do a sign with him.
So what your saying is that drake didnt want to b on c5 cuz he didnt want go give more money to birdman than what his already getting ripped off of his own album im surprise his not it maybe lil wayne didnt want drake
so all these years everyone was talking about Tha Carter V, Martin Scghkrelli (whatever his name is) had the album, Wayne vs Birdman lawsuits etc… and now we read the album wasnt done untill this week. Quite the media stunt
Only a few songs were added towards the end. Other songs were written long ago. He explained that in interviews, videos etc.
U guys are letting the devil in with every album u buy lil wayne sold his sole and bought a satanic 250k chain so satan would help elivate him once again he will deffinatly regret his short life of fame and fortune once he is burning in hell and sufferingfor all eternity dont follow lil wayne to hell repent and turn to Jesus
You fucking bananas bro
White Jesus? AKA the real devil?
lmao. can’t believe ppl really believe this kinda stuff. Show me where to sell my soul for a great ass life bro, the devil can have it when i’m done lol.
Why does discussing a album go to race? Plus I dont even like Wayne’s music. I liked him 15+ years ago when he actually rapped. He’s a feature artist at best. But now I’ll b told I dk real rap bc I’m white?
Stop being white then
Don’t listen to those people. Hip Hop is one of the biggest and only things that we can call our own but anyone in any race can enjoy and participate. Folks who say otherwise are just ignorant.
Drake been trash anyway. Glad he ain’t on C5. Weezy better off without him.
-really crying drakes not on it
