Big Boi and Eve aren’t the only ones pretending they got something for your local Walmart. The homies at Rap-Up have learned the new date for Weezy’s rock album is Dec 15. SMH. Here’s hoping it drops the same day as Last Train To Paris. Ha!
Spotted: SOHH
Sidebar: Wasn’t Dwayne supposed to be in this? I know LL had his baby that weekend but still. Un-pro-fessional?
@YN – A part 2 video of that song is coming soon 😉
wtf are wayne and 50 having a competition to see who can push their album back more!? this shit is crazy
I have a feeling that even with all this pushing back, this album is already in the water. It’s never a good sign that an album will be fantasic when the release date keeps getting moved back.
What’s with these artificially generated headlines…it’s like the hip hop blogosphere just makes up stuff to pretend like it’s some huge story…Rebirth hasn’t had a solid release date since this summer…Reps from Universal said to expect sometime in the 4th Quarter, whenever Cash Money turned it in, which is no sure bet because Cash Money basically does whatever the hell they want…this isn’t one of those 50 Cent situations where the label has filmed like 3 videos and put out 4 official singles
Scene 1: Lil Wayne and Mr. Music Executive sitting at a table. Wayne is flanked by security and is wearing a fedora.
Wayne: I wanna change the game.
MME: Great! You had so much success with CIII, there’s no reason not to approve anything you think of!
Wayne: I wanna do the ROCK. Young Moolah baby!
MME: Huh?
Wayne: I want to make a rock album. It’s going to change the game. Like Weezer’s Blue Album.
MME: … umm surrree….

Scene 2: Four months later. Same room, Mr. Music Executive is talking to Wayne’s Agent.
Agent: We have the finished disk!
MME: Great! I’m looking forward to hearing it. We have a lot of money invested in the studio, we booked Ellen. I can’t wait to hear it.
>> hears album, vomits
Agent: I had the same reaction.
MME: We can’t put this out.
Agent: I know.
MME: What do we do? We can’t tell him “no” to anything. He’ll go crazy! Who knows what he’ll do.
Agent: I have a plan….

Scene 3: 1 Week Later, same room. Wayne and Mr. Music Executive. We come onto the conversation from the middle.
MME: Wayne! You know how the suits are! This album is caught up in editing!
Wayne: But I need the album out now!
MME: It’s caught up! I can’t do anything about it! We need this to be the “perfect” album. (http://www.rap-up.com/2009/07/20/lil-waynes-rebirth-coming-when-its-perfect/)

[Side note: I’m first in line at my local Best Buy to get Carter 4. But after playing Prom Queen over big speakers at the club and seeing what happened to peoples faces, I can’t co-sign this.]
Edit: Change Ellen to The View. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1W189UjojI But you get the point.
