Rapper Lil Wayne was scheduled to drop his anticipated album Tha Carter 3 at the end of this year according to Universal Records’ latest schedule. Wayne has now changed his mind and decided to drop the album in the 2008, disappointing a lot of fans. MTV caught up with Wayne recently, who explained his decision.
“November 2008?” Weezy scoffed last week in Miami when asked if his reps’ idea for his release date matched his own plans. Even though he was kidding about the Lp coming out at the tail end of next year, he was very serious about maintaining what he said earlier this month: He does not want to put out his highly anticipated project anytime in 2007.
Who can his fans, who have been consuming his mixtapes, like The Drought 3 thank for this delay? St. Lunatics frontman, and fellow labelmate, Nelly.
“A lot of things [are] coming out this year,” Weezy explained. “My artist Currency, I don’t wanna drown him. Then I’m on a lot of people’s stuff. A lot of people want to use the songs I’m on as singles. That would be a quick, ‘No, reject,’ if my album was out. I don’t like that. I want all that to be when I come out. Plus I was given advice by my big brother Nelly about how to do that. He said, ‘You gotta make them want you.’
“I got a song with Enrique Iglesias and people who sell a million records on their own,” he continued. “Then I got songs with people from the ‘hood. I got songs with everybody. Put their fans with mine, [I got] 5 million [albums sold]!”

teresa? does your mom know you have a mouth like that young lady? talking about those guys up there. how ruuuuuuuuuuuuude!
I heard Weezy is delaying the Carter 3 because Gilly's rhyme book has been running out of pages. Now he must wait for Currency to finish a new rhyme book for Weezy.
You know they pushin that shit cuz everything on it been leaked already. he's gonna make new shit then put it on there

Fuck Wayne he sucks an other niggas face he a fag but if i was a fan i would be angry as fuck 08 he most of loss his mind
Good move by Wayne. Those leaked tracks were all cool wit me and would've made a great album, but I know the jaunts he will use as replacements won't mess up the vibe, because one thing dude can do is pick the perfect songs for his album once a leak occurs, just look at what he did wit the tracks on tha carter 2. I'm cool wit tha album being pushed backed since that won't do anything but give him a chance to choose his new tracks wiser, and will kind of give him a little rest from the mainstream fans.

Couldnt have said it any better!!!!!
I THINK THE REASON ARTIST HAVE TO PUSH THEY SHIT BACK THESE DAYS IS DUE TO NIGGAS LIKE US THAT HEAR THE NEW SHIT BEFORE IT COME OUT,BURN IT AND GIVE IT TO DA HOMEYS........ Y'ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT BLUEPRINT AND GET RICH OR DIE TRYING CAME OUT BEFORE NIGGAS REALLY STARTED MASS PRODUCING MIXTAPES!!!!!! I GUARANTEE IF THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ALBUMS LEAKING AND SHIT THEIR SALES WOULD'VE BEEN NOWHERE NEAR WHAT THEY WERE, AND THINK IF THERE WAS NO MIXTAPES THAN HE PROBLY WOULD'VE CAME OUT WITH 2 OR 3 MORE ALBUMS!!! HE GAVE US SHIT WITH OUT US HAVING TO BUY IT!!!! HOW MANY MIXTAPES WAS 50 AND JAY IN WHILE THEY WERE AT THE PEAK OF THEIR CAREER???...... 50 N JAY ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITES BUT WAYNE IS READY AND WHETHER OR NOT Y'ALL LIKE IT HE GON SELL 5 MILLION AND ILL PUT IT LIKE THIS IF HE CAN'T DO IT THEN ASPIRING HIP HOP ARTIST BETTER ASPIRE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE CD SALES HAVE GON TO SHIT!!!!!
NO STAN, NO HOMO

"Hate is at an all time high everybody, got hate its like a fucking ipod"
i guess saying dumb ass negative comments for no apparent reason is the new thing to do.
If dude suck, he's gay, and somebody write his shit, but you still consistently listen to his shit(you a liar if you say you dont)what the fuck does that say about you and your character???
You cant really believe non that shit fa real or you wouldnt pay dude no attention
Chances are you niggas is closet fans
hope this nigga'z album does good 4 his fans but HELL FUCKING NO TO 5 MILLION RECORDS
not a weezy fan, but i gotta give credit and props to a nigga when he deserves it, so when fools say DYING was a nice joint when it wasnt.........then u kno, i say they a brainwashed.
4 A FACT WEEZY IS NOT THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE, ND WILL NEVER BE

well you got to constantly listen to different artist to judge whether you like him or not, it does not say anything about your character or that you are a "closet."
plus who the fuck are you staying on waynes nuts like this, his publicist. i respect your opinion, but respect others.
I think the bitch ass nigga crackin under pressure
He let Baby and Slim Gas him up to make all kinds of bogus ass statements
now its crunch time and anything less than a classic is a falure for him now
I mean this shit better be ground breakin like NWA Stright outta compton or sumtin
The shit he been puttin outr lately been tight but it wasnt good enough to considered something that would define the artist as the best alive
The truth is I know for a bonafide fact that if he would have dropped that shit on time it would have been a huge dissapointment
Even the wayne heads woulda jumped ship
he may ass well do dat http://crushspot.com/profile.php?u=Rico313Z
yea i feel wht he sayin on datbut shty i'm patienly waitin 4 da carter 3 2 cum out dat shty betta b harder den dem mixtypes he put out.... lil wayne dat nigga doe no homo
nelly smart. dats why his albums dont flop he takes time to put them out. he dosent rush it wit alot of bullshit songs.

