Putting Kanye To Shame

Filed under: Lil' Wayne

wenn18059621.jpg

We told you guys that Lil' Wayne's new album was supposed to do well out the gates.

Well, it's done EVEN BETTER than expected!

The numbers are in and …..

The rapper's Tha Carter III sold just over one million copies its debut week, easily making it the #1 album in America.

In this day and age, NO ONE sells that much anymore.

The last album to open at a million plus was three years ago, with 50 Cent's The Massacre.

So congratulations to Lil Wayne.

Don't blow all your money on cough syrup!

    Sizzurp is a Texas thing, not New Orleans. Get your shit straight. Lil Wayne's music isn't chopped and screwed like the stuff that sizzurp sippers make.

    Pupils dialated, HUGE red areas in nasal area, euphoric expression on face…hmmm, nevermind the cough syrup. I'd say someone looks like they have already spent some money on some black tar balls, and placed it up his trunk. But hey, enjoy. You're worth it, you're RICH sucka!

    At least he is better looking than Kanye. KANYE is fuggie fug in the muggie mug. His chin is as big as Potato Heads or Jay Leno's.
    Lil'Wayne's Album IS WAY BETTER than Kanye's. I Just hope he does'nt blow it and invest his money for when he ain't on top…

    Lil Wayne has been my boy for years, glad he's finally getting some recog. But, does he have like false teeth or something? They look weird….

  30. FReal says – reply to this

    I call bullshit on this! He's terrible, and I don't know anyone who likes him or would buy that shit. The only way to explain it would be that most of the people who would like him/it are too poor/stupid to have a computer to download one or two songs so they have to go out and buy the whole CD like in the olden days. That's why they call it the ghetto, kids.

  31. Erica says – reply to this

    I think people bought this because they wanted to have all of The Carter albums, just like everyone went out and bought jay-z's blueprint albums. Even though they weren't that great. I must admit that I bought Lollipop on iTunes.

    That shirt Lil' Wayne is wearing is great! I want it! Anyone know where to get it?

  32. scot says – reply to this

    lil wayne is a greasy N!GGER. all he raps about is sex and drugs. yes we know N!GGERS like to fuck and get high ok we get it

    Re: FReal – thats THE stupidest thing i have ever heard. i bet your white..o.O. but nonetheless, no. people bought the album because he has GOOD music, if you LISTENED to his rhymes, i can assure you, you'd be impressed. im not saying the over played songs he has, but his mixtape ones, its like poetry, it really is. people want to SUPPORT him, because he truly is talented. the only reason i went out and bought one was because i wanted him to sell tons of albums, and obviously cuz i knew the CD would be AMAZING.

    Lil Wayne pisses me off. My mom paid him some money to do a concert a couple of years ago and then Katrina hit and destroyed south Louisiana. He never gave my mom back her money and never played even when she tried to find another venue for him to use. He's so freaking heartless….my mom didn't have a whole lot of money to lose.

  55. 55

    Why? I don't hate the guy, but I miss pop music :/ Or at least just some variety . . .

    DeWanye Carter does have true talent, although I can tell the heavy influence of hard core drugs in his music. I bought it and I support artists ( bought Kanye 2), As for the comments about greasy n*****s, in America the beautiful, its perfectly ok to sing about sex, drugs, & rocknroll. Whites can talk about destroying property (country music), numerous rock/punk songs are about casual sex (& pop), also there are many with much anti-gov sentiment, which is free speech, correct? At least he hasnt had his kid taken away!!! Sorry, did I go too far.

    He's a junkie, sooner than later he will look like Courtney Love lol
    I'm guessing nobody is supporting her nasty A**

    Re: Weezy[E]BaBii FYI –&& my WHITE ARTISTS comment was sarcastic…meaning There are just as many WHITE artists as BLACK that sing about shit that has no importance

    Dear white suburban kids of America,
    Please, stop buying this over-processed, studio BS top-40 "rap". You are the people who made Soulja boy famous. That should be enough for you to look elsewhere for music.

    1 millions copies?!?!?!?!

    THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!!!

    I don't care if he's taleneted or not, NO ONE IS BUYING PHYSICAL CD's!

    Record distributors tell stores what amount of CD's to take according to what is going to be a "hot" seller but since downloading is the rage and there is NOT a offical way to track sales of downloading, WHY WOULD ANY RECORD STORE, WHICH ARE CLOSING AT A FAST PACE, BUY CD's THAT WOULD NOT SELL OUT IN THEIR STORES!!!

    Once again the media is fooling you to think that this artist is "HOT" whan it's "NOT"

    He may have sold 250,000……1 MILLION???!?!?!? PLEASE!!!
