Tha Carter III….
By now you must’ve heard of the leak of Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne’s album that was released today (10th of June). This was in response to Lil Wayne “dissing” mixtape DJ’s, something he later clarified through a radio-station interview. The DJ responsible for the leak of his latest album was DJ Drama. Dwayne Michael Carter had said, “F#*k you if you’re a mixtape DJ.” That comment sparked an immediate outrage in the mixtape community, and the leak made Lil Wayne songs readily available on the internet. Peer-to-peer users must have been elated to have his album at their fingertips for free.
The leak seemed to have little effect on the rap superstar, saying, “With my fan base, I know — whether it’s downloaded, leaked or not — I know when I step onstage, I’m going to get the same reaction that I always get.”
