FIRST!!! Yea he’ll get to 3 eventually…no time soon though

wow… in this climate of music sales.. that’s incredible…

Congrats to Wayne. His album is solid though. Much better than Nas’ or anyone else that has released a record, so far this year.

while everybody’s talkin about music sells being low wayne has proved if he can do it u can! i remember back then in hotboys ppl thought bg or juve woulda been the biggest i never pictured lil wayne being this big to be honest i thought tha carter 3 wouldnt sell alot because he was on so many mixtapes so i figured bout tyme his album drop the world wud be tired of em cuz they heard him so fuckin much but he proved us all wrong!

GOTTA GIVE IT TO LIL WAYNE IF U LIKE HIM OR NOT MAKING THAT MANY SALES IN 5 WEEKS IS UN HEARD OF … BUT REALTALK SMH YALL ASKING US WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT ALBUM SALES BUT YALL THE 1ST TO SAY LOOK LOOK WAYNE 2X PLAT IN 5 WEEKS LOL

Go get’em Wayne keep proven them wrong….

I for one dont like his music, but I do respect those sort of numbers.

Rastaman must be caked out

#2

are u serious?

better than Nas’s album?

oh i get it you on oof those faggots that only listen to shit with a good beat so you can dance in the club with your faggot “swag” right?

Album of the year, thus far.

Big up to Lil wayne for doing something big for hip hop…BUT FUCK REALTALK FOR BEING A HATER ON THE UNIT…..fuck you you dirty ass motherfucker!!!!….

congrants!

GReatness Get REsults

congrats but i still dont know one person who bought this esp after downloading and listening to it.

Hard work pays off. I said between 2.5 and 3 mill in just about every post asking questions about his potential sales. No reason for me to back away from that now.

Yeah he will probably go 3 but yo..
Real Talk That Album wasn’t all that…
It’s OK.. Average.. No way near a Classic

Am I the only one that thinks this album is below average?……guess standards are just dropping…
Untitled>Nastradamus>C3

didnt realtalk just have a post asking why people care so much about record sales? i honestly dont think we should measure how good an artist is on how many records he sells…to me nas album, lyrics and legacy is better than lil waynes but that nigga strugglin to go gold. niggas like lupe and cassidy too…im not hating on wayne either thats just my opinion…i think he was better when he was spittin on the dedication

The problem with music sales is that its not that rappers can’t sell. Its the rappers that really deserve to sell don’t sell. I mean album sales are only that. Plenty of people buy the album and wish they didn’t. So its deepr than sales. The only rapper that has sold what they should have sold in recent memory was Kanye West. Lil Wayne is overrated and moreso overhyped.

BYRDGANG AND WAYNE DROPPED THEIR ALBUM THA SAME TIME DO ANYONE GOT THA STATES ON HOW MUCH BYRDGANG SOLD I APPREICATE IT, I BET THEY WENT DOUBLE PLASTIC AKA ONLY 2 PERSONS BOUGHT IT LOL

tha carter 1 and carter 2 werebetter. that was classic weezy, dont get me wrong tho this albums nice too. for sure the album of the year so far. his hard work paid off. hes doin big things. hip hop is the most popular genre of music right now and lil wayne is king

and wasnt there just an article about how sales dont matter smh these writers are more bi polar than game

LIL wayne had a cool lil album. but better than NAS are you niggaz fucking restarted or what. There can not be that much ignorance in the world. Somebody save me from the planet of the apes fagats dressed in bape n apes.

Americaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wake up

Congrats to Wayne on doing it big with his album. I for one don’t think his album was below average as some people are stating. The only thing is, some of the songs I heard on the album came out like 2 or 3 years ago lol. So I was kinda expecting some new shit but never the less, it was a good overall album. Still think the first 2 Carters were better but you be stupid not to include this as one of the greats. Not classic so don’t get it twisted.

@ 12, I know a lot of people who bought this album.

The hipocratic nature of the game is this. People with no content or anything fruitful to say at all get put on pedestals. The ARTIST that spit from the heart mind and soul. get over looked cause they are a special few. If you are looking to get in this game cause you love music don’t. Get into it if all you care about is money and image.

18..

When Y’all Gone Get The Unit Dicks Out Yo Mouth..

Wayne Is The New Kang Now..Good Album..Props To Wayne..
He Been Grinding Hard..

RealTalkNy..
Now You May Suck Him Off..nh
SMH..Y’all Worst Than A Stan..

