[OFFICIAL] Tha Carter V Discussion Thread

[GetRepped]

Seriously the only reason people like drakes better is cause Wayne's first verse was so coded. Talk about over your head.

Yahh bruh, that's definitely the truth right there. Took me and I know many others, on here as well, more then a few listens to grasp everything Weezy was spittin' on this track, it really was straight fire. That's the type of shit I really fuck with, that Wayne that you have to listen too more then a couple times to be able to really break it down, and understand everything that he's put together on the track. Even though I really don't understand how anyone could actually say and really believe that Drake got Wayne on this track, that's definitely the only possible reason that anyone could, just because his verse is so much more simple then Wayne's, and it doesn't take any effort or relative brain power to understand what Drake's spittin on here, while with Wayne it definitely, definitely does.

I hope the next single will be a crossover song. Not something like How To Love but more like She Will, something that can be played on pop radio just so Wayne will have a big hit which will increase the hype for the album at the GP. Maybe at the same time a song like 6 Foot 7 Foot so he'll be on every radio platform. I think this is really important for the album sales, at this point I feel like he'll sell 500k-600k but with a big hit like Lollipop or She Will he could go 700k+ tbh.

I also don't get why he hasn't a VMA performance like back in 2011, where he closed the show. That was great promo. He could use that too tbh.

how was it great promo?

that performance was nothing special and all he did was cause controversy with his pants.

i doubt people watched that and then went and bought the album.

Are you serious?
That was obviously great promo, I believe that day the album was released on midnight on iTunes, so obviously that is the best promo possible, a performance at the VMAs, which is viewed by a lot of people including potential buyers of the album, worldwide. Lol, do you get Marketing. I'm studying it but it shouldn't be that hard to understand...

[freakjasp]

if c5 drops now it will sell around 500k i'd say.
it needs something to increase the hype, beside push backs i mean.
tape would be alright but i don't think we will get one.
documentary would be perfect, what if we get nino brown story before c5?

true.
especially him performing how to love and john.
how to love as "mainstream" song and john as rap song.
probably the best combination for a performance.

YES!
That performance was so epic. Like that whole VMA stage was just Wayne with the whole crowd, including lots of celebrities all going crazy. When walked up to Khaled and Rick Ross, lmaooo it was so epic just all of it. During John he went crazy. It was just insane. I remember watching it and going crazy for the TV. A performance like that again would be amazing.

Exactly. Same on believe me. If there's a full album of this kind of content it's a success. I don't mean have all bangers I mean every song whatever that may sound like needs the same energy, cleverness, hunger.

Predictable lol
