Lil Wayne Tells Producers To Step Their Game Up For “Tha Carter IV” Submissions

    Lil Wayne is still assembling his upcoming album Tha Carter IV, releasing on August 29th. But he’s having trouble finding worthy instrumentals. Speaking with XXL Magazine, the Young Money captain explained that he’s been getting subpar beats and that producers need to hone their craft.

    “These niggas’ beats been sucking. I’m putting it out there: you producing, what ya’ll doing? Get right, man. Step it up,” he said. ‘This is coming from a rapper. One of the best rappers. I ain’t saying I’m the best no more, because these niggas is too good these days. I got old. But damn, y’all niggas’ beats is terrible! [Chad Ochocinco walks into the room] These niggas’ beats sound like Ochocino made them.”

    So far, Weezy has released a few cuts from TC4 including “6 Foot 7 Foot,” produced by Bangladesh, and “How to Love,” produced by Detail.

    1. Cmon producers yall cant supply Weezy with good beats.. Thats the only way he can make a decent album sheesh

    2. C4
      it got that YMCMB tag so you niggaz gonna disagree nigga still the best out right now

    3. This dude wants people to step their game up? PAY YOUR PRODUCERS NIGGA! How the fuck do you expect the hottest beats when on a weekly basis HHDX posts about how you havent paid your producers? LMFAO

    4. Last time I checked if u was a real MC you could kill any instrumental with your lyrical ability…you can tell the difference from an MC and a rapper(lil GAYne). Wayne is a biter! He rides anything is hot!

      1. Are you serious? Anne is a fucking disgrace to a classic song. He AND Swizz Beats can eat a LARGE ASS PENIS for that shit!

    5. Wayne is to producers, as Jay Z is to Artist BETTER than him… They do business with them and then FUCK them over… How can some people condone shit he be putting out?

    6. Lil Wayne wants his producers to step up to the plate a little bit more, and do better, so that when he gets his 3 highly overrated/overplayed singles, he can not pay the producers for years on end like the scum bag he is. fuck little wayne. Take the hint, and fuckin leave the game, wayne.

    7. Even i havent been a big wayne and usually dislike most track however he’s right, these producers have so much to this hip hop shit and they have been ruining it with this recycled pop sounding shit.

    8. I hope this is a joke because this dude is retarded. “I got old”, nah your shit is just wack and has been for the past 5 years. Guess when he got off the drugs he realized that he sounds like a kid crying, struggling to form a sentence on verses.

    9. Right!!! First Of All Why Would Anybody Wanna Give U Any Beats When You’re Currently Getting Sued By At Least Four Producers Whom Produced For Your Previous Album, One Whom Sued You For Not Paying For The First Carter Album And Lets Not Forget About The Lawsuit For The Ghostwriting For The First Carter. Sounds Like Propaganda Just Another Reason To Push Back The Release Date Blame It On The Producers. How Bout U Step Ur Bars Up Just Cause U Spit Some Metaphors And Switch Up Some Words And Have A Lil Witty Wordplay Doesn’t Mean Shit. (Which I THink Cyhi Has Better Wordplay THan U)Talk About Something With Substance) Not The Same Shit Every Track U Refer TO The Same THing In Every Song A Different Way BORING….. And One More THing Prolly Bcuz U aint doped up now u realized u r not the greatest and never was nor will be real shit Too Many good niggas these days huh? Sounds like a copt out went over there to strange music real quick and realized them boys can spit huh tech nina put u down in the dumps huh? LOL Wayne washed up not because i said it he practically said it. BEATS IS ONE THING BUT WHEN U SAY THE SAME THING A DIFFERENT WAY IT’s BORING And He Prolly REalized He aint got nothing to talk about ne more. Saying the same thing over the same beats that sound the same thanks to these not risk taking non original poor excuse for producers. LEts Thank The industry in The people who like to be like everybody else and do what everybody else do which is like 90 percent of the population. I THink I GOt My Point across Im done Goodbye

    10. Sentenced to probation, Weezy decides to sober up. A little while later he admits he’s not the best rapper anymore. Looks like the sobriety is working for him.

    11. whaaaaa?…wayne said he’s not the best no more?!…must of heard of that boi name Money…he’s a beast…gotta youtube em…better yet google Money Kingdom Philosophy or Money My Redeemer

    12. How the hell is LiL Wayne going to tell producers to step it up and say their beats suck when he isn’t paying anyone for their beats. This dude still hasnt paid producers from the Carter 3 and is being sued left and right for it. He should pay what he owes or shut up and be happy producers are even submitting him music still.

    13. he should step up his lyrical game before he starts complaining about his producers beats first

      1. Game wont sell 50k n he knows it, thats why he keeps pushin his album back over n over for the last 2 n 1/2 years

    14. haha what the fuck is he crying about there is so many producers out there, what happened did eminem get all the good beats, na only he could have rapped on the ones he bought

    15. wayne thinks hes greater then what he is. youre gonna get great beats and do what with them? bitches and money. thats all you do wayne.

    16. I think Wayne finally realizes that he has made some real garbage in the past. He knows that Anne sucked. He knows that John sounded ordinary. He knows that How to Love sounded stupid. Maybe he wants something unique like Kanye or Just Blaze.

    17. earth to lil gayne! earth to lil gayne! you were never the best and never will be.. not even in the top 100.

    18. I actually thought the 2 tracks he dropped so far had great production, and it was the performer who needed to step up his game

      *Shrugs*

      But I’m getting old, what do I know??

    19. I’m not surprised with all the press he’s getting for not paying producers on the last album. Pay the producers their share, dude!

