As I’m sure most folks guessed when the tracklist surfaced yesterday that I Am Not a Human Being was no longer an EP. Anyways, what’s more interesting is that most of the tracks that will be included were originally cut for Tha Carter IV. SPIN caught up with Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant to speak on the future of his music. Stating that Wayne has resorted back to writing down his lyrics (since stopping in 2002-2003) and that he believes he’ll release another mixtape before starting from scratch with The Carter IV.
While I’m not too excited for I Am Not a Human Being (as SPIN says it features “heavily auto-tuned vocals”); the possibility of Tha Carter IV being dope has increased with the info shared above.
i have faith

So the EP/LP is nothing but studio scraps from over a year ago? Sounds pretty lame.

Best rapper alive this nigga gets hated on for no reason
He’s just as good as em to me…… fuck that he’s better and y’all know that.
The first three Eminem albums were em’s best he’s been wack ever since then but he just has alot of idol worshiping ass stans on his side that make him seem better than he he’s
DallasTx_Greedy said this on September 17th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
If it’s mostly aut-tune then fuck it I won’t give it a spin. I hate autotune when overdone, but hate it more when Wayne does it even more because he makes something bad even worse
who cares said this on September 17th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
lil wayne is bar for bar the best rapper living or dead yeah i said and what?

@DallasTX_Greedy “The first three Eminem albums were em’s best he’s been wack ever since then…” So? None of Lil Wayne’s albums are classics. Anything before Tha Carter II is trash. I want people to start judging Lil Wayne as a whole, not just on one or two albums. “Heavily auto-tuned vocals” GTFO of here. The “best rapper alive” wouldn’t do that. Wake up people!

The only people who genuinely think Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive are 21 & under and misguided in life.

Blu + Jay Electronica + J. Cole + Elzhi + Fashawn + Nas + Jay-Z > Eminem and Wayne. Just saying.
kadillak said this on September 17th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Bro…stop givin my city a bad name lol. Wayne is a damn good rapper, but he damn sure aint the best rapper alive. He made his legend on mixtapes and four pretty cool albums. Lets not be a stan

Naw Eminem stans are ridiculous, they think they know Marshall on a personal level..but saying Wayne is the best rapper alive and the best bar for bar is even more ridiculous..the fool rambles too much and has too much filler in his verses to be considered a lyricist

YURP said this on September 18th, 2010 at 12:05 am
Correct me if I’m wrong, but is there any truth to this rumor, I heard Lil’ Wayne didn’t used to write his lyrics back in the day.

@LAKlockwork
he wrote pre-carter 2 i’m pretty sure. at least that’s what i remember hearing from ‘the carter’ that documentary on him
Higgs said this on September 18th, 2010 at 1:23 am
carter 1 and carter 2 were dope.. had nothing to do with whether he was writing or not. *shrug. had more to do with him being sober, and not in a permanent lean. and no ceilings was fucking dope too.. so who knows what it is that makes wayne put out dope shit or horrible shit.

Ok lets start off with Eminem
1.Only 1 good album
2.If it wasnt for dr.dre em wouldnt be a rapper he would be some scrub still.
3.His new album isnt good its garbage…Talk about a fool thats never done half the shit his songs is about.
4.Eminem is soon to be the next Vanilla Ice…
As for Lil wayne
1.Hes part of rap history for all you young ones..(Hotboyz)
2.He was wack b4 the charter 2?Bich stop playing…If anything He was better b4 then…
3.Hes just doing what sells Shit
4.Hes actually done the shit he states in his songs…
All in all Eminem is a bich who needs no more regonition for his music.And Lil wayne needs to do music his way an not whats trendy that year…
And beside…We cant really judge any artist cuz for 1 None of us make the money they do.

To Breeze;
If it wasn’t for birdman, you could replace everything you have just wrote down about Lil Wayne..
You are all talking about stans, but basically you’re all just Anne’s when Lil Wayne’s track comes out. That’s right, Lil Wayne is copying eminem with Stan, but this time with a swizz beatz beat on a track called Anne. So go whine.
