Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 8/28/2011

    Game got a #1 album, within a margin of 5,000 units.

    Compton, California emcee Game got his first #1 in nearly five years, since The Doctor’s Advocate. The Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records star’s R.E.D. Album slid by Jay-Z & Kanye West’s Watch The Throne to take the throne at just under 100,000 first-week units sold. R.E.D. features 2011 sensations Tyler, The Creator, Kendrick Lamar and Lex Luger, along with album narration by Game’s mentor, Dr. Dre.

    Beyonce’s 4 slipped out of the Top 10. The Destiny’s Child alum’s fourth solo offering features an appearance by Outkast’s Andre 3000, along with production from Kanye West and his production team – including Jeff Bhasker, as well as a writing credit to former G.O.O.D. Music artist Consequence.

    Royce Da 5’9 and Eminem (as Bad Meets Evil) and their album, Hell: The Sequel fell two more spots. As of now, the Motor City natives are gradually approaching 500,000 units sold, which would earn Royce his first plaque from the RIAA.

    Frequent Em collaborator Rihanna and her 2010 release, Loud, climbed 17 units to re-enter the Top 20. The Def Jam Records release is fast-approaching 1.5 million units sold.

    G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean is on the cusp of 200,000 units sold with his debut album, Finally Famous: The Album. The Detroit, Michigan emcee was executive produced by No I.D., who recently took an executive position at Sean’s parent label, Def Jam.

    Ace Hood‘s Blood, Sweat & Tears fell 28 spots. The Miami, Florida rapper and DJ Khaled protege sold over 6,000 units in his third week. The rapper’s third album features Yo Gotti, Lil Wayne and Drake. 

    Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame‘s Brick Squad 1017 project,  Ferrari Boyz crossed the 25,000 mark. The Warner Brothers Records project features production from Drumma Boy, as well as in-house hit-makers Lex Luger and South Side.

    OFWGKTA‘s Tyler, The Creator climbed an awesome 92 spots with Goblin. The XL Recordings release nearly left the charts earlier this month, before winning an MTV “New Artist” Award on Sunday night – beating out Wiz Khalifa. Goblin is now at #96.

    Royce Da 5’9‘s Success Is Certain is at #152. Nickel Nine’s self-proclaimed “last solo album on an independent” featured some impressive help, such as Eminem, Travis Barker and Joe Budden. The work is a thematic update to Royce’s sophomore album, 2004’s Death Is Certain.

    1. y’all haven’t include Tech N9ne’s numbers in the last month (and he’s outsold Tyler the Creator every one of those weeks except probably this one)

      still, I was hoping to see if there was any sort of chart bounce for Tech after so many people hearing him on the leak.

      maybe next week.

    2. Game only sold 98,000? haha thats awful! Watch Throne sold the same and its BEEN out…i mean games album is GOOD…but he made fun of G units sales-which were in a bad economy-and look at his sales…haha hey game go diss jay again for more publicity-it aint workin bro!

    3. Game should have promoted his album more instead of talking about Jay-Z in every interview- his 1st week #’s are the same as WTT 3rd week #’s… #FAIL!!!

    4. Listen up little kids. Da Homie Game just beat Jay z. The Blood got the number one album in the country. Now once my son wayne numbers come in next week we going see who really watchin the throne. We da bidness 100 mil dolaz.

      1. 12 number 1 albums 20 year career haah tour about to start a 3month tour please wayne and baby can kiss the throne

      1. no fool he shelved it after his songs got leaked like games album. game owe his career to 50 game needs rap money 50 dont

      2. yeah he said fuck interscope for the leak and game stans was like they shelevd his album no man he puuled his own album back 50 a boss

      3. Lolz Game Las Two Cdz Kill N E Thin 50 Put Out Since Massacre So Yea I Believe Interscope Heard Wut 50 Claims To B A Single “Im On It” N Juz Started Laffin At How Far 50 Has Fallen Off

      4. you stupid curtis is a platinum album the single from that album i get money is 2X PLATINUM bisd is gold LAX didnt go platinum and red wont go gold

      5. lolz i wuznt talkin bout sales im talkin bout music of corse 50 gunna outsell game juz like game outsells da rest of g-unit everytime he drops im juz sayin music wise 50 las two cds been trash while game has put out quality music..banks only g-unit memeber puttin out good music face it 50 done n hiz las cd 2 years ago sold 160k while l.a.x 240k so les see if 50 can even hit 90k wit da bullshit singles he puttin out “im on it” hahaha

    5. Lloyd Banks should do a “soundscan” record. I really believe that if The Game would’ve focus more on HIP-HOP than BEEF he would;ve been good now.

      – a Game fan

    6. games album probaly would have sold more he didn’t have push back so much, that only lessesn people interest in your stuff.

      2 more weeks hell the sequel is going gold finally

      1. hell nooooooooo that album has no replay value what happened to his red nation they said fuck this trash

      1. on a major label you crazy man he owe alot for those features marketing this is a business dont be surprised if he dont release anymore singles or videos smh 3 year wait for a 1 week run

    7. game career goes like this the documentry sold because of 50 singles on it doc advocate sold because of dre left over tracks and game and 50 beef and LAX and RED just suck

    8. 98k’s not bad for a vet.. Game still has his roots in tact and hasnt gone completely commercial like wayne and kanye who are POP RAPPERS

    9. thats a fail to be on a major label with all that promotion that nine times out ten he paid for haha. next will he will do 1/3 of what he did this week and each week he will drop 1/3 he is not even going to go gold. but he a least has bragging rights that he beat jay z so he should be able to at least stay in the rap game some how.

