Lil Wayne says that his long-awaited and oft-delayed Tha Carter IV is complete.
“The album is done and it’ll be out August 29. It’s totally done,” said Wayne an in interview with MTV News.
The rapper also spoke about his almost entirely-acoustic track “How To Love,” which he says found its inspiration from an unlikely source: Tupac.
“That song is just sweeping the world. It’s touching every woman, that’s what it was for,” explained Weezy. “It was like Tupac had ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ and it was a message to women and little girls across the world just to keep your head up even though things are hard. That’s what my song was.”
“A lot of women don’t know how to love because there’s deep reasons for them not knowing how to love.”

lol
This comes a few days after he rips on producers and their inability to create good beats for him…guess he found a few beats to use.
hahaha. he meant to say their inability to create good beats for his ghost writer.
that statement was from the July August XXL magazine that just came out… the actual interview may have taken place weeks ago so that statement is not as relevant as him saying that C4 is done….how dare you say he aint the greatest of all time…no artist is as versatile and does as much for music as he does…he has created this era of music that we are in
Greatest of all time!!! Intelligent punchlines, best flow, most substance, introspective lyrics, just everything. Lil Wayne is the best.
greatest of all time? lmao ok buddy
Awww man don’t take him serious… He being Sarcastic… He don’t really believe it….haha
lil wayne the best?come on that dumb ass didnt even realize that most of the songs on recovery are about lil wayne,
504 squad uppp
tupac?? how dare he
and what are u? 2pac’s advocate? ofc he’s not tupac, but u niggas are hating so much that u dont understand that u would be hating on 2pac too if today was the 90s
Damn no matter how much loot he makes He always gonna look like a Tranny…..Damn nigga do something with that loot…. You look like Whoopie’s lil sister….
LMAO AT THE LAST SENTENCE! FUCK AHHAHAHA!!!

…
You said more in this bullshit post than That niggah wayne ever said on a track…
Haha man word I cosign that my nigga…
Can’t wait to listen to the Carter IV. I hope it’s as good as his recent mixtapes
Bet you can’t wait for Weezy and Baby to poke you at the same time either huh….. Homo nigga…
LOL leave that lil nigga alone man… it’s not his fault he got lame tastes in music…
^^^@yougay & @Damn lol get off his dick u elitist fucks! there aint shit wrong w/ somebody liking wayne’s music. Nobody is saying shit about u being excited about listening to boring ass backpacker-approved underground rappers (that nobody but u and a few ppl care about) whenever u comment on something. Sorry for the outburst but i cant stand assholes who think they’re better than everyone just cause they listen to 90s rap or underground hip hop and hates on everything mainstream/pop
fuck outta here u lames
^^^This guy speaks the truth
@jason, you might as well say wayne is jesus. SMH.
Am I the only one that thinks Weezy and that Donkey in Shrek got the same teeth? haha I’ma pass on this nigga….
who cares that ugly midget with his horrible voice
obviously u since u bothered to comment it… and yes, millions of others who will buy an album,make him more rich while u r still going to be extra lame in front of your pc
^^^LMAO. Word.
red album gonna be superior but of course tha carter iv gonna sell more since it’s more pop.
Game’s music IS pop, too, you idiot. Just because he talks about gangs, doesn’t make it street. Every Game album sounds like a pop album.
but he doesn’t get nearly the amount of “pop” support that wayne gets. in other words, i don’t see every high schooler in my city talkin bout game. they yellin weezy because he’s a full pop artist and he’s on pop radio, in pop magazines, and on pop websites.
that because game is not hot
Every game album is pop? u mean u commercial, not pop. Lasers was pop and pink friday was pop, and b.o.b was certainly pop. Game’s music and beats are commercial but not pop. Game has never had any electronic euro bullshit put on his albums nor has he ever made shit that tenny boppers has ever went crazy over. Get out w/ that.
