We already gave you a pretty nice rundown of the new Lil Wayne disc last week, but we thought it would be nice to throw even more Weezy into that lukewarm cup of Monday morning coffee for you. Spin.com previewed the forthcoming effort with Weezy’s manager, Cortez Bryant, and the results aren’t too surprising. For starters, Bryant opened up the whole EP vs. LP debate by saying that I Am Not A Human Being actually has enough material — aka 12 songs — to be considered a full length. He also said that while many of the songs on Human Being – which were cut before Weezy checked into Rikers Island for a nine month sentence – were already approved for Tha Carter IV, they’re being released on the LP because he “[knew] once he got out, those songs would be so old to him.”

While new tracks from Lil Wayne are always a good thing, the bad news is that with so much Carter IV material on Human Being, the release date for what the highly-anticipated follow up to Tha Carter III has been pushed back until at least next year. The album was actually set to hit streets at the time of Weezy’s release, but Bryant said the 27-year-old-rapper will probably drop a mixtape before heading into the studio and starting from scratch to create Tha Carter IV.

Still, don’t expect a Cudi-esque delay. Lil Wayne does have an unearthly addiction to recording music, and he could probably pump out an album a month if he wanted to.  “I know how he records,” said Bryant, “he’s in the studio every single day, that’s his life.”

You can check out Spin’s full take on four of the 12 track here. They compared the synthy, Nicki Minaj featuring, “What’s Wrong With Them”, with his 2008 hit, “Lollipop”, and said that “With You” finds Weezy rapping the line, “Tall glass of merlot get her in the mode/two glasses of merlot get her out her robe.” Pre-orders for Human Being have the wrong drop date listed but are already going on at various online retailers.