Nas is the only one getting my hard earned dollar inthis tough economy for his work cause he took the time to make an album for me . Not get high and throw some ish together but sat down and thought up something. Lets not forget its the THOUGHT that counts people.

Nas’ piece of shit album.. are you kidding me?.. fuck outta here…

so ur sAYin wayne doesnt spit from the heart mind and soul??? thats crazy. all u need to do to know he spits from the heart and soul is really peep his delivery. his delivery is flawless and u cant really tell the emotion that he puts into every word. thats whysongs like shoot me down are so sonically solid. cuz wayne has that sound where you can tell hes spitting from the heart. what are u saying? and wen ur tryna say he doesnt spit from his mind ur wrong again. u gotta realize this mothafucka weezy has been famous since he was 13. all he knows is the glitz glamour of the rap game and the problems within the rap game. as well as problems back home in new orleans. and thats wat he spits about.

and ur tryna say wayne dont love music? then why is he in the studio everyday gettin it

If the product is good, people will buy. Plus, he’s marketed himself on this album to be universal. More on this later
http://www.hiptics.com

REAL TALK!! HE HAS THE WHOLE GAY COMMUNITY BEHIND HIM YOU KNOW HOW THEY ALL STICK TOGETHER!!!! WEEZY FUCKIN BABY!! LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLLOLOOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOOOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLO

the problem wit hip-hop is niggas dont wanna buy shit…yall complain that hip hop is dead but dont wanna buy a good artist album when it come out.music is still a business so logically labels sit good artists albums like say peedi cracks album cause its not gon sell and yall rather buy rick ross album…dont get me wrong i like rick ross but im sure peedi crack would have put out a better work of an album.buy some shit and the supply will change with the demand…

I don’t think this album is that great. He does not tell one solid story aside from licking the rappers lollipop (tasteless). I guess people like to support drug addicts because they are the underdog. Bloggers and posters praised this man and he sold albums that are sub-par at best. Oh and add on that his label purchased at least 700,000 off the top. Hype and propaganda always win. Look how many millions 50 sold because he was shot nine times and a couple of years later people realize he is not as hot as the bullets penetrating his body nine times. Druggies always seem more artistic to people so they are placed on a pedestal because they dug in their soul to create (whatthefuckever). I don’t buy drug addicts music (he is high on every song). But, someone who is sober gets clowned for not being down. Most people question rap and the lyrics and state that hip-hop is dead because of the bullshit that black people like or that industry pushes down their face. Rap is over because Lil Wayne killed it. They push this drug addict down your face to influence children (maybe one day your children). Hey Wayne drinks syrup (New Crack) so why can’t Mom, Friend, Brother, Cousin look at his Styrofoam cup in the video (blacked out like it makes a difference). His staff members are handing him that shit like it’s a cup of koolaide. They don’t give a fuck just pay me and to all the stupid fans. Keep giving him money to buy more get high (He broke you know, I would feel better supporting him if he was taking care of his finance instead of using my hard earned money to get high, shit I got bills too). That shit is like a alcoholic/crackhead bum walking up to you on the street and ask for a quarter of your last $3 you have for lunch (Aint we in a recession too? Yall know the banks a going broke right). But, hey why not support a drug addict that don’t give a fuck and will most likely take your ticket money but, show up 3 hours late to stand there and grease his self (high as hell) and walk off the stage. Hey but he is hot right? All tormented people are treated with more respect than a hard working, talented artist. Fuck Wayne and the Styrofoam cup he is sipping out of.

big ups 2 wayne for doin his thing…cant knock a niggas hustle…even more big ups cuz he sellin and his album is garbage…C3 cannot hold a candle to tha carter II …. Carter 2 -…I ain’t tripping nigga, I play the corner like ripkin nigga
With the 40 cal ripkin nigga, rip a nigga
Flip ya vehicle, split ya windshield
Wack ya Baby momma but I let the kid live
And people say that I am a kid still, cause the lil nigga still rides on big wheels….Carter 3 I owe you like 2 vowels?….cum on man…wayne fell off

#34 got some good points…watch niggas call him a hater or a fag tho…

wayne is so weak ahahhahahha wow

Thank you Tre

How the hell can he sell like crazy????????????? I don’t get that??? I mean his album is pretty good but not THAT good. He was not a mainstream artist when he dropped this album so Where did all these fans come from?? It’s really insane. I’m happy for him but DAMN there’s something fishy going on here for real.