    20. I think he quickly realised how bad he is after getting in on the remix with big sean and drake on all of the lights remix…ppl’s comments on the song made it look like he wasn’t even a part of it…lmao..

    21. Wayne has been ON ONE this summer. His album been pushed back how many times ? idk if its cause he realizes his album will be subpar compared to the others but i know he is getting scared. First a retirement claim, then he hates his own song Dear Anne, and now hes blaming producers.

    22. Its time to give one of these up and coming producers a chance! If u listen to whats been onthe radio lately its all crap… the only one onthe verge of busting some rea shit is Tyler the creator AND HE MAKES HIS OWN BEATS, SO THERE U GO.

    23. nigga dont pay producers, how many of em suing him for non payment? then slappin anyone who has given him shit in the face. people dont want to give him shit

    24. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Lil Cheezy ooops I mean Weezy, U gotta be the funniest dude ever, you have the worst reputation for paying producers what you owe them and now you wonder why no 1 is givin you any quality material hahahaha jokes on you weezy!!!!!!!!!LOL

    25. FUCK YMCMB AS A STAFFF, RECORD LABEL AND AS A MUTHERFUCKIN’ CREW! IF YOU DOWN WITH THEM, THAN FUCK YOU TOO!!! LIL’ WAYNE, FUCK YOU TOO! BABY AND ALL THE OTHER BITCHES ON THAT ROSTER: FUCK YOU ALL! MY FO-FO MAKE SURE ALL YO KIDS DON’T GROW, WE GONNA RIDE ON YOU BITCHES!!! WAIT TILL I SEE YOU SUCKAZ IN HELL!!!!

      FUCK YOU ALL!!!

      T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. 4 EVER,
      2PAC ‘MAKAVELI’ SHAKUR.

    26. beats not shitty enough? then they gonna sue him for not paying royalties, he finally stopped referring to himself as the best (criteria that fits only in his mind) and the album would be best served as comic relief when it drops

    27. I’m glad he realizes he’s not the greatest rapper of all time. Because he knows I exist so it would be illogical to say or for anyone else for that matter on Planet Earth to say they are the Best Rapper Of All Time while I’m still living.

    28. Lets clear the situation, the best rapper on YMCMB is Cory Gunz who should be signed to a better label, Wayne aint spit nothin worth listening to since Cater 2, on top of him and his daddy/husband not paying producers for beats what more he expect better get a ipad or mac and learn to make your own beats on Garageband or Fruity Loops… I give Bow Wow and Diggy Simmons more play than i give Wayne…

      1. As soon as you said Corey Gunz is the best, I stopped reading your garbage. Fuck outta’ here. Corey Gunz?? Really nigga?

    29. what this wack mowfucka should be doing is stepping his bars UP! And yeah fucking with lame ass bangladesh, lex and them other wack producers will only get you shitty beats…..

    30. ever since busta, (and smh, chris brown) killed weezy on ‘look at me now’, hes been exposed for the worst.

    31. i forgot to point out that wayne is acting like a little BITCH by demanding producers to step their game up while his lyrical range rivals that of a braindead guinea pig

    32. Wayne need to go to Rozay if he want the bangin beats. Ain’t no nigga rhyming and spittin over hotter beats than Ross is right now and yall niggas know this. But first this nigga Wayne need to pay producers. And work to Weezy it ain’t only the beats that been slippin, this nigga weezy skills been slippin.

    33. If Wayne wants beats then he should, I dunno, pay for them!!! My god are you retarded Wayne? Who the fuck would send beats to you knowing that they probably won’t get paid! A NIGGAS GOTTA EAT!

    34. Make plans for the casket I’m filling my glands full of acid. two hands full of ass dancing with Angela Basset.

    35. They would step there game up if they knew they were actually gonna get paid put yall YMCMB have so many lawsuits over not paying producers what do you expect???

    36. I know Wayne makes money, but are the producers that supplied him the beats in Carter 1-3 on board? because last time I read YM was not paying loyalties to the producers…

    37. This is Wayne’s most important album. Think of how things have changed since C3: no longer the biggest rapper (Eminem), no longer the biggest in the South (might belong to Ross), and might not be the driving force behind his record label (Drake and Minaj are pushing). Not to mention, his last records since C3 haven’t been great. He needs to take his time to get this record right if he’s the legend we have made him out to be.

    38. Step their game up? His queer ass needs to pay up. He makes it rain everywhere, but never in a producer’s hand when they want their money.

    39. Wayne is good on the mic, yawl can say he not all fucking day, don’t change the facts. As far production goes if CMB really IS not paying cats for their work, then you get what you don’t pay for. But he shouldn’t feel too bad, outside of Rick Ross most rappers are spitting over subpar beats. That includes you Dr.Dre!

    40. It’s OK Wayne, Eminem sold with super wack beats on Recovery so that’s what these nerds like anyway.

    41. Wayne IS the best. And don’t come to me with that Eminem bullshit. He’s not even better than Nas or Busta Rhymes.

      1. fucking faggot em murked that lil faggot bitch on no love even he admitted it ,hahah weezy sb daddy weezy sucking babys dick

    42. stupid gremlin lookin niuggah. Yo need better beats cos thats what you’re reliant on.

      Weak ass rapper

    43. Dre takes too fucking long and he sucks.
      DJ Premiere drags his ass too.
      Kanye locked up with Jay but his sound isn’t right for everybody.
      Lex Luger is good for one or 2 beats but he’s not versatile enough for an albums worth.
      Timbo to poppy.

      Call Rick Ross, he got the formula.

