If you’re a longtime fan of Lil Wayne, then you’re used to the feeling of pre-release anxiety. Wayne has shared a quick clip of an intro song, and it appears to be Wayne operating in portentous, dramatic epic-rap mode, which is not usually Wayne at his best. Wayne hasn’t yet shared any of those songs from Funeral, so there’s at least a vague possibility that he’s made a full-album cover version of Arcade Fire’s debut album. You can buy Funeral on vinyl or CD or cassette! You can buy it with a shirt or a beanie or a pack of stickers! (Some of those shirts are pretty good, at least if you’re OK with wearing metalcore-ass Olde English fonts.) UPDATE: And as The Commenter Formerly Known As Amir points out, if you turn the cover upside-down it reads Lil Wayne. It’s coming out 1/31 - a week from today - and there’s already a digital preorder page up with all sorts of merch bundles. On Twitter and Instagram last night, Wayne announced the existence of a new LP called Funeral. Artistically, Tha Carter V was bumpy and inconsistent but still a whole lot better than many of us feared. After years of bitter words and legal battles with his longtime label Cash Money Records, Wayne became a free agent and put out the album that his label had shelved back in 2012. Back in 2018, Lil Wayne finally accomplished something that had seemed impossible: He released Tha Carter V.
