“ switched the hook with the verse, and he added that sample, which caught me off-guard. When Tha Carter V came out, Jayones’ beat was re-worked. “Usually when you send a beat to Wayne, he’ll ask for the track-outs, and the beat will sound completely different from what you sent him,” says Jayones, who produced “Hittas” in the same session as “Gotti,” released by Lil Wayne in 2014. On the chest-thumping “Hittas,” Lil Wayne changed the structure of the beat and inserted a sample of the rapper Boosie. “I see my credit, and everyone’s all excited, and I’m just standing there like, ‘Wait, this isn’t mine!’… drops, and we all went, ‘Ah!'” For “Let It All Work Out,” which closes the album with a frank discussion of the rapper’s childhood suicide attempt, Wayne decided to sew together a pair of instrumentals from different producers - who never worked together - both built around the same sample of Sampha’s “Indecision.” “I didn’t know that the two beats were gonna be combined,” says Myles William, who co-produced the song. Some producers did not play a part in the updating process - Wayne is not shy about adjusting things to meet his specifications, according to those who work with him - so they were surprised to hear their work in new form on Tha Carter V. started off with, ‘let’s change the chords here, add some strings.’ Then it turned into, ‘alright, let’s cut everything to tape and record everything like it’s the 1960s so I can treat it like a sample and re-sample it.'” Once I heard Kendrick’s part, they went so in on it, I couldn’t just leave a four-bar loop for them. “The beat was different, more of a four-bar rap loop. “For the past three years I’ve been chipping away at the song,” says Infamous, who co-produced the track. Take “Mona Lisa,” which features rapping from Kendrick Lamar - still dazzling, even though the song began four years ago. Some of these tracks required intense overhauls. So were “Hittas,” “Famous,” “Mona Lisa” and “Let It All Work Out.” One of his songs, “Open Letter,” was originally intended for the 2014 version of the album. “A lot of times it’s just changing kicks and snares to make sure it’s not 2012, it’s 2018,” says Ben Billions, who co-produced three songs on Tha Carter V.

īy necessity, the lengthy gestation period for this album meant that Wayne and his associates kept having to update old music so that it sounded modern - in hip-hop, fashionable sounds come and go rapidly. He was finally able to release Tha Carter V. The two men settled their differences this summer, and Wayne became the sole owner of his imprint, Young Money.
Wayne tweeted “I am a prisoner and so is my creativity ” Cash Money insisted everything was fine. Tha Carter V was in deep-freeze due to a long-running contractual dispute between Wayne and Bryan “Birdman” Williams, a mentor and co-founder of Cash Money Records, the rapper’s longtime label. The album’s unique combination of fussed-over and tossed-off makes it an anomaly in modern hip-hop, where artists spew albums at a rapid rate - inspired in part, of course, by the success of mid-2000s Lil Wayne, who shot out multiple mixtapes every year - and rarely have time to revisit and reassess a song from five years ago, five months ago or even five minutes ago. Some of these songs were originally cut as far back as 2013, not long after Tha Carter V was first announced, while others were finished as recently as this week. That’s the mishmash nature of Tha Carter V, which encompasses extremes: Extensively tinkered-with oldies that have seen multiple years of revisions sit next to fresh-off-the-press beats that only perked Wayne’s attention during a hectic final month of recording.
