Lil Wayne released his latest studio album, Funeral, on January 31, 2020. His thirteenth studio album, the singer talked about it in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly that was published on the same day as the release day of the album, talking about the number of songs he recorded for the album:
"The last time I looked at…my little list of the songs we recorded, it said 72 files. That lets you know how it works. Mack's ear is to the world. Mine isn't. Mine is to myself and my music, my world."
Lil Wayne continued:
"And so Mack knows what everyone is listening to and likes, so he comes and listens to these songs because he's the one who will let me know like "They gon' love this, they gon' love that." So we hopefully end up with the best songs out of that whole hundred thousand of them I recorded. It's fun."
He later talked about the album's title, elaborating on how he came up with it:
"I thought everyone would understand. I'm noticing that I keep getting asked like "why is this Funeral?" I was like, "Nah, I thought y'all knew my mixtapes, my albums, they all have their little categories. You got the Da Droughts, you got The Prefix, The Suffix, you got Sorry 4 The Wait 1, 2, 3, 4, you got Tha Carter I, II, III, IV, V."
Lil Wayne continued:
"So you have Rebirth, and now you have Funeral. Just plain and simple, nothing else. There's no backstory. Everyone that asks, I'm like "Sorry I don't have some long drawn-out story about the name." It's just Rebirth, Funeral, and maybe the next one would be Reincarnation, I don't know."
Lil Wayne is best known for his Carter series of albums, which started in 2004 with the first album. Carter II was released in 2005, Carter III was released in 2008, and Carter IV was released in 2011. The latest Carter album, Carter V, was released in 2018.
