    GIVE ME YOUR JEW GOLD

  23. Young Nigga says:

    Childish Gambino “Camp” was the best hip-hop album of 2011. But most of sleeping on him, so you don’t know he droped a REAL classic. Not just throwing the word classic around like every other album that came out this year.

  24. Niyemortal says:

    “Now for some stats: Mac becomes the first artist in 16 years to debut independently at number one. Congrats to him and the entire Rostrum team.”

    Correct me if I’m wrong but Big Machine Records was an independent record label when they released Taylor Swift’s album Fearless which debuted at #1, so Mac would be first independent RAP artist in 16 years to debut at #1, not the first artist period since then. I hate skewed facts.

  25. B.Dot says:

    @Niyemortal
    ^
    that was Taylor’s SECOND album. not debut.

  26. Brooklyn says:

    Fuck MACeroni & Cheese

  27. yo says:

    ^
    the fact that it came out today and youre calling it a classic means that you are throwing the word classic around. fyi.

  28. devante says:

    This guy music is terrible…. But much respect to him for moving those numbers.

  29. Younf Nigga says:

    @yo the fact that it leaked well over a week ago means yours your late ass a motherfucker dumbass. See what I’m ralking about SLEEPING.

  30. HUBERT says:

    LMAO MALCOLM FROM MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE IS A RAPPING THESE DAYS?

  31. The Truth says:

    Childish Gambino Camp> Every other release this year

  32. the void says:

    i didnt even know it had been released. looks like whichever city he is from bought all the albums.

  33. Word says:

    Indie and he still shitted on Big Seans first week. Imagine if he was on a major. Second coming of Eminem sales wise.

  34. Dom says:

    Good for him, but the album isn’t good. Congrats for the accomplishment, but he should try and improve the music.

  35. WhiteNigga says:

    Album is cool but radioactive just leaked! 4 songs in already

  36. d says:

    first in 16 years, with 148k but 16 years ago dogg pound sold 277,500k for the top spot. but they sold over 2 million records.all Independent. no hate but how many more will he sell

  37. I miss pro-black hip hop says:

    this shit sucks, another white gimmick

  38. M.T says:

    Heard about the album, listened to it and didnt like it. Congrats tho.

  39. Stop says:

    You know how Steve Stoute talks about the tanning of America I think he should reevalute that statement because many hip hop artists now are infact White I call this internets “the whitening of hip hop” e.g. Mac, Yelawolf, Kreyshawn, MGK etc.

  40. Swizz Beatz says:

    Mac Miller is my man but the #s are forged, it has been on preorder since August or something, they wouldn’t release it until it got 100k pre-orders.

    “For the first 25K pre-orders, Mac will drop the albums title track, Blue Slide Park. If 50,000 fans pre-order the album, then Miller will personally donate $50,000 to the Make A Wish foundation. Finally, if 100,000 kids lay down their benjamins for the album, then Blue Slide Park will be released earlier than expected.”

    Imagine if Eminem put his album on pre-order and said I won’t release it until 1.5 million pre-orders it, that would make 1.5 million first week.

  41. Swizz Beatz1 says:

    Even though it’s been able for purchase for months..

  42. Benzo550 says:

    @Stop 4 artist don’t make hip hop em is great but the rest we are going to have to wait and see!

  43. Alicia Keys says:

    Hip-Hop needs more Nigger rappers not Cracker rappers.

  44. Alicia Keys says:

    Black motherfuckers are gonna be the minority in hip hop. We have to stop this! we need to get Krs-One, Russel Simmons, and Lauryn Hill so we can a ralley going.

  45. Drake says:

    lol @ cheating to get the #1 spot

  46. Drake says:

    HAHA HE FANCY HUH

    white people stealing from blacks again… as usual… history repeats
    i know how the Africans and native Americans feel

  48. Alicia Keys says:

    @swizz beats your a dumb fuck. The release date was always Nov. 8, Mac said if he got a certain amount of pre orders before release date that he drop the album early. But they didn’t get enough pre orders. They did get 25K pre orders so he drop the song “Blue Slide Park”. Get your facts straight dumbass

  49. Anon DCPL says:

    this is crap, his album like dude said has been available for pre order for a while.

    smart marketing plan tho.
