We’re beginning to wonder if Lil Wayne’s “Rebirth” is ever going to come out.
“Rebirth,” Lil Wayne’s rock record, which was originally slated to come out last decade (okay, that’s a cheap shot, we admit it) has been delayed for the sixth time or so—although we’re not sure anyone is still counting. Now we’re rooting for it to beat Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy,” which took years to come out.
In December, it was announced that the album wouldn’t make it out by year’s end and would instead by pushed to February. However, Wal-Mart has now switched the release date on its schedule to June, according to www.allhiphop.com. That’s smack dab in the middle of Lil Wayne’s one-year jail sentence for gun possession. He’s slated to start serving his term on Feb. 9. Unless he’s busy shooting videos and doing interviews now, we’re going to go out on a limb and predict that the album will get shuttled again until after he’s released so he can promote it.
UPDATE: Lil Wayne's publicist tells Billboard that the album is still slated for a Feb. 2 release.

Lil Wayne sucks
January 6, 2010 at 1:59PM EST Reply to CommentI was never interested in Lil Wayne to begin with. He's simply the best rapper from the Cash Money group which isn't saying very much at all. I have listened to all the songs that have made him so popular over the last couple years and I still don't see what the big deal is. Way more skilled MCs out there getting way less accolades. He's garbage. Don't drop the soap Wayne!
