    When JAY-Z is in miami everybody is trying to be there he says LIVE NATION wont let him perform contract stipulation i guess. I heard they were charging people like between $300-500 to get in the club that nite. Ace Hood sold 26K first wk. Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Ferrari Boyz album 17K first wk.

  7. Benzo550 says:

    I don’t know what charts u guys are looking at buy 5’9 didn’t sell 16k try around 9k but he better than ye jay ace hood all them but can’t sell without em!

  8. Your mother's "friend" says:

    WTT gets better with each listen , all them other basic niggas had no business dropping the same day as Jay & Ye

  9. Me says:

    Ace hood really need to step it up…all songs on bst sounded thesame.i guess thats the diffrence between ok rappers and good rappers..big up meek.

  10. The Cold Death says:

    @ Benzo550

    Hits Daily Double is inaccurate. Royce debuted at No. 25, sold over 16,000 first-week units. http://bit.ly/biVNi (Ranked by sales data as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.)

    Where are they now?

  11. Benzo550 says:

    @cold death that still is not good when all these ppl are say he is a good rapper! My only point is all these so call great rappers don’t sell because they dont make good songs they just wanna be the best rapper.

  12. Da Truthhhhhhh says:

    Cosign@ Benzo yes you have to be an all round MC you could be the best rapper but you have to be a wack rapper to sell singles , Switching skill level counts.

  13. Shaq says:

    Sorry when I hurt your feelings but Royce’s album is way better than WTT !

  14. benzo550 says:

    @da truthhhhhhh you damn right look at all the rappers that have won b.e.t freestyle fridays none of them are known for making good records forget great records. Look how long 5’9 been in the game he cant out sell wiz. big sean none of these so called sorry rappers. You got cats selling more than 16k on a mixtape with no deal!

  15. benzo550 says:

    @shaq so why did it only sell 16k if it was so great it should have sold 50-100k somthing as I said before you got cats selling 16k of mixtapes with no deal he got the co-sign of em that should get him some good numbers.If j.cole only sells 16k everybody is going to kill him on the net!

  16. Black Shady says:

    BME > WTT

  17. bgreat says:

    @shaq

    you not hurting anyone feelings if you thats your opinion then thats cool, i dont agree at all my point is that in order to be popular you have to make good music where your sound crosses into all gener’s no matter who listen they bob their head im really no fan of no one i like music and open my ears to all dont forget rappers just dont sell their records to only hip hop heads their is alot of people who listen to rock country and hip hop …not me….but alot of whites…you have to make music that is going to get on their radio stations too and in their clubs i.e. lift off …song suck but i know some girls who like it…

    my thing is cats diss WTT sayings too much this too much that but then say they can’t wait till carter come out …me too…but didn’t wayne sing how to love….what the hell is that??….come on you cant be a critic to WTT if you bop your head to how to love im sorry …

  18. benzo550 says:

    @black shady artist make music to sell not for ppl to say how great it is otherwise they would give away!bme sold how many and dont come wit the em sold this much are that much because bme sold no where near wtt.On top of all that who has the most money!

  19. EZ-DINERO says:

    I bought WTT and I love it. To each his own, if you think it’s wack so be it. Just stop pushing your opinions off as though they’re facts. WTT>>>>>>>>>>every other hip hop album out right now…MY OPINION!!!

  20. bgreat says:

    fact is if all these albums were so great how come nobody buy that sh*t…say what you want about pub….good muisic get aired i.e. throwed off who are they??…. never heard of em but the song play in the club radio, mixed tapes who was drake niki and anyone else for that matter…people apperently like their music enough to buy it all these wack albums i keep hearing thats soo great yet aint nobody buying the sh*t….if WTT was so wack word woulda have spread after it dropped on itunes apperently it isn’t as wack as some of you simple minded MF’s think talkin about WTT but probably bopp’n your head to how to love….smfh

  21. Jimster says:

    You sound so stupid saying that Royce flopped. Considering that he’s on an independent label and the album had no promo, this is good.

  22. Aj says:

    Mr Ouija mixtape > Wtt. The Definition > wtt. The Meaning > wtt. Ferrari Boyz > wtt. Blood Sweat and Tears > wtt. Follow Me Home > wtt.

  23. Aj says:

    Lil Ripsta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jay Z

  24. Benzo550 says:

    Why make music to sell if you don’t sell nothing make music and just give it away for free those cats losing money that’s why they stay indie! Who the hell wanna make music and make no money what would be the point!5’9 is not cube are tech 9 they are indie and sell and make money!

  25. Aj says:

    Mr. Ouija (mixtape) >>>>>>> watch the butthole

  26. Aj says:

    FACES OF DEATH >> JAY Z AND KANYE WEST CAREERS COMBINED

  27. Jimster says:

    What, did you expect him to make 200k for an indie album? When BME hasn’t even blown up mainstream wise? Again, 16k is good for Royce and good for any indie artist. Not so much for artists like Ace and Gucci.

  28. Benzo550 says:

    @AJ all those cats need to make music to pay there bills they have nothing else going on! No one can rap forever 12 number 1 lps worth 400mil plus! Tell your boys to get money and stop trying to out rap everyone!

