Lil Wayne vs. Cash Money: 15 Fiery Lyrics From 'Sorry 4 the Wait 2'
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V—reportedly his final album—has been delayed nearly nine months since its original May 5, 2014 release date. Some heated, bleak Weezy tweets in December pinned the never-ending lag on Cash Money Records, Wayne's home for nearly 20 years. Cash Money co-CEO and cofounder Bryan "Birdman" Williams was also ID'd in Wayne's tweets—extra uncomfortable when you consider the fact that Birdman's played father figure to Wayne since the kid was 13, even costarring with Tunechi on the two-album Like Father Like Son series.
Enter Sorry 4 the Wait 2, a brand new 17-song, 70-minute holdover mixtape packed with all the Lil Wayne staples. (The first Sorry 4 the Wait dropped in 2011, when Tha Carter IV was delayed multiple times.) You've got guest stars like Drake, 2 Chainz, and Christina Milian. You've got a buffet of blindingly explicit sex-raps. You've got Weezy going in on beats like Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love," Rae Sremmurd's "No Type," Future's "Sh!t," and OG Maco's piano banger "U Guessed It."
But most striking are the jabs, uppercuts, and vicious haymakers Weezy throws at Cash Money Records. Soooo many of them, especially on the Sorry 4 the Wait 2 opener "Coco." (Originally by O.T. Genasis.) And now (sorry for the wait), here come the 15 most ferocious lyrics about Wayne's newfound distaste for his longtime label. (Also: it sounds like Weezy will keep his Young Money imprint running, with or without Cash Money. So Drake and Nicki Minaj have nothing to worry about. Probably.)
