473k first week is actually really good.
In the pre-streaming days this would have been a million

Nice to see Wayne winning again. Been a minute

It would not be a million... it would be about the same in terms of sales tbh. Wayne is not as big as he was in 2011...

Just bought the CD from Walmart and started bumping it in my car and realized it was the clean version in the middle of dedicate smh... definitely gotta return that and look for the explicit CD lol

Damn man that’s the worst!

That’s funny, I got the explicit version from Target today (that’s 5x now I’ve paid for C5 lol) ...but I also want the clean version so I can bump it when my baby boy is in the car. We been listening to it on tidal they got clean version. I’m old school tho. I want to load the 6-disc changer wit 4 C5 discs. Lol

I really thought they would’ve had a bonus track on this bitch! Oh well... what we have is officially C5. Now that’s a done deal. not that I’m complaining.. it’s fucking perfection

i have to ask the fam this question that’s been on my mind for a long time but never asked it— I always wondered what the carter 3 would be if it wasn’t in Wayne’s prime? We always crowned C3 as his best! I feel like it was when Wayne was magnificent !! The entire music world was wayne- do you think let’s say tha carter 4 was the album that dropped would we say that was his best album?? I hope you all understand what I’m saying— I always wondered that

Dedicate, mfers!!

any news on uk cd release?

[InWeezyWeTrust]

Working on covers of songs off C5. Doing Famous now. Might do Mona Lisa once I master famous. And ill have some1 get it on video so I can put it on youtube. Lol I suck at cameras. Y I love that some apps have video and audio. Perfect for someone like me.

In the tidal interview CRWN, Wayne said Mack wanted to put out 23 tracks, then surprise drop a second album the next day —— Wayne said no 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I’m just being greedy. For C5’s sake and the legacy it’s definitely better off as is. But I definitely would like more. And i want it as an official release. Not just a mixtape

Nope. It just wasn’t good enough. Remember Wayne was still huge in 2011. People THOUGHT he still was in his prime. Don’t forget that. He got out of rikers, dropped 6’7”... a major sign he was still on a creative high, especially after rebirth and IANAHB

In my opinion, C4 sold as much as it did first week based on the momentum he still had going from C3 era. Only when he really started to fall off did most of us look back at C4 like damn this shit ain’t that good after all.

I was kind of in denial at the time. I know some of y’all still like it.. some even like it more now than y’all did then.. or that maybe it reminds you of a good time in your life or whatever. But as an album, for me, it was the biggest misstep that led him tumbling down the mountain the next 2 years.

D4 was underrated but still passionate. Problematic overall.

Iamahb2 was rock bottom. A disaster.

D5 was not good, save for a handful of tracks.

It wasn’t until S4TW2 that he really began to make fully listenable projects again. FWA was awesome, a landmark imo. NC2 was not for me, but it had its moments fa sho. D6/6R was the best project since og NC. And now C5 is the best since C3. My 2¢ anyway.

They need to do a part 2 to get sales back up... he might not go 2x platinum with C5... Even a deluxe version would be fine... Its definitely been a mula season
