Lil Wayne album to be released in February after all
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 8 January 2010
Well, it turns out that when we speculated earlier this week that our previous speculation that the release date of Lil Wayne’s ‘Rebirth’ album had been shifted back to coincide with his upcoming sentencing for those much reported gun charges was wrong, we were wrong. Are you keeping up with this?
The album has been subject to numerous release date changes, and when a December release was cancelled at the last minute last month a February launch was mooted. Which is the month Wayne will be sentenced. But then earlier this week Walmart changed the release date on its etail website to 22 Jun, and the album simply dropped off other online stores. However, the rapper’s publicist has now insisted that they will be attempting to cash in on coverage of Wayne’s prison sentence as originally planned, by releasing the album on 2 Feb. Well, they weren’t quite as explicit as that.
In other ‘Rebirth’ news, Mack Maine, president of Wayne’s label Young Money, has told fans that the final version of the album will not be the same as the one accidentally sent out to customers who had pre-ordered it on Amazon last year. He tweeted: “Leaked 09 ‘Rebirth’ isn’t going to be 2010 ‘Rebirth'”.
