Ugh, how da **** does he manage to sell this big? I mean, not even Kanye AND Jay-Z could do it.

GaGa sold 700k without the Amazon deal.

Urban buyers buy albums instead of pop buyers who buy singles.

And the fact stands that GaGa sold 1.1 million.

No, it didn't, as 440k copies were reported to have come from Amazon only.

Ew.

[Dephira]

Lulz you guyz, if he discounted the album on amazon, it would sell over a million! Get it? Because Gaga did it too once, remember? Hurr durr

[Win]

I never really thought he could sell this huge

[muddysquirrel]

Amazon underestimated his sales power or did they take too much of a loss with the Gaga thing?
Wayne should be a strong digital seller.

I don't even feel the buzz for this album, not like when TC3 was released. He released no #1 hits in the line of "Lollipop."

Many people are even trashing the album, especially here in my city where he's from.

Girl, you in NOLA? I am too! The only songs I hear people mentioning around here are Blunt Blowin' and Interlude (because of Andre 3000)... I wonder who's buying this album, especially since it's getting awful reviews

[hausofbryan]

Good for him, except everyone I know thinks the album is crap.

People need to stop comparing it to Tha Carter III ... Yes Tha Carter III was magical and huge but Carter IV is just as good !! What makes Carter IV lose credit in general public eye is because Carter III was more Pop friendly songs like Got Money, Lollipop , Mrs Officer, Comfortable, Mr Carter were all huge Pop hits that made the album a little more mainstream

Carter IV doesn't really have that
except for How To Love and Mirror... Carter IV is lyrically solid and Wayne delivers some crazy
verses and has a lot of great concepts

Got Money wasn't a pop hit

And for what reason are you mentioning Gaga in a Lil Wayne thread?

:ekk:

The album is garbage, tbh. Why is it selling so much?

Fortunately, he's a flop outside the U.S., so I really don't care.

Just about all rappers are.

It's like the worse the CD, the more it sells.

[Rico Shameless v2]

Well I haven't listened to it due to all the bad reception around my campus. But I hope it sells 1 million just because it's so close. The weekend should see if that will happen.

I guess it will have a miserable drop with the bad word of mouth.

[YM8]

People make me laugh !!! I bet most of you who call the album trash haven't even listened to the messages and lyrics of this album !!! Deep album

What are saying about 21 then?

[Ømega]

Yung money stay ******** iam need Drake to pull in some big numbers next

Nicki, drizzy, lil wayne

[YM8]

How To Love, Mirror, She Will, Nightmares Of The Bottom, President Carter, So Special all have symbolic meanings and crazy lyrics !!

Blunt Blowin, John, Megaman showcase Wayne at his best in rapping through heavy beats !!

[MusicTalker]

I don't get the bad hype. I think it's a lot better than Tha Carter III.

I have not listened to it, but many people are saying that it's a bad album and definitely not on par with Tha Carter III. I'll listen to it tonight to make my judgment.
