Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
Congrats yall Ye and Hov

“Take Care” will be better than “Watch The Throne” yea I said it.. Shout out to Jay & Ye for havin the hardest album this year so far tho.

WTT is tha most overrated album ever !
Weezy and Drizzy’s album is gonna sell more than this old hag…

What the fuck? Only about 400k ?? And this album didn’t even leak 2 weeks or w.e. ? Damn IMO I think that’s bad. Not hating or tryna sound like a dick but eminems recovery got leaked exactly 2 weeks and that shit still sold 700k . Smh. Two amazing artist in one album couldn’t hit that gold status atleast?? Smfh
**MyNaMek’Ree**
feRRaRI BOyz kick’N tHe tHRoNe baD Meets eviL aSseS Brr Brr Brr!!!!
Only 7 more #1 albums to catch The Beatles. Which I don’t see that happening but sitting number 2 isn’t bad at all! Congrats
Take Care, Tha Carter IV and a collaborative album coming! 400k is weak. If that’s how it sold then Cold World is gonna flop.
Tha Carter IV prediction = 1 million.
Take Care prediction = 500k.

Is the physical copy of the album included with the internet sales? I’m pretty they sold more than that!
Thats only iTunes sales the album physically just came out recently
wow.Eminem’s recovery was leaked 2 weeks prior release and managed to sell almost 800k.
What the fuck is this shit? Is that it? lmao
^
Kanye last lp sold way more than that? smh Internet hype means shit in reality
Congrats to Jay & Kanye. @Cali why are you so bitter homie? U old Sensitive internet Thug.
the cd was only available in 1 location until the end of the week and than BestBuy was added. Plus they sold it for $14+ a copy. “Your single was 99 cents mine was $4 bucks” HA. Not to mention no real single or push. We didn’t even know the album release date until the last second
@Illuminati
No those are the physical sales.
“Lil Wayne and drake are garbage” Best comment for so far.
400k in 4days that’s fucking great then
Men lie women and internet hype means shit
CIV, LFTUG, COLEWORLD
“Eminem’s recovery was leaked 2 weeks prior release and managed to sell almost 800k”. – White people buy records. White 14year old girls buy even more records.
The album is ill got both digital and hard copy going to the show.Spent about 4 bills on these niggas and dont regret it.Can ur favourite rapper make u do that?
That number includes internet sales and retail sales from Monday, August 8th to Monday, August 15th. Obviously you couldn’t get the retail copy until Friday, but the sales from that Friday to the 15th are still included.
its sad, royce had the better album. he shoulda been #1
DAMN HIP-HOP IS ALIVE!! GOING 2 BE THE TWO BEST ALBUM SELLER OF THE YEAR!!!
CARTER IV AUG 29 AND TAKE CARE OCT 26!!!
Watch the Throne sold 290k breaking the iTunes record for best selling 1st-week album sales.
WTT >>>>>>>>>>>> R.E.D >>>>>>>>>>>> Carter 4
They already sold a Million off of Pre-orders!
400K !!!And this album didn’t even leak!!!
Eminem & Royce best duo ever >kanye & jay-z
BME EP>WTT LP
Wayne better sale more how many songs he got out? A Milli. Otis didn’t drop til 2 weeks ago the video dropped last Thursday Jay or ye did no interviews no nothing thus was all word of mouth u haters let soft boys slash lover boys drake and wayne do that and still do 400 plus. BME still ain’t sold this much right. Y’all can bump that how to love stuff ill bump some nihgas in paris
TAKE CARE WILL DO 500K AND THA CARTER IV 600K
That number is based on itunes/digital sales accountin for 75% of the sales..the physical copy has only been available since Friday..wit the delux version that pretty much everybody who buys the albums wants only bein sold at one location..you take that into consideration plus the record breakin itunes first sale week..plus not havn much push..lettn the buzz grow organically..droppin a non convential no hook song as a “single” witout a video..and havn otis only get as high as 12 so far on the singles charts, plus no leaks..means they a damn good job..and for them its not even about the numbers it was about doin it for the music..some pple won’t like it..others will…great album..let’s see if any of these other “bosses” can generate the same response
Does this mean the WTT Rapradar promo is over?
290,000 digital downloads on I-Tunes in one week….. (Broke the previous record held by Coldplay)
426,661 physical copies sold since Friday (And that’s not counting today, so thats 3 days worth of sales)
So that adds up to 716,661 copies sold, and thats still not counting digital downloads on Amazon which will be released tomorrow and not counting independent record stores, so its safe to say Watch The Throne is close to a million sold if not a million sold with those who bootlegged it, and thats without an “official single” and the Otis video didnt come out until last Thursday, let me know what other rapper, fuck that what other musician in any genere of music has done that…. not many if any at all, I like Wayne, I like Drake, but honestly Carter IV will sell because he has fans, but his album will be better than Watch The Throne, Take Care will be good, maybe even a classic but will it better than Watch The Throne?? I personally dont see it.
Good for them.Tho this album is a better version of Lasers.
The Game’s Ricky>>>>WTT
Record sales dont mean shit. Actually, If I was rich as hell and in no need of money, I wouldnt want my album to sell a lot because today that kinda means u make pop music. And Im not gonna make pop music for white people. So the less the better.
Swiped this album right off iTunes at 12:01am August 8th! Congrats to the both of ‘em! Only song I skip on this joint is “Lift Off” song is very unfitting with the rest of the album! XP
WAITING FOR…
Drake – Take Care
J. Cole – Cole World: The Sidline Story
Game – The R.E.D. Album
Young Jeezy – TM 103
Lil Wayne – Tha Carter 4 (Prolly won’t buy this one though lol)
Dr. Dre – Detox (Whenever it sees the light of day)
Since when has selling 450k been a flop Thats more the Rick Ross last album to date stop the hate em always sells always so that’s a gimme c3 went platuim with buzz a a Mille none that this time around so stop hating and enjoy the music
congrats to these 2 rich negros!!
