T-Pain is apparently a man who keeps his promises. Less than a day after teasing the release of his vaulted collaborations with Lil Wayne circa 2009, he’s made good and released eight of their tracks on his SoundCloud.
Listen below and scroll down for a bit more info on the history of the tracks.

T-Pain sent Twitter into a bit of a frenzy Wednesday (May 17) when he dropped what looks like cover art for an old collab with Lil Wayne that never saw the light of day.
Alongside the corresponding Instagram post, T-Pain wrote “I’m feelin reeeeeaaaaalll spontaneous right now #2009 #TheMissingPageInTheHistoryBook.”
On Twitter, T-Pain shared the same image with the teasing caption: “Do it?”
Twitter’s answer? A resounding yes.
The “Buy U A Drank” singer had teamed up with Weezy back in the late ’00s for several tracks and there was a an idea for a full-length record that never materialized. Now, fans across social media are hoping that T-Pain is ready to drop the recordings from those sessions.
If it’s anything like the other tracks they recorded at the time, fans have every reason to get excited.
One man who isn’t too happy about the news though is a Houston, Texas rapper who actually goes by the name T-Wayne. It’s unlikely T-Pain and Weezy would change the name of their collab at this point, so T-Wayne Mk I should probably just soak up all the additional publicity he can get out of this.
I would love for this album to come out, but I won’t hold my breath on this one.
So Lil Wayne going back to dropping all his old stuff just to stay relevant. I thought he said or cash money said this album will never be dropped, and now it is about to be dropped.That T-Wayne shit sounds gay and old AF. Anyway, shit was 8 years ago, just hoping it jams.
Lil Wayneaint dropping it foo…TPain is smh and if it sounds gay why are you checkingfor it? Why you hoping it jams? Just keep it moving
They may have to settle on a new name. The T-Wayne name was never really official. And there was also that one rapper who went by T-Wayne about two years ago, and neither T-Pain or Wayne said anything about it. If this album does drop, then we’ll see what happens.
2009 Wayne? Release this MOFO!
I remember when this was rumoured and it was 100% pre carter 3. You can hear it in lil Wayne’s voice and creativity, which all went to shit in 2009 (rebirth album) it’s pretty crazy that this guy has been trash for nearly 10 years now yet people are still waiting on c5
I dont mind this shit at all,shit reminds me of high school. That 06-09 era was something else. Had its good and its bad. Wild memories during those times
Holy ish. This is way harder than I expected it to be when it was talked about years ago.
Yeah i can see why this didnt come out back then.
wow this is bad
no wonder it didn’t get released
Damn NOBODY could fuck with WAYNE in his PRIME. “
This is BS. Lil Weezy said if I kissed him on da mouf he would change the name to that shit. Once they drop that my shit fucked up. Please help me and donate to my GOFUNDME. Im not enslaved by a 360 yet and I want to be real bad. Please sign me and make me relevant!!!
It’s pretty obvious why this never got released when you listen to it. T-Pain was pushing for it because it’s essentially his album with Wayne featuring who was the hottest rapper in the game by far at that time. However, it’s not good. The best 2 tracks leaked years ago, and they weren’t that good to be honest and sound even worse as they’ve aged. Also, you clearly see the lazy phone-it-in Wayne emerging here with lots of autotune and lazy bars that it took fans at least 5 or 6 years to accept that he just had lost it.
Now Juelz Santana can unofficially drop “Can’t Feel My Face” to make people remember that he was popular 10 years ago too.
Now clap your hands if you got a bank roll like some clap on lights in this bitch.
FUCCN TRASH.. UNIVERSAL MUST’VE HEARD IT AND THREW IT STRAIGHT IN GARBAGE.. STICK TO SINGING T-PAIN
