Lil wayne carter 5 long sleeve7/12/2023 ![]() Tha Carter V was in deep-freeze due to a long-running contractual dispute between Wayne and Bryan “Birdman” Williams, a mentor and co-founder of Cash Money Records, the rapper’s longtime label. The album’s unique combination of fussed-over and tossed-off makes it an anomaly in modern hip-hop, where artists spew albums at a rapid rate - inspired in part, of course, by the success of mid-2000s Lil Wayne, who shot out multiple mixtapes every year - and rarely have time to revisit and reassess a song from five years ago, five months ago or even five minutes ago. Some of these songs were originally cut as far back as 2013, not long after Tha Carter V was first announced, while others were finished as recently as this week. That’s the mishmash nature of Tha Carter V, which encompasses extremes: Extensively tinkered-with oldies that have seen multiple years of revisions sit next to fresh-off-the-press beats that only perked Wayne’s attention during a hectic final month of recording.
