  7. It was bound to happen. Lil Wayne's Da Carter series have always out sold Jay Z and Kanye West. I expected it to happen.

    Lil Wayne has more fans but spends his money on assorted drugs and ends up in jail houses.

  8. @anon 1.31- Why would baby buy all the albums? what profit will he make from it? that doesn't make any sense. Reason before you talk. it was pure marketing that achieved that result.Before the album came out, he went on a massive tour around the U.S. the album has a few great tracks like 6.7, she will and its good. he deserves it. If WTT had leaked maybe it would have done platinum within a week.

  9. who cares about that self hating coon? its a shame how many people (especially black women) buy his crap when he openly disses them, especially the dark skinned ones. he will only sing about a "red bone" but cant even talk about a girl his own color or his mama's color. SHAME!!! when will black people WAKE THE FUCK UP! I would rather buy an illuminati kanye or jay-z album before that gremlin!