    44. Why give you beats Wayne? Your so-called father won’t bother paying the producers their royalties.

      1. But you also need to realize speed is key to getting paid. The formulas the pros stick to is more than likely a way to keep paying the bills on time. It sucks that capitalism screws up art all the time.

    45. I’m not a lil Wayne at all, but to some degree i agree,aren’t you all tired of the same ass 808 bass drums the rapid snare drums and the corny ass synth riffs that 99.9% of artist use today,there are tons of great producers..alchemist blackmilk ,pete rock, 9th wonder,needlez,nottz, mr.porter etc plus the ledgends…this actually might be good for hip hop…maybe this could make producers really start producing real music again

      1. Nigga what you talkin bout, Ross got them bangin beats. Niggas in the hood bump that shit. The streets listen to that shit. nottz or needles were hot, niggas would be bumpin they beats but they aint, so stfu.

        Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      2. Rick Ross is the exception. Kanye dope but he can’t do everything. To be honest I heard some hard shit from unknowns on youtube.

      3. it’s about making great music i just named a couple of producers who are diverse, music changes every few years… i’ve lived in the hood all my life and i can careless what’s hot i’m looking for quality remember all popular music isnt great music, you dont have to be in the spotlight to be a great producer

    46. wayne you little bitch ass fagget, the reason you aint getting good beats is because the real producers dont wanna fuck with you and your bitch ass dad not paying them

      cash money young money brought that on themselves, for fuck sake pay your producers…..

      you there talking bout you want fire beats for C4 but half the producers on C3 STILL dont get paid

      fucking hypocrite….

    47. I don’t think there are great producers out there industry wise EVEN if Wayne did pay them. Not as great as they use to be.

      Rick Ross is the closest thing to a great executive Producer.

      1. there still great, its just that there motivation isn’t there, sometimes artist have to bring the best out of producers & like wise, plus hip hop fans aren’t as savvy as they used to be, example if an average artist came into your studio and sounded like everyone in the industry would you give him or her your best tracks??

    48. Whoever does Tech N9nes instrumentals fuckin makes that shit slap super tho. Tech N9ne got great production.

    49. He is not getting beats because he is a fucking Queerbait, he kisses he friend on the mouth & calls him daddy, he also constantly tells us Weezy F Baby, which means Weezy Fucks Baby, that is just some gay shit.

    50. PRODUCERS STEP YOUR GAME UP!!!!!!????????? IF ANYTHING LIL WAYNE SHOULD BE STEPPING HIS GAME UP WITH MAKING GOOD MUSIC..CUZ HIS LYRICS ARE FUKING GARBAGE!!!! UNLESS YOU FROM DOWNSOUTH WHERE MUSIC DOESNT MATTER BUT DAM!! WITH ARTIST LIKE EMINEM ,SLAUGHTERHOUSE,NAS IS BRINGING NEW HEAT, KANYE & JAY-Z….LIL WAYNE NEEDS TO STEP HIS SHIT UP FOREALLZZ!!! SMH

      1. Stop hating on the south. People from the East and West Coast think they reallly be spitting..Fail…non of the rappers in the US have no substance.

    51. Stop running to these known “cookie cutter” beat making ass producers. Find some underground nigs or get 40 to do your beats. Hit up the florida boys, justice league, cool n dre etc them nigs COMPOSE beats lol and u step ur bars up bitch

    52. The audacity of this bum ass ni99a. Get your cash up ni99a and actually pay the producers that make yo hits their money and royalties!

    53. nigga fuck the beats u still suck eminem killed you on yo own shit and own his own shit like 2o times

    54. Wayne,..you’re a funny dude lil hommie.

      1.) You Know Baby DOES NOT PAY PRODUCERS (thats evident by all of the legal wars.)
      2.) If YOU KNOW baby aint paying us producers,…If you “GOT MONEY” (like the song says) why don’t “YOU” pay us producers out of YOUR OWN DAMN POCKET, shawdy? (we all know THAT wont happen)
      3.) Yes,…WE ALL sent your ass “B” and “C” game beats. Why? For the reasons described in numbers 1 & 2 but also because you DONT FUCK WIT NEW FRESH shit anyway! Lets be honest here shall we?……

      Your FIRST SINGLE was produced by Bangledesh, (who also produced the first single from C3 “A Milli”) He had to sue you and make all types of videos about the shit until he was paid……Then you turn right the fuck around and GOT THE SAME TYPE OF BEAT FROM HIM TO LEAD C4! (a sample, 808 drums, snare)

      STEP OUR GAME UP HUH?? LOL GTFOH

      NOW, those of us in the game KNOW that if a producer (especially a new one) does NOT get at least ONE of the first 3 singles out…Chances are we aint gonna see no BIG MONEY!! SO…we stuck with “album fillers” and since NO ONE BUYS ALBUMS anymore,…We are pretty much just some obscure dude who has a placement with Wayne. (bank account stays the same)

      ON top of all of that: YOU KNOW (ever since you came clean about NOT liking the “ANNE” song) that YOU have NOT been Rhyming on the level of “The Drought” mixtapes, and The Cater 1 & 2,….SINCE THEN!!
      (C3 was dope, No Doubt,…but it WILL NEVER BE CONSIDERED AN “ILLMATIC”, “REASONABLE DOUBT”, “CHRONIC” TYPE OF ALBUM) nobody really expects that from you,… BUT if you runnin ’round poppin that you “THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE” AND SHIT …….YOU GOTTA BACK THAT UP!
      (BTW: the makers of those classic albums were NEVER called GREAT until AFTER the album dropped. Soak that up a second!)
      What those albums had that YOU SERIOUSLY LACK is “Social Commentary” (google that)

      1.) You just did prison time in Rykers. Where’s the songs about that?
      2.) You have two children you BARELY FUCKIN SEE. Where’s the song about that?
      3.) The hood is the greatest financial trouble we have EVER been in! Where’s the song about that?
      4.) The N-O is seeing some of the worse flooding this season since Katrina. WHERE THE FUCK IS THE SONG AT Woady??

