Crystal Ballin': 11 Music Predictions For 2011 | Complex Blog

Lil Wayne Will Release The First Dope Post-Prison Sentence Rap Album In A Long Time
Odds: 1 to 1

Complex says: It's pretty much guaranteed that Lil Wayne will deliver and our most anticipated album of 2011 will turn out as good as we expect it to be. "6 Foot 7 Foot" is awesome, the previous Carters (and several mixtapes in between) were great, and even last year's more forgettable Weezy albums had high points. Lil Wayne isn't Shyne, and we can't imagine him coming back from prison and dropping anything but a banger. It's just a question of how much he's going to sell.

Sales!......Believe it or not... because of what the Carter III has done, it has forced this project to be a "how much" project....Everyone thinks the music is gonna be superb......I just hope he can deliver in sales.....if he can pull 800k -1 mil he is good....

Re: Complex's Music Predictions For 2011

That is so true.

But I know he will sell 500k 1st week at the very least.

I think 800k or around that.

If C4 dropped right now I don't see it selling more than 500K to be honest. Wayne needs to promote the album a lot more if he's gonna seriously drop it in February. He has promoted 6 Foot 7 Foot amazingly with like 4 televised performances of it and other newer hits in December. If he can get the video out for 6'7' this month and drop another commercial single next month then I think we can see C4 at March at the earliest. For it to hit 1 mil he will need to do everything I said above and more. As far as the music goes, the singles have to be dominant in the rap game and have to be some of his best work in a long time.

^^^^^^

I don't believe Wayne is done with the album yet, if he was he would've been promoting non-stop for the Feb. date and a 2nd single would be out by now. I expect a March/April release

Re: Complex's Music Predictions For 2011

TBF I dont't wanna see C4 til at least May cos i know it will be better if its not rushed an damn we been waiting for so long it would be a shame if he just released it straight away. So i think we can expect a few pushbacks and look for ward to a realitic release date of June/July that way with push backs the success of another mainstream no.1 and mae a few remixes to singles perhaps and a lot mmore features on other hit records we could easily see a milli

Re: Complex's Music Predictions For 2011

Pushed back? In all honesty i dont think the album was ever slated to come in Feb....Wayne never knows when his shit is being release....Summer 2011....

- Once the video comes out for 6'7' lets hope radio play increases....and it climb the charts..if it can make it into the top ten one more time its done its job..
- Release a second single.....Put out a song that has the ability to reach number one on the billboards...(have its video ready to go)
- Promo Run- Late night shows, Grammy awards probably performing with Em or Drake,
- Release atleast 2 songs from Dedication 4 ( H.A.M remix and Hustle Hard remix)
- Magazine covers, commercials, do some community shit (charity and talking to kids)
- Release Carter IV in May/June 2011
= 800k - 1 mill sold first week
