‘Drake introduced me, it was great,’ Weezy tells MTV News of his 2011 performance. By Rob Markman, with additional reporting by Jim Cantiello Lil Wayne performing at the 2011 VMAs Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage When last year’s Video Music Awards aired, Lil Wayne was in a Rikers Island jail cell serving out an eight-month bid. So when he agreed to participate in this year’s VMAs , he knew it had to be big. Not only did Weezy close out the awards show on Sunday night, he timed his Tha Carter IV for a midnight digital release, so fans could purchase the album shortly after watching him on TV. “This was actually very important to me,” Weezy F. told MTV News correspondent Jim Cantiello after closing the big show. “I’ve actually never had a moment like this.” Kicking off the performance with “How to Love,” Wayne started out subdued. Dressed in a white tee, fedora and black-and-white cheetah-print pants, he crooned the words to the acoustic ballad. But by the end of the first verse, the Young Money CEO went into full-on rock mode, stripping his shirt and tossing his hat as he jammed out to a Black Sabbath-inspired rendition of his street single “John.” Wayne even jumped into the crowd and greeted his friend and collaborator on the song, Rick Ross . After making his way back to the stage, the Rebirth rapper picked up a guitar and began to play a few notes before slamming it to the ground in true rock star fashion. All in all, it seemed to be an enjoyable night for Weezy and his YMCMB family. After Nicki Minaj won Best Hip-Hop Video , Wayne, Birdman, Mack Maine and Tyga happily celebrated in the aisles of the Nokia Theatre. “This is my first time, period, so I’m just ecstatic, I’m amazed,” Wayne said about closing the VMAs. “I already have Moonmen at home, so I was good with that. Nicki Minaj got a Moonman, so that was awesome. I got to perform, Drake introduced me, it was great.” Tell us what you thought of Wayne’s VMA performance in the comments below!

Weezy wrote tracks for the LP before, during and after his 2010 jail bid, Young Money President Mack Maine tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: Clinton Gilders/ FilmMagic It’s finally here, but the road to Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV was no cakewalk. It’s been a long journey, and according to Young Money President Mack Maine, Weezy F. conceptualized C4 in three stages: pre-prison, in-prison and post-prison. “He did the ‘Blunt Blowin’ joint as soon as he got out. He actually wrote that one while he was in Rikers,” Mack Maine told MTV News of the second track on Tha Carter IV. “But he also did ‘So Special’ and he did ‘She Will’ when he came home, which the ladies are gonna love. So that was kinda like the difference.” The first mentions of the LP came nearly three years ago in September 2008 when it was said that Wayne began recording the album . Instead of following up on his Carter series right after the third installment, Weezy switched gears and dropped his We Are Young Money label compilation album in December 2009 and then his rocked-out Rebirth LP and I Am Not a Human being in 2010 while he was serving an eight-month prison bid. Wayne was released in November 2010 , and a month later, he dropped the first official C4 single, “6 Foot 7 Foot,” featuring Cory Gunz. In March came the Rick Ross-assisted street single “John.” After releasing a pair of rap-centric tracks, things got much more rhythmic with the album’s third single, “How to Love,” and “She Will” with Drake. “I don’t think he would’ve did “She Will” or “So Special” right before he went in,” Mack said of two of Tha Carter IV ‘s more female-friendly tracks. “That wasn’t where his mind was at, but all in all, you got some of Wayne before he went in, you actually got some of Wayne while he was in there, and you got some when he came out. So you got three different sides of Wayne.” Related Artists Lil Wayne Mack Maine

‘I was the last voice to be heard on the album,’ Busta Rhymes tells MTV News of Lil Wayne’s latest. By Rob Markman Busta Rhymes Photo: MTV News LOS ANGELES — With all of his versatility, Lil Wayne puts his range on display on Tha Carter IV . Songs like the acoustic-R&B “How to Love” and the John Legend-laced “So Special” show Weezy’s penchant for crafting female-friendly radio hits, while tracks like “6 Foot 7 Foot” and “John” revolve around Tunechi’s rap roots. The album’s “Intro,” “Interlude” and “Outro” also celebrate rapping for rapping’s sake. On the “Intro,” Wayne raps solo over a pounding, bottom-heavy beat supplied by newcomer Willy Will. Halfway through the album, Missouri MC Tech N9ne and Outkast spitter Andre 3000 appear atop the same instrumental on the C4 “Interlude.” Finally, on the LP’s “Outro,” Bun B, Nas, Shyne and Busta Rhymes take their turns over that beat. As standalone cuts, the three tracks feature some pretty aggressive rap bars, but we couldn’t help but notice that if Wayne were to string them together into one track, it might have been one of rap’s most star-studded posse cuts. “I actually close out Tha Carter IV. I’m the last voice you hear on Tha Carter IV, ” Busta Rhymes pointed out to MTV News on the 2011 VMA , black carpet. “It’s special because I didn’t know that’s what [Wayne] was gonna do with it.” With his rapid-fire verse, Busta boasts of his “uncompetewitable” rhyme style before toasting to Weezy by rhyming, “OK, enough of that, now I’m out the door/ Tunechi, thanks for giving us a whole ‘nother classic with Tha Carter IV. ” “When we did the joint, he didn’t really tell us how he was gonna put it together. All I knew was that when it was done, it was me, Bun B, Nas and Shyne, and I was the last voice to be heard on the album, so I feel honored for that,” Busta said. Although he had yet to hear the completed version of C4, Bussa Bus was excited for his friend and frequent collaborator, Wayne. “I didn’t really get to hear it in its entirety yet, but I hope that everybody understands that that man put his foot in this album,” he said. “From what I did hear, being in the studio with him, he goin’ ape sh– on it.” Share your reviews of Tha Carter IV in the comments below!

