  10. Jay-Z wins. Nas & Wayne lose.

    Nas worked under Jay at Def Jam.
    Wayne… “got hova at the game and now he coaching me”.

    Kobe could never disrespect Phil. Too many rings.

  11. Stop says:

  19. SELF MADE says:

    agreed, wtt>c4 easily

    :D

  20. North Star says:

    “Cole World” is so fucking good. This album, despite all the hate it got when it dropped, is actually very good too.

    (Carter 4 blows)

  21. It was only a matter of time. Gratz to em’ both. I actually didn’t like the album as much as I wanted to, but it was good. The New Day joint on the RZA beat is nice.

  22. MR.SWAGGER says:

    IF IT WERENT FOR LEAKS AND PIRACY, THIS ISH WOULDVE WENT PLAT IN LIKE 2 WEEKS, AND WOULD BE LIKE 2X PLAT BY NOW.

  23. Micheal says:

    C4>Red>Wtt

  24. STINKMEANER says:

    ya WTT is definitely one of the best albums of 2011.

    jay and ye are setting new standards for the hip hop industry, music, culture and entrepreneurialism.

  25. Donn says:

    Sales dont matter remember??? Fucking hypocrits on these message boards. Album of the Year

  26. Tune says:

    Wayne sold a million in a week it took them 2 months so clearly C4 > WTT

  27. Micheal says:

    The album didn’t leak dumbass.

  28. TRUE HIP HOP FAN says:

    FUCK MUSIC QUALITY, I LIKE QUANTITY.

    SO…..C4>WTT

  29. Real Talk says:

    Wtt is pop Red is hiphop! So R.e.d>C4>wtt

  30. cool agent says:

    they used a pelican suitcase to secure wtt album from leaking

  31. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    Congrats to Jay & Kanye REAL TALENT. The more i see the weekly numbers for the C4 the more i think somebody wasn’t playing fair it drop 50% this week.

  32. John Doe says:

    HAHAHA FUCKING FLOP!

  33. STINKMEANER says:

    ya serious RapRadar guys, how the fuck do you get 2 months from AUG 12 to SEPT15?

    What the fuck month is in between august and september?

  34. John says:

    Jayz must of bought wtt because,the 2nd week sale it drop 85%.

  35. Be realistic. Weezy is talented. He has talent, and he’s definitely one of the best. But he’s no Jay-Z. He’s no Eminem. I don’t even think he’s a Kanye. Jay-Z and Weezy both already have legacies, but Jay-Z’s is stronger and will outlast Lil Waynes.

  36. MIL says:

    And without Def Jam having to buy any back

  37. cool agent says:

    when the fuck does ross album come out

  38. Yo says:

    lmao @ “What the fuck month is in between august and september?”

    Congratulations to the GOAT and that really good producer-guy.

  39. Ben says:

  40. slick says:

    a rapper getting platinum plaques at the age of 42 is something we might not witness again in our lifetime

  41. shane says:

  42. cool agent says:

    i asked my lil blood what he want when he turn 21, he said a bottle of ciroc and a glock

    :O

  43. M.T says:

    Congrats to Jay and Kanye! Still bumping Watch The Throne. Dope album.
    Saleswise yall cant compare C4 and Watch the throne. C4 sold more on its first week then Kanye and Jay sold right now and c4 will sell more overall. BUT Watch the Throne is a much better album than Tha Carter IV. Simple as that.

  44. Shawn says:

    JayZ been in the game 16 Lil Wayne 14 years aka legend status

  45. cool agent says:

    but ne wayz salute to hip hop

  46. Converse says:
