Lil Wayne Tha Carter V

Lil Wayne claims this is the final chapter in The Carter series. And he's also mentioned that this is his final solo album ever, unless someone forks up "$25-35 million".

So why not just retitle "I Am Not A Human Being II" to fit the mood? "Because I know y'all want me around for a little bit, and Carter V is my last album," Weezy revealed. "Man, I've been rappin' since I was 8 years old. I'm 30 now, man. That's a long time, man."

Weezy put out his first solo album, Tha Block Is Hot, in 1999, but before that, he was cutting his teeth on Cash Money Records as part of the groups Hot Boys and the B.G.'z. If you go on to count his nine solo LPs, four Hot Boys albums, 2006 tag-team album with Birdman (Like Father, Like Son), his 2009 YMCMB compilation (We Are Young Money) and the dizzying number of mixtapes he has dropped, it becomes easier to understand how Wayne may be all rapped out.

"I signed my contract at 11, I went platinum at 14. I'm 30 now. Thank God I haven't put out an album that hasn't went platinum," he said. "To just keep it goin' like that, I think not only am I being greedy, I'm fooling myself to think that it will continue to be that great."

On February 14, 2014 Drake, during a show in New Orleans, brought out Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. Drake then revealed that Lil Wayne's next LP "Tha Carter V" release date is May 5th, 2014. Tez pushed it back. No release date yet

Lil Wayne has since confirmed that "Tha Carter V" will no longer be his final album. He now is planning on releasing another LP titled "Da Other Album". C5 is set for an August-September release, while DOA is set for an October-November release. Lil Wayne also stated that he plans to release up to 7 albums in the year 2015, already having 93 finished album-ready songs.

The lead single "Believe Me", it can be viewed below and it includes a feature from Drake.

Along with the announcement of the new release date (December 9th) Lil Wayne has announced that "Tha Carter V" will be a Double Album. You can view the track list below, which contains 31 songs total. 15 on the first disc, 16 on the second. Featured artists include: Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Nicki Minaj, B.o.B, Justin Bieber, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Christina Milian, Reginae Carter, Young Jeezy, Young Thug, The Lox, Mikky Ekko, Gudda Gudda and Flow.

Lil Wayne says it's not his fault, but the album is being pushed back due to his contract with Cash Money. He's putting the blame on Birdman and says he wants off the label.

Birdman claimed that the album will come out in 2017, “You will get it this year. Me and Wayne will be aight. I’ma make that work. That’s my son and I love him, and we’ll make it happen.” However, on April 29, on Wayne's Closer 2 U Tour, Wayne went to say, "C5 coming soon. F*ck Cash Money. It's the Roc." Does this mean Jay-Z picked up the album and we'll get to see a release this year? Only time will tell.

Infamous businessman and investor, Martin Shkreli posted a video of an alleged track from The Carter V featuring Kendrick Lamar. Shkreli claims that Kendrick is the highlight of the album. While we have no official confirmation on whether the track is authentic or not, the song does sound suspiciously similar to Lil Wayne and Kendrick