      We, as producers, Djs, and fans could give A FUCK less bout your money, hoes, cars, and clothes. NOT cause we hating,..but because there is more to life than that shit! OK,..so you know what a “metaphor” and “simile” is……AAAANNNDD????
      So does your average 5th and 6th grader nigga!!! but a child CANNOT describe the pain of divorcing someone you loved since you were a teen, LIKE WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND TOYA. (remember that nigga? She Does!)
      Your own artist (DRAKE) surpasses you at that one point…HE AINT AFRAID TO SHARE HIS TRASH! (figure of speech)

      SO,..I was one of those “wack” producers that submitted you beats lil nigga. But one thing is for certain…. and 2 things are for sho,…I KNOW YOU AINT REVIEWED ALL OF THOSE THOUSANDS OF BEATS SENT TO YOU OR YOUR PEOPLE! STOP LYING nigga!! Who the fuck you think we are? and #2 IT AINT OUR FAULT THAT YOUR SKILLS ARE LIMITED and YOU RAN OUT of the regular shit you been pushing to us for over 3 years now. STEP YOUR CONCEPT GAME UP! Maybe the beats will sound like they should then!

      YOU want “A” game beats? First,..Send “A” fuckin check! Then give us “A” fucking good reason other than the fact that you made the phrase “bling bling” and “drop it like its hot” popular. (Oh yeah…BY the way…You made that a hot LINE…SNOOP MADE IT A HOT SONG!!!)

      YOU NEVER BLAMED A RANDOM GROUP OF PEOPLE BEFORE FOR YOUR SHIT….”EVER” IN YOUR CAREER (that I know of!!) and lets be real…you have been on some wack ass tracks before…(this whole year proves that so far) but you kept being hungry and kept recording and pushing and driving and thats what brought you here today. BUT this bullshit bitching about THE PRODUCER COMMUNITY being the SOLE REASON FOR THE DELAY OF THAT BULLSHIT REPETITIVE SOUNDING ALBUM IS NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU Shawdy.

      You sound, confused, frustrated, jealous of Drake, EM, Jay, and even Nicki’s success and you’re trying to find a scapegoat to use as your way of hiding YOUR OWN FUCKIN WEAKNESSES! Thats REAL TALK!

      Final Point,….
      My little “yoda” looking friend,…search deep into your soul, heart, and mind and get those fucking Yes Money (oops) I mean Yes MEN out of your circle and go back to the formula that make a hip-hop Classic. Go Visit Mannie…Yeah Mannie nigga,…(you know…the PRODUCER that made your punk ass a star?),… shoot the shit and then Knock a few out for old times sake. You should begin to hear and feel beats differently then. YOU should be good after that!

      If Not,…C4 WILL FLOP,..YOU WILL FADE, Drake will pass you and then LEAVE you, and YOUNG MONEY WILL TAKE ITS LAST BREATH. (all good things come to an end eventually)

      And trying to put the producer community ON BLAST will only bring that day closer my nigga! Know That!

      This stunt you just pulled will ONLY make most of us say FUCK YOU for good. Now you wont even get a “C” game beat unless its from a dick rider producer who will one day realize he made the mistake of fucking with you and baby when his checks begin to get smaller! # REAL SHIT

      Bottom line……STEP YOUR BLACK CARD and TALENT UP OR……you’ll be hearing those same beats on Detox, TM103, T.Is new Album, “Watch the throne”, and many more of your competitors projects!

      Producers MAKE YOU RAP NIGGAS RELEVANT!! Put out an accapella album and charge $10 for it and we will all see how that ends. Try it and see.

      Long Live Composers, writers, and producers. FUCK A RAPPER!

      1. I read a few paragraphs then came back to reality and realized I was reading a shitload of words about lil wayne…I came to my senses and stopped reading immediately before my brain cells evaporated.

      2. I felt almost everything you said.. until “fuck a rapper”. Werent you just bitching about Wayne calling out the entire producing world? You praised a handful of rappers before disrespecting the entire art. Don’t write a book.. then ruin it by saying ignorant ass shit. Your 32 page response lost relavence that fast!

      3. @Anonymous: First off,…put your name up there. Don’t make it a point to prove a point but be too much of a coward to place your name or AKA!
        second,…I can’t help it if I am educated enough to write what i feel THOROUGHLY! Ur education level aint up to par, or you have the attention span of a fuckin “gerbal” Maybe next time I will add pretty little pop up pictures, cookies and “nap-time’ (yeah thats it) in order to PLEASE ONE FUCKING READER! GO PLAY IN THE STREET!

      4. I wrote so much because what he said actually affects me because I was one of the many hundreds (if not thousands) of producers who sent him music. Therefore, his statement was “offensive” to me and I spoke my fucking mind. U dont like it?,..don’t fucking read it! Simple. I said fuck Rappers (commercial versions of lyricist) But long live The Lyricist who appreciates, respects and honors the DJ, producer, lyricist, dancer, artist relationships. That is all.

