Because You’ve Always Dreamed of Rivers Cuomo on Sizzurp, Lil Wayne Guests on New Weezer Album

Topping off the unlikely combination of Weezer and R&B producer Jermaine Dupri is the news that Lil Wayne also lends a few rhymes on the upcoming Weezer album, Raditude. The track in question is titled “Can't Stop Partying,” though Cuomo sounds unsure as to how much of a party mood Weezy was in:

...we got Lil Wayne to come in and do a rap on it... Any other rapper would've just done, 'Yay, we're partying! Let's drink and have fun,' but he gave it the edge I was looking for. You can hear in his voice, it sounds so dark, like he was gonna get shot or something when he walks out of the studio. So I was real happy that everyone involved got what we were going for.

Yeah! The fear of getting popped when you exit the building! Paaaarrrrrtttyyyy! (What!?) Obviously, Weezer are going in a new direction with this album, which includes tracks like “The Girl Got Hot” (co-written with additional producer Butch Walker) and “I'm Your Daddy.” Original album title "Bring It" was changed to the current name at the insistence of Rainn Wilson, better known as Dwight Schrute from TV's The Office. This is so ironic my skinny jeans just turned into JNCOs. Hey, at least it's a step up for Weezy... the last rock band he worked with was Fall Out Boy.

Raditude is due November 3 on Geffen, with tons of deluxe edition and iTunes bonus tracks waiting to be snatched up by your grubby little paws. I know you want that cover medley of MGMT's “Kids” and Lady Gaga's “Poker Face.” Somewhere, Girl Talk is feeling vaguely disturbed.