Naw i aint his publicist just tired of reading comments not related to post.
Respect everyone opinion if its an educated one.
The gillie comments and ghost writer comments are uneducated so i cant respect that
Lyrically he is as good as he ever was. You probably never heard non of his first albums or mixtapes way b4 gillie came to cashmoney
Listen to Lights Out(classic) and the squad up mixtapes the were pre-gillie and lyrically on the same level as his material during gillies short stay at cashmoney
especially the squad up tapes.
If you want to say wayne swagga jacks(believable)thats cool, but there is no proof of a ghost writer and anyone who listened to him from the start can see the gradual progression as a rapper
the carter one was my favorite cd from wayne, and i dont think anything else he put out can match that, but sorry to say, i will probably bootleg his shit from the corner store, or gas station, because i only spend thirteen or more dollars on cds that i know have substance or are classics. in the last couple months i have purchased legit albums from big L( lifestyles(like my third time coppin) tupac all eyes on me(like my third time coppin lol)) ice cube,bone thugs(greatest hits and strength and loyalty),bun b(trill) dr dre(best of)and project pat(ghetty green, thats a true hood classic) the only rappers i will go out and support nowadays are kast,ugk,bone,dmx,tupac(he comin wit like ten more cds),eminem(if he take it back to the gritty crazed white boy type of rappin)

i agree wit what you sayin but his songs are bullshit, and the only people i hear bumpin his shit is females and white people(not bein racist), and they are the ones that really support rappers and give them the majority of their cake, so nelly a smart business man for marketing to white people and females tho. thats what cass did with that hotel joint because he knew mad niggas would probably bootleg his shit, even tho he the best out right now.
I dont know how true this is but I heard Lil Wayne will be on shady new shit
And I heard that backwards dyin shit too
Still Say it sounds Satanic
Fuckin Brilliant Creative as hell
But that shit to weird
Who da fuck he think he is prince
Prince did that shit with Nikki
Come to think of it him and prince do have alot in common
About that dyin song it sounds like hes the chick is backwards but in reverse the chick sounds like she singin right and hes backwards I think when he rapped the beat was allready going backwards you understand so when you reverse the song the beat is going forward now
WOW
the hes was a typo
dont get me wrong nelly was at the top of his game in his early years with country grammer and he has fallen out, his last hit was about mouthpeices, this is the dude wayne is taking advice from? lmao
yea wayne will sell 1 million just for the groupies which will buy his shit, and sell 200 tho mo for all those white boys in surburbia thinking they gangster lol
real talk man
- the infamous Larry Fresh
LIL WAYNE WILL SELL 5 MILLION IN SAN FRANSICO, HES SMART CAUSE HE WILL DROP THE CD DURING THE GAY PARADE
let me tel y'all wat this faggot weezy did. he leaked his own album,that way he could view the streets reaction and change accordingly. he must even be online right now counting the guns pointed at him. in otherwords, he is going to change strategy coz no one is hyping up the nigaz leaked shit. hola back with your theories.
First he comes out with that song
Diamonds and girls
Now he copying prince song nikki with that dying song
I guess since Him and Jay -Z beefin he found a new role model
Both have shown signs of homosexual tendancies

let me take a guess...u an 88 child right...can u tell me the very 1st cash money album????
lets see if u a wayne fan or a cash money fan...(if u was a damn cmr fan...u never cared too much for wayne. U bumped BG, UNLV, Big Tymers, and Juvie. then Hot boys and wayne. WAYNE NEVER MADE A SERIOUSLY LYRICAL ALBUM until carter I...BUT i give him credit for Carter 2 cuz there was no PROVEN ghostwriter for that album! Nor this new shyt im hearing. He got some hot tracks out! Definantly not that Drought 3 shyt. or these garbage azz mixtapes. None of those will never be Dedication 2! 4 real

^^^^^I could be wrong but I think the first cash money album was one of three
Kilo G - Bloody City
Pimp Daddy - Got to be real
UNLV - 6th & Barone
The First Lil Wayne Cd was the one when him and BG was in the group called
the BGz - True Story
Back when Bg was dissin mystikal
lil wayne was called BG back then But you wrong about one thing niggaz in the NO been checkin for wayne since
Juvinile first cashmoney CD - Soulja Story(they changed the name to Soulja Rags after Juvi's first single
I just remembered kilo G was cash money first
Thanks (nardy)...u a real Cash Money nygga!
I ask every Wayne head this and they have NO IDEA what even BG underground cds are!
its a damn shame. Bandwagon jumpers. Like im the biggest Jay-Z fan. I didnt like that fast rappin so i became a fan in 1996 with Reasonable Doubt.
Like these Wayne nyggaz dont even know he didnt curse when he started....he was a bytch 4 real. Like yall think Lil Flip is a gangsta nygga.
36 mafia aint even Gangsta.
DJ Paul used to get chased home from school and beat up. U be surprise who aint real.
What Ice Cube say in "Go To Church"?
(it make u throw up when u find out ya favorite rapper aint got no nuts)
I AGREE WIT WAYNE ERTHANG HE ON ITS A DAMN SINGLE.....BUT NIGGAS WANT DAT CARTER 3....WAD DA HELL IS NELLY UP TO NOW??? ANYBODY KNOW???
