Skillz is such a music guy that he doesn’t care about the money, he cares about the situation. Wayne doesn’t let you come unless he has personal relationship with you, which we didn’t. Then we couldn’t come to the mixing or the mastering, which we were upset about. Then, one day, I got it on my iPhone with Wayne and T-Pain’s vocals on the actual track. November, T-Pain’s manager reached out to me, telling me Wayne wanted it. So we started shopping it, but nobody took it. Play: Pitbull was gonna use it, but T-Pain didn’t finish the hook in time. So we had to come back the next day and redo the whole track. Skillz: We did the track in New York and right before we were gonna dump the track into the computer, the engineer stepped on the plug accidentally and turned off the MPC.

Busta Rhymes hit me not too long ago and said he did five verses to the beat and it “rebirthed him.” He was talking to me like I did this amazing reincarnation for him like, “I sound like a newborn baby!” Every time I turn on Rap City, they in the booth rapping to the beat. And it’s the hottest beat in hip-hop right now. A n*gg* went in, freestyled, and that sh*t’s all over the radio.

That right there makes me like that sh*t, because it’s against the grain and it’s working. He switched it up and tried to make it “ill.” If that was somebody else, it wouldn’t be on the radio. It’s saying, “A milli.” He needs to pop about being a millionaire. If it was going on the mixtape, it’s cool, but not on no album or single. I just thought he would make more of a song out of it, honestly.

But I wasn’t around, so what he felt, he put on there. But I prefer Lil Wayne in untrammeled mixtape mode, and there's plenty of that on the new release as well, especially the slightly pricier deluxe version.Bangladesh: This girl I produced for, Shanell, got it to him. 1 single, the double-entendre confection "Lollipop." There's a Kanye-produced slow jam called "Comfortable" on the album as well. It wasn't just mixtapes that built demand for Tha Carter III, which also includes his first No. Notice too the chopped-up bass-and-drums. Carter," where he dons scrubs to try and cure a fake rapper. The range of his style is even clearer on "Dr. Officer," typify Lil Wayne's shape-shifting rap technique. The chuckles, singsongs, and timbre shifts of a song on the new album called "Mrs. That tendency is all over the official album as well. On his mixtapes, he's evolved out of conventional bling-thug rhetoric into something much looser and more playful, treating gangsta rap's antisocial themes primarily as an arena for wordplay. Tha Carter III is Lil Wayne's sixth official solo album. At 25, he's been rapping professionally since he was 11. I own about half a dozen Lil Wayne mixtapes, and there are many more out there. Theoretically, this is OK because the Carter 3 mixtape where it appears isn't for sale, although artists and bootleggers do sell mixtapes under the counter, at brick-and-mortar holes in the wall and online. The Beatles sample with the submerged bass drum could never have been cleared for commercial release. "Help," off the Carter 3 mixtape isn't Lil Wayne at his very best, although I love it - just Lil Wayne at his most blatant. A bunch of them are wilder than anything on the hit release, and at least as good. Many of these songs were supposedly slated for the official album very few ended up there. Twice he put out double-CDs of his own new songs, some over famous beats, some over original music. He seemed to record all the time, free-associating verbally and vocally. But Lil Wayne was so prolific on the mixtape scene that he redefined it. Most hip-hop artists nowadays prime the pump with gray-market mixtape CDs that add guest tracks, skits, freestyles, and other second-drawer material to scattered previews of their next album. In the two-and-a-half years between major-label releases, Lil Wayne whetted his fans' appetites by giving away more songs than anyone can count. Tha Carter III's first-week sales, which were easily pop's strongest since Kanye West's Graduation last September, were spurred by a daring marketing strategy that doubled as a cocky musical challenge.

In the week after its June 10 release, New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne moved a million copies of Tha Carter III, his first official album in two-and-a-half years. Lil Wayne's latest album is Tha Carter III.
