Lil Wayne's Carter V didn't drop at midnight and the Twitterverse went berserk, even our userbase won't let go of the incessant narrative (I don't blame 'em). A few hip hop websites sent a mock cover into circulation, then celeb gossip specialist Perez Hilton circulated the same cover piece, the same Perez Hilton who prematurely announced that Carter V would be Weezy's last before retirement, this back in 2014. Who's to say his prediction won't stand the test of time. At this rate,

It goes without saying that a big part of the buzz is based around the repressed status of the album, stemming from Weezy's bust-up with Cash Money founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams, which saw the album sent to a waiting shed next to Tyga's unpublished work. Not to mention, Carter V is part of a historically important series of albums, excluding Carter IV which fell short of expectations. This is how the Internet reacted to the misfire.

Amidst the calamity, Young Money passed by with a troll-like promo, while everyone was losing their sh*t (I might add!).

Thanks to "John Rich" we now have a precise timeline of the Carter V drought.
