Lil Wayne Offers Fans Two Versions Of The Carter III..
Lil Wayne fans will be getting two versions of The Carter III in the coming weeks.
According to MTV, Lil Wayne revealed he will release The Carter III:The Leak on December 18th and it will feature songs from the official The Carter III that leaked during the year. The official The Carter III will hit stores on February 12.
The Carter III: The Leak will include what Wayne called ‘bionic’ versions of songs like “Prostitute Flange” and “I Feel Like Dying”, which both generated a great buzz for The New Orleans bred rapper.
The official Carter III will include collaborations with Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Kanye West.
“[The December 18 release] is gonna be called Tha Carter III, but it’s gonna be called The Leak as well because I get leaked so much,” Wayne explained.
“My music got leaked this whole year. One thing I noticed, when another person’s album gets leaked, it’s a whole thing; they’re distraught. When my song gets leaked, people call and say, ‘It’s the greatest song. Can I have it for this album?’ Or ‘Can I put it on this soundtrack? Can we get the ringtone?’ It’s never, ‘Damn, dude, your music leaked.So what we feel, we’re gonna give you what you want. We’re gonna give you the leak,”Wezzy continued.
“Every song that was leaked is coming out on December 18 — and we have four new songs,” Wayne clarified. “ The song ‘Gossip’ is gonna be the first single from that album. I’mma shoot the video for that in about a week.”
In related news, Wayne was hit with a l awsuit earlier this week by a New Orleans based jeweler who claims the rapper failed to fully compensate for two pieces of jewelry.
Jeweler Jack Sutton claims Wayne purchased a $138,000 diamond ring and a $32,000 gold-and-diamond necklace from him on October 6, 2006 and to date, the rapper has only paid $24,000 for the pieces.
