Originally planned to drop on May 16th, Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant delayed the album ‘till August 29th- a day after the MTV Video Music Awards.

Once Thank Me Later hit stores on June 25th, 2010, all was forgiven- as Drake debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. In order for Drake to put finishing touches on the album, YMCMB delayed the release a few weeks. Those plans didn’t work out, and as a result, Rebirth was later released on its own on February 2nd, 2010.įollowing his Grammy-nominated So Far Gone EP, much hype had surrounded the release of Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later. Rebirth was originally rumored to be packaged as a double-disc with Young Money’s We Are Young Money compilation. According to MTV, Wayne needed more time to record the album due to his extremely busy schedule. Weezy’s first and only rock album was delayed nearly a year. When C3 finally dropped in June of 2008, the reception was incredible- selling over 1,000,000 copies in its first week. To capitalize, Lil Wayne released The Leak, a 5-track EP composed of songs from Tha Carter III recording sessions.

Fan-favorite tracks like “I Feel Like Dying” and “Prostitute Flange” were leaked onto the internet prior to Tha Carter III’s release date. If not for various leaks, Tha Carter III would have been out a lot sooner.
