Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
The kids love “Tiger Jeggings”. Hahaha.
Lol @ that pic
How many you buy birdman? My 15 year old neice and my girls friend brought this sad album so u know why it sells. Congratulations Wayne on the numbers not ur album.
its a shame for hiphop that this album sold so much… now people think lil wayne the greatest rapper from this decade…
Hip Hop moves forward. I think more people should be less mad at this and more happy that hip hop is STILL selling records and moving culture.
Granted this isn’t the era of the 90′s “X-Clan’s” and music with a message days….but this just a new chapter in hip hop and Lil Wayne and his releases (like it or not) are good for hip hop in that they carry on tradition of hip hop being the cornerstone of pop culture.
Tight pants or not.
Hey ya’ll if you like Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Royce Da’ 5’9′, Missy Elliott, Pharcyde, or Skillz you MIGHT like my music!

LOL at the pic. Birdman looks like a straight clown, fuck how much money you got when you got no dignity.
yalll nigggas in denial hahahaha! fuck it birdman bought half he still sold more then watch the throne…wayne got the throne…not jay not kanye WAYNE
i understand its cool to hate popular artist…but sorry mainstream wins again…jay aint no goat…nigga has never seen his success…wayne em and kanye are on different fields then jay z…people need to realize that…that nigga aint no goat
birdman..look like a complete fool..full of greed..in that pic..smh
..
been..cashing $300 checks daily… http://goo.gl/dgjX9 after seein how u can make money online…doing shit u already do..lol
At least hip-hop is dominating the charts so you can say we’re all winning.
Did anybody feel it was necessary to bring up JayZ name?______________________
Yeah me neither
2 different albums.
A different group can relate to the Throne and a different group can relate to Carter
@says btw
Beatrice needs to stop fronting, we know what went down….
@…. lol you drop out of elementary school math? Tell me what half of 965,342 is and tell me if that’s more than 600k LOL dumb fuck.
Face it, Birdman bought most of the copies, he’s a shrewd business man who knows that by the very act of getting an album to number 1 you can manipulate the stupid masses into actually listening to a fallen off wayne.
Ugly fuck lol. Gongratz with the great sells wayne, but the album is still shit
This hating is not healthy for you clowns. Show me Birdman’s reciept for 600,000 albums….oh you don’t have it? Then shut ya ignorant hoe ass up. Niggas don’t know SHIT
THIS NIGGA JUST SAID BABY BOUGHT MOST OF THE ALBUMS TO GET IT TO #1 …. NIGGA IT WAS #1 BY ABOUT 600K ALBUMS
@ cheddar bob, BITCH
You cannot fool the soundscan computers like was done in the 90′s. Years ago we would have the street teams go around with the company credit cards and buy up a couple of hundred units at tower records and such but that practice at major labels has long since been stopped when file sharing started eating profits. The practice of half price, giveaways, etc. are the exact same tactic for every single album released in this country.
You may not like it but wayne is popular and generates.
Lmao all the stans screamed 1mill. Fuck that shit this ain’t 2008 told y’all that nigga wouldn’t Do a mill
BUT, those are impressive numbers regardless. Just not a Millie. lmao. Congrats though. Album was pretty good.
BUT, Jay > Wayne until he gets 11 platinum plauqes. Wayne still got a ways to go. Jays only competition is THE BEATLES fuck outta here saying Wayne > Jay in sales. In terms of sales, our of all the top selling rap artist Wayne is on the outskirts. No diamond plaques yet either, then he’d be on Ems level.
Better luck next year!
@S1W32 Bull shit. This nigga bought mad albums and EVERYONE knows it.
If numbers dictate the throne, I would like congratulate MC Hammer and Nelly for their reign with the crown.
So i’ma end this lecture and I betcha
Those who kick dirt and do time I’m gonna get cha
Cause I be kickin the real
While they be losin the race tryin to chase mass appeal.
as someone who’s not a fan of Wayne generally speaking and a big fan of Kanye, Carter IV > Watch the Throne, hands down.
@ NOVA
a lot of people are PISSED OFF!!! FUCK is wrong with you!!
sad day in hip hop
This whole thing is mind boggling
WTT was weak
C4 was weak
RED (from track 1 to 12) is better than both these albums. the rest is wack
September 27 we’re getting a classic with Cole World!
@Nova Great statement! I don’t personally care for Carter IV…but that’s the bigger picture.
GOD FORGIVES I DONT
@word my point exactly…. Elvis left the buildin, now im on the beatles ass
Well, first off, I am no big Lil’ Wayne fan, but, nevertheless, congrats to him. Now, let’s see if he can outsell Juvenile’s 400 Degreez, which is the best selling album from Cash Money Records!
i dont care what the numbers are.. to me this album aint on the level of the red album the ricky song alone bodies the whole of carter 4.
@ EZDINERO
no its not a good statement. it means people will have to dumb down there product and there art to sell out and appeal a certain way. its fukked up bullsh1t like C4 is selling this much that ruins the integrity of hip hop music.
sh1t load of people are pissed at this. quality>>>>>>>>quantity.
Well i bought my copy 2day and its a good listen. didnt know Dre would be on the album though,kinda surprise me and Tech.
[...] will update this post later today, when the full interview is posted on MTV. Heads to RR for the audio [...]

Hip Hop loses again. Shame yall support trash rappers. Name one song of Lil Wayne that will be remembered 100 years from now…… *crickets* exactly. fuck outta here
Lil Wayne is the Allen Iverson of rap… what I mean is people like the Tats and braids shoot a lot of shoots (features) u look up dude got a lot of points but u shot a million times. Mike (Jay) just comes to win every night he don’t care about white America or young kids fopping the CD he wants everyone to hear great hip-hop which is WTT.
sells dont equal good music
Oh and u can’t be better then Jay unless u got at less 2 classics. Wayne has zero
the album is straight but it cant fuck with the RED album. im sorry.
This shit so fake! Wanye didnt even have a buzz like that forreal everybody know Cash Money Young Money buy there own albums to boost there sales i’ll say he really did about 400k to 450k first week
