Lil Wayne will be re-releasing his extremely successful album Carter III.
At this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards, Wayne told MTV that he would putting out Carter III again with fresh new songs.
“I don’t know if we’re gonna release Tha Carter IV now … I think we’re gonna release Tha Carter III — a new Carter III with none of the same songs, though. None of them. Not one! We don’t wanna call the [next album] we got coming out Tha Carter IV. That was the dilemma we were in …”
“… We want Carter IV to be what everybody wants it to be. This is something brand-new, so we don’t want it to be some experimental thing, ’cause some people are not gonna like this. I don’t want them to not like Tha Carter IV. But I do have an album coming soon, very soon, and it’s gonna be called … Tha Carter III: The Rebirth. The birth of a new beginning … I had a song with [Luda] called ‘Eat You Alive’ that was supposed to be on [the first] Tha Carter III. That will be on the new Carter III,”
To date, The Carter III has sold over 2.5 million copies