I’m an ole head…and I for one loves Wayne’s delivery …it really dont matter what he is saying his delivery is very passionate…and his music (beats and sound is so crisp)…You cant deny that this dude have a passionate for music…even if you dont like his lyrics his spitting game is far more superior…and Contrary to popular believe…Wayne has the hearts of the teenagers…girls and boys…my 17 is just now liking him over Gunit…but my baby boy (me and him both) been liked Wayne’s swag….

Although I didnt buy his album, my son brought it…I will borrow his…but I did buy Nas and pre-order Game’s…Amazon offering them both for $19.98 combination….

I cant wait to LAX…now Game has that swag and delivery I like too…and since I’m an ole head…Ive always liked Nas Lyrical Ability…and he has that OG Swag thing going on as well…..for the other peeps…if you want to sell…you have to appeal to the youth like Souja Boy…you have to have a delivery that make people want to repeat your lyrics..and you must have some type of SWAG…or in the South case…some type of dance….<—not diggin on the South either…because I get with them dances too…I loved Chicken Little Soup Dance with my kids..and I have a torn menicus for doing the Crank Dat!….well I’m done preaching..I have to take my x-rays to my orthopedic to get that menicus repaired…peace out!

Tre, save the essays for college.

Congrats to wayne.

yo, where did you get the soundscan numbers? he was at like 1.6 mil n change last week after selling 150k. i dont see a 200% increase in sales in the fifth week very likely..

I for one don’t care about a drunken/herion/pill/crack delivery if I have to listen to the high slurrrrrr. Well I hope your nightquill stays in the medicine cabinet cause Wayne taught your children how to mix syrup and injest it out of styrofoam cups. S. Boy taught the boys its ok to buss on a girl even if that hoe dont want it but take a risk of going to jail for rape cuz girl didn’t want to screw you. OOHH and girls will feel its ok for men to violate them as a cum bucket cause he felt like it (Superman that hoe ooohh then walk it out). And I always believed that Rap or Hip-hop was about the message, delivery and the music. Does Wayne really have all those qualities. I sure as hell know he don’t care about his fans. He may love music and have a passion for it but, I was one to believe when you love something and are passionate about it you treat it with respect.

@40- Superman—— The real superman would be disappointed in you.

You wrote—- Tre, save the essays for college.

Maybe if you wrote a essay in college you would demand better music. Was that Statement you made supposed to be a jab if so go to school and get ya GED first then talk to me.

Tre Thank you again lol I think its safe for me to leave this post you’re doing a great job at kepping these porch monkeys in check.

By the way look at this ignorant shit

http://thisis50.com/profiles/blog/show?id=784568%3ABlogPost%3A5401356&page=13#last_comment

LOL
Tre servin them.

lol Tre shut up man. Congratulate wayne or not and move on. Its too late to figure out why people like him or not.

He makes good music, period. You’re so naive. Do you know how many musicians use drugs??

Mothafucka said get my first GED. Look, Im ALOT smarter than you. You need to stop getting excited cuz you graduated highschool. There’s a looong way to go. Learn some punctuation atleast

Superman will be dissapointed? woow Ive heard it all.

TRE AINT SHIT

Imagine this idiot thinking he’ smart cuz he typed up a horribly punctuated naive block of text.

Remove the rock in your eye before you try to find another’s.

I guess Im just crazy enough to listen to music as a form of entertainment. You wanna marry wayne n shit haha

“Its just netertainment!” - Hova

If I hear one more nigga say something about telling a story im gonna flip. I like true hip hop myself but if you niggas want a story then go read a book!

Double Plat. In Five Weeks? ..Damn Weezy Killin Em

Weezy doing big things because he knows how to promote themselves. People talking about oh well he in it for just the money and all this ish. The Hip-Hop game is a business. These dudes gotta get in and make their money before their time is up. Any dude hating on another dude for making his money while he can is simply that. A HATER. Now watch Weezy fly by you and say “Hi Hater!”

Superman…. I formed my sentence’s in kindergarten style so you could understand…. I ran out of crayons cause you kept stealing them cause you waste your money on drug addicts. As usual your showing your lack of education with your comments. One who is intellectually inclined does not need to prove it….

Ahhh at last something I didn’t read on a Snapple cap after I finished quenching my thrust. Many artist and musicians are drug addicts and look at what happened to them. In this day and age that era should be over but ignorant people like you support the madness. You don’t even have a come back that shakes my feathers. UMMM you should get GED for dummies and start studying fast.

