Yeah it was a relatively weak last week for releases and with that and sales drop Lil Wayne has come back to the top. His album ‘Carter III’ continues to sell at a hot pace with 156,000 units moved last week. These days where music sales are weak and singles are the major player, its impressive to see Wayne continue to sell at this pace. However you’ve got to wonder how long can it last. I think it’s easy to predict double platinum before the end of the summer, but will this release catch a little more heat with follow up singles and videos that Wayne has been working on? Is triple platinum a possibility before the end of the year?

Man when I first read that over on the SOHH.com blog I was like it’s got to be taken out of context, let me read this. But I’ll post the quote right here right now and you can tell me what you think of it, because Im about to tell you what I think.

Lil’ Wayne is hands down the Tupac of this generation in that he is a true artist, a world class writer/performer, and he’s not afraid to push the envelop on any level which makes him a true original.

Yes thats what he said and Im about to break it down for you. Im not a Tupac fan and Im not a Wayne fan either, but both men were artists. But really how can you even compare Wayne to Pac, or compare the two to each other on many levels other than they’re both rappers and both sold a lot of albums. But to say he’s the Tupac of this generation, well I cant say I hear Wayne offering much substance to the game. Maybe they both share that they get arrested a bit more than they should have, but Wayne doesnt have near the substance or lyrical talent that Pac had and never will. Im going to hold back for a minute but its just marketing hype. So please lets not start the comparison of Wayne to Pac, just be real and stop the nonsense.

The day has come once again, a new Lil Wayne video has been dropped on the world. It was tonight on BET 106 & Park, the world premiere of Wayne’s new ‘Milli’ video. Thats the song that has spawned what seems like a million remixes. So check out the video and let me know what you think? Is the concept hot, is the video corny, is Wayne really the biggest thing in hip hop? I know the video is probably going to be huge so grab your code and feel free to share it and pass it around.

So it took a minute but as he says in the video Weezy did come back to bless the cam with a little more of himself. He’s here on the set of the ‘Got Money’ video shoot as you can see behind him. Check out the video, he doesnt have a lot to say this time. But thats not really a surprise, because even when he says a lot he’s saying very little.

So I posted up Weezy’s first video blog last week when he thanked the fans for helping him go platinum in the first week. He also did a little talking about the book drive or some shit, who knows exactly because he stays higher than a kite. But he’s back with Weezy Blog #2 this time on the video shoot for ‘Got Money’ and he’s got more to say, even hints at a Weezy Blog #3 coming up real soon. So check it out and see if you can understand what the fuck this dude is talking about.

Shout out to the pussy at QD3 for this one.

As you’ll hear when you watch the video ‘Diddy Blog, Diddy Blog, Diddy Blog’ this is obviously from Diddy’s blog. He’s discussing the secrets of success with Lil Wayne who he says is the hottest rapper in the game right now. So maybe theres something you can learn from watching this if you’re out there trying to make it, maybe not. If nothing else you’ll at least be able to see Lil Wayne high as a kite and talking about what he does and how to do it.

You read that shit right and we discussed it here last week. Lil Wayne will officially be announced as reaching sales of just over 1 million in his opening week of the ‘Carter III’ tomorrow by Billboard. Thats going platinum in a week and hasnt been done since 50 did it in 2005. Kanye didnt even do it with his last release falling short by a little less than 50,000 scans. So Wayne is definitely the hottest rapper in the game today as far as sales go and I can see this album catching serious heat and going double maybe triple by the end of the year. So did you buy this album yet, do you have a review or opinion on it?

Weezy is a happy man and you cant blame him, he just sold more than 1 million albums of ‘The Carter III’ in its very first week of sales and he’ll top the Billboard 200 today. So here’s a little video he says of Day 1 on the Weezy blog and he wants to thank the fans, those of you that bought his album and supported him. It looks to be a big summer for Weezy and he’s always got plenty to say, so with his new blog and videos it’s going to be interesting. How big will sales of ‘The Carter III’ end up being? Im thinking it’s going to end up huge.

Yeah it’s more talk about Lil Wayne and this time Im asking the question I asked last week. Will Lil Wayne hit the 1 million mark this week when Billboard releases the stats. The last album to break the million mark in the first week was 50’s ‘Massacre’ about 3 years ago. With music sales down even a signifigant amount since then this makes Weezy’s sales even more impressive. It appears this release is going to live up to the hype. So make your predictions now because the numbers will be in soon. I’ll tell you that as of Friday Wayne had over 600,000 in sales, so with a hot weekend he could be on pace to hit platinum in just one week, what do you think?

Thats right that shit is official right there. Lil Wayne’s ‘Carter III’ according to Billboard scanned over 423,000 in sales on the very first day of sales. That’s pretty fucking impressive considering the way music is selling these days. In the past several months 423,000 units in the opening week would get you the #1 spot on Billboard 200. So it’s a lock that Lil Wayne will open with the #1 spot. That was never in doubt for me even though Im not a fan. The real question is will Wayne be able to go platinum in one week or will sales taper off a bit and put him somewhere in the 750,000 area for the week? Its just like they always say all publicity is good publicity. Controvery or not, stupid comments and arrests there’s no doubt after this that Wayne is the biggest star in hip hop like him or not!
