Lil Wayne – How To Love

Thu, May 26, 2011 by Danny M

Lil Wayne How To Love

Check out the third single from Lil Wayne‘s upcoming Tha Carter IV album, dropping on August 29th. The track, which is titled “How To Love“, is totally different from “6 Foot, 7 Foot” and “John“, as Weezy has gone for a slower record with him singing throughout it. You can purchase the Detail-produced song below, courtesy of KC!

Download via iTunes :!:

Do you think this single will get as big as “Lollipop” :?:

    All yall need 2learn HOW TO LOVE!! Lol stop talkin shit this song is amazing!

  5. On May 27, 2011 at 6:06 am weezyF responded with...

    The song isn’t bad but this is supposed to be a RAP album. The album is supposed to tell a story and he goes from “I get pussy, mouth, ass, call that bitch triple threat” to “how to love”. It makes no sense and it’s disappointing… I’m not hating on the song but you can’t put hardcore rap bangers out about f***in pussy and then put out this singing stuff about love. I wanted a “pop” single but I was hoping for more of a hustler musik type song…

    This song is different no doubt but its amazing he’s a music artist and he’s very diverse so he’s doing what he wants and nonmatter what he does it’s amazing and this song is definitely amazing the beat the lyrics everything I love this song and peole are gonna hate because it’s lil Wayne singing so of course this would be an easy song to hate on but it’s so good and shout out to the real fans that follow Wayne no matter what!!!! I love this song and so do thousands of other people it just really grows on you because you feel the passion in the song. C4!!!!

    BILLBOARD CHART CRASHER!

  8. On May 27, 2011 at 6:10 am -_- responded with...

    …

    Yall out yall fukin minds if you think c4 gon do a mil in the first week now. I like the beat on this song, but it ain’t no damn lollipop. Wasn’t that the most downloaded song at the time or somethin?! Idk, but this shit ain’t even in the same LEAGUE as that.

    What the fuck was wayne thinking when he did this?! I ain’t even gon knock the nigga singing, because I WISH I sounded this good hittin a vocal. Fuck around and send somebody to ICU listenin to my singing xD

    Idk, maybe I need to listen to this shit high. I had to do that with john before I liked it….but this ain’t the ‘banger’ I was expecting. I see people in here talkin about this wasn’t supposed to be a banger like his other singles- uh, BULLSHIT NIGGA. EVEN LOLLIPOP WAS A BANGER.

    THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BANGER. Whether it’s rap, pop, country, I don’t give a damn. This ain’t no fuckin banger, so how does weezy expect this to do?! I don’t see this gettin #1 on the charts like lollipop I’m sorry. It’s something different, and I respect wayne for doin him, but I feel like there were a ton of better ways to make a ‘lollipop 2′.

    This nigga didn’t even make that, I half expected taylor swift to do a verse halfway through this shit.

  9. On May 27, 2011 at 6:22 am psssh responded with...

    sounds like something Drake would come out with – but whatever, i love everythin weeeeezzzyyyy!

  10. On May 27, 2011 at 6:45 am D Turner responded with...

    I love this song, the guy is so creative you have to respect that. and all you guys just wanna hear hard rap go look else where bc wayne is music, consisting of every genre so i ride with him on everything he do lets go c4!!!

  11. On May 27, 2011 at 6:53 am Shaheema responded with...

    Fantastic! he is so diverse and this shows that he can do rap, hip hop, rock AND slow jamz. Multi-talented. It will not be as big as lollipop – nothing can beat that! but this still has a lot going for it!

  12. On May 27, 2011 at 6:54 am devintune responded with...

    this nigga is takin us on a rollercoaster ride……..first 6’7 n john now this……but he is smart……first 2 singles wre catered to his hardcore rap fans so as not to disappoint them…..and to ensure c4 is a hit with every1 he releases this single…..to get his album noticed with other people who r nt big fans of weezy…..i like =D

  13. On May 27, 2011 at 8:15 am Michael (Eazy-M) responded with...

    Wow nice slow song, had me think about the Bow Chicka Wow remix because I think it was a similair tempo. Which is great just like this awesome promo :)

  14. On May 27, 2011 at 8:18 am austria responded with...

    I didnt liked one song from lil wayne since he came out from jail. His whole style cant be compared to his past styles. He was so much better back then

  15. On May 27, 2011 at 8:49 am msmm responded with...

    we all expect hard rapping, but when he comes up with this type of songs it makes you think and appreciate him even more, he knows what hes doing,

    go weezy go!!

  17. On May 27, 2011 at 9:16 am yeh? responded with...

    Fuck I love this song. First time I heard it i was like, yeh it’s nice whatever. But it grows on you like cancer. I’ve noticed wayne’s songs tend to do that

    @Jason, you have to listen to the final version on itunes. The vocals sound more clear on that one.

    Also the song has gotten really popular already.

    Anybody that is hating on this song must be completely out of their minds. Yes this song is not RAP, but it sure as hell is different. This is an amazing song and to hear Weezy singing it was mindblowing.
