Inb4itsnotaboutwhatyouthinkandthatitsaboutpussy

he'll probably come thru like "cause a riot in that pussy call it st louis"

[romanreloaded]

aint he dropping 1 more solo album?

Don't think he is only dropping 1 more.

He got D12 album coming and then probably another solo album, but I don't think it's confirmed that it will be his last one.

So Shady XV sold 138K in the first week... If Wayne sells over 250K i'll know who bought 100K+

I think you made a typo, he sold 148K. That is technically 74K sales because it is a double album so each sale counts as 2 sales. Damn probably Eminem's lowest first-week sales since Inifinite. It has 10 new Eminem tracks too.

in my opinion songs or albums that are released early never get nominated...they forget them...mirror was released on february as a single and i've never seen it on grammys.
maybe i'm mistaken , but that's surely the case in the oscars.

you right. which makes May 5, 2015 look even better for Wayne if more grammy's are in his view.
i promise, if he gives us a mixtape like NC, 18-23 songs, & skits, im good with a push bak to May.

then he drops a HIT, like A Milli or 6ft7ft in early 2015, then a visual & performs it at any big award shows and/or talk shows. then drop a deep, soulful song, im thinking that St. Louis track, a month before then visual 2 weeks before.

Boom, thats a mil in a week, guaranteed. & a few grammy's tbh

"You selling under 150 you niggas got to be kidding!"

[Theonlydjorkaeff]

Many Em fans won't buy the album simply because there are a lot of other rappers, not enough Em songs.

This C5 guessing game really is frustrating, definitely won't help selling the album

Bad Meets Evil EP did loads better

Ahh, hope so man. Just hoping he don't come up with this wack ass SHADY VX shit.

I bump it daily I really love it. Vegas is insanity

As much as I love him, eminem's new shit is all trash. Carter 5 looks like it will b Wayne's first trash/flop Carter album. Unfortunately

Btw I bet Believe Me and Loyal will b nominated for a Grammy. If it is weezy could use that to promo c5. Grammys nomination show dec 6th, Grammys in January I believe

Yeah C5 might be Wayne's first bad Carter.. Maybe thats why they keep pushing back?

Exactly wat insaid earlier.. Just don't know why they lie about dates .. They coulda been truthful and said its dropping in 2015 and no one would be bugging right now

There's no point to announcing a date if you dont plan on keeping it? Its like proposing marriage then constantly pushing the marriage back cause you have cold feet. DONT PROPOSE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

he'll probably come thru like "cause a riot in that pussy call it st louis"

like his emmett till line. distasteful . i reckon he learnt his lesson tbh


the closer we get the more people are going to be bugging out.

In other news, Start a Fire is super catchy and it has been stuck in my head constantly for the last 3 days.. Off Day did the same damn thing. Damn wayne. Damn. Maybe I am a stan and i just dont realise it

Yeah, it's 148, still very low for an album that got heavy promotion. Makes you think what will happen with C5. Doesn't look good so far. But personally I don't care about sales, it's quality that maters.

Bad Meets Evil EP did loads better

Yeah but was that in 2011? That was a good year for hip-hop artists regarding sales. Watch the throne, Carter IV, Take Care all sold 400K+


Edit: Bad Meets Evil sold

171K, so not a big difference

Maybe sales wise but there's no reason to think it won't be miles ahead of c4..dusse moment gotti believe me all lyrically better than anything on c4 besides maybe like 3 songs.

[lilwayne-]

this is actually turning into shadyxv discussion room

Nah it's cause no C4 song was Grammy worthy

[joeycmj]

Nah it's cause no C4 song was Grammy worthy

Mirror was Grammy worthy imo. song was a hit

well this promo seems so logical , that i don't understand wtf is weezy's team (Tez) actually trying to do...

Mirror was Grammy worthy imo. song was a hit

me too , plus it had quality..

Dog wtf are you talkin' about? How you about to say that shit?? Lmfao, especially when we haven't even gotten the FIRST part of the album, let alone the full project which has a second part to it, & that it's a 'Carter' album, that it's going to be the first 'double-disc Carter' as well & have fuckin' 30 plus tracks total to it? Rofl, talk about jumping to conclusions.. and a ridiculous one at that man. We actually need at LEAST the first part to even be able to pass any legitament judgement on this, unless if it's in regards to the songs that have been released, but most of which won't even be on the final product. And with a project of this magnitude in regards to Wayne, his body of work, and his career, you can't even attempt to make a call like that, not as early as it is man... That Wayne has personally said as well that "This one is for the REAL Lil' Wayne fans", and how hard he's been working on this one, while it's potentially the last one closing out 'Tha Carter' series as well.

And because I am, because I consider myself a "Real Lil' Wayne fan", and not a 'Stan' either, I'm not going to sit here and say that it's going to flop and/or be trash when we haven't even gotten an 'official' track list yet man, but I'm not going to say that it's going to be a "Classic" yet either. I need, we need as fans the actual, official project to be able to listen and judge something like this man, if not and you pass judgement either way, that makes you one of those who wants to be 'cool' by hating on Wayne for an attempt at e-fame, and/or makes you a total 'Stan', but either way if you do that shit, it just confirms that you ARE simply, in fact, a jaded fuck. In my opinion anyway. & I'm not saying that YOU are specifically man, I'm just talking in general, not tryin to go at your neck or nothing but you just can't judge something like this when we do not have hardly ANY material from it.