‘I just want to make this album as incredible as I can,’ Drake tells MTV News of his upcoming LP. By Rob Markman Drake Photo: MTV News Last year Drake had to release his platinum debut while his mentor Lil Wayne was in the midst of an eight-month jail bid. This year, as he gears up to drop his sophomore LP, Take Care, the Toronto MC is looking to Wayne for some firsthand inspiration. “I think for me to be part of a team and have the general, the boss, go sit it down for like eight months is always a difficult thing,” Drake told MTV News at the album release party for Weezy’s Tha Carter IV in Los Angeles on Sunday night. “That’s like a real responsibility. I’m just proud of the fact that myself and Nicki [Minaj] and the entire family were able to keep things afloat until he got out and was able to release this album.” Now that C4 is finally in stores and looks to be successful — Billboard is projecting the album to sell as many as 900,000 copies in its first week — Drake is up next. Drizzy is currently putting the finishing touches on Take Care, and with his October 24 release date fast approaching, Young Angel doesn’t have much time. Watching Weezy’s work ethic gives him plenty of inspiration, even in the YMCMB crew’s most celebratory moments. “It’s like if I choose to go after this and go kick it with a woman or go out for drinks, I know I’m potentially slippin’ because I have brothers like [Rick] Ross and Wayne that are working nonstop,” Drake said of his possible post-party plans. “Me being a kid from Canada coming into this whole thing, being able to observe my heroes do this sh–, it’s like all I want to do is work. I just want to make this album as incredible as I can.” Ross is also getting ready to drop an album — his fifth to be exact. His upcoming God Forgives, I Don’t is due later this year, and he is proud of his friend Wayne, who closed out the 2011 MTV VMAs on Sunday and then dropped his album digitally at midnight to mark the occasion. “He dropped his album at the VMAs like a boss. That’s something an artist can only dream of, when you talk about timing, after doin’ time,” he said before turning his attention back to his work. “So I just think it’s time for us to keep focus, keep grinding. Of course, we’re gonna celebrate tonight, but tomorrow we’re back at it.” Though he’s released a few songs like “Headlines” and “Marvins Room,” it is still too early to try to make any qualitative judgment on Drake’s Take Care, but it sure seems like he’s putting that work in. “I really see the hardest-working people to ever do this. I see them, we speak, we have moments and talk and we’re in the same sessions,” Drizzy said of Wayne and Ross. “So I really sit back and digest it all and try to apply it to my own craft.” Related Artists Drake

Lil Wayne may break sales records with the release of Tha Carter IV , but as MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice can tell you, sales don’t always equate to skills on the mic. While Weezy brings more colorful punchlines than the average rapper, he can drop some lines that leave you scratching your head. Our friends at TheSmokingSection.net have compiled a list of the 15 Most Absurd Lyrics from Tunechi’s latest. Song: “Abortion” Line: “Jumped on the celly, called Makaveli/He say he was gravy, I say I was jelly” Reaction: What else but head to desk? Not only is Tupac still alive, he’s accepting calls from other rappers now? Song: “Megaman” Line: “I’m a diamond in the rough like a baby in the trash” Reaction: You know what you should not compare your style to? Dead babies. Not something anyone wants to think about when analyzing a rapper’s swag level. Song: “Blunt Blowin’” Line: “All about my riches, my name should be Richard…” Reaction: In other words, you’re all about your cheese so we should call you Cheesy Weezy because this punchline wouldn’t even get any “ooh’s” in a kindergarten classroom. But whatever you say, “Richard.” READ THE FULL LIST ON THESMOKINGSECTION.NET BY CLICKING HERE RELATED: Jim Jones Disses Lil Wayne For Wearing Jeggings & Claiming Blood!

‘Wayne dropped his album at the VMAs like a boss,’ Rick Ross says at release party held at Hollywood nightclub. By Alvin Blanco Lil Wayne in “How To Love” Photo: Universal Motown Lil Wayne closed out Sunday’s 2011 MTV VMAs by singing, rapping and rocking, but his night was actually just getting started. Tha Carter IV became available at midnight, and Weezy celebrated the album’s long-awaited release at the Boulevard3 nightclub in Hollywood. A number of Weezy F.’s fellow artists were in the spot to personally give the New Orleans rapper their regards. “Wayne dropped his album at the VMAs like a boss, that’s something an artist can only dream of,” Rick Ross told MTV News. “Wayne is a rock star. He is just mega right now,” added Rocsi Diaz of BET’s 106 & Park. DJ Khaled, who featured Wayne on a pair of songs (“I’m On One,” “Welcome to My Hood”) on his latest album, was also in the house. “I’m happy for him and I’m happy for all his success, and I’m a fan as well,” the Miami DJ/producer said while seated between Rozay and Drake. Even “American Idol” contestant Chris Richardson gave Lil Tunechi props, saying, “All the songs on Wayne’s albums are just intelligent and new and fresh.” Some attendees already were familiar with the music on the just-released Tha Carter IV, which leaked on Thursday. “My favorite song probably is “Blunt Blowin’,” “Abortion” [or] “I’m Good,” YMCMB rapper Tyga said. Cash Money singer/songwriter and producer Kevin Rudolf also professed to listening to plenty of Weezy, as did Young Money president and artist Mack Maine, who added the reasoning by behind his favorite cuts on Tha Carter IV. “I’m a lady’s man so I like ‘She Will’ and I like ‘So Special’ a lot,” said Maine.
