Lil' Wayne is staying on top

“You can love me or hate me, I swear it won’t make me or break me I go wherever the money takes me.” That was one of Lil’ Wayne’s hit songs from The Leak-EP. The album came out late in December, and was a promotional sampler album for his upcoming, highly anticipated album: Tha Carter III.

“I love that song,” said junior Alexander Fernandez. “The beat is just so awesome, and I love jammin’ to it. I see the song going along way and Tha Carter III should be awesome.”

This new album was named the most highly anticipated album of the year last year, but it was pushed back for numerous reasons. One reason being that most of the tracks were already leaked, and secondly Lil’ Wayne was arrested and accused of drug charges. So Lil’ Wayne had to re-write and re-record new songs for the album.

Lil’ Wayne has recently hit everyone with numerous amounts of mixtapes over the past two years, so this LP is something that his newly acquired fans have been waiting for.

Over the years Lil’ Wayne has built a huge fan base among young adults.

“I love Lil’ Wayne so much,” said junior Ronny Kitmetou, one of the biggest Lil’ Wayne fans of AHS. “He is such an inspiration to me. I have almost every single one of his songs and mix tapes, and I cannot wait for his new album to come out, I’ll be the first one to get it! If you play one of his songs I’ll definitely know and I most likely can sing to it.”  

Lil’ Wayne’s future continues to blossom and with Tha Carter III hitting stores this April his potential for success is exponential. According to MTV.com a few of the songs that are confirmed on this Album are “A Millie,” “I’m Ilie,” “Let the Build Beat,” and “Eat You Alive”.

Some of the artists that will work on this album are Static, Timbaland, Eminem, and Kanye West. Lil’ Wayne has made many popular songs working with other rap artists, and hopefully these artists can do the same for him. This is probably the only album of the year that is a must have, there is so much speculation on it, and many are saying it should be the best.
