a million copies in a week is to be applauded

[mistermaxxx]

so what if you don't like Lil weeie wayne but you gotta acknowledge anybody at any time that can pull down a million copies in a week. that says that said artist is speaking to alot of ears and is in tone with what is happening.

so what do you think of Lil wayne or any artist for that matters that opens out of the box with a million copies sold?? speak on it. I remember when Michael Jackson use to do it but there was no soundscan back then,but still you just knew.

i think it's sad that this guy sold that much.

real music doesn't sell at all these days.

my 2 cents.

[DuranDuran]

He's popular because he talks a lot of trash in magazines, and some people like that

[LiLi317]

Skip Lil Wayne He Aint Orginal & He Needs TO Get Rid Of Those Tattoos.And He Stole That Cover For His Album From Biggie.If Tupac & Biggie Were Still Here There Wouldnt Be A Lil Wayne Or Some Of These "So-Called" Rappers.Ugh...I Can't Stand Music These Days..But ......Congrats To Him

[mello1]

It means nothing to me. I am not impressed with the sales of below the bar music. If you want to call it that. Just says a lot about some people's taste.

In my opinion.

[TillitsGone]

Congrats to him.

As for his music in general, ain't nothing really special about it. He's lasted as long as he has because thats whats being played on the radio out of popularity, and that somehow alot of folks love it. The majority of music thats being played ain't even real music, and when there's others that do, its being downplayed by this crap, IMO.

Congrats to Weezy.

I know a lot dislike him, but who else is out there for mainstream listeners? 50 Cent? Soulja Boy?
If you hate hip-hop in general, then it's pointless to judge him. But if you listen to Wayne's mixtapes and not this mainstream stuff, it's evident he's a great lyricist. There's only a minority who can be labeled that, like Jay-Z for example.
Of course, there are far better like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, KRS-One, the list goes on... but they're not classified as mainstream. Of course Wayne has the southern hype behind him and it's a boost. I haven't heard that in a while though... a million in a week? Good for him.

Gooooo wayne! whoop whoop lol! some1 told me he and baby bought alot of the albums n passed them out n the hood lol..and if thats true..is it cheating? lol

[BONGANI]

I dont like the way Weezy raps, that voice is enough to turn me off, I've tried to give him a chance but he just doesnt do it HOWEVER there's a song called Mr Carter where he features Jay Z, now that track is the bomb, or is it because I like Jay Z?

Kany West also sold a million copies in a week but lets see if he will remake it for his next album .

Plus he sells a lot in the US not even in the rest of world , finaly he wont sell so much CDS if he doesnt sell well worldwide . In the US if you are young , new in the market and above all do RNB or Rap music you can sell very well , but he should takes advantage of this situation because that wont last , not sure that the second album will sell as well .

[Travis]

It's impressive in this day and age to sell that many copies but the music itself is far from impressive.

[DuranDuran]

not sure that the second album will sell as well .

I don't listen to him, but I'm pretty sure this isn't his 1st album

No it's not:

The Block Is Hot
Lights Out
500 Degrees
The Carter I
The Carter II
The Carter III

[Soso Deaf]
