Wayne's mother sets the tone with a spoken intro that verges on eulogistic, and through her tears somehow leaves the impression that even she is ever so slightly exasperated about the setbacks and protracted delays that plagued the fifth Carter after her son publicized its imminence in 2012.
Claiming supremacy while considering mortality has long been as natural as walking while chewing gum for Dwayne Carter, but there's a greater, grimmer sense across the long-anticipated Carter V that life is just a moment.
Well, I would like for you to know that since y’all stuck with me and hung in there anyway for like the past four, five years, through all of this - y’all got me feeling like Tiger Woods with this comeback - but on my birthday, I actually have something special: I will be releasing Tha Carter V."Still the motherfuckin' best rapper a-live," Lil Wayne offhandedly declares on "Dope New Gospel," a coasting track on which the unmistakable MC also insists that he's irreplaceable, even in death. “I heard y’all got a little mixed up and y’all thought it was going to be released like last week or something. Wayne announced the album’s official release date through a video on YouTube. “I heard there was a misunderstanding about the release date of Tha CV,” he said. It was later revealed that Wayne never had intentions of releasing on the 21st, and that he wanted Tha Carter V to come out on his birthday, which is the 27th. It was initially believed that the album would come out on Friday, September 21 of this year, but the date came and went without any new music.
Originally set for release in 2014, the album was pushed back indefinitely, and teased at various points over the past few years. Tha Carter V has undergone one of the longest rollouts in history.
