The title, ColleGrove, represents Atlanta’s College Park and New Orleans’ Hollygrove, where each rapper was raised. (Well, if you ask the label, it’s a 2 Chainz album that features Lil Wayne on a bunch of songs, not a "Lil Wayne" album, the kind of legal loophole that uses the logic of a third grader, somewhere between ridiculous and genius.) For once, the promise of a collaboration album with Wayne was kept. But to my surprise, that’s not what happened.
With Tha Carter V in the courtroom, Cash Money isn’t letting their imprisoned songbird sing for anyone but them. Awaiting the inevitable label interference that would push the project back into Neveruary 32nd. A few years ago, when 2 Chainz hinted that he and Weezy would be doing a project together, it was easy to imagine the album would sit on the shelf between Detox and I Can’t Feel My Face. It happened with Juelz it happened with T-Pain it happened with Drake it’s a surprise that Wayne and Birdman actually put out a joint album. When Wayne finds chemistry with another rapper, it usually leads to a massive amount of music and occasionally the promise of an album.
Features were done in bulk, he has more artists signed to him than the New Orleans Saints have players, and rappers orbit him like the Earth does the sun. Relationships have always been a big part of Wayne's success. He came into the rap game in a group and never lost his willingness to collaborate.
