More Carter III News

According to mTV's Mixtape Monday, which seems to just verify almost verified rumors every week, the above cover is definitely the cover to beyond ridiculously anticipated Tha Carter III. This is shocking for one reason: it doesn't fit the theme of Tha Carter I or II whatsoever. It isn't shocking because: It's Lil Wayne, and Universal seems to be letting him do whatever the fuck he wants for this new record, which is awesome. Supposedly second single, Milli, will be the multiply used beat on this one, like C1 and C2 had those little gothic piano interludes. But this time Wayne will be "calling" in to Tha Carter from on the road, and up and coming artist like Corey Gunz (who completely destroys this beat), Lil Mama and Tyga will rap over the beat. This holds steady with my theory that the official version of "Milli" would be the intro to the CD, kind of like Tha Mobb was to Tha Carter II. According to Wayne there will be no leaked material on the CD, which is the reason it was pushed back one final time to June 10th. Wayne also confirmed a guest appearance by Jay-Z, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz and Jim Jonsin production, with in house producers such as Deezle and a couple of "suprise" appearances. From past rumors, one can only hope and assume he's talking about Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don.

Everyone is waiting on a classic Weezy, don't let us down now, not after years of brilliant verses and inventive beats.