      5. In one post, you summarized every single thought I’ve had about this dude for years. I wish his younger fans really understood this. I agree with this 100% and I really hope you succeed. Obviously you’re a little upset but I hear you. The frustration that you face as a producer, I feel as a fan of hip-hop. The man and his label disgust me and what disgusts me more is that a guy like Drake who has mounds of potential is following in Wayne’s footsteps. If he did what Kanye did and was mentored by someone like Talib Kweli or Common or Nas, he could really change the game. Until then I’ll stick to artists like that or newer guys coming up like Joell Ortiz who have the tools to make good, quality hip-hop. I’m dying for a new Nas album and Food N Liquor 2. Once again, good luck and great post.

    55. Lil Wayne keeps pushing tha Carter back because he knows that his Buzz is not like it was for Carter 3. Lil Wayne fell off hard when he start doing rock then went to jail. Also, he got way too much bad publicity for not paying for his beats..Ninja Call Manny Fresh because you need a revamp.

    56. why would someone give ya ass thier best beat when ya ass cant pay them 5 to 6 other producers who made hits for you..niggaz eat off of royalties if you dont give me my royalties or even a deposit or down payment nigga you gettin my beats that i made on my kitchen table…Wayne needs to stop tellin people to step up when he needs to step up a whole building and take care of his own shit cuz either its him or baby who aint steppin up to the atm and dishin out cash..its really “baby money”..

    57. I hope to fucking god that Drizzy is payin 40, rather than taking after his mentors baby and weezy.

      “Drake” is essentially a hip hop group featuring Aubrey Graham and Noah Shebib.

      Those two make a great pair (musically, no homo) it would be a shame to see 40 leave Young Money without drake. (But a blessing to see them leave together haha)

      1. DRAKE GARBAGE AS HELL I CAN TAKE A MORNING SHIT & SOUND BETTER THAN HIM….AN TO THESE TWO DUMB FUCKS GOING BACK IN FOURTH ARGUING ON AN BLOG SITE I SUGGEST GO GET SOME PUSSY, YALL ARGUING LIKE TWO GAY FUCKS OVER A TUBE OF LUBE….WHERE THE FUCK IS YALL COMMON SENSE AT GOTDAMN….P.S. 6FT7FT BEAT WAS SHITTY AS HELL YALL KNOW T.I. WAS OFFERED THAT BEAT 1ST BUT TURNED IT DOWN THAN WAYNE JUMPED ON IT, I WOULD OF PASSED IT UP TOO KOS IT’S GARBAGE AS FUCK

      2. ^^^Drake being wack is YOUR opinion and take it easy with the heavy capslock lol its not that serious

    58. Man all the great producers know the deal. No cut = No go. If you starting out and don’t care about that gwap, go ahead. But you know Weezy don’t look at nothing but the spotlight. You gotta look in the dark to know where the shine should be at. Weezy hardly does that.

      1. if nas stepped up his beat game he would be in my top 5 goat. a beat can be important for making a classic. see: why kanye became famous as a rapper

      2. nas already made classics my dude:

        besides illmatic: it was written, stillmatic, lost tapes and god’s son (almost a classic)

        Based on these^^^if he isnt already in your top 5 GOAT yet then something is wrong w/ you imo

      3. oh and nas been established a legendary career before kanye even came into the game so what the hell!

    59. lil wayne, amen! if only the producers could match your lyrical ability. for all i care, even the cover artist should step his game up.

      ONLY THE BEST FOR THE GOAT…Lil Wayne gonna have ya’ll tremble in fear. paying no cut here, paying no cut there, whatever, producers are getting paid from the honor they receive from working with the living legend. smh haters, all you guys don’t even compare to him in terms of talent or success

      1. WE DON”T BELIEVE YOU! YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE!!!
        Then Be a “TRUE” Fan of his and become a producer, send him some HOT beats, allow Baby to NEVER pay you while your pockets and Family suffer for it, watch helplessly as they buy twin 2 million dollar 2 seater sports cars off of your work, Then rinse and repeat! (Oh yeah BUY HIS ALBUM instead of stealing it from the net while you are at it) GTFOH

      2. well maybe the producers should get second jobs! if producers are making horrible beats these days, obviously they need a second job to support themselves. the beats lil wayne gets aren’t good enough for him, so why is he gonna pay for bad merchandise.

        enough people are gonna be buying wayne’s album regardless, so you lose. take whoever your favorite rapper is and realize that he ain’t gonna be as good as wayne. so maybe you should GTFOH

      3. regardless to that wanna be witty shit you just said, (it didn’t work) You still did not say that YOU (personally) would ALLOW Baby and Wayne get super paid off of your talent while you sit there, broke with a smile on your face just happy to be in the studio with your G.O.A.T! (actually he looks more like an ape but thats besides the point!) *clears throat* Now,..FUCK A SECOND JOB! Why would I go work a 9 to 5 like to make some other fucker and his children rich, when I can OWN MY OWN BUSINESS DOING AND CREATING WHAT I LOVE while making myself and Family Rich! Besides that,..A REAL producer wont want to work another job that will interfere with his creativity! So as I said before…YOU, and LIL WAYNE’s Arrogant overly cocky ass can GTFOH!!!!

      4. haha, u a funny kid, if producers are waiting to get paid on one beat that they made, they obviously not working hard enough. you aren’t creating what you love, you are just creating it cuz you think you are gonna get money off of it. seriously, wayne is goat because he sells, he is doing his part. if you love it so much, why don’t you hone ur craft. i think you need to GTFOH before you pop a blood vessel or something.

