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!

    YAY! He really is the greatest rapper alive, the Album's hot. I'm so proud of how well he's done, he deserves all the success he gets.

    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!

    27

    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…

  28. caro says – reply to this


    28

    YAYYYYYYYYYY! haha :] i totally jus went out and bought one jus to support him ;] i knew he could sell over a million.
    the CD is AMAZING, i suggest you all go buy it.

  29. Jen J says – reply to this

    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


    30

    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


    31

    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


    32

    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

  33. caro says – reply to this


    33

    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.

  34. Hater says – reply to this

    C3 is damn hot…..Every song is fire….Congrats baby… I knew ya time would come….. Weezy F baby all day everyday…. I love the creation and the uniqueness of his music and I love him…. Haters stop commenting if you dont like him its a simple as that….

    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.

    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!!!

    This is fake. Like someone else said, his record company is buying up the CDs because then all the sheep will say "What am I missing? Oh my God, everyone else must like him, so I better start liking him too or everyone will notice that I'm different!"

    R u people that naive???? All these rapper's who R doing a million albums the 1rst day, is simply just a case of money laundering…. If lil wayne infact sell's the amounts of drugs he claims to, his organization would have alot of "dirty" money to launder, and what better way than to spend it on your own product, so that the money is cleaned, and also album sales sky rocket!!!

    What stupid drones buy this shit? Hip hop is so dead. Sales will plummett after the first week, thank God. Yet another untalented rapper.

    this guy is a genius. i think they said it best in vibe:

    "who needs sales when you can solidify your status as the best rapper alive by recording and releasing a relentless stream of mixtapes, tour the country performing for sold-out venues to rabid fans who know every word of the even the most obscure tracks, lack of commercial radio or video airplay notwithstanding? hip hop is dead? how can that be true when wayne is reinventing the wheel damn near every time he picks up the mic?"

    you can like the music or not, but if you listen to each song, it's a different flavor. he's trying to step out of the traditional box of hiphop and infuse the industry with some innovation. he used a totally different formula than everyone else to get his shit out there and it's obviously working. this guy is on his grind all day every day, whether it's the constant being in the studio (how else does he release over 100 songs in a year?) or being on stage and performing for his fans. i love his drive, his dedication, his creativity, his commitment to whatever he throws himself into. he's got everyone believing in this hype he created for himself. he set himself up for a million+ album sales. gotta respect that. and…the music is good. i hated the CD at first, but weezy is not supposed to be amazing at a first listen. like he said, "stop it right there rewind it back and listen and you are just another victim."

    Yeah, you're FREAL…REAL F'in STUPID. This word is from YOUR PEOPLE…you know the superior ones?
    The term 'Ghetto' was originally used to refer to the Venetian Ghetto in Venice, Italy where Jews were forced to live. The word "ghetto" actually means "foundry" in Italian, a reference to a foundry located on the same island as the area of Jewish confinement.[2] AND THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED GHETTO. ASS
