IANAHB rumored sales projections

[VerdantChrysallis]

I rather see Wayne sell 200k with singles like Love me, than to see him sell a milli with soft ass songs like How To love....lol

The first IANAHB did 200k first week too, why we gon' act like this didn't happen to him...how much did Rebirth do first week?

part one was barely promoted
it was released about a month after it was announced with only one single

Could be right, but y'all crazy thinking that's how it will stay. You can't predict that shit on one day people..

Timber lake was projected like 750K to start and each day it jumped and he ended up selling 980K.

you can predict sales from one day
all of them get predicitions
but the day isnt over yet, so cant say predictions yet

I remember when C4 came out, someone tweeted that he sold more C4 album on the first day than he sold WTT albums for a full week...

I wish he'd do that. I don't know if he can close Carter 5 out right anymore to be honest.

We'll see about that when the time comes, because we really don't know. Wayne changes so much every year it's ridiculous, so who knows what the fuck Wayne will be about, or what he'll be like whenever that album finally comes out. But, if that's really going to be his last album, and he continues to say it's going to be, i can't see him disappointing, too early to tell but i can't see him going out like that and NOT releasing a classic album imo. I could be wrong, but we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully Wayne sees how much he's been slacking if these numbers come back shitty, and when he slows down with the fucking skateboarding.

/And someone needs to fucking tell him to use his genius and put his bars and rhymes together more clever, and stop using all these filler lines with all this pussy and dick talk. He can do ALOT better than that, and it's all these yes men around him telling him everything he fucking spits is fire, when it's not. He can do better and he needs to hear that and know it. And play a bigger roll in putting together his albums.

You think the name "Tha Carter" would boost Wayne chances to sell more albums the first week tho?

I don't think so tbh, I think the reason C3 sold a milli first week is because it was Wayne on his prime, and C4 went a milli because everybody wanted to see what Wayne can do after jail..

if C5 has singles like the ones in IANAHB2 then Wayne will end up selling even less that 200k.

Wayne needs to stop music for the whole 2013, release an album at the end of 2014 with some hunger on him just like how eminem did when he came back with relapse...shit went triple platinum lol.

Carter really holds a lot of hype to it though. Those albums have high expectations.. I think the worst part is that Wayne put the high expectations up there himself with C2, C3 Sessions, and C3. Just the name itself I feel will bring up hype. Not only that, you can't forget this is supposed to be Wayne's final album. Him ending his career with this album will have the hype up alone from a lot of people.

And it's impossible to predict what Wayne will give us. His style changes so much that we'll never know if he comes out of nowhere with an insanely deep Carter album. Nobody knows.

I thought it was obvious that Wayne doesn't care about rapping anymore, his passion is gone. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to retire this year, dude changed the game forever and gave you people music that will last for a lifetime. Plus he helped his two proteges turn into superstars and has passed the torch. He's done enough and he doesn't owe anyone anything. It's time for him to do something else

Respect to the future legend Weezy though

[Gman918]

Yea his wonder years can hold me over. When I sat down and think about it. Wayne peak was still better than most ppl careers. Haha. He should just hang it up though and let his legacy live

In my opinion he should end up his career on a decent note for his fans, it doesn't have to be Carter 2-3 good but better than all the trash he put out since No Ceilings.. He on a terrible streak right now. Yes he has left a big impact on hip hop but I feel like the last 2-3 years have hurt his legacy a lot.

i could be wrong, but i dont think thats true
WTT sold 436,000 in its first week
thats a lot
i believe it did that digitally on iTunes the first few days though

I dunno...just remember that....

I mean the album went a milli first week, it could have sold atleast over 300k albums that first day when Wayne came out the AMA's with them tight ass pants singing How to Love at the end of the show..

The only person that would get hurt if the album sells less than 200k first week is the Stunna man...he sees most of the money, nigga gonna be like "Playboi, you ain't doing it right...go wear dem skinnies and sing about insecure women, yo daddy needs a new Lamborghini"

I Like How Everybody Says " The New Wayne Sucks " , And He Drops This Shit , And Eveybody Changes They Mind , No This Its Not a Carter Album , But It Will Do Good In Sells!

[DrewBooMcNasty]

Shit's going Gold for sure though, I mean it's not a Carter, and Justin Timberlake's album came out this week too. Love Me's a dope single though, and if R.A.F. gets more radio play i think it could be popular as hell. I'm sayin overall (not in the first week) I think it'll do 450,000. That seems pretty realistic I think.

I honestly am confused af. I do not understand what's so bad about Wayne now as opposed to NofuckinCeilings. Drought 3? Carter 3? Fuck yeah. I can follow his decline from there. But this shit isn't even bad, unless the different styles is what makes it bad.

Ppl sayin Wayne fell off coz his album ain't selling as much as his other albums...

Which is something I understand, I mean it would be a flop to "Wayne" if a promoted rap album he releases sells something like 200k first week, but the music in the album is still dope to me, and this album been on reply for the whole week since it leaked and it still is on repeat...
