Weezy is prepping the Carter IV for a May 16th release…and he wants to make sure other rappers throw in the towel after this one drops. While talking to Rolling Stone magazine (who he allowed a special preview of the track “Wayne’s World” off the project), he said, ““There’s a lot of rapping on this. I want other rappers to hear it and say, ‘I quit. I better start making club songs.’” Pretty high expectations but after all…is IS Wayne. Rolling Stone calls the track, “three machine-gunning minutes of adenoidal wordplay topped with a triumphant hook.” Damn! Can’t wait to hear this one.
