Re: Official Tha Carter IV Discussion Thread

I am thinking something like 900k - 1Mil.

I truly hope that he does at least.

Although , I dont know if it will be bigger than the Carter 3. Only because at the time of the Carter 3, Wayne had Lollipop. Which, as we all know, everyone liked. Also, with Got Money being out there, everyone knew that Wayne was on fire, and was dieing to get their hands on a copy of the Carter 3.

Now, right now, wayne has some very hot songs released recently. Although, they are not radio hits like Lollipop and Got Money.

That is another thing that may or may not hurt the sales of the Carter 4, Wayne doesn't have any "Radio Hits" that are big right now(Atleast not here in Florida). Some people do not know the music that we know because they are not internet listeners. Rather, they are, radio listeners. Driving to and from work, school, ect. on a daily basis. Meaning, they dont know what Wayne is up to , and may not even know that the Carter 4 is being released next month.

I guess, all in all, it can go either way. We will just have to wait and see.

Fuck that, tbh I dont want C4 to be this big mainstream album, im glad there sno big radio hits like Lollipop and Got Money, those songs were wack as fuck. I dont care what the album sells, I just want C4 to be the best album he ever made. I want it to be better than C1 and C2, and so far by what I heard and read it has the potenial, considering Jada, Tech N9ne, probaly Jay-Z and maybe Em, are featured artists. PLus I heard from a few people that Wayne is spitting crazy, so thats a good sign.

Re: Official Tha Carter IV Discussion Thread

I was browsing Facebook last night and around what, 3 in the morning this nigga Wayne posts some "So...." and ten minutes later shit got about 100,000 likes and half as many comments. If he has that kind of influence over people...at 3am...then there should be no worries about album sales. People will go out and buy it, especially if he says "Buy, don't download." Who cares about Non-"Hardcore" fans. His 'hardcore' fans should be all who matter. Fuck how much you sell, worry about how good the product is, and from there the #'s will continually grow.

I feel you on that one. I am the same way. As are most people that are checking HQ. We look for raw tracks, that no one could have imagined. I dont give a shit if they sell only ONE copy of the Carter 4, but you better believe that I will have that ONE copy.

But, when it comes to how many copies will be sold in 1 week, it comes down to who likes what. And, how many people like what he is doing.

There is a difference between pressing a button and going out and spending 15$ or whatever. And all those fans are not from one time zone..

For real, im a true hip hop fan, and a huge Lil Wayne fan, I look for the raw, meaningful songs, none of that club mainstream bullshit. Thats not hip-hop. And considering I was a Wayne fan since C1, im looking for C4 to be hardcore rap with some deep, crazy fucking lyrics and nice ass beats.

Lol @ you only focusing on the less important portion of my point.

DeezyMac, is it your mixtape? The Battlefield :409 ITS DOPE.

Actually that part directly relates to the next sentence. What are you trying to prove? LOL @ you thinking having 24 million fans on Facebook means something when only 2-3% of that total will actually go out and buy it the first week.

" Who cares about Non-"Hardcore" fans. His 'hardcore' fans should be all who matter. Fuck how much you sell, worry about how good the product is, and from there the #'s will continually grow.

Were those 100k likes the hardcore fans?

Re: Official Tha Carter IV Discussion Thread

Look. I'm not ChrisBLawyer. Not looking for a pointless 4 page argument. Lol. But no, it didn't directly relate. Two separate thoughts which I was too lazy to start a new line for. The latter portion (concerning Hardcore vs. Non-Hardcore) is really my whole point. The former portion was simply an acute observation.
