Lil Wayne's Carter V didn't drop at midnight and the Twitterverse went berserk, even our userbase won't let go of the incessant narrative (I don't blame 'em). A few hip hop websites sent a mock cover into circulation, then celeb gossip specialist Perez Hilton circulated the same cover piece, the same Perez Hilton who prematurely announced that Carter V would be Weezy's last before retirement, this back in 2014.

It goes without saying that a big part of the buzz is based around the repressed status of the album, stemming from Weezy's bust-up with Cash Money founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams, which saw the album sent to a waiting shed next to Tyga's unpublished work.

Don't get gassed over nothing.
