On the 15th anniversary of 'Tha Carter III,' Rapper Lil Wayne says he hardly remembers anything about one of his most critically acclaimed albums.
Even with the above accomplishments in 2008, Wayne said the year didn’t stand out among the rest because he’s working too hard to look up.came out,” he told Rolling Stone. “I work every day, bro — every single day. And also ... I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing s—.”
The memory loss could be chalked up to a massive catalog of songs — and years of nonstop work. The rapper opened up in 2013 about: “The reason being for the seizures is just plain old stress, no rest and overworking myself,” he said. Since “Tha Carter III,” the 40-year-old has released more than 20 albums and mixtapes, and he revealed to the outlet that his computer drive dating back to 2010 contained a number of songs that it “isn’t even possible to even fathom. You probably got a million songs in one year.”
Rather than dwell on the past, Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, has his eye on the future. He’s finalizing his second collaborative album with rapper 2 Chainz, “ColleGrove 2.” And he’s doing more skateboarding. The Times wrote in 2012 about the rapper’s brief break from music to: “I picked up the skateboard and I thought it’d be a hobby and what happened is it’s a lifestyle,” he said at the time.
Wayne wasn’t giving up information on his “Carter VI” album in his recent Rolling Stone profile, but he did tell the outlet he would release a vinyl record for the 15th anniversary of “Carter III” this year.