      5. Craft is honed and honing it more everyday shawdy. Now answer the question……WOULD YOU WORK FOR FREE FOR YOUR G.O.A.T. WHILE MAKING SOME OF THE BEST SHIT THAT YOU LOVE JUST BECAUSE HE SAID “STEP YO SHIT UP??”” Would you?? BTW: I aint mad at all. I just got off some pussy earlier. Im good. YOU?

      6. go to the bottom if you want my honest response to ur question. all this is just me speaking about the subject.

        haha, i’m good too, hope the pussy was good. gotta wait for my pussy on saturday night cuz that’s when my girl is visiting me..long distance troubles. u gotta be loyal tho, that’s my principle.

        okay, i’ll stop dicking around tho, i’ll tell you how i truly feel. this will be an intelligent response:

        wayne should stfu. he shoulda quit after da drought 3. now i’m sure a lot of adults buy his stuff these days cuz they are crazy dickriders/delusional/family (not even sure about that)/people who don’t really know hiphop except for your radio artists/lil teenage boys and girls. and then you have some people buying his stuff because they wanna buy it just to say they have the carter collection or they want to give it a try and support the rapper/industry/economy/whatever.

        sure wayne does really well in sales, but i don’t care about sales, i care about respect in the real lyrical hip hop industry. wayne used to have it for me, now he doesn’t. but oh well, on to your question.

        wayne should stop thinking so highly of himself, and i’m curious to see who he thinks is better than him. anyways, it is wayne’s fault for not paying, but it is the producer’s fault for working with a goonsquad like baby/weezy. but, it is more weezy’s fault that he isn’t paying royalties. it is business, but i think producers like the ones weezy is working with are well off enough that they can support their family. it isn’t a matter of life and death. however, producers should be persistent in getting their money.

        would i make a beat for free for my actual favorite aka NaS. hell yes. if he said i should step my shit up, i would, but it’d be enough for me to know that I made a beat for my favorite rapper. now if i was dealing with other rappers aka lil wayne, i’d act more like how stewie beat the shit outta brian in that one family guy episode. hopefully you know what i’m talking about.

      7. LMAO! You are a fool for that one. I hear you. My Favorite MC happens to be 2Pac, but unfortuantely I will never get a chance to make a track for him Free or otherwise, but I would do it tho on the strength that he would show me props and then make something “meaningful” and timeless to the shit. Thats payment enough.

        But the way wayne is NOW, Shiiiiiiit aint nothing timeless about “real G’s move in silence like lasaGna” Yeah, I get the metaphor,..but how the fuck will that get someone through a tough time? In either case,..I will NOT be submitting anymore tracks to that kid. I aint the best producer in the world, and according to him IM WACK anyway (which im not) but he definitely took that comment too far to address in public. He knows how to contact those that he feels are WACK!

        If he is smart he will realize that he just LOWERED the expectations of his own album now that he just told THE WHOLE WORLD that all of his beats will be wack! Peace Kid.

      8. haha, yea, i fool around a lot. but on the real, if you want your beats to be heard (for free–but you may get recognized), send your shit to mc supernatural. his email is verbalselfdefense@gmail.com

        if you don’t know who mc supernatural is, damn, u should

      9. Good looking out big hommie. I sure will take you up on that advice, and info. I know VERY WELL who NAT is, yo! That cat SHOULD have been where Wayne is. Guess he aint “commercial enough.” (Too much immaculate free-styling I guess) SMDH! Peace.

    60. He has a point. Producers have one job and that’s to come up with banging beats. If they can’t deliver, they’re worthless.

    61. I’m not sure what Lil Wayne has heard from the submissions but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of garbage.

      Not trying to hate on anyone, but today the number of “producers” have multiplied EXPONENTIALLY with the explosion of PC sales and beat programs. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he (or his team) hadn’t heard at least 200 submissions from somebody who just started producing just this past Christmas (after they recieved their kit as a gift).

      I’m not saying that he was right for telling EVERYONE to step their game up. I’m just stating that it’s such an oversaturated market nowadays that QUALITY beats are harder to come by.

      Plus, as someone mentioned before, he’s sobered up so not everything rocking at 132 decibles with a deep bass line sounds as good as it once did. His judgement is starting to get a little “clearer”.

      1. You actually have VERY valid points, But I would like to add this though….when you do songs Like “JOHN” and “6FT7” and hop on songs with Young Jeezy and Ross that ALL have LEX sounding tracks…. he makes his argument be THAT MUCH MORE DISRESPECTFUL! If you want FRESH producers to do Something NEW with Music….SHOW US WHAT YOU MEAN BY NOT CONTINUING to do what you been doing! HE IS confusing The CONSUMERS AND THE Production community. Thats all Im saying! Dont shut down my soul track but then pick a track that sounds like LEX did it,….Then Bitch about NOT GETTING ANYTHING INSPIRING!! FUCK THAT! Artist and Producers Inspire eachother,…NOT DICTATE TO ONE ANOTHER! Shit dont go well that way!! For real! Furthermore,…MONEY MOTIVATES A LOT!! U DO THE MATH!

      2. Believe me, bro. I’m one your side. I read your first post and smiled side to side when I was done because you wrote exactly what I (and pretty sure countless others) feel, but don’t hear enough of away from the computer.

        It’s not easy making a great record. Sometimes the tracks don’t match the idea of the sound the artist have in mind. But I do understand it’s a two way street. Sometimes the artist have to MAKE the lyrics and flow complete the song rather than depend on having the track complete the song for them. But that’s music. Hell, some of the most famous songs in history where hailed as classics and people barely knew what the fuck the artist was talking about. So, understandably, the beat is important.

