Lil’ Wayne’s Rebirth Accidentally Shipped To 500 Customers

About 500 Lil Wayne fans got a pleasant surprise this week when the rapper’s frequently delayed new album, Rebirth, showed up in their mailboxes. According to Billboard magazine, Amazon.com shipped out several hundred copies of the album this week to fans who had preordered it. Unnamed sources and an e-mail to the magazine from an Amazon customer uncovered the unprecedented snafu. Cash Money boss Bryan “Baby” Williams recently tweeted that Rebirth had been pushed back from December 21 to February 1 — a week before Wayne is scheduled to be sentenced and begin his one-year prison term on a gun charge. But the disc reportedly began showing up in mailboxes on December 14.

I’m sure this will not damage his sales projections, but how does a company like Amazon fuck up like this?

  1. ouch

  2. something tells me that this was done on purpose just to see what those 500 fans think about the album.

    well, there’s a rebirth ep that already leaked anyway

  3. they waited this long let em have it…

  4. Funny how this ended up in ppl’s mailboxes. It did for mines too, but I didn’t order it.

  5. I wonder if they will/can sue? But the real question is why would Universal print 1 million copies off top? Especially so far before the December release date. I mean, he MAY sell all million but why take a chance when u can print as needed? Now if they wanna change up the album they’re screwed wit the original (soon to be bootlegged) copies.

  6. If he was really worried about sales, there is no reason y he couldnt just throw more tracks on it and make a deluxe edition by february….or make a double disc or something. After six push-backs im sure Wayne aint thinking too hard about Rebirth

  7. Im, with you on this one Screwhead,

  29. SO FUCKING LATE ON THIS 2DBZ…. THE WHOLE ALBUM JUST HIT THE INTERNETS! YOU NIGGAS IN THESE COMMENT SECTIONS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THESE BIG AS CORPORATE BLOGS AINT GONNA POST A LEAK TO A FULL ALBUM… THEY GET SUED IN A SECOND. HIT THE SMALLER BLOGS UP MANNNN… THEY GOT IT DAYS AGO AND POSTED IT! CORPORATE HIP HOP AINT A GOOD LOOK.

  30. He deserves a leak…shouldve never got cocky and decided to do a rock album anyway…lesson learned,,stick to rap…your not as good as you think you are Mr. Weezy F Baby

  31. I bet Birdman just tweeted the album push back and didn’t actually tell Amazon or any of the other companies about it. Obviously he cant expect them to follow his fuckin tweets.

  32. biggest fuck up this year since 50′s shit leaked

  33. omfg my ears.. they bleed.

  34. I say Wayne keeps a few tracks…
    Drop the World, Paradise (with someone else on the chorus) that’s probably it, and trash the rest. Then drop another fucking RAP album with other new songs. Maybe this will be a fucking wakeup call that all this rock shit was a stupid idea in the first place.

  35. Same shit happened with Crooked Pigface EP except his shit was digital.

  36. lmao well the smart thing to do would be to push it back up.. shit already leaked.. would fans really buy another different copy just cos amazon fckd up ? thas evil..

    aint even worth download.. eff it

  37. this will definitely affect his sales… since his album just leaked on the internet SMFH

  38. “in search of stoney jackson” leaked

  39. I really doubt this was Amazon’s bad. Knowing Cash Money, they probably forgot to send out the proper paperwork to Amazon, informing them of the latest (of way too many) pushback. Did they even send out a press release, or did Baby just tweet it and assume that everyone follows him on fucking twitter?

  40. Drop the World should drop the Wayne and keep Em’s verse only.

  41. After all this..I think its now obvious Lupe > Wayne

  42. For everyone who says it is “making there ears bleed”:

    How old are you? What are you comparing it to? What where you expecting? You do realize it is not rap, right?

    I can assure you that this album will introduce the Rock/Alternative style of music to many people who have never thought to give it a listen.

    Take it for what it is and be glad someone is trying to broaden your horizons.

