According to the very reliable Cash Money Records Senior Vice President of Promotion, Mel Smith, Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album has been pushed forward a week from August 29th to August 22nd. I suppose this is a little bit better, but I do think Tune needs to drop the “How To Love” music video and give us some more details on his Sorry For The Wait mixtape.

After the jump, Weezy F Baby tells XXL that he is not a fan of his “Anne” record and that it was originally meant to appear on Tha Carter III.

Here’s a new track from Lil Wayne titled “Dear Anne (Stan Part 2)“, which was inspired by Eminem’s classic record, “Stan“. Weezy’s version is about sending Anne a letter and she is somehow connected to Stan. This will not be on Tha Carter IV dropping on August 29th, and you can listen to the Swizz Beatz produced song below.

XXL Magazine recently spoke to the Young Money President Mack Maine about Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album. Mack says C4 is nearly finished, Weezy worked with someone on the album he has never worked with before, they just finished shooting the “6 Foot, 7 Foot” music video which took 4 days, producers Detail and Swizz Beatz will be on the album, and more. I’m guessing the Swizz Beatz record will be the “Anne” one he spoke about a while back. You can read the interview below:

“I was in the studio all night workin’ on this Carter IV,” the Young Money President told XXL. “We pretty much finished, to be honest; we probably need about two more songs. We got David Banner coming in tonight, so hopefully he’ll come with somethin’. We try to make sure—he kind of makes every album. He made Tha Carter III, and made We Are Young Money.”

As for features on the disc, aside from Nicki and Drake, Mack remained tight lipped, though he did hint at a surprise. “I’m gonna keep the features a surprise,” he said, before revealing that Weezy “just did something with somebody he never worked with, though.”

“Off my album, there was a lot of controversy over this before. The Eminem album, Relapse, I submitted a beat to him called ‘Stan 2.’ When I was doing an interview and they said, ‘What you working on?’ Em was amongst the people in the lineup I submitted things for. I said, ‘I did a track for Eminem called “Stan 2.” ‘ So it got out of hand in the media. He didn’t want to do ‘Stan 2.’ But what I have on my album is a song called ‘Anne’ with Wayne, which is crazy. To connect the story of what we saying with Snoop, taking something that people remember and putting them in that time and taking it to the next level, the way that Wayne tells Anne he’s sorry what happened to Stan. The album is crazy.” – MTV

So we can be looking forward to a Swizz Beatz and Lil Wayne collabo titled “Anne” coming soon ❗