        Just my two cents.

        Plus, he’s whiny because he can’t get his buzz on no more.

      3. LOL I know, right? He can’t get a smoke of that “good good” and an taste of that “kool-aid” so he just irritated with us right now. He will love us agin in the morning. LOL

    62. “I ain’t saying I’m the best no more, because these niggas is too good these days. I got old.”

      Wayne gets a LITTLE BIT of respect from me for that…i still think dude is wack though

    63. Damn homie…maybe you should start payin’ niggas fo they beats, ya think?!!

      Then maybe you’ll get some hot shit! Niggas been peepin’ how you fuckin’ producers over…I’m just sayin…

    64. Yawl are straight DELUSIONAL if you think Wayne has no buzz. He all of over the place STILL! Bad beats or not. You don’t like him… So what. It doesn’t change Wayne’s reality. He do need to pay for those joints though.

      1. wayne has buzz, just like how justin bieber has buzz. they just both happen to get buzz from a delusional crowd aka mainstream people. so you check yourself.

        ps. wayne’s reality is surreality.
        pps. wayne won’t get his respect back from people who have sampled all kinds of hip hop. he just isn’t lyrically talented enough to make complex rhymes anymore. he can make those simples rhymes that simple minded people fall in love with

      2. Look dude, the people on this HHDX board are a handful of nobody’s compared to Wayne’s legions of fans who could give a shit about who produced what. You state your feelings on how you don’t like him, fine, it’s still…So what. This is another article that will be forgotten by next week.

    65. there are great producers out there.. U gotta fill n the beat wit lyrics that match the sound its producing.. Its not always about how hot the beat is but the lyrics u craft for the sample… I hope c4 is hott but idk… There are great producers out there such as….. Jhalil beats, cool n dre, drumma boi, no i.d, justice league, southside, lex luger(sumtimes), just blaze, bangladesh, cardiak, premier, and many others… Lil wayne need to step his game up that fuckin simple… C3 was decent but as a fN of his i havent been impressed latley…

      1. C3 IN MY OPINON WAS GARBAGE AS HELL IT WAS ONLY BOUT 5 AT THE LEAST BANGIN TRACKS, THE REST SOUND LIKE IT WAS AN JA RULE ALBUM…C2 WAS WAY BETTER AND THEM DEDICATION MIXTAPES DAYS WAYNE GET BACK TO THAT OL CASH MONEY STYLE NIGGA & PAY FOR YOUR BEATS

    66. Hmm… Maybe if you paid your producers (Bangladesh, Play-N-Skillz, T-Mix, Deezle, Jim Jonsin) they would give you dope beats

    67. TRY RAPPING FOR 17 STRAIGHT YEARS AND SEE IF YOU STILL HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY AT 28 YEARS OLD.

      YOU GUYS KEEP TELLING HIM TO STEP HIS BARS UP BUT HE’S ALREADY SAID IT ALL, NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE JAY-Z.

      1. JAY-Z ASS NEVER WAS THE SHIT TO ME TO BEGIN WITH, WHEN HIM & NAS WAS BEEFING NAS SHITTED ON JAY-Z EVERY DISS TRCK REAL TALK

    68. First off, Dwayne. Pay your f’n producers and maybe cats will want to f with you.

      Second, try picking beats from other cats…solidified hip hop boom bap cats instead of these monotonous ass producers you deal with…and don’t pay. Kick bangledesh’s wack ass to the curb. Kick jim jonsin in the head and slide him to the front yard so the garbage man can pick him up and discard him.

      Third, step your gatdamn lyrical ability up and not down.

      Fourth, be coherent.

      Heck you really need to get back to Mannie Fresh truthfully. That wouldn’t be a bad thing necessarily. But once again back to one… y’all don’t pay niggas.

      I’ll give you a list: The Alchemist, Preemo, NO I.D., Large Profesor, Kanye West… hell truthfully I wouldn’t mind just Alchemist bringing the sound scope.

      But it all goes back to the first…pay your producers.

      Finally…stop making wack shit.

      1. I feel you all the way…but I don’t think he’d sound hot over a beat from the ones you named….his lyrical game isn’t up to par just yet…now if he went back to the way he flowed on the Carter 1 and 2…then Id reconsider

      2. Those producers are dope but thats not his sound or style. Plus wayne is more mainstream now. The beats he spits on now maybe not so top-notch but they fit the style. Thats his sound. Far as that he’s fine but it goes back to “PAY THE FUCKING PRODUCERS”!!!!

      1. LOL as soon as i read your comment i looked straight at wayne’s pic and started bustin out laughing hahahahaha!

    69. Maybe Because they knw your Broke ass won’t Pay!!! Just ask the niggas that Produced Carter 1-3

    70. wayne is gonna be alright, he’s just a little frustrated/nervous because he can here kanye & jay-z footsteps coming (watch the throne)

    71. Lil Wayne has rapped on some of the most wack beats I’ve ever heard and he’s saying tge beats that are being submitted are garbage? I doubt their far worse from what he has rapped on in the last 5-6 years.

    72. Dude is complaining about producers beats suckin’, huh. They might be doing that to him on purpose, because he & baby’s ass don’t know how to pay nobody! Man, I hope Lil “Layme” does retire after this al”BUM” too!

