Lil Wayne announces new Carter III release date, lead single and Kanye collaboration

August 15, 2007 4:54 p.m. by Joel Cusumano
Lil Wayne Carter 3Recalling a memorable scene from The Godfather, Part III, Lil Wayne mustered his best overacting Al Pacino at an August 1st concert and blurted "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" Well, not exactly, but he did announce that his next album, Tha Carter III would be released this December, earlier than previously speculated. Weezy also said the lead single would be the already-leaked "Prostitute," a prim, bucolic tale of love and fidelity. Here's hoping Tha Carter III is better than the third Godfather.
In the meantime, a Wayne collaboration with Kanye West called "Barry Bonds" has been added last-minute to the tracklist of West's upcoming Graduation album (dropping September 11). Though the song's chorus boasts, "Here's another hit, Barry Bonds," it hasn't yet been pegged as a single; the album's first will be the T-Pain collab "Good Life."

lil wayne is the Leborn James of rap right now and I don't care if the mainstream can't see it. I'm praying weezy doesn't sell out, but I don't think I need to because birdman will see to that. I mean the Carter 1 & 2 are two of the top 5 albums hip hop has had in the last 5 years. I think Ghostface is the only rapper alive that can rival weezy right now.
