hiphop Lil Wayne - Carter III - 9th June - Anticipation Thread

[Guest Teddy Riley]

I'll say ONE thing though...People pay the wrong type of attention to 'bad' music...Lol.Pure salt.

[Aquaman]

stop catching feelings you muppeti knew from day this is the most over hyped album in yearsand the amount of new fans this guy has accumulated over the past 2 years has been astonishingi was gonna say 1.5 first week, but then i kept it safe with T.I.'s numbers (btw if i knew kanye did 900+ in his first week i would of said that, cause i was just going along with the highest 1st week sales in HH recently)and i actually said minimum T.I.P. numbers which was what 750ksonext time believe me wankers

What do u want an accolade for that?The f*ck is wrong with people on ere?

if u'd said it it would prob b in ur sig by now

Its f*ck*ng official, Lil Wayne is the Biggest Rapper Alive

With "Tha Carter III," Lil Wayne becomes the first artist since 50 Cent in 2005 to sell more than 1 million copies of an album in a single week, according to chart reports that will be issued tomorrow morning (June 18) by Nielsen SoundScan.In its first week on the market, "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) sells just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was 50 Cent's "The Massacre" in March 2005.No album in 2006 sold as many as 800,000 copies in a single frame, and the largest sales week since "The Massacre" belonged to Kanye West's "Graduation," which netted an opener of 957,000 copies last year when it hit stores on Sept. 11. Lil Wayne first appeared on The Billboard 200 in 1999. His previous biggest sales week was a 238,000-unit start for "Tha Carter II" in 2005. That set entered The Billboard 200 at No. 2 while becoming his fourth No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

People were telling me this wasnt the most anticipated album since GRODT, yeah? Still wanna say that? Only thing I underestimated was the amount of buyers out there

[Jubez II]

If it didn't get leaked who knows what it would've put up.

[Numero001]

The same. Leaks dont affect sales as greatly as people make out IMO 'cause not everyone knows where to get them from. Plus, in this day and age if you wanna bootleg you'll bootleg, same as if you wanna buy you'll buy

[StreetDreams]

Anyone got the official numbers?Thanking video saying 1.5???

What the f*ck do people see in this baffoon ass dude Wayne. The albums trash. NO WHERE NEAR classic, he don't rap no more, hes raping the sh*t out of that vocoder and half his words make no sense at all. Jay-Z is great at not writing his rhymes but Some muthaf*ckaz need to pick up a pen and paper.I know that possibly a mill of those sales were purchased by YOUNG WOMEN and FOLLOW ass niggaz.How can you put this garbage up there with Illmatic? Ready to Die?, 2 heavily lyrical albums which you can't skip a track.I mean i was coming out the Bodega and Wifey decided to give the album a listen, the first track the beat is nice but soon as Wayne started mumbling sh*t high on Syrup she was like NEXT, next track, NEXT etc. The only track i like on the album is the one with Juelz and Fabolous, and even on that Wayne just does some bio hazard sh*t. Am i missing something? Is this were Hip-Hop is going? Artists like Papoose, Cory Gunz, Grahp have no chance in hell because they actually rap about conscious sh*t.

[Mr. Martinez]

lol @ Artists like PapooseDudes been trash from like 10 mixtapes agoWayne is like The Sun newspapergo figure

[General Mac]

Yeah i acknowledge the fact that Papoose dried up a few mix tapes ago, but that doesn't overthrow the fact that Lil Wayne is the worst thing to happen to hip hop, and nobody is saying anything about it.He said f*ck mixtape DJ's, and about 1 DJ responded, Drama sucked his d*ckJermaine Dupri says the DJ is dead and everybody is on his ass.Like i said, AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE????

[Mr. Martinez]

Well how would you feelif you'd released at most 2 mixtapes this yearyet your average hip-hop listener has around 20 of 'your' mixtapes from within that same time periodthey were milking him dryyyy and biting the tit HARD.

[Creamy]

True stories, I aint copped a CD since MGS4 lol. So basically hip hop as a whole is on the decline and FAST at that matter. So every NEW rapper just go commercial right off the bat, so theres more Soulja Boys on the way yeah?**Goes to put on a Coldplay track**

[General Mac]

I'm no Yank, I'm no Mike Kane.....I'm all Nigga, if you dont know Bodega is a the same sh*t as the off license. Damn vocabulary is weak round these partsohh plus i speak spanish so forgive me if some sh*t comes out a lil different to the norm

[Jubez II]

I'm no Yank, I'm no Mike Kane.....I'm all Nigga, if you dont know Bodega is a the same sh*t as the off license. Damn vocabulary is weak round these partsohh plus i speak spanish so forgive me if some sh*t comes out a lil different to the norm

People don't actually say Bodega in London still, could be seen as asking for change.

London's a place where if your from South and you go East and say one or 2 words niggaz will look at you like WTF?Many terms that each individual hood uses that others may not know, but I'll keep it universal as of now.