    73. On some real shit, its 80% about production (including instrument selection, mixing and mastering etc)but a true artist/lyricist can turn nothing into something its call creativity. wayne is good at using masterwriter but he needs a reality check, being creative comes from having nothing and being inspired by what you dont have. Truthfully he needs to go back to old cash money days when he did it out of all love and pain if not just retire b/c alot these cats making hard for these young niggas to eat thats really out here doing this street shit. Im with waka the music industry is 2 fake i quite lol..Id rather sell dope

    74. Start paying your hit makers without the use of litigation and maybe they’ll stop sending you their B-List beats, lol! C’mon Son, the first time i was like okay, maybe a small overlook then it was nope, this nukka is griiiimmmmey to the people who produce his hits… Think about it…

    75. Now he’s felling the after affects. The A-list producers aren’t sending beats. Baby/Slim dont fuck their name up in the industry because they wont pay producers. Lets see if the TC4 will be as good as the last one. So expect to hear some un-producers on this album. which isnt bad but the swiss beatz, jon jonison just to name a few wont send him any beats. HA! STAY TUNED

    76. Why would they send anything..when they gone have to take you to court to get they paper!…lol

    77. lol. if you all really dont like wayne and don’t wanna see articles about him, STOP COMMENTING and clicking on the link. they use hits and the amount of comments to determine if they should keep writing articles about ppl. lmao. alot of you hate him but you’re just helping him. smh

      1. EXACTLY! That’s what I’ve been telling these hating ass trolls. The more you hate on Wayne, the more you are HELPING him because you are boosting his buzz and keeping his name relevant.

      2. jason, send him flowers along with nude pics of yourself. get it over with, queer!

      3. Freddy, tell your mom that she sucks at giving head.
        Oh, please get AIDS and die a slow painful death.

      4. Thanks to all the haters for contributing to make this the #1 most discussed news article on the site.

    78. THIS UNGRATEFUL PIECE OF SHIT!!!

      FIRST OF ALL HE SHITTED ON ALL THE HOT BEATS HES BEEN GETTING FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS WITH HIS CLICHE TYPICAL BULLSHIT AND LAZY RHYMES (2 WORD BARS!!!)

      2ND HE DOESNT PAY HIS PRODUCERS

      AND NOW HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO TALK SHIT ABOUT THESE PRODUCERS

      I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD STOP PRODUCING FOR WAYNE, LET HIM MAKE HIS OWN BEATS ON FRUITY LOOPS

    79. this clown cracks me up… He is complaining that he isn’t getting good beats.?? Maybe if he would stop screwing over the “good” producers, he would get better material. Doesn’t he realize that people talk and know that it takes years to get paid from his camp, if at all?? Fuck that… You treat people that are trying to support you like shit, they will leave. All things will turn on you if you abuse it long enough. Fuck you “weezy”… corny ass baby flava flav looking midget!

    80. Fuck Lil’Wayne!!! That’s not called hating, that’s called not being HEARING-IMPAIRED.

      It don’t take a genius to know this dude has ZERO talent, weak ass flow, weak punchlines that a 1 y.o. can write better, weak delivery, ugly as FUCK, no potent lyrics— but I guess the people CRAVE Stupidity so there ya go: Lil’Brain Wayne!

      Fuck you if you think I’m hating, EAT A TRANSVESTITES HAIRY TESTICULES! hahahahaha -that’s funny, LOL. I’M CRAZY YOOOOOOO!!!!

      1. You seriously are fucking retarded.
        Absolutely nothing, NOTHING, you just said is even close to being true.
        Your father should have left you as a cumstain, because you would have been worth more as that.

      2. “It don’t take a genius to know this dude has ZERO talent”
        Wayne is one of the most talented rappers of ALL TIME.
        “weak ass flow”
        What? Wayne possesses a KILLER flow. It’s his #1 attribute. It’s also an extremely versatile flow that can fit into whatever beat he gets on.
        “weak punchlines that a 1 y.o. can write better,”
        LOL his punchlines are sick you retard.
        “weak delivery”,
        His strong mic presence on tracks is a result of his great delivery, dumbass.
        “ugly as FUCK”
        Are you a girl? If not, how would you know how attractive he is?
        “no potent lyrics”
        LMAO, Wayne is a LYRICAL GENIUS.

      3. jason, TAKE HIS DICK OUT YOUR MOUTH AND QUIT TROLLING THIS SITE AND YOUTUBE. YOU TROLL ON EVERY ANTI-WAYNE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE TO ARGUE WITH PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE HIM, YOU CANT ACCEPT THAT PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE AND RATIONALITY DONT FALL INTO HIS “BEST RAPPER ALIVE” GIMMICK. YOU BEEN ON YOUTUBE ALL DAY DOING THIS SHIT, LOOK AT THE TIMELINE OF YOUR COMMENTS. JASON, YOU ARE PATHETIC. JUST KILL YOURSELF

    84. haha, why didn’t Wayne just make a song like canibus did. canibus made that funny track “stupid producers” and all Wayne did was cry

    85. Does anyone else feel another push back coming?…smh This is why I don’t believe a damn word any person from the Cash Money/Young Money camp says. They always talking about dates and projects and NEVER comes through on the first first 3 deadlines they make lol How you going to be worrying about the cover art and not have a set of songs you want yet? The only reason these people making money is the moves they make that we can’t see (illegal). haha who knows if thats true but if it wasnt for the talent yougn money has, baby and mack maine would run this label into the ground. Back to my original point, hows this going to make its AUgust release date when he still needs beats? you all have the right point too…”cash money” doesn’t pay for s***

    86. you asshole shoulda payed mannie fresh and you would atleast have decent beats, and you coulda paid gillie more so you would have good lyrics

      how about you make your own beats then shithead or atleast learn the difference from a bass and guitar so when you say you play guitar and on your music videos playin a bass you wont sound like a fuckin douche bag
