Lil Wayne Doesn’t Like His Swizz Beatz Collaboration “Dear Anne”

    Following the leak of his collaboration with Swizz Beatz “Dear Anne” last week, Lil Wayne admits he isn’t really feeling it. The Young Money rapper told XXLMag.com that the song was originally intended for inclusion on his smash album Tha Carter III and then for Tha Carter IV.

    “That was actually a record for Tha Carter III that just leaked,” he said. “It leaked out and everybody’s thinking that it’s going on Tha Carter IV ’cause I was actually gonna put it on Tha Carter IV. But I had been listening to it and didn’t like it. I don’t like it ‘cause the song, all the verses are old. And me being a perfectionist, I hate going with old verses.”

    Weezy explained that Cash Money’s Mack Maine and his manager Cortez Bryant encouraged him to keep it. “They be like ‘Man, you trippin, you killed it.’ I be like, ‘Did you hear what I just said? I don’t wanna do that anymore.’ But I heard that the ‘Anne’ song has been getting buzzed up and everybody’s buzzin’ about it so it might end up one of those you might have to put on the album, you know what I mean.

    Looking back on how he approached recording the song, he isn’t feeling his own lyrics. “But I ain’t trippin’ on it like that; I don’t like the song. I love the beat; I love the idea. I don’t like my execution. I don’t like what I did, I don’t like how I delivered on it. The idea that I had for it, I didn’t accomplish that, what I thought I was gonna do. ‘Cause I was tryna make it a situation song. And I just don’t like it.”

    1. IS that Eminem or Lil Wayne? WTH
      Wayne do not put that trash on tha Carter 4..Sounds Like a fake Stan…Fail

    2. Where all the wayne dick riders at that where saying how great this song is, lil wayne is a good artist ill give him that but in no way is he the greatest ever only youngbucks think him and soulja boy are the best

    3. I SUCK BIRDMAN I SUCK CORTEZ PLEASE LISTEN I CANT RAP THIS IS JUST A STAN SONG BUT ABOUT A BITCH.

      DEAR, ANNE? DEAR, STAN? WHAT A CODEINE FAGGOT

      1. I said it before and i will say it again Lil Wayne suck, period! nothing special about his lyrical skills.

    4. This is a misleading heading…come on HHDX, don’t make us read these types of articles…. making it seem like Wayne had beef with Swizzy. That was very MTO like. SMH.

    5. he didn’t kill shit on anne in fact that nigga mumbled through out the old song lil wayne flow died with carter 2 and his mixtapes ,after the pop/rock star fame he hasn’t and will never be the same

    6. the song is 3 years old now … Its old as hell, he doesn’t even rap like that anymore. For them to put that song on the CIV would be idiotic.

    7. WEEZY F BABY = WEEZY FUCKING BABY = weezy putting a dick in babys asshole =faggotz

    8. Wayne aint had a hot verse since Carter II. All his songs sound the same mumblin like he got gumballs or Birdman’s nuts in his mouth.

      1. Please, Please, have someone else take a picture of you, how many times do I have to say it? You look like a dumb fuck taking a picture of yourself.

    9. “and me being a perfectionists”…alright Wayne, you should know by now that you can’t perfect shit, if that were the case you wouldn’t even be a rapper because your shit is garbage.

    10. This fool only sayin he doesn’t like it and that it’s hella old so his P.O. doesn’t give him shit about the lyrical content.

      1. ….are you fucking stupid??? all these rappers that are on probation or at one time were on probation and still doin music wouldve went to jail as well by your logic dumbass.

        Only speak what you know. Camrons probation didnt end until 2007 but he still had records leading up to then with him talkin all that gun and drug talk. You can say whatever the hell you wanna say on a record/song cus its called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Now if hes caught with pictures or seen drinking then hes fucked

    11. Its a mixtape cut now!! Its like stan in a way, but if he doesn’t have anything else to replace it for the CIV then throw it on the album to rush the project.

      1. yeah, thats probably why C3 sold 1.3 million copies in the first week and his 2009 tour grossed a record $54 million. cause he really sucks, bad.

      2. Damn son you must have wikipedia handy with all those #’s you keep boring us with. Let me help sum it up a little for you. Wayne kisses another man on the lips, he also calls this man “Daddy” & his favorite phrase is Weezy Fucks Baby. That is the gayest shit I have ever heard of.

      3. yo anonymous u anonymous thumb in ya ass takin out and suck it/5some sex havin with ya mom, grandma, uncle, and sister/toenail biting with you teeth/flossin teeth with your pussy hair/ear wax racks on racks singin ass/crosseyed transexual get a life u gogourt eattin ass eattin nigga

    12. post jail weeezy ain tbeen the same.. the drugs make artist soo much better lol… hang em up weezy and soak in that drizzy money..

    13. I’m thinkin of the old wayne on the couch snappin dat new Orleans flags freestyle in the Basement on Rap City!

    14. Da women say DAMN! Dem dudes dnt say a dam thang…. That shotty make em bounce like a bed spring! Keep tawkin that thang leap off the hip keep sparkin pat pat… R.I.p. Lil wayne

    15. Haha,well I have to agree with him the song sucks dicks, now he just needs to realize that the rest of his shitty shit sucks as well.

      1. You suck dicks, and you couldnt rap to save your life, so why dont you go hate on your parents for raising you to be such a fag

    16. Carter 4 will sell alot of records though, I can’t stand YM but it will sell. It will sell in the hood, it will sell to the under 22 crowds, it will sell to the pop crowds, it will just sell. hell he might buy a 100 thousand copies or so

    17. Its funny how Wayne fans hate on his song just cause he doesn’t like the verses cause there old, and real hip hop fans hate on him even when he makes a good song. Listen I listen to Ghostace Killah, Nas, Immortal Technique, Lupe Faisco, Talib Kweli, and 2Pac, and I still like this song. If he really has a problem with it, record new verses and put it on the CIV. Lil Wayne is an average rapper but I still like his pre Carter III stuff.