That’s right Chuck I ain’t shit… I take Shitz and right now I am shitting on you heads up..

http://usversusthem.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/oh-hell-noracist-obama-t-shirts-in-nyc/

Weezy will get kicked off the plane due to lack of funds when he purchased the tickets. His money is here today gone tomorrow. He is financially illiterate and he got the I can’t read disease.

“I formed my sentence’s in kindergarten style so you could understand”

now this is just some fuckery. How is that possible when I replied after you? You time travelling now Doc?

I honestly think you are 16. Im not arguing with you. Peace. Be safe

Superman have a good day too nice talking to you…

Nah I just knew a Non GED having person was going to post so I was prepared in advance. AAAhhhh low and behold you appeared as expected. Reading is fundamental

Age is but a number knowledge is endless. But, I am glad you kept it classy…

still think this nigga was on too much syrup makin this album

Age, race, gender and sexual orientation always come up when two people go back and forth in blogs. Its funnier when your in the audience though.

the point is that lil wayne is not good as jay-z biggie or tupac (just wanted state that for everyonez knowlegde)……cuz i kno theres sum lil 17yr old nigga wit tight jeans and a v-neck thinkin waynez “lyrics” gospbel

LIL WAYNE IS LYRICALLY DISABLE

Itz the end of the fuckin world………

@Mikefromthe718 Well said and I agree. Maybe if he stops getting high so much he would make more sense

“Why are fans more so interested in album sells in this day & age”…Well maybe because topics like this that websites be posting makes it intertesting for blogs to focus more on album sells then quality music. How the hell are ya’ll gonna put up a post about fans being interesting in album sells then post this shit doesn’t make any sense to me. Ya’ll should of never done that LOL but its cool big up to lil wayne on the Carter 3 album selling 2x plat thats very good.

hate it or love it tre the nigga sellin so say what you want i no 4 damn sure he aint guna care wat u think bout him nd i aint sayin u a hater js sayin superman has points peace

fuck wanye he sucks TOS was way better gunit4life

To Lil’ Wayne fans this proves that he’s the best rapper alive. It’s madness.

Nas has nothing to do with this, but the stans are saying C3 > Untilted. You’re on the crack pipe, if you honestly believe that. Or maybe you only care about the beats. Either way you’re an idiot.

LOL… i will never understand..why people hype NAs’ album up so much… I mean you would have to be lying out your teeth if you didnt feel like wayne had a solid 6-7 songs on his album and comaring that to Nas he didnt deliver in that fashion…

You’d just be lying to yourself..

ChrisFromthaDtothaPHX next stupid ass uneducated pink clothes wearing N!99@ to get lynched.

King you are correct… I won’t disagree…. I take your point and like your angel on the situation (I like your side too Superman)

He sold that many units because his label brought most of the albums. Its a known fact that labels hype shit up and then people become interested (not that his shit is good) they buy as blind consumers because of an eloquent marketing campaign. Hype but the minute people buy tickets and see his syrup ass on stage they want their money back. Give him a couple of months and shows the blinders will be off. I think Amy Winehouse is fucked up too but people ran and copped that album. Until she started punching fans in the face and not showing up to gigs fans paid $100’s of dollars on tickets. Wayne will do the same thing watch and see… Don’t believe the hype yall

where is ill will with his dumb comments

Tre is it that serious though?

weezy doin his thing right now..

Success only makes people who are not successful become uncomfortable… hence the haters lol.

YEAHHAAA, like i told ya’ll and how many other dudes told ya he is killin it!
THA CARTER 3 allready a CLASSIC!
Lil Wayne = Best Rapper Alive and thats a fact!
Haters he got it!!! F*ck mixtape djs !!!
He is the KING right now!
Nobody can say shit against him!
Wayne do ya thing you shoed them haters whats on!
!

HEARD DA ALBUM…ONLY LIKED 3 SONGS…SHYT IS VERY CREATIV….2 MILLI N 5 WEEKS DAYUMMMMM….WAYNE MUST BE GETTN HELP FROM ALIENS O SUM SHYT LMAO….

Wayne smashed Nas!
Tha Carter 3 smashed Untitled!
Thats another fact!
Rap changed!

No it’s not the end of the world we waiting on the fourth quarter baby… Nobody got any music out now that’s all. See if they wait to the fourth quarter they get credit for two years

@73, r u serious???
u r just another hater.
People will hate wayne like 50 only because hes doin that numbers!?!
U just hate people because they makin money!?!

Fck All The People That Are Sayin’ ; Universal Bought Most Of The Albums!
You Must Be Fckning Kiddin’ Me? Lol, He Sold 2Mill Just Understand And Dont Hate. Even If You Dont like him
Just Say GOOD JOB Wayne, Lol 50 Is Not Gonna Compete With This Numbers.

