Lil Wayne Plots Performance With Jay-Z, Tour, Hot Boys Reunion

October 24, 2008 10:51 AM ET

Lil Wayne revealed that he and Jay-Z will perform Tha Carter III cut "Mr. Carter" for the first time live at the Power 105.1's Powerhouse concert in New York on October 28th. "I know the 'Mr. Carter' thing is supposed to be a go," Lil Wayne said. "That's the whole reason I think I was doing [the concert]." Weezy was less sure of a "Swagger Like Us" reunion with Jay-Z, Kanye West and T.I., however. Wayne is also planning on peeling himself out of the studio to go on tour. "It will be a big tour, live band," he said. "I'll be playing with them. We're still trying to find people to get on the tour, but it shouldn't be a problem." M.I.A. had planned to join Wayne on tour, but her pregnancy has forced him to find other tourmates. The ever-busy new father is also planning on reuniting with his Hot Boys co-horts, Juvenile and B.G., as the pair joined Wayne in the studio recently.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
