Oh wait…
I’d be way more psyched if I’d heard him back up his “best rapper alive” title by being, you know, actually good for more than one verse out of every seven.
Delayed possibly to give girlfriend Trina time to promote her new album?
Or does the album just not live up?
Semi-related, but I’ve been getting tons of spam comments on my blog that reference this album, instead of the normal C1a_l1s
Can we still call the fake Carter cover “art?”
Oddly, the label apparently confirmed that the Sears Portrait Studio cover art was legit yesterday. [popwatch.ew.com]
