  • That sounds right, 700-850K its 1st week, but We’ll see. Tha Carter III set a different standard than Tha Carter IV so you can’t just say it’ll reach a mill. We’ll find out the final numbers next Wednesday.

    A millie or not 750k is damn impressive in these days of 100k-200k debuts from most rappers

  • Aaron Ernest

    Lil Wayne is the best rapper period. Wayve>>>>>Jay-z

    I’m an avid Wayne listener… I got this album off the leak and I have to say I wasnt very impressed. I actually was hoping that it wasnt the real album. It really seemed more like one of his mix tapes. Where’s Yeezy? Wheres Jay? Andre 3000 went hard why not put him on a full verse? The song he made with Drake was straight but not very easy on the ears. Seems like the “Best Rapper Alive” could have done some work with the other major names in the game. And whats up with the word play? All i hear is the same shit over and over. I have had the mindset the Wayne is a genius at metaphors and similes not cliches and repetition. I think this was a make or break album for me and I have to say, although im not gonna stop listening to Wayne, YMCMR really let the fans down on this one. Come on weezy we want to hear you go hard, get real and evolve with the trends. PUT SOME FKKIN DUB IN YOUR BEATS BRA!! Whaamp Waaaaamp!! Peace. AP

  • kaoz

    i predicted waynes downfall a couple months back. The ymcmb ship will sink soon. That MMG canoe is next to capsize, watch!

  • Troy

    lolol the song wasn’t that good .. only 6-7 out of 18 songs(deluxe edition is what i have) were good .. i got mine off tha leak .. and to the nikka saying YMCMB will fall .. just get out .. so ur telling me 3 platinum artists will fall ? it’ll be 4 when Tyga releases his sht… Mr.i brought snapbacks back.. and otc do you really think YMCMB will fall with Drake on board? u must be out of your mind .. same with nicki .. their shit is not the same over and over .. wayne will fall but nicki and drizzy definetely wont.. lol MMG .. o yeah sure.. with only Meek Millz and Rick Ross .. no deal.. and Meek Millz isn’t even that good of a rapper .. tsk tsk ..

  • carter4allday

    yea drake and nicki well fall drake sucks he says the same crap over and over again BUT LIL WAYNE FOREVER WHO ELSE CAN SELL THIS MUCH FIRST WEEK IN THESE TIMES ONLY THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE

  • Jon

    I Swear People Don’t Know What’s Real Music. This Album Is Better Than Tha Carter III. This Album Has The Best Lyrics, People That Don’t Like This Album Just Means That Their Too Slow To Understand His Music. This Album May Not Have The Best Beats, But Has A Strong Message In His Music. I Believe That Wayne Will Make A Million. F*** All Wayne Haters!!!

  • u_dris

    This guy is still the best rapper alive! If not who is?

  • Dustin

    With all the bonus track (because about 2 of them are in the top 5 on the album) including the album I think this is his best album yet. I seriously dont think a single song is weak, well other than how to hate. Megaman, President Carter, Blunt Blowin, So Special, I like the view, Novacane, Two Shots, She Will, How to Love, John, 6’7′, Its Good are all classics. Wayne is more than a rapper. Please dont bring up Watch the Throne and that wack ass shit. “Talking bout Baby money? I got your Baby money! Kidnap your bitch get that How much you love your lady money?”

  • Dex

    Did someone say there is a “message” in Carter IV…

    Unless that message is “I’m a blood” I must’ve missed it, there is only 1 or 2 tracks on the whole album that even have direction. The rest are give me a beat so I can spit random metaphors for 3 mins. Yes the album is solid but don’t get carried away…
