Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter V' Receives May Release Date By Kevin Rutherford | February 15, 2014 5:33 PM EST The rapper was present at a Drake concert Friday night to deliver the news Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter V" may have an official release date. At a concert at the House of Blues in New Orleans last night (Feb. 14), Drake brought out the rapper and announced that his hotly-anticipated fifth installment in the "Carter" album series will be out May 5, according to video footage of the show posted by MotaHipHop. Weezy's labelmate made the announcement while onstage at a concert as part of kickoff festivities for the NBA All-Star game that's to be held in New Orleans Sunday night (Feb. 16). The announcement comes just days after the release of the project was revealed to be fairly imminent. In an interview with Canisius College newspaper The Griffin, Young Money VP of promotion Mel Smith said that the label was "very close to dropping the album," though the date was not revealed at that time because the rapper was hoping to "surprise people." Should the release date hold, "Tha Carter V" will come nearly three years after the release of its predecessor, "Tha Carter IV." That album went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, hitting a total of 964,000 copies sold in its first week. The rapper followed the album with last year's "I Am Not a Human Being II," which hit No. 2 with 217,000 first-week copies sold. www.billboard.com/articles/news/5908408/lil-waynes-tha-carter-v-receives-may-release-dateThis should open big. Maybe not as big as the last two installments, but still easily one of the largest openings this year if it drops. Also, Tha Carter V? On 5/ 5? 555?

I'll definitely check this out. He puts out good material from time to time and some of the material on his last installment was quite good.

The lead single should probably be out in like 2 weeks or so. Probably an Urban single and then they will do the pop one in mid/late April

Is he still saying this will be his last album? Or is he doing one more after this?
I'm excited, Tha Carter series has been really good and even the last album had some good material on it. People give him a lot of shit but he's still one of the best in the game when he's actually trying instead of just phoning it in.

I like that track. Apparently it's a leftover, so if that wasn't good enough to make it, that bodes well for what actually made it.
I removed the release date, there still isn't one set, but he may be doing shows for this over Summer, so it's probably dropping sometime then.

It's being marketed as his final solo album so I think it will at least go Platinum.

It could go Platinum or damn near the 1st week out. The Carter series always sales big in-comparison to his side projects like The Rebirth and I Am Not a Human Being. III opened up with over a million first week and IV opened up with 964K.

I'm leaning more towards 750-800K. The buzz for this is strong and the tour is going to give it that added hype.

Is this still coming out next week? There has been absolutely nothing on it as of late. Lil Wayne has yet to promote anything outside of the singles. No track list either.

Maybe they're pushing this back to Black Friday and that's why Nicki's release got pushed back.

I'm surprised there's been almost no word on this recently if it is coming out this year altogether.

I had assumed they must have pushed it back again, because otherwise there surely would have been some talk of him and Taylor going head to head for #1...even if projections indicated he wouldn't beat her this would still be a big release worth noting.
