Wayne might possibly be his own biggest critic, especially when it comes to his pride and joy, his music. Sometime last week, another track of Wayne’s entitled ‘Dear Anne’ accidentally found it’s onto the net and while it led people to think that this was a new track to be featured on the fourth installment of ‘Tha Carter’ series, according to Wayne, that is certainly not the case. The Swizz Beatz produced record was done in inspiration of Eminem’s Stan and was based around the same idea.
Wayne recently spoke with XXL Magazine as he obviously landed the front cover for the month of July. During the interview, the Young Money mogul spoke on tracks for upcoming ‘Tha Carter IV’ and why ‘Dear Anne’ wasn’t going to make the cut.
These were his comments:
“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.”
However, despite the fact that Wayne isn’t too fond of it, many of the heads inside his Young Money camp thinks that it should appear on ‘Tha Carter IV:’
“Mack and Tez and them, they love it,” Wayne said, referring to Young Money president/artist Mack Maine and his manager Cortez Bryant, respectively. “They be like, ‘Man, you trippin’, you killed it.’ I be like, ‘Did you hear what I just said? I don’t wanna do that anymore.’ But I heard that the ‘Anne’ song has been getting buzzed up and everybody’s buzzin’ about it, so it might end up one of those you might have to put on the album, you know what I mean. But I ain’t trippin’ on it like that; I don’t like the song. I love the beat; I love the idea. I don’t like my execution. I don’t like what I did. I don’t like how I delivered on it. The idea that I had for it, I didn’t accomplish that, what I thought I was gonna do. ‘Cause I was tryna make it a situation song. And I just don’t like it.”
At press time, ‘Tha Carter IV’ has been pushed up a week to August 22nd, while at the same time this issue of XXL hits newsstands on July 12.
