Lil Wayne Speaks On, “The Rebirth”
Does the album still lean toward rock?
Yes, the album is still rock. I play guitar on 80% of the songs and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album. But I don’t want people to think I’m trying to do something I can’t do. Don’t think you’re going to put on the album and hear me screaming and singing . . . Don’t worry about that [laughs]. When people hear me say rock, they may get a little scared like, Oh, God. What is he going to do? When I said I was doing a rock album, it was about doing a freedom thing. This album isn’t hip-hop. When I do my Carter albums, I know I’ve got to rap, I know I’ve got to spit, I know the words I’ve got to say and the subjects I’ve got to talk about. I also know the things I shouldn’t say, the things I shouldn’t talk about. There’s none of those limits on this album. I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album. And rock is the avenue that gives you that freedom.
I¹m just having fun, that’s all. Trust me: People will like these songs. It’s my job to make them love them, but I know for a fact they’ll like them.

More rock?
I thought that shit was shut down judging from the lukewarm reaction to “Prom Queen”.
16 “Prom Queens” on an album and he’ll be looking at his worst album ever.

I FUCCIN HATE LIL WAYNE, yet I agree with you on that. Watne is all over the place compared to jay z. Lil wayne is the hottest rapper out right now NOT JAY Z (once agiain let me remind you I can’t stand wayne). If you go to the streets and talk to n*ggaz about rap not once do you hear jay’s name mentioned, he only get promotion in in mainstream media and thas because its paid for (not knockin that,just sayin)
