Putting Kanye To Shame
Filed under: Lil' Wayne
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!

no talent still sells…
Weirrrrrrrrrrddddddddddddddd- 3rd?
He is almost as ugly as Flav but congrats to him!
YAY. That's awesome. Lil Wayneeee is the best. And who cares if he drankkkks it all.

I bought the album and I LUV it!!!
I LOVE THIS CD..IM PROUD OF HIM..AND PINKY TAKE UR OWN ADVICE AND SUCK ONE
The Carter III is a tight album, far better than 50's massacre! Lil Wayne is EASILY the best rapper alive right now……… hands down!! Weezy F Babay!!

[[[[[[ it makez U want to move in the strangezt wayz ]]]]]]]]]]]]]
zzzzzzzzzzzz when u r dancing..fantaztic.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
lil wayne is one of da best rappers out there right now so 4 all those out there hatin…….. fuck ya!
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.
Ewww
that's crap his music looks the same way this gangsta does…
f*cking odd!
I love the album! My bf and I have been jammin to it nonstop! Lil Wayne is the funk, stfu haters!!
perez your stupid. that last album to open up with a million was in the zone by britney, that sold 1 million 500 copies.
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!
What the hell does his shirt mean????????????????????
he looks like a retard, a lizzard. he's so ugly it makes me want to puke.
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…
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.
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….
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.
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?
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.
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….
Its a shame that being that you dont like someone's music u have to come up on here and be a ignorant retart…. I dont need to tell u where u belong you'll be there soon….. WEEZY F BABY please say the baby…… C3 baby…..
I listened to it. Its the usual violent, N word filled misogynist rant. Wake me up when melody positivity and black pride themes come back into HipHop.
It's too bad this cunt overshadowed the brilliance of ALANIS MORISSETTE's FLAVORS OF ENTANGLEMENT.
Congratulations to stupid white kids in the LILLY WHITE SUBURBS making this fucking monkey N!GGER rich. CUNTS!
my husbandddd
dats ma man he spits hot shit all day long
Re: scot – OMG You are DISGUSTING!

Re: Weezy[E]BaBii – ya so r you, u worship a N!GGER who puts silly words together that mean nothing and have no importance, cept kids identify with it casue they are all horny and think its cool to do drugs and it make them dance around like sex deprived monkeys
Re: scot – No way I'm not kinky! You hater!
Re: scot – Too bad Your Dad wasted His sperm on You! Picking on Ladies today? What a Man!!! lol
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 . . .
GOD BLESS LIL WAYNE……BEST RAPPER ALIVE
Re: scot –
LONER…….WHY NOT TRY DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH UR LIFE….A BLACK MAN IS BUSY MAKING MILLIONS AND U HATING……..UR HATING DON'T MEAN JACK…U POOR RAT
Re: scot – Yeah because there arent WHITE artists who sing about SHIT and shouldnt be making Money ?!?!? WOW, u r more stupid than I thought
Re: scot – LoL…Nice how u try to use words like WORSHIP like he is my GOD…He is da best Rapper ALIVE….Didnt say EVER…said ALIVE….&& if I did WORSHIP him thats one NIGG*r I would….I Love Nigg*rs, cuz I am One!!!! GO BARACCCCCK OBAMMMMA!!!!!!!!! hahahaha …Its okay Scot, sooner than later YOURE THE MINORITY
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
Re: Diane – Wow, see a mature comment from someone who doesnt like lil wayne….Much respect to you Diane….
the best rapper alive!
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.
Do his face tattoos represent all the people he's killed? Or years in jail? Or for killing people in jail?
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!!!

How are you black..???
Plus you are an idiot saying he is the best rapper alive..Only little kids say that dumb shit. Anyone who thinks lil wayne is good is either in highschool or a LOSER! which one are you? Im thinking both..haha
-
His record label prob bought 750,000 copies themselves..They are all pretty ignorant.

