After months of delays and push backs, Rebirth finally has an official release date via Universal.
“Yes, the album is still rock,” he said. “I play guitar on 80 percent of the songs, and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album. But I don’t want people to think I’m trying to do something I can’t do. Don’t think you’re going to put on the album and hear me screaming and singing. When I said I was doing a rock album, it was about doing a freedom thing,” he continued. “This album isn’t hip-hop. When I do my Carter albums, I know I’ve got to rap, I know I’ve got to spit. I know the words I’ve got to say and the subjects I’ve got to talk about. I also know the things I shouldn’t say, the things I shouldn’t talk about. There’s none of those limits on this album. I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album.”
“I had to add new cuts, because a lot of things leaked, making people think they had an idea of what I was doing with Rebirth and what it would sound like,” he said. “And I hated that, because I never want anybody to think they know what I’m doing until I present it. So what I did was make it totally different. I flipped it.” – MTV
In addition to Drake, members of Fall Out Boy and Lenny Kravitz are also slated to make guest appearances. What are ya’ll thoughts on this project? Is it something you truly think Weezy can pull off?
im expecting pure weakness from this bullshit. it should make a decent coaster tho. im not even a weezy hater btw.
It’s going to be 1000% garbage.
“Is it something you truly think Weezy can pull off?”
No
eh.
I just don’t see it. I mean, Kanye pulled it off, Im listening to 808′s as we speak. or, type. But yeah, It’s going to be juiced on Autotune, lyrics will be average, and A little more than half the album will have songs we will all skip. So yeah, IMO, this wont be a good album. Average at best.
ok so Rebirth will sell alot jus because its wayne but the quality wont be nearly as good as no ceilings imo…..and if it is a double disc with the young money album itll sell more due to the drake factor….jus wanna hear the collab bw drake and wayne and then some nicki minaj and tyga tracks on the young money disc
in all honesty,
weezy sounds terrible with autotune.
some pull it off (Kanye),
but he sounds like hes dyin with it.
i dont think real hiphop heads will be hyped for this.
could b wrong tho…
lmao. he a faggot.a song with fall out boy? lolol
lil wayne is a damn poser…this nigga cant play da goddamn guitar like he is REALLY GOOD AT IT…especially for his supposed 80percent usage of it…dis is finna be pretty weak…i will still give it a listen tho 2 see if it can change my intial expectations…he proved me wrong with no ceilings…so maybe with “the rebirth”……..*takes deep breath*…….naw not with rebirth…
If you took Go DJ, the 5 best songs from both the Carter II and III, and a few original songs from his mixtape output (circa Cannon (remix)/Dedication 2), you’d end up with ONE truly classic album by the dude. The songs from Rebirth that have dropped have all been dog shit. So to re-emphasize my original reply, NO FUCKING WAY is this shit going to be any good.
oh god
*Yawn* do yourself a favor and get Lupe’s mixtape on the 25th of November
No Lie Hot Revolver was ill Prom Queen wasnt bad Spit was good…im looking forward to see if Wayne can pull this off…
I’m going to make sure I’m freshly douched and rockin extra tampons on December 15th!
ew pass
haters
Unlike others, I’m going to wait to I actually HEAR the music from this album before I start forming an opinion on it.
It may be dope. You never know. The problem is, even if it is dope, people will still be stubborn and say it’s wack because they’ve already projected that idea within their minds.
But anywho, I’m certainly looking forward to Lupe Fiasco’s November 25th Mixtape way more than anything Lil Wayne is putting out this year, including “No Celings”. #NoShots.
No Ceilings > Lupes new tape.
And Im a huge fan of both btw.
As for Rebirth, out of all the leaks, they’ve been pretty decent, like a 7/10 from the 12 leaks Ive heard.
Spit
Lookout
Lethal Injection
Fix My Hat
Most Wanted Rockstar
Ground Zero
Ready For The World
Hot Revolver
were all dope tracks IMO. everything else was average or ok, itll sell though. I wont mind it though, I just want C4/D4 to be a progression from the dopeness that was No Ceilings. No Syrup Wayne is the best Wayne.
it’ll work b/c white folks (i.e. teenage girls) love Weezy F.
he could put out some George Michael WAM music and it would still sell
madConsumer .. nice job throwing the white folks in there. he’s talented. go listen to No Ceilings.
idk but some people are hyped over this.
notso much me.
i aint hatin,
im a fan,
but if a wanted rap/rock ide just listen to some linkin park.
he just fucking told yall he flipped it and niggas go right back to thinking its a U2 album or a 808s and heartbreaks.
ill tell you if he can pull it off when i hear what the hell he actually did.
I’ll probably listen to the Drake feature, but that’s about it.
I’m a Weezy fan, but meh, i dunno if he’ll pull it off. I didn’t like the leaks at all, but he said he’s gone and done more stuff and it won’t be that kinda thing throughout, so I’m definitely willing to give it a chance. I’d rather just have Tha Carter IV tbh though…
In a word, yes. Why would you bet against him? I know its cool to dis Wayne as this comment thread proves, but one thing he’s very good at is confounding people’s expectations of him.
Cr!ticalStarr, kanye didn’t pull it off.
@ Jaywall….
How can you say that No Ceilings is better than Lupe’s mixtape that has not even been released yet.. moron. Better yet, how can you say anything Wayne has done is better than Lupe. Even Lupe’s weaker stuff (as he even consideres it) is still way ahead of anyone else, especially Wayne.
it gunna suk
Dedication 2 > Anything Lupe will do/has done.
Dedication 2 is the best mixtape, EVER. period.