  43. Bf you’re pathetic..get off Wayne’s pubic hair…good music is good music,,no matter what genre or skin color…but this right here is pure garbage

    Lupe > Wayne

  44. one way trip is not that bad.

  45. 500 people just got really pissed (except that em jaint, thats the only highlight so far)

  46. they deleted on purpose so he is not gonna make the rebirt bcuz it suck so his gonna say his gonna work on carter 4

  47. off topic: i just realized there are alot of ways to say joint nowadays. interesting. did anyone really expect this album to do well? even with the leak and all that?

  48. Lil Wayne fans got a pleasant surprise

    ROFLMAO

  49. Wayne needs to get a move on with Carter 4 now

  50. we are young money leaked also. downloading it now

  51. I liked 7/12 tracks…

  52. @ Jonnie Hayward The IV

    I can care less about Wayne, I’m just pointing out the obvious.

    And why the hell are you talking about skin color? Apparently it’s important to you!

    What would possess you to even bring that into the equation?!?

  53. @bf
    I only said skin color cuz nowadays ppl assume all black people listen to so called ‘black’ music…nowadays rock and country is considered ‘white people’ music…skin color doesn’t apply in this case with Wayne but STILL music is music…and this is straight up wack-ear-bleeding-vomit-and-diahreea-simultaneously-music…calm down u took my comment way too seriously

  54. got the album n its actually good…in my opinion he pulled it off…prefer a carter 4 though…and wayne gonna b on relapse 2…holla lolz

  55. @ Jonnie Hayward The IV

    I don’t take many things on the net serious, but I do like to understand way people feel a certain way about something they seem so passionate about.

    Like I said I don’t have any stock YM so I don’t care, just wondering why you think this album is “wack-ear-bleeding-vomit-and-diahreea-simultaneously-music”?

    I’ll even go back to my original set of questions:

    How old are you?
    What are you comparing it to?
    What where you expecting?
    You do realize it is not rap, right?

    I’m not trying to flame you, I’m being serious.

  56. this album is terrible!

  57. damn cant believe this leaked so early, it will get rehashed into a bonus version in feb, terrible cd and project get back to rapping!

  58. I am 19…I am comparing it to any other album of this same rock/alternative genre…I expected it to be wack after listening to Prom Queen and noticing he still using that autotune…and hell yea I know its not rap…I listen to a wide variety of music…I can be listening to Nas – Illmatic 1 moment and listen to John Mayer – Continuum the next music…I’m a fan of good music, hip hop just so happens to be my favorite genre…Rebirth is not good music at all no matter what genre you want to label it under

  59. ^ @bf

  60. Bf you’re pathetic..get off Wayne’s pubic hair…good music is good music,,no matter what genre or skin color…but this right here is pure garbage

    Lupe > Wayne

    ———————————————————-

    is it just me or are you telling this guy to get off wayne’s dick … yet you say something about lupe in every single post? shut the fuck up.

  61. I’m going to music hell for listening to this shit hahahaha

  62. okay i know that everyone is saying that the rebirth is terrible, but i beg to differ. i like the concept of the songs and the beats are ill. no reason to shoot it down before taking a listen. its something different from wayne and its good work. and please dont go and call me a nut rider just because im a fan of the album

  63. hahahahah im 1 of the 500 im not givin my shit back!! fuck that!

  64. quit hatin

  65. MY EARS !!!! can any one explain why i THREW up all over my keyboard track 1 ???

    is this music im confused sounds like hes whining and dieing o god please turn back to the elzhi and eminem

  66. Please download the Obie Trice – 2009 – RETAIL – Special Reserve

    this is pure garbage if any one names 1 track they didnt sufocate on i will gladly kill my self

  67. Young Money-We Are Young Money 2009 (RETAIL)

    Young Money-We Are Young Money 2009 (RETAIL)

    Young Money-We Are Young Money 2009 (RETAIL)

    wow wtf happened today

  68. @ Jonnie Hayward The IV

    I can respect that.

