As Lil Wayne prepares to release his highly anticipated Carter IV album in August the rapid-fire flow MC is taking it back to his roots to warm up the streets. In the new edition of XXL magazine with Weezy on the front cover, amongst the many topics that include Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake the 'Nawlins native also spoke on the status of his upcoming mixtape.

"The mixtape is called Sorry for the Wait, and it's because [manager Cortez Bryant] pushed the album back so, sorry for the wait," Weezy told Shaheem Reid in outtakes from an interview for XXL's July/August issue.

 

Back in 2009 Tunechi put the rap game in a choke following the release of his No Ceilings mixtape. The seventeen track street album saw the MC in rare form chewing his fellow rap peers' various singles to bits while spawning a few hit songs that he would take on the road and perform (Swag Surfin' "). According to Wayne, his next mixtape effort will follow the same blueprint.

 

"Yeah, it's gonna be just like No Ceilings, taking the f--- over a n---a's beat. You know what it is, killin' n---as sh--," he said. "Make a n---a pissed, mad as a mother----er he ain't call me to get on that mother----er originally. Like, 'F---, if I'd have took this n---a call this n---a's song wouldn't be hotter than mine!"

 

In the issue Wayne also elaborated on a now throw away track that was originally suppose to be featured on the Carter IV. "That was actually a record for Tha Carter III that just leaked," Wayne told the magazine. "It leaked out, and everybody's thinking that it's going on Tha Carter IV 'cause I was actually gonna put it on Tha Carter IV. But I had been listening to it and didn't like it. I don't like it 'cause the song, all the verses are old. And me being a perfectionist, I hate going with old verses."
