Intro
Drake
Lil Wayne & Drake, I Love You, Man
Release date: Valentine's Day 2012
Possible single: "Young Angel + Young Lion = 4 Eva"
Likelihood of release: 90%
Complex says: Collaboration albums are all the rage these days—whether it be Jay-Z and Kanye, Eminem and Royce Da 5'9", or Nas and Damian Marley—so it’s only right we get an album out of one of the greatest rap friendships we’ve ever seen. Birdman has confirmed the album is in the works and since Drizzy and Weezy are two of the biggest stars in hip-hop and already have a history of dope collaborations, we’re pretty confident this album is really gonna happen. Watch the bromance!
Carter 5
Lil Wayne, Tha Carter V
Release date: June 10, 2038
Possible single: "Colostomy Bag Boy" f/ Big Twist
Likelihood of release: 80%
Complex says: What’s a Lil Wayne album without a pushback? We’re guessing the final chapter in Wayne’s epic Carter series will be like the new Chinese Democracy or Detox (although we’re sure it’ll still be released before Detox) and it’ll be delayed, prematurely leaked, bogged down by label drama, and whatever other crazy shit Wayne plans on doing for the next few decades. Then—after his age starts to get the best of him—Wayne will finally drop C5 on the 30 year anniversary of Tha Carter III and sell a million CDs mp3s direct downloads to the brain.
Birdman
Birdman & Lil Wayne, Like Father, Like Son 2: Mouth To Mouth
Release date: Father's Day 2012
Possible single: "Baby Money" f/ Letoya Luckett
Likelihood of release: 75%
Complex says: We loved the original Like Father, Like Son which was both a commercial and critical success. So it makes perfect sense for Weezy and Baby to hook up again (no, not in that way) for a sequel which Birdman has already expressed interest in making. Best of all, it’s a perfect opportunity for Wayne and Baby to continue taking shots at Hov and explain exactly how they’re gonna kidnap Beyonce.
T-Wayne
T-Wayne, Auto-Tune Ain’t Dead
Release date: Summer Jam 2013
Possible single: "Troutman Back"
Likelihood of release: 40%
Complex says: Back when Wayne and Pain were both killing the charts (both together and on their own) we really thought this album was going to happen. But then Jay-Z killed auto-tune the auto-tune fad died down and Pain’s career went down the drain. But if anyone can resurrect auto-tune, it’s these two.
Luv Sawngz
Lil Wayne, Luv Sawngz
Release date: Once Weezy finally proposes to Superhead
Possible single: "Sucker For Luv" f/ Nas
Likelihood of release: 30%
Complex says: During his auto-tune obsession of 2008, Weezy talked to Blender about making a solo R&B album called Luv Sawngz. We wouldn’t dare laugh at the idea of Wayne going R&B (like we did when he went rock) because he made “Prostitute,” which was an amazing song. Sure, “How To Love” sucks but Tunechi went and made a Top 5 Billboard hit out of that. Besides, Dwayne seems kinda bored with rap and intent on "retiring" anyhow.
Global Warming
Hot Boys, Global Warming
Release date: Whenever Wayne feels like it
Possible single: "An Inconvenient Truth (We On Fire)" f/ Al Gore
Likelihood of release: 18%
Complex says: After Wayne dropped “I Miss My Dawgs” and all these guys patched things up a few years back, we figured as soon as Turk got out of jail this album would happen. The only thing that concerns us is how the tables have turned: Back in the ‘90s Wayne was the young boy in the crew, but now he’s the biggest star by far so Turk, B.G., and Juve need him way more than he needs them.
As far as the album itself, it would be a return to form for Wayne as goes back to his New Orleans bounce sound and rocks a Pen & Pixel inspired album art. The lead single will feature Al Gore as he attempts to raise awareness about the worldwide leader in carbon gas emissions: The Hot Boys!
Lloyd
Lil Wayne & Lloyd, Long Hair, Don’t Care
Release date: As Soon As Lloyd's Hair Grows Out Again
Possible single: "Like A Nava-Hoe"
Likelihood of release: 7%
Complex says: Years ago—like around the time of his smash “You”—Lloyd was kinda the shit. In fact, at one point we were convinced he was going to sign to YMCMB after he killed the hook on Young Money’s “Bedrock.” But then he had to go cut his luscious locks and get that stupid crop-circle looking fade and ruin everything!
In order to get his career popping again, Lloyd will agree to grow out his hair again and do an album with Weezy F. Baby (the F is for Frizzy). Of course, it’ll take years to grow back all that hair so to speed things up, Lloyd can just get a weave.
I Cant Feel My Face
Lil Wayne & Juelz Santana, I Can’t Feel My Face
Release date: After Juelz kicks his syrup addiction
Possible single: "Kitchen Confidential (Pirex Pirates)" f/ Bruno Mars
Likelihood of release: 0.5%
Complex says: This album seemed destined to happen after both Wayne and Juelz talked openly about the album and did a few of songs together. But then Santana's career was derailed by a combination of drug addiction and label drama. We’re hoping Wayne can inspire Juelz to get his life together and stop sipping lean just like he did and get Juelz back on track. However, that doesn’t mean they’re gonna stop cooking up that crack so it’s back to the kitchen for these two.
