Lil Wayne is slated to drop what he proclaims is his final album later this year and in anticipation of the release, Wayne has been promoting the project differently than past efforts.
Talking with ESPN recently, Weezy spoke about using athletes to promote the album, as Kobe Bryant recently tweeted the album cover art.
“‘Carter V Season’ was all Kobe,” Lil Wayne said when asked about Kobe Bryant’s contribution. “He came up with it. I saw that and thought, ‘That’s dope as hell,’ so that’s what we’re calling the [album] campaign. I thanked him. Then we thought about Floyd.”
When asked about the Tha Carter V and its makeup, Lil Wayne said the album is all about “growth” and that his music is “supposed to be personal.”
“Tha Carter V is about growth, flat-out,” he said. “My thoughts are wiser. I still say what I want to say—it just sounds better and makes more sense. That all comes with growth and maturity.
“I never try to send messages through music,” he continued. “Music is about self. It’s supposed to be personal, a reflection of me, unless you have somebody writing it for you, and everybody know I’m not that artist. I’m not sending a message because that message may not get across. Whatever message you take from it is your choice.”
No specific release date is yet known for Tha Carter V. Kobe Bryant’s involvement in the promotion of the album may be due to their longtime friendship. Back in 2009, Lil Wayne released “Kobe Bryant,” a song about the Los Angeles Lakers guard. Read the full ESPN interview here.

fuck weezy where’s drizzys next album?
Exactly!
Drake is his and Baby’s gay son. They rape him for money hits and now they have him thinking he’s a tough guy. LOL DRAKE is a sensitive ass BITCH
He’s still sending a message whether he likes it or not.
I’m a Wayne fan, but he did a lot of songs that sent a message and songs talkin about serious topics before 2008 for Tha Carter III. And one thing that makes me mad asf is the fact that Tha Carter III would’ve been an absolute classic hadn’t it leaked and had it contained many of those classic leaked songs. He would have 75% less haters now
Georgia Bush >>>>>>>>> All the other shit he’s done
I never try to send messages through music,” he continued. “Music is about self. Its supposed to be personal, a reflection of me, unless you have somebody writing it for you, and everybody know Im not that artist. Im not sending a message because that message may not get across. Whatever message you take from it is your choice. Right, his only message is that he eats a lot of pussy and fucks bitches.
Take what you want from that. It’s not on Wayne it is on you. Ha

SMH this nigga!! The last 2-3 songs he released were about “pussy pussy pussy” NO CONTENT!!! We all get pussy get over it!!! How about you go back to making music like “Hustler’s Musik” and shit?
That’s what hiphop is about. If you don’t like it, why are you on a hiphop site?
“We all get pussy get over it!!”
Speak for yourself dog.
“That’s what hiphop is about. If you don’t like it, why are you on a hiphop site?”
No, this isn’t what hip-hop is about. It’s about creativity and a hundred songs about pussy is the opposite of creative.
That’s all hiphop is. If you don’t like it, get out. It’s about fucking the baddest bitch or shooting gangsters.
No, hip-hop is not all that. It’s crafting together clever lyrics over dope production. Fucking bitches and shooting gangsters doesn’t make up all hip-hop, that’s just one hip-hop sub-genre among many.
“No, hip-hop is not all that. It’s crafting together clever lyrics over dope production. Fucking bitches and shooting gangsters doesn’t make up all hip-hop, that’s just one hip-hop sub-genre among many.”
how did you not realize that you got trolled
The lyrics are clever and the production’s dope. What’s with your aversion to today’s rap?
Iggy has a dope song called fancy at no. 1 with production that pays tribute to dj mustard’s work.
No, the lyrics are stupid and the production is terrible. Fancy is a trash song.
well it couldn’t be any worse
