Lil Wayne Gets the Best of Bootleggers

The bootleggers can't stop Lil Wayne. The platinum-selling rapper will release 'The Carter III: The Leak,' including the previously leaked tracks 'I Feel Like Dying' and 'Prostitute Flange,' on December 18.

"I'm a perfectionist," the rapper explained to MTV. "I'mma change a couple verses, couple of lines. I ain't gonna change nothing up where it f---s up the song, I'll just make it more complete. There are songs out there that weren't finished; I'll add hooks, third verses. We're working for the fans."

The song 'Gossip,' previewed at the BET Hip-Hop Awards last week, will be the album's first single.

Meanwhile, the official 'Carter III' album, which will contain all new material, is now scheduled for a February release date.
