Despite a minor setback, Lil Wayne will pull double duty and release two albums in 2009.
Not even the No. 1 selling artist of 2008 can withstand the inevitable album pushback. Lil Wayne’s first rock album Rebirth is now on the map for May. It had previously been scheduled for an April 7 release.
Inside sources also tell Rap-Up.com that the follow-up to 2008′s best-selling album Tha Carter III, Tha Carter IV, will arrive just before the holidays in December, making for a nice Christmas gift for fans and Universal Motown.
The New Orleans rapper will shoot the video for his first single “Prom Queen” today and tomorrow in Los Angeles. The song is currently No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Weezy is really disappointing me lately. I wasn’t wowed by the carter 3 and he has changed himself a lot to make the media happy. I have liked him since he was a hot boy. Im happy he made it big but dude needs to stay true to himself. I love him and I always will but I hope he comes out with some real weezy stuff. This prom queen song suuucks

Lil Wayne really shouldn’t rush these albums. I am also not feeling “Prom Queen” AT ALL. I’m actually shocked that it’s doing as well as it is.

its gona b an experimental album but i think it will all work out for him . its gd tht hes tryin sumthin new and tryin to evolve as an artist, he is indeed the best lyricst hands down , so weell see wht he could do wiht rock and autotune. i dont think hell have the same success like carter 3 but he will definitely get recogntion and success. carter 3 was just awesome !! 4 hits singles all top 15, 4 grammys, sold a milli in first week, best sellin album of 08, 8 chartered songs, thats pretty hard to beat !! even by himself

also forgot to mention , ” prom queen ” is a pretty gd start, its not a “wow” song but has great beat and a nice story line to it. it will defintiely b a gd way to promote rebirth

Lil Wayne is a joke not just his new stuff, all of it he has no flow. If you want PROPER rap then listen to Tupac, old Eminem, DMX, Jedi Mind Tricks, Or Canibus! Fuck, Canibus is EASILY the illest MC around. Check him out!
