Lil Wayne tells XXL he’s no stan of “Anne.”
A couple of weeks ago, Wayne’s collaboration with Swizz Beatz titled “Dear Anne (Stan Part 2)” hit the internet and found the charismatic Miami transplant pledging devotion to his number one fan. And while Weezy says he’s heard accolades from his real life fans as well as his Young Money camp, Lil Tunechi isn’t sold that the song will make the cut for his August 29 release Tha Carter IV.
“That was actually a record for Tha Carter III that just leaked,” Wayne told XXL last week in Miami’s Hit Factory. “It leaked out and everybody’s thinking that it’s going on Tha Carter IV ’cause I was actually gonna put it on Tha Carter IV . But I had been listening to it and didn’t like it. I don’t like it ‘cause the song, all the verses are old. And me being a perfectionist, I hate going with old verses.”
Wayne’s right hand man Mack Maine and manager Cortez Bryant have expressed different sentiments. “Mack and Tez and them, they love it,” he said. “They be like ‘Man, you trippin, you killed it.’ I be like, ‘Did you hear what I just said? I don’t wanna do that anymore.’ But I heard that the ‘Anne’ song has been getting buzzed up and everybody’s buzzin’ about it so it might end up one of those you might have to put on the album, you know what I mean. But I ain’t trippin’ on it like that; I don’t like the song. I love the beat; I love the idea. I don’t like my execution. I don’t like what I did, I don’t like how I delivered on it. The idea that I had for it, I didn’t accomplish that, what I thought I was gonna do. ‘Cause I was tryna make it a situation song. And I just don’t like it.”

It’s a terrible song.
It’s a great song.
Why dont he just rerecord the song if he don’t like his execution. Or put it on at the end as a bonus track.
Anne is a great song “you are the shit damn pardon the gram” vicious
He shouldn’t be a fan of it. He basically bit Eminem’s idea. And although it’s not a remake of Eminem’s song, artistically that’s a no-no. Come up with your own ish. I’ll bet those “We Are The World” dummies aren’t happy with their remake either (what up Clef).
I’m glad to here Wayne isn’t satisfied with the song. It’s not often you hear an artist admitting that they creatively came up short.
not a Lil Wayne fan, but was proud that finally a artist is saying they do not like something they did with another artist. So many artist today are programmed to say they wanna work with this artist or like something….It is ok to not work with someone…….
typical fuckin hip hop media on the internet. its not that he doesnt like the song, he just doesnt like the fact that it has old verses.
No shit he took eminem’s idea its called “stan 2″ dumb fuck. I can see him not liking a song that he did a while ago and not wanting it on a new album, but it’s a sick song. Plus, who cares what’s on the album its already out there anyway
