Mack Maine Gives Reasons Behind Lil Wayne’s “Carter IV” Delay

    As previously reported, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV was pushed back to a June release date.

    Mack Maine has revealed that the album will now hit stores on June 21, and that the reason behind the delay is Wayne’s need to place finishing touches on the LP.

    “He’s still perfecting a few things, he’s a perfectionist … changing a few lines,” said Mack Maine to MTV News. “We also have a huge record that wasn’t done yet. We’re in L.A. right now. We have a little studio time and it should be done probably by Monday.”

    Maine also pointed to waiting on collaborators as a reason for delay. “If you calculate all of that, by the time we would’ve finished mixing, we wouldn’t have met the [original] due date to turn in the album,” he added. “So we had to push it back.”

    2. they are in LA doing a “huge” record. who wants to bet that Dr. Dre is somehow affiliated with this “huge” record? as long as there’s no more records like “If I Day Today” on the album, i think it’ll be good. just wish he’d go back to Carter 2 style. that is by far his best album

      1. @unclesam Do you even know what ironic means? Because it certainly don’t seem like it. @Jason Shut up he ain’t that good.

      2. Only 4 rappers are legitimately above Lil Wayne on the all-time list: Eminem, Big, Pac, Nas.

        One of the greatest rappers to ever breathe into a microphone.

      1. @ Hahah:

        be honest he’s got a horrible voice. and back in 1998/1999 nobody was checking for him and now people act if he is top 5 dead or alive.. Did lil wayne make a ready to die or illmatic? Hell no! So why are people acting if he is that good. he is just as fake as rick ross. this dude was already rapping when he was 15 years old so when did he do all that gangsta shit? When he was 10? lol.
