Who favorited?[Blog] Lil' Wayne Covers Billboard, Talks "Rebirth"
by on October 30th, 2009
Lil Wayne sits down with Billboard Magazine, as he graces the cover for their November issue and speaks on his upcoming album "Rebirth".
Given earlier leaks from the project, did you make many changes to the final version?
"As of now Rebirth is coming out as a double disc with a [disc of songs] by Young Money. I had to add new cuts because a lot of things leaked, making people think they had an idea of what I was doing with Rebirth and what it would sound like. And I hated that because I never want anybody to think they know what I’m doing until I present it. So what I did was make it totally different I flipped it."
Does the album still lean toward rock?
"Yes, the album is still rock. I play guitar on 80% of the songs and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album. But I don’t want people to think I’m trying to do something I can’t do. Don’t think you’re going to put on the album and hear me screaming and singing . . . Don’t worry about that [laughs]. When people hear me say rock, they may get a little scared like, Oh, God. What is he going to do? When I said I was doing a rock album, it was about doing a freedom thing. This album isn’t hip-hop. When I do my Carter albums, I know I’ve got to rap, I know I’ve got to spit. I know the words I’ve got to say and the subjects I’ve got to talk about. I also know the things I shouldn’t say, the things I shouldn’t talk about. There’s none of those limits on this album. I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album. And rock is the avenue that gives you that freedom. I’m just having fun, that’s all. Trust me: People will like these songs. It’s my job to make them love them, but I know for a fact they’ll like them."

Man, Fuck Lil Wayne’s Rebirth. He probably jocked the idea from hearing Lupe’s shit anyway.smh
But I’m sure his “fans” are gonna say he didn’t, that he always experimented with rock.smh
Stick to rapping nigga.
Your just on his dick too much to actually think he takes things from other artists.smh
He stole the Bathing Ape thing from the Clipse, the skateboarder look from Lupe fans(but he tweeked it),His style from Jay(carter 1 onto now, and the freestyling songs thing: he even admits it on Knuck if you buck freestyle), and now the rock thing! He’s not the first rapper or even the best rapper at it! So please stop tryna say how Wayne is original.smh
I hope for your sake, that when he comes to your town, that you’re the first chick that gets to suck his dick. cuz I can tell you desperately want to.smh @ groupies
