She talks of how far he has come, how he takes care of his family, particularly his half brother Semaj, her pride in his success, how she has always relied on him and how she “thank the Lord every day for keeping us on this earth/ And in good health…/ But I thank the Lord, because I know you have been through a lot that I don’t even know about.” The first track on the album’s listing is titled ‘I Love You Dwayne.’ It’s a spoken word monologue from Wayne’s own Mother, Jacida Carter. In tackling the issue of his attempted suicide, Weezy decided to open Tha Carter V in the most non-Weezy way imaginable. And so, in Tha Carter V, Weezy drops the trailblazing lunacy of 00’s mixtapes in favour of shedding light on who he is inside, what made him this person and what thoughts run through the darkest recesses of his mind. Wayne used to say that this incident was all an unfortunate accident, until he recently disclosed the true harrowing details to Billboard. At the age of 8, he wrote his first rap, but four years later, Lil Wayne (then Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) took his Mother’s gun, called his Aunt but hung up, put the 9mm to his chest and pulled the trigger.Īn off-duty policeman, Robert Hoobler, saved young Carter’s life by driving him to the hospital that day and the rest is history. The entirety of Lil Wayne almost never happened. As ‘ The World’s Best Rapper‘ ends the long and winding road to Tha Carter V release, a 36 year old Weezy stands in a juxtaposition to I Am Not A Human Beingin his most vulnerable, intimate and human release in his career.
