He deserves it.

I checked out a couple copies of his album to kids under the age of 15/16 yet I had a guy in his late 20s take one as well...

brilliance. I would do that, but they have security cameras and so forth where I work... : [

You know how over in the Jessica Simpson thread, you hear "country fans don't know how to download." I'm not being prejudiced, but really, black people spend the most money on albums. I wonder wut the demographic is like on those albums haha.

I don't care how much flack I catch for saying this: I actually kind of enjoyed "Shoot Me Down".

I haven't heard any other songs yet, but if the songs are more like "Shoot Me Down" and not like "Lollipop", I might actually wind up enjoying this album. No joke.

i'm just glad cd sales will go up

Well, yeah, he is helping the overall sales go up. It should be interesting seeing the difference between #1 and #2.

good album
I'm loving Dr. carter and Shoot me down

I wonder if U2 will reach the same first-week sales as Lil' Wayne and (supposedly) Coldplay; How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb debuted with nearly 840,000 copies.

The Carter III is great. A lot of people probably won't like it due to their taste, but it's just a matter of opinion and taste.

But I WILL ignore Jason's comment.

maybe people like Lil' Wayne because...I dunno...he actually cares and is serious about the music he puts out? I'm not sure you could say the same about some of the novelty act rappers we've had running amok on the charts recently.

You would think some ATRL members would rather complain about an artist worth bitching about...

WHATEVER

Holy ****
he didn't deserve it

i hope he can outsell Kanye

Terrible