Re: scot –
FERME DONC TA YEULE ESTI D'CHIEN!
Could he be any uglier?? don't you have better picture of him somewhere Perez? Cuz honestly, I could care less how much money he makes…UGLY!
HE'S THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE!! Haters are nothing but goons and as weezy sez, what's a goon to a goblin!?! LISTEEEENNNNNNNNN he doesnt even write the lyrics down! He's a genius! He made bling bling, drop it like its hot, he is the creator of the term I just straightened the perm and Mrs. Officer he created a new way to say F the Police lol classic so you haters need to clean out your ears_ ya digg
yo git ta num da dis yo noimsaayin noimsaayin!!!!!!!!!!!1
trash…i cant believe people look up to him he is so trashy!
Ugghh! He's the ugliest guy I've ever seen, next to Flavor Flav. Disgusting.
barrrrfffffffffffffff!
Re: jane –
Scott is totally right and you know it, but feel guilty for thinking it so you try to confront him…but you know you think the same thing and you can't deal with it! Burn!!
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!"
Don't listen to Perez, Wayne. Get as much cough syrup as you can from Texas and bring it to Florida cuz the sunshine state is slackin'.
It's like being taxed for being a senseless idiot but you also get a shitty cd full of horrible "music." It saddens me how quickly so many people will gladly pump their brains full of illiterate bullshit.
Re: you a – LoL..How am I black?!?! I dont know BECAUSE MY FATHER IS BLACK…Secondly…Im 24 graduated from college so your second statement is DEBUNKED…&& Thirdly, obviously your the loser with NO LIFE who comes on PEREZ and writes IGNORANT shit just so someone will TALK TO YOU…Im glad I could be that for you today…Toodles!!!!
Congrats Weezy F!!!! The album is fucking hot as hell, & I dont even like rap, but I had to buy it and I love it.
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! i supported!!!!!! my baby daddyyyy haha i love him
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEZY STOMPED ALL OVER THAT COW WHORIAH CELTICS-STYLE!!!!! SOLD MORE IN ONE WEEK THAN SHE DID IN 2 MONTHS!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Re: riz –
STOP LYING. that shit only did like 300k the first week, then FLOPPED soon after.
his albums are the only albums i actually buy anymore its because u can acutally listen to the entire thing
Hell Yes…I knew his album was gonna be big…after all he was voted the number one MC last year for a reason…and all his songs are crazy good/unique. Him and M.I.A. are the new faces of Music or the directions its going to go…4 realzzz!!!
aww, yay !
i'm happy for him
ITS WELL DESERVED TOO……..EVERY SONG IS AMAZING………SO STOP HATING AND BOW DOWN BITCH
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.
These people need to stop talking shit because he must be doing something right if he is selling a million albums!! People need to stop being so negative and enforce the positive. How else will we make this world a better place?!?
Re: scot – SCOTT I HOPE YOUR FAMILY GETS FUCKED BY NIGGAZ U DUMB CRACKA..WEEZYFBABY U FUCKIN WHITE BOY
SUCK ON YUH MOMS CLIT AND TELL HER HUDA GONNA PIMP THA BIITCH..
WEEZYFBABY..THE BEST..AND ALL YOU FUCKIN HATERS DISSIN ON MY BOY CHOKE ON A DICK WITH AIDS ON THE TIP.U FUCKIN HATERS..ALWAYS HATIN CUZ A NIGGA MAKIN GREAT MUSIC AND LIVING HIS LIFE.
FUCK'EM AND DIE SLOW BITCHES..WEEZYFBABY!
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."
He needs to lay off the nose candy….ouch!
Now he's in REHAB! This little man can do no wrong. Ride the wave baby!
re=2399734]Re: Pinky[/re] SUCK REALLY HARD PINKY!
SUCK TIL THE HEAD COMES OFF THE STICK AND CHOKES YOU.
You dont' know the first thing about him or his music…or DO YOU?
Re: FReal – And yet YOU REMAIN IGNORANT
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
1 million SOLD not STOLEN…I guess we "kids" actually support our artists!
Re: Weezy[E]BaBii – SEE…NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN'BOUT! A REAL FAN! Free style for em!
Lonely folks just say shit to have someone to talk to.