    I grew up on rock/alternative like Jimmie, Nirvana, and RHCP. And Hip Hop of course. So it’s just funny when people say something sucks when there is no real standard.

    And the only person I remotely dick ride is Lupe. I’ve bought both his albums three times a pieces and been to several of his concerts. Right now, he is the only artist that I will invest in, at least until he becomes tainted by the spotlight.

  69. Wayne needs to shelve this. I’m just being honest here. Only 6 songs I can fuck with. I would say 7 which is Paradice cause of the beat and 3rd verse which is him rapping, but the other 2 verses with autotune can hardly be made out. I can’t hear a fucking word he said. He’s whining too much making the autotune overlap the words.

  70. ur all 15 yr old TROLLS MUSIC IS MUSIC and a good beat and riff is a good beat

    this is just BAD for the ears and soul ,

    now im gona have these rebirth nightmares
    ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””’

  71. Holly hell wtf did i just open the dope boyz made me download this chicken crap …sorry this is just horrible ?music ?

  72. hey internet,
    im a girl if any one can name one track on this rebirth thats better then Lady Gaga-Paparazzi i will pay pal you ten buxs

    thanks,
    girlie girl

  73. the eminem lil wayne songs is better than lady gagas carrer

  74. young money leaked today too…at least that’s only a week before the actual release though. both albums are up for download at thisisbuckwild.com

  75. hahaha good stuff amazon. mess up his sales…

  76. Wayne is a fraudulent gang-banger and a fraudulent musician.

  77. this album is pure trash aside from a couple tracks. hopfully this will get them to release this as a free lp and work on the next project.

    =/

  78. C section annoying… Lol wateva
    ya sound mad stupid saying .. “Agh I’m vomiting and my ears are bleeding and I’m going to hell”… Mad immature n corny
    fuck it
    I’ll just read posts if I wanna c Lupe dickriding or wat ppl swear ontheir lives is da only good music

  79. dis kid funny^^^

  80. everyone saying that this is gonna mess up weezy’s sales probably hasn’t caught on to the fact that EVERYONE that wayne showed the album to thought it was dreadful, and that this was leaked intentionally so it could be scrapped without embarassment. by the way wasnt there 2 bonus joints in the photo of the guy holding the album? they aint been leaked yet someone do the honours? peace

  81. The real question is why are there even 500 people out there that would be willing to pay for this garbage

  82. thats wut I said this shit was set up if u ask me though also I dont like the album imo theres only 1 good cut and thats “Drop The World Ft. Eminem”

  83. REAL TALK, DON’T DOWNLOAD THE YOUNG MONEY ALBUM NOR PUT IT ON YOUR IPOD… NOT BECAUSE IT’S WACK, BUT BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON MY COMPUTER IS FUCKING UP AND MY IPOD HAS BEEN COMPLETELY WIPED OUT SINCE I’VE DOWNLOADED THIS AND PUT IT ON MY IPOD. NOW I GOTTA TRY TO RECOVER BOTH… AND THAT WAS NOT A JOKE, I’M SERIOUS.

  84. my thoughts on the rebirth can be summed up by this
    http://blowmy900.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/quadfiletofish1.jpg

  85. Wow.. I Still Wanna Hear Though..

    NEW Phitted >>> “Me, Myself & My Mic” http://usershare.net/ojlwdwcstjlq

    PEACE&love..

  86. I am sure there will be a lawsuit on Infant’s side if this album doesn’t sell a million. Don’t doubt Lil Wayne’s shadows to buy this terrible album.

  87. Im taking a week long break to prepare myself mentally, physically, and spiritually for Lupe’s new mixtape…when i get back i will have a BRAND NEW Robbie Maynard diss track…and will have a brand new Lupe movement to add on to the 1 i already started

    bless…Jonnie

  88. REBIRTH = EPIC FAIL…… HORRIBLE… eminem verse on drop the world>>>>>entire album
