Poll Question: Should Wayne Forget About Rebirth?

I had the review schedule all planned out. With the Rebirth and We Are Young Money being a combo set, we would do two separate reviews: I would review We Are Young Money and SBK would review Rebirth (Sidenote: SBK knew nothing of my crazy plan). But I guess SBK can rest easy and not worry about reviewing Lil’ Wayne’s Rock experiment.

If you haven’t heard the news, according to Birdman’s Twitter, Rebirth has once again been pushed back to February 1st (My birthday; make a note of that).

After “On Fire” leaked, I thought the album was finally a go. But I guess the label figured it’s still not Tha Carter 4 ready.

Update: I had to bring this back seeing that Amazon shipped about 500 copies Rebirth anyway.

Update: Now pushed back to Summer 2010.

The geek out of the bunch. He is also Jay-Z’s biggest fan. He looks like your cousin from the burbs. He is “Pro Black” (not anti-white, just “Pro Black”). Probably the wittiest out of the bunch. It is said that he got fired from the same job three times.

  2. Aww damn… you should have seen what my face looked like when I read that B. “SBK can rest easy”, Blee Dat © Birdman. That would have been an interesting review on my part in reviewing ‘Rebirth’. I don’t think I would have had a greater challenge since ‘The Blueprint 3’ or ‘Tha Carter III’ in terms of anticipation. Props to Birdman for the save… Crazy plan! Lol. You might have to get the b’day review if the plans stick with the updated release date B.

    But yeah I think Wayne should really just leave this project alone and shelf it cause honestly I don’t think a lot of people are anticipating it and/or want to hear him to an entire Rock album. Sometimes it’s good to be creative and try new things (read: ‘808s & Heartbreak’, ‘The Love Below’), but in the case of ‘Rebirth’ I don’t think the results would come out as good as the idea. After watching ‘The Carter’ documentary, seeing those “Rebirth Sessions” made me cringe at the idea of the album being released. I don’t know if he’s trying to build off the fame that he saw with Kevin Rudolf’s “Let It Rock”, but if so it’s just not gonna happen. He just needs to concentrate on his next Rap album (‘Tha Carter IV’ or whatever may be) cause that’s gonna be a task in itself to try to come behind the success of ‘Tha Carter III’. I think that album’s success has kind of gone to Wayne head as he think whatever he releases will be accepted by the public and won’t have low sales, but as we can all see with 50 Cent’s latest release numbers don’t always translate well.

    Wayne should take note from the 48 Laws Of Power… “Do not go past the mark you aimed for; In victory, learn when to stop”

  3. I want the album to drop just to hear the track with Em….Even tho his latest singles Da da da and On Fire or whatever theyre called have been ridiculously whack. That We Are Young Money album is a different story however. Wayne, Drake, Tyga, and Nikki Minaj!…..hopefully its at least decent

  4. Here’s a little poem I wrote for wayne:

    Don’t release Rebirth.
    Your fans even hate it
    Go back to beats where you’re actually rapping good.

  6. Im 50/50 bout it.
    Some songs were ok (ie. Hot Revolver & On Fire)

    Then theres songs that just brings to much doubt (ie. Amazing Love & Ground Zero)

    Bring on THA CARTER IV! 🙂
