Lil’ Wayne to Drop Rock Album

Posted by Bossip Staff

Yep, y’all, word is that Lil’ Weezy is gonna be coming out with a rock album, as if we hadn’t had enough of him:

Canadian rapper Drake recently revealed that Lil Wayne is working on an upcoming rock album, and he’ll be on it.

In an interview with MusicMusic.com, the rapper — who hails from Toronto — said that he’ll be featured on Weezy’s upcoming rock music project.

“Wayne’s coming out with a new album, it’s a rock album,” he said. “A complete rock album. I have a song on there.”

Drake compared Weezy’s attempt at rock to Kanye West’s attempts at singing on his latest album 808s and Heartbreak, saying it will throw “individuals off.”

We suppose we are the wrong website to be posing this question, but here goes nothing: who’s checking for Weezy’s rock album??

    Weezy sells albums like no other because he has a huge fan base; and they support him. His last album sold 1 million in the first opening week right?? Wrong??? I dunno; but I do know that it sold a million in a short period of time.

  21. P.dro*Only built for cuban linx*

    @ Mandah

    thanks for the heads up on Drake , im out b

  22. sniper

    If you listen to his latest tracks – He doesn’t actually rap anymore…he “semi-sings”. So I’m not too surprised. I just hope he doesn’t mess it up by using too much Auto-Tune on the Rock Album

  23. BossLa

    Lol, dude is right, this gonna throw people off alright.

    I’m all for artists branching out with style…cool
    but what about showing the public that you’re actually growing the ***** up.
    Branch out in content too…it does work if you don’t box yourself in to begin with.

  24. PURPPLE

    WHY WHY WHY

  25. BE

    I don’t know if i will buy the tape, I’d have to hear a song or too….however i am in the minority he has a lot of fans so the may want to hear something different. I hope he sings better than Kanye


  26. weezy is still cool even with all that autotune
    (i wish noone showed him that)
    listen to that new YES with pharrell
    yeah ill check it out


  27. Got dammit Weezy…that’s my area…*****ody wants to hear U “rock-out”…have Unot learn anything from Kanye singing…ok…do your thing, but I will continue not to buy your albums

  28. kai

    o god!! he needs to cut it out. just because he can barely strum a chord on a guitar, doesn’t make him a rockstar!


  29. I buy the rap but this is a definite limewire joint for me…Wayne is sick on the mic. Listening to Walk In from the carter 1 r.a.t now

  30. Crazy ***** Rodney

    TOP THIRTY you heavy metal HEadZ

  31. PhillyGrownWoman

    he looks like 1 of those dirty, tattoo’ed, drug-addict rockers….ewwwwwwwwww

    FREE BEANIE SIGEL….i need some real music to listen to. where the hell is beans, is he still in jail???

  32. nv

    jjj / Proud Jamaican
    , Uhm, NO white person is buying this *****. White people like rock, and it’s not as if white people don’t have taste -_- this album is going to be bull*****.

  33. zappy

    It will do well. If Pink, yes that Pink can be doing rock music, why can’t Little Wayne?

    On thing Barack’s rise to the presidency should teach us Blacks, is that we are capable of doing anything we want, as long as we set our minds to it and stay focused.

  34. Dizzy McElroy

    @ jjj / Proud Jamaican

    You don’t know what you’re talking about.

  35. Marshabio

    Coon……..

    Kid’s, don’t try this at home.

  36. Fake*****HungryHo's

    Rock does not equate to white. Black folk invented rock and damn for sure laid the foundation for much of American music, so if Weezy wanna explore that, then who are we to judge- not to say that isht will be hot(not sure, yet)… Black folks need to stop forgetting our contributions to America, thus the world.


  37. Yeah cuz its a big market for “Blood Gang Rockstars” *Rolls eyes*….SWOOOOP NOT!!


  38. hes crossing over because he’s trying to make more money,he’s trying to reach a different,audience,that’s the same thing Beyonce is trying to do ,I can tell,because the music on her album is so different,compared to her other album.

  39. GQ (Mrs. PW)

    oh god..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    someone has been gasing his head…and it needs to STOP!!

  40. Darkesthourgl*****

    @Fake*****HungryHo’s

    You are so right on. That’s our music, too. I like old school rock and new wave from the 80s and 90s and I know I won’t be checking for this Lil Wayne album. Now it just seems like he’s trying too hard. I bought Santogold’s album a while back, a black female stepping outside the box. You’re better off checking out her music than this Lil Wayne crap.

  41. Candid Canuck

    well if he raps over some rock beats i would cop, but if he doin that slare ***** then hell naw

  42. "not i" said the cat

    might give it a listen

  43. Darkesthourgl*****

    @Candid Canuck

    Do you mean Slayer? I don’t he has it in him to go there. We’ll see.

  44. Jazz

    dude Drake is crazy.. he has a new mix tape coming out called ‘So Far Gone’. he’s signed to interscope and is about to be the next big thing for real

  45. hautecocoa

    drake is hot. that’ll probably be the best song on the album.

  46. Jen

    Wooooo! Toronto represent!! lol

    All black people here like rock as well as pop, dance, hip hop… we’re just more open-minded than the Americans are.

  47. THE DEVIL

    I agree with Fake*****HungryHo’s name and *****essment.

    Music is personal and some of us don’t like the same things period. Kanye isn’t a singer does that mean he shouldn’t try to pull the wool over some of your eyes? Does that mean he shouldn’t experiment with something he knows he isn’t good at? Of course it does, but he’s rich and famous which means he could do what some of you talentless gimps only dream of.

    I love M*****ive Attack and Air…I especially love that emaciated Amy Winehouse when she’s all doped up slurring her lyrics I feel like I’ve done my job.

  48. me

    the only american rock i like is white stripes, kings of leon and the raconteurs. Everything else good is from the UK to b honest. *****ody will care for his rock album in england.

  49. icelandicgurl21

    Hmmm…I don’t know bout all that !
    I just ain’t feelin Wayne as much as i did before.

  50. MeMe_Slim

    Terrible idea.


  51. crack baby!!

  52. ArmyWife

    *Silly me* I thought y’all was saying he was “smoking” rocks!

  53. Jim

    Yeah, rock out! Rap is for homos!

  54. Raquel26

    Not I said the fly.

  55. Jaye

    So everybody on this board is psychic now. The ish hasn’t even dropped and y’all just KNOW it’s going to be wack. It might be wack, it might be the hottest ish you’ve ever heard, or it might be somewhere in the middle. *****ODY will know until it drops.

  56. Carla

    Why is this surprising ?

  57. Anissa

    Know our history black people! We have been rockin’ out for ages.

    Chuck Berry, James Brown, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Vernon Reid, Ike Turner, Richard Berry, Wilson Pickett, Bo Diddly, Buddy Miles, WAR, George Clinton, Lenny Kravitz, Michelle N’DegeOcello, Lenny Kravitz, Bad Brains, Fishbone, Defunkt, Grace Jones, Betty Davis.

    It did not start and end with Jimi Hendrix

    Besides… It’s 2009 folks. Don’t you think it’s about time to expand your musical horizons?
