It had a digital release on September 27, 2010〔(I Am Not A Human Being album )〕 and on Compact Disc on October 12, 2010, by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Universal Motown. It was recorded prior to Wayne's eight-month prison term for criminal possession of a weapon. Production for the album was handled by Wayne and several record producers, including Boi-1da, Cool & Dre, StreetRunner, Noah "40" Shebib and DJ Infamous, among others. Upon its release, ''I Am Not a Human Being'' received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who drew comparisons to Wayne's earlier works. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, based on its first-week digital sales alone. Following its physical release, it topped the chart, becoming Lil Wayne's second US number-one album and the first studio album since Tupac Shakur's ''Me Against the World'' in 1995 to reach the top slot on the ''Billboard'' 200 while its artist was jailed. Its lead single "Right Above It" became a top-ten hit in the United States. The album has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. ==Background== On August 4, 2010, ''Billboard'' announced that Lil Wayne would release an EP called ''I Am Not a Human Being'' and would have a single from the EP called "Right Above It". The single debuted on DJ Funkmaster Flex's show, which Lil Wayne called and gave an interview. The album is a prelude to Lil Wayne's album ''Tha Carter IV''. Drake, Jay Sean, Lil Twist, Nicki Minaj, Jae Millz, Tyga, Gudda Gudda, Lil Chuckee and T-Streets are all guests who are featured on the album. ''Vibe'' magazine spoke with DJ Scoob Doo about ''Tha Carter IV'' and ''I Am Not a Human Being''. This is what Scoob Doo had to say: Lil Wayne’s manager Cortez Bryant told SPIN that that ''I Am Not a Human Being'' would actually be a full length album. Initially, the tracks were to be appear on ''Tha Carter IV'', but Wayne decided to put the old tracks on the album so new music could be recorded for ''Tha Carter IV''. He uses no autotune on the album: according to Birdman, it's just "raw rap". The production to bonus track "YM Salute" was originally recorded by Young Jeezy and Ester Dean as potential material for Young Jeezy's forthcoming album ''TM 103''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Am Not a Human Being」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