C4
They got the title wrong, it’s supposed to say: Lil Wayne Says “Carter IV” Is Complete Trash”
Fixed it for ya.
wasnt it last week he was telling producers to step their beat game up, saying he couldnt finish his album without better beats?
“How To Love”..I hope thats not the best track off that album! Lil Wayne needs a hotter single. In addition, the best song lil wayne has out is with Young Jeezy.
lil wayne should never compare that song to tupacs keep ya head up. this nigga must be on crack or something because that song sucks dick. Also, last week he said producers need to step there game up on making beats. faggot ass niggaa
NO its not anything like keep your head up and stop comparing yourself to pac you sound stupid.. this niga gets off the weed and next thing ya know he’s retiring all the beats he gets suck and he thinks he’s mention-able in the same breath as pac
less then a week ago he was bitching about the production not being good enough, what happened did he just decide to put it out anyway
he diddnt say that a week ago. the internet blogs just work slow at reading Hip Hop Mags articles.
he said that a couple of MONTHS ago in the XXL Magazine interview.
From telling producers to step their games up to saying that the album is complete then to “how to love” = “keep ya head up”
Is his probation period done?
Only in America, kitko…
I swear man ya’ll are some faggots for taking this shit so serious….lol, how to love isn’t that bad of a song…..the bitches r loving it
.
They don’t understand yet…they’d rather have a bunch of ‘hard legs’ around them listen to it and saying “that shit goes hard” instead of a sexy set of legs around singing it.
Carter IV is going to be DOPE! and you haters better get your dicks wet with some pussy before you come on here acting like you superiors because you listen to underground crap that noone cares about.
Says who? An ignorant white idiot from UK?
hey unibrow, you look like you got your nails done along with them broads. looks like you drank too many cosmopolitans.
You like Gucci Mane Rihanna there 4 your comment means poo poo and u dont understand hip hop.go check blak twang dettwork southeast uk album 98.it may expand your mind to seenin wot a silly lil man you are
and no one cares about your shitty party life which u think u can go forever. stop dreaming before u realize these Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane shits were a bunch of the result of marketing strategy.
when he said he needs better beats that was from the xxl interview meaning he didnt actually say that last week, prolly like weeks ago when they were writing the article
So he told producers to step it up a week ago for beats for the Carter IV & they stepped it up, he wrote a song for it AND he recorded the songs already?
“A lot of women don’t know how to love because there’s deep reasons for them not knowing how to love.”
I love how he steered clear of explaining that. I’m pretty sure he knows that in “works of art” by some of these “artists” women aren’t painted as wholesome, loving, respectable, family oriented people…just objects for a man’s sexual desire and that there’s a generation of young females that this repetitivly spewed image has detrimental effects on.
Not naming any names. Just stating a fact.
Check out Dreamworks 3 on YouTube for those who are a little less aware.
hope girls really do like dat track cuz it was horrible lol he cud’ve done better or atleast let Nicki or Drake (who can sing somewhat) sing on da hook
I’m predicting that Tha Carter IV won’t go platinum within the first 6 months of release. Singles haven’t been fire
baby will buy 1 million is he has to.
why is 2pac an unlikely source?
pac can rap and weezy can’t
By years end I Am Not A Human Being will be platinum Tha Carter IV Platinum guarenteed highest selling rap album of this year
also shittiest
You know what’s really shitty? Your mom’s blowjobs. Tell that whore she sucks at giving head
ur mom gave Tha Carter too much blowjobs man i feel sorry for you.
now throw it in the trash
Here comes the KING of garbage music.
You dimwits are hating on Wayne so much because deep down you know he’s THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME!!! admit it!! I can guarantee that weezy he can outsell or outshine your favorite rappers on any day of the week. Carter III went THREE times PLATINUM with over 1 million sold the first week hahaha and Carter IV will sell even more.
damn ur retarded…. shady outshines him on every collab theyve done and doubles his sales… think before you speak u fuckin ugly ass mothafucker…. if carter IV sells more than carter III i will start listening to soulja boy