It’s wayne, he lves the life of a rockstar, he personifies fame, and this new album will be something to be remembered, people should keep in mind it’s really an eperimental album.
Wayne can pull it. Definitely. As long as he doesn’t use autotune hes all g. And who said kanye pulled it? Cuz 808s was a fail in my eyes. But that is R&B not rock. Weezy can do it and ill be supporting it.
And those who hate on rebirth, i ask you this question. Do you like that swagger jacking Wale?
People like different types of music, and i dont hate on music that isnt my style, but Wale’s album was alright, but you cant deny the fact that for a while, he has been swagger jacking

And dont compare Lupe Fiasco to Lil Wayne. That is the problem with this rap community. So many people like to compare and like to be compared. Dont do that.
Oh wait, now im sounding like Charles Hamilton, and look what happened to him……
You people are so judgmental. Even the famed kid cudi says the the rap community is the most judgmental music community. Cool it
It’s BEEN had a December 15th release for weeks now along with C4 and Young Money on the same day
Jaywall is an idiot to say Dedication 2 is better than anything Lupe has ever done or will do
This LUPE QUOTE OF THE DAY is more clever than anything Little Wayne has EVER thought of:
Im a pimp on par, until i’m six feet under or there’s 3 niggas in a flintstones car
Oh boy, I can’t wait!
Yea.. i’am not going to write off weezy just yet, in a perfect world this will all work and the great artist he is working with will rub off on him…even though Drake is as far from Rock than Dame Dash…But is it me or has this cat been posing hard
He was a Bape head
Gilly the kid flow came out of nowhere
Then he was a skateboarder when he was running with Currensy
now he is into rock and roll…. just saying
am i the only one seeing this?
@ JS
I’m not doubting his lyrical skill his freestyle over Ice Cream Paint Job is illy but lets be honest, demographically speaking, he has targeted suburban youth and if we look at census data my dood, you’ll see that Anglos take up a vast majority of housing within suburbs. Would it be sheer blasphemy if i said Kanye has done the same thing?
Proof that he’s crap.
No Ceilings was dece, but this rock ish isn’t showin any talent
@jaywall you are a fucking lil wanye dickridin idiot you dont know shit about hip hop and should kill youself you ignorant piece of shit and i mean that point at your head and pull the trigger cuz those words should never be mutter EVER by anyone i dont give a fuck how dumb a person is they should never be that dumb fuck that opinion shit if you think that wayne is better than lu you are a fucking idiot and if i could reach throught this screen and punch you i would
PROOF THAT JAYWALL IS AN IDIOT he said:lil wanye no ceilings is better than lu new tape lupe DOESNT have a new tape out you idiot
so now i know that you are an idiot and i can sleep sound tonight
@ken you are an idiot wale aint swagger jacking wanye his style is NONTHING like wayne you are an idiot for thinking so
FUCK YALL
also Jonnie Hayward The IV STOP RIDING LUPE NUTS i wanna punch you myself and this is coming from a lupe fan
wayne cant pull shit. and fuck swagger. yall dudes is gay for liking other mens swagger. fags just like wayne who kisses men on the lips. how da fuk yall still respect a man after that. yall soft. yall need to hear that fuck the radio song on that “slowburn mixtape” maybe yall would wake up. here go the link: http://usershare.net/glp1or68lhqy
LOL@ Simon trying to advertise his weak ass music…
Anyway… I’ma stay optimistic. “No Ceiling” was really dope and if Wayne can avoid the auto-tune, I think this’ll be good. The leaked songs weren’t bad at all so I dunno why people are doubting this already, but to each their own.
Comparing Lupe and Wayne is this stupidest thing ever. That’s like comparing Big Daddy Kane and Coldplay or something. Whoever even brought Lupe up in this topic is a dumbass.
Lupe>>>>Wayne. Fahrenheit 1/15 pt.VI, November 25th. Lupe’s metaphors are wayyyy deeper and more thoughtful. Cant even compare the two b/c Wayne cant do a freestyle w/out talking about pussy, probably the most un-thoughtful topic in hip hop, while ive never heard Lupe even use that word
This will probably not be any good, honestly.
Good thing there’s that Ghostface x Method x Raekwon album coming out the 22nd of December to make up for it.
Lasean, tell em why you mad! Wayne hurt your feelings when you wanted an autograph??
No Ceilings was dope, and I think itll be better than Lupes new tape, just by the leaks Ive heard of lupes freestyles. And Im a lupe fan, so this isnt some dickriding contest.
This is the COMPLETE opposite of No Ceilings, Rebirth will make a couple of you hate this man even more, but its a musical adventure hes taking, and if you want real rapping Wayne, wait for C4/D4.
You can compare rappers. It’s called lyrics. Some aren’t comparable because of content but if you’re comparing lyrics and quality…Lupe all day.
Good move Dwayne, guess you found out that everyone who heared the leaked shit wont buy buy rebirth so you promise that it wont sound alythinig like that. I still think it will be garbage, waste of money, probably waste of MBs for the DL but I’m still curious.

The rebirth will be fockin nice.
I know a few songs such as spit, da da da, on fire, prom queen. Have always been crazy for his music and am quite sure that the Rebirth would be sick! Just like all its previous albums.
WEEZY TILL I DIE!
The album is bomb kay? I listen to it ALL the tyme. He still got a timeless flow on this shit. He talk real shit on it with Paradice and Drop The World. Dnt tlk about it if you havent even listend to it.
Say wht you want but IDGAF. weezy can do no wrong on what ever he chooses to do on a album.