  29. Benzo550 says:

    @jimster y is 5’9 still a indie artist look how long he has been around name a hit he has a number 1 lp are single! Come on son he has been making music for over 10yrs give me something!

  30. Aj says:

    @ Benzo550, actually they have their own labels and own artists. And they all are younger than jay z. Oh, and they make better music too.

  31. Freddy Long says:

    Make classic records. To make that record the beat arrangement of a track can make and break it. So many variations.

  32. NICKEY NEGRITO says:

    WATCH THE THRONE IS DOPE.

    5’9 can’t compete with Jigga lyrics

    Eminem can’t compete with Jay. Jay uses a short amount of words and still manages to kill.

    Dudes be sitting there writing they hearts out, meanwhile Hov always goes in the booth with no pen or paper.

    Nas sits and writes. Em sits and writes. All deez new cats including kindergarten rappers Wacka and Gucci write( now that’s just crazy, they should be able to freestyle an album with the shot they spit). If Jay wrote again like he did mostly on READONABLE DOUBT, half you dudes would change your mind about him. He doesn’t write and still manages to say some crazy shit.

    Jay is the King of Hip Hop not Eminem

    Rakim is the God of Hip Hop not Nas( no diss to Nas)

  33. Benzo550 says:

    @AJ you say you don’t like jay z music that’s fine but other than 50 none of shady records artist have sold like the roc in the 90s look it up almost all of the artist sold 500k are 1mil even dj clue!

  34. WestCoast says:

    @NICKEY NEGRITO
    joke ??!!!
    Royce will rap circles around jay
    and Mr.Mathers killed Jay on his own shit
    WTT can’t fuck with Bad Meet Evil Team

  35. Benzo550 says:

    @westcoast ok em is the best 5’9 is better than jay than why can’t 5’9 sell records if jay so sorry why is he still selling and making more money than both of them put together! Jay is a business man not just a rapper!

  36. John says:

    West coast you’re too white to be making those type of statements duke.

    The only credible white guy is Eminem and look what he said.

    I got a list here’s the order of my list that it’s in.
    It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.

    wack list, to be expected since he’s white but at least he knows that jay, pac, big and has are ahead of him..

  37. WestCoast says:

    @Benzo550
    Eminem is rapper
    jay-z is bussness man

  38. NICKEY NEGRITO says:

    I want you to clearly PEEP what I wrote or what Im gonna type again:

    If Jay wrote again like he did on Reasonable Doubt, which is by far IMO lyrically better than any Em album, Jay would kill deez dudes.

    Em said Jay had to meet a deadline when he made RENEGADE. Em sent the track and Jay dropped 2 verses without mimicking Ems delivery and without a trace of a PEN or PAPER. Now imagine if he did sit down and write and wanted to match Ems flow? Anutha thing is that they didn’t battle. Do you realize how many more units Jigga moved by having Em on his album? That was a genius move in itself. Ems flow was crazy and the wordplay, but don’t act like Jay said some elementary raps.

    “muthafuckas say that I’m foolish, I only talk about jewels, do you fools listen to music or do you just skim thru it.”-JayZ

  39. garviz says:

    you can be the most lyrical rapper alive if you dont connect with people then your lyrics are useless. do you want to hear a guy rap like he works for nasa or do you want to hear some real shit. like the things pac said. royce has to learn how to nas and jay the game lyrical guys but they connect they hit that mark that makes you say yeah that same shit happened to me

  40. Stu Pickles says:

    Of course their album will do decent numbers. It’s fucking Jay-Z and Kanye West, two of the biggest musical acts today. Comparing them to someone like Ace Hood is just stupid and mean.

  41. garviz says:

  42. haq says:

    wtt = black crackers sellin’ they wack juice gtfoh

  43. Tr3y* says:

    EMINEM SUCKS!!!

    hate incomming in 3…2…1…

  44. Benzo550 says:

    @ at this point wtt sold the second most this year they didn’t have to have a sell for the cd the first week some 99 cent for a day are some gimmick like that it will do about 200-250k this week it may out sell game everybody talking about how dope is cd is watch when the numbers come in!

  45. Aj says:

    @ Benzo550, I think you misread my comments, I never said anything about an artist from Shady records. But Jay z sucks. Bizzy Bone beat him in a freestyle battle before. Jay z couldnt even think of anything else to say because bizzy was so good. Dmx killed him in their battle. And Big L made him look like kreayshawn on their 7 minute freestyle. And eminem is the most overrated rapper in history. Not even top 50.

  46. Nikka says:

    @Benzo550, the album sold good because it’s branded with JAY-Z & KANYE WEST, that means that no matter what type of music they make, it will always have a good sale, they could have made a 20 track album with fartings, the sell numbers would have been also high just because of the name branding, these numbers have nothing to do with the music quality, especially the FIRST WEEK SALE numbers…

  47. Benzo550 says:

    @AJ how many records is bizzy bone selling now as I said if a artist wanna be the best rapper fine that’s not gonna sell records look where he is now!