    18. r u fucking kidding me, i waited years for wayne to bring this style he had back, i loved this track and im sure many ppl did too, but wtvr its his choice, i personally think its his best track this year ( yeah better than that john lennon shit )

    19. hate rap songs with this feel, and this type of voices. Sampling modern songs. Sounds so corny. Can’t make your own melody.

    20. I swear, half the people who end up commenting on anything here are either really dumb, or just plain ignorant. If you hate Weezy so much, and he’s a “faggot”, why do you bother talking about him? I’m not going around bloggin about Adam Lambert, cause I think he’s a stupid fag and his music is terrible. Face it, Wayne is considered by many to be one of the best. C4 will probably have record breaking sales, his tour is sold out in every city, the artists he discovered and signed are now becoming superstars. I know his haters just like to get attention from his real fans, but save it. Your dumb comments dont make a difference in the hip hop community. Go learn how to read and write, cuz haf u dum fuks tak like dis , like ur 9 and flunked outta middle skool.

      1. stfu nigga gon do wat dey do n say wat dey say stop cryin like a lil ho defendin her nigga from gettin picked on

    21. pffft perfectionist? tha carter 3 sucked, the beats was good but he sounded like he was carelessly freestyling drunk through out the whole album, like he was trying to be deep like pac on some songs but he failed cuz the man never struggled a day in his life.

      however post-jail wayne is much better he’s actually spitting like an MC now (sort of)

      1. Yeah the Carter 3 sucked, that why its only sold over 4 million copies and it won a Grammy for best hip hop album of the year. Oh and growing up in one of the worst communities in the US and signing a record deal when youre 12 is easy. pffff struggles? Yeah right, anyone could 16.5 million records and have one of the highest grossing tours of all time.

      2. yeah thats why wayne was the most unimportant rapper in the late 90’s and early 2000’s (REALTIMES) when hiphop was still alive and kicking. i mean we’re living in an era (FAKETIME$) where someone as wack as soulja boy can go platinum.

      3. Carter 3 was actually one of the most well rounded and underrated albums. Dr carter was a exceptional song. A Millie was a great club banger, lollipop was a great mainstream single. Then he comfortable which was a great song for the ladies as well as miss officer. 3 peat which was a good opening and nothing on me which featured the greatest Collabs of the album. As well as the songs shoot me down and the one about katrina.

        Just because most of you retards think “I’m a rapist and I hate woman” or “I was on drugs
        but got off them and then got on them again, my friend died I was sad and went through a rough period” is the only form of music doesn’t mean it was a bad album. Rap isn’t just about growing up in hard times and reflecting upon it. It’s about charisma, punchlines and metaphors just As much. This is why this site is a horrible site full of retards. Because they think anything that’s in the public eye or something that isn’t talking about their personal issues is trash.

      1. Yo fam! U ass. i checked your shit. You need to upgrade what you recording with, your flow and delivery and all that…straight wack. You need to be talented in NY to get love I don’t know what Florida be on fuckin with you! No disrespect hahaha! Fuck it dont check my music

      2. I liked it. He sounds alot better than alot of NY rappers so what you saying dont hold no weight or your opinion is invalid. One of those two

      3. Let me ask you a question. How come its always people with avg music sounding like everyone else like you have the nerve to be dissing others with some shit thats dope and sounds like nobody else?

      4. dont worry about that nigga wondough.in the end he said fuck it dont check my music cause he knows his shit dont compare to yours so he disses. that nigga aint shit

    22. This nigga ain’t been about shit, since I stopped ghostwriting for his sorry ass. Hot Spitta!!! nigga who you thought it was?

    23. Hello guys I’m a sad fuck who comes on to comment on articles about a rapper I don’t like. I think that my comments are noticed by my favourite artist and that some day he will let me suck his cock for real. I like being ignorant. I enjoy when my mommy tucks me in at night.

      1. Or maybe he will see all the people who fucking hate his black midget retarded speaking ass & retire, YES!!!

      2. Damn all you haters are certainly crying over my comment. What you can’t take being shown how pathetic and useless your existence is?

      1. I really don’t like wayne much but god damn you must be one of those fag fanboys that just rides his dick. he goes in right here..this is some REAL shit.

    24. SMFH @ the fucking title of this article. Like Weezy doesn’t like the song because of swizz.. SMDFH

    25. thats teh first thing i said when i heard the song.. his verses wernt bad its just they didnt fit the style of song and it was dissappointin cuz i loved the hook. he should re do the verses make em fit n then put it on the carter.. uc ant have a song relatin to stan n talk about fuckin bitchs n doin all this shit..dont work

    26. Man, this dude is fucked in the head…this is much better than 99.9% of what he’s done in his career.

    27. wayne just cant tell a story..his wordplay is good but to be honest he has changed since he got out of prison..

    28. no wayne fan but this is is better than every song off his last album and the shit he’s put out since carter 3!

    29. REALEST SHIT wayne said in a minute. What a good business man. He knows he not puttin out his best shit. and Anne, in comparison to Stan anyway….well. its really not comparison lol.

    30. Dear Anne won’t be talked about 10 years from now, Stan will still be talked about. Stan Classic, Dear Anne garbage

    31. I admit that when this song leaked I thought the beat was dope as hell, but I would find my self at the end of the song saying, “what the fuck just happened?”

    32. don’t really like it either, if there is a deluxe edition, that’s where the song should be placed.