Ps; untitled was good too, but nas only reaches the older ones. the wise ones, the young people can’t listen to him ya digg? everyone can listen to shit like lollipop lol.

its a shame when realtalk post something like this.. whats ur point he did 2mill in 5 weeks, like this has never been done.. get off of his dick realtalk…. nas has the best album of the year by far… lil wayne has nursery rhymes… someone please tell me what wayne is getting at on any of the songs… a bunch of freestyles of beats… no concept.. and all yall clowns support that… nas made a brilliant album.. realtalkny give that legend some respect, and hop off of the lil wayne band wagon… u wasnt screaming wayne last year..

GUNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Co sign #68 chrisfromthadtothaphx’…Exactly my point.

Carter 3 is not a classic lol. Just had to say that. Its a really good enjoyable album but cmon. You tryin to say wayne cant do better than some of the songs on there?

We know he can. Shit he knows he can

Co sign #26 2shooters’…exaclty my point..LOL

I’m not the biggest Lil Wayne fan, but hat’s off to the young boi with the sales and developing a good album. But lets all keep it real please…..tha carter III is NOT! a classic album, ill give it 4 out of 5 mic’s. Lets remember classic material means tha beats on most of the tracks are hot like lava. Second, the contents is Phenonemial and is uncomprehendable by the average listener(meaning, the artist is spittin’ some real shit that the average “soulja boi” listen’ muthafucka would be confused by). Third, the ablum is so diverse the club bangar’s are hot, the weak tracks finally grow on you, and they become hot. and Last but not least, album sales…….. So i think wayne manage to accomplish most of these.

senseless comments, let me my opinion. Carter 3 IS a Classic.
3 Million People World Wide cant be wrong !

his label bought alot of those records. 2x plat in 5 wks??? yea rite. thats y they investigatin that now. 3 million idiots. niggas sayin classic 2 much. aint no classics out. BET U LAX GONNA BE.

DAVID BANNERS MIGHT BE This is Bushanomics, George is a modern day Ronald Reagan/I pray to God in the midst of pagans – niggas I’m just sayin’/When do we stop playin’? When do we stop pimpin’ and start sprayin’?/Fifty shots for every cop that popped Sean Bell his body layin’/But they acquit – ‘cause they know our generation won’t do shit!”

EVEN JAY SAID WAYNE AINT GOT NO CLASSICS. TRUE TRUE!!!

congrats to wayne! 2.5 million people! wow! that is a lot of 14 year olds.

“3 Million People World Wide cant be wrong !”

exactly, tell the 23 million people that bought vanilla ice and mc hammer that too!

it’s an accomplishement nonetheless. props to wayne

I don’t think da labels buy their artists cds cuz if dat was da case t.o.s would’ve went gold in a week hahahaha tru story

i wana no hu wud ppl choose wayne or eminem

unless he sold 400k this week it aint double platnum yet were u gettn ya numbers from my dude shit juss went 1.6 last friday and iam sure he aint sell 400k

NAS NEVER BACK DOWN FROM NO ONE AND THATS A FACT… LISTEN TO THE BRIDGE 2000 when he murder memphis bleek…. WHO DID WAYNE MURDER LMAO oh my bad gillie the kid lmfao WOW BIG DEAL.. lmfao nas murder… MOBB DEEP>> MEMPHIS BLEEK>> HOVA>> ANd THE WHOLE ROCK TEAM lol lil wayne has no one who he murder soo please.. NAS ALL DAY.. REAL LYRICS ALL DAY..

Labels do buy the artist CD to boost record sales. 50 was pissy because his label would not continue to buy copies Curtis when it first came out. His album sales stalled during the second week. Kenye won because Jay-Z made sure all the copies were purchased. Its a game of politics.

The label did not purchas T.O.S. because they are under G-Unit. 50 is already supporting G-Unit. 50 is letting the album generate audiance sells thats why its taking so long to reach the platinum. With Down Loads well, the internet everything is free now. How many kids gonna buy the album and then put it on their IPod or MP3 Playa when they could get it free from sites like RealTalk and nameless (no promo). Think before you talk music is one big chess game and the way you move your pieces is the way the record company will treat you. Now Weezy label needs him. Like Murda Inc. needed Ashanti right now. She is the only one bringing in the chips. Irv tried to dog her at first but, he understands that Ja aint hitting right now but Shannie is.