    10. 98k!? Really!? SMDH
      This Nukka Was Looking Down On Fif For Selling 150k FIrst Week.
      Bum Ass Nukka Now Looking Up Looking For Fif!
      Karma Is A Bitch AInt It? lmfao

      1. And Wen 50 Drop I Think Hiz Numbers Will B Worse Interscope Not Even Tryna Let Hiz Music See Da Light Wit Dat Trash He Puttin Out Lolz

      1. Are you out of your mind? Lil Wayne did not put out the album of the year. I have heard mixtapes this year that were better. The album is not good, hence why it has poor reviews. People for some reason like this dude but it is what it is. Sometimes I am very disappointed in the people who claim to be apart of the culture. Really, he is a blood who wears spandex leopard pants, skateboards, and is a rocker but yet no sees the lies in this. He grew up in the spotlight pretty much but he has tear drops like he has ever killed someone…please. I am from Brooklyn and though I do not condone the buffonery of gangs, I know real gangstas and they kill for real and wouldn’t have anything to do with this cat.

        It is a shame the nonsense people buy into.

      1. 1 week yeah but when wayne album drop wtt sales will be very close to carter 4 and the 3 month tour starts soon wtt will sell for the rest of the year

      2. The album leaked a week ago so its not like ppl got bamboozled…Ppl pay for good music from relevant artist

    11. For all the features on the Red Album, being on a major….those numbers are really low. Also considering how long some have been waiting for this album, Game must be a bit disappointed.

      1. Really? Damn… I dont even like Wayne but you have to admit he’s killing the game. I’m glad hes selling more then Eminem. lol

      1. He Outsold Lil B Big Sean Ace Hood Gucci N Flocka Banks He Raped Em All In 1st Week Sales Only Guys Sellin Now Is Em Jay Kanye Wayne Drake N Sadly Nikki Doze Da Only Guys Movin ittin Pas 200K Pluz Witout A Problem

    12. Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame sold more than Royce da 5’9…cmon son 28,000 retards bought that..stop that shit man…im starting to think that ppl are the one who destroyed this culture

      1. you think????

        you are starting to think people are the ones who destroyed the culture?

        no shit sherlock, who else would it be?

    13. Game shoulda sold more : great album : better den wayne’s trash & y’all rite : sadly he is gonna sell like crazy but he ain’t passin wtt : tha carter III had like 5 singles that were top 10 or round that & this album ain’t got ish but she will & i ain’t even lik that ish

    14. I’m the fuckin general, I RUN MY CLIQUE RIGHT!
      It was five of us, ALL of us millionaires
      Now one’s a fuckin junkie, and one’s a fuckin queer

    15. Man I was looking for that RED album, had some really good tracks but I didn’t even know that shit dropped!

      Besides Game talking mad shit I haven’t heard anything about this album outside of hip hop sites. You know why Lil Lame is selling 800,000 units first week?.. cuz the clown has a ton of tv commercials airing all leading up to the VMA’s which has mad viewers.

    16. When I said I’ll kill ya, I’ll kill ya, as a kid I wasn’t kiddin then
      Special ed kid in the back on Ritalin
      Crib all fucked up, hooptie all fucked up
      Pockets all fucked up, now nigga wassup?
      I’m rcih now, niggas know about my dividends
      Look at the Raw Report, check out what I’m livin in
      Fuck a spot now, I’m ’bout to buy a yacht now
      Crib the size of the New York City BLOCK now

      1. BISD > red….its funny how when BISD leaked a whole month early n the people who downloaded it said that it was HOT but when he moved 170k people screaming FLOP! 50 debuted 5 on the top 200, #1 on the hip hop charts but you know who else debuted on that same week: RIHANNA #1, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE #3, n some rock band #4 n RiRi pushed 70K more than 50 but niggaz love to hate tho smh. Game knows cant co-exist debuting with anybody on the charts

    17. even though C4 kinda sucks, buts still gonna sell. but thats gonna back fire on wayne because as soon as weezy fans/stans realize that it sucked, they’ll lose faith in him n C5 will flop hard. EX: 50’s worst album was CURTIS but it still sold anyways because he had that momentum but he let his fans down including me n 50 paid the price for it because BISD was better than CURTIS but when it dropped his fans that he disappointed from the last album didnt cop it. MAINSTREAM fans are the most fickled! but wayne will survive because he switched the style up (skateboarding, rock n roll, leopard leggins) to cater the white crowd but 50 kept it real like the thorough southside nigga he is! RIP HIP HOP?

      1. naw not really but ok red is the best album out hiphopdx gave it 3 stars as popular as he is they know a wack album when they hear one it selling of the carter that all

    18. i love how people keep trying to compare 50 cent to lil wayne. first of all lil wayne has been in the rap game way longer than 50. his debut album came out in 1999 (4 years before 50 dropped get rich or die tryin) and went platinum. secondly he has never sold below 500k which mean’s he has been very consistent. 50 cent came out flying selling 7 million of his first album, second album came out and did 5 then he fell all the way to a million with his 3rd cd. finally when his fourth one dropped and people realized he was never really that good of a rapper anyway, he didn’t even sell 500k. so the drop off is crazy. lil wayne threw out i am not a human being with no video’s and still is going to break a million. he is way more popular then 50 cent has ever been and if he came out with tha carter 3 in 2003 with the popularity he has now he would have sold 10 million copies.

      1. you talking C5 allready haters looking to the future for homie to fall yal said he was done after C3 what happend

        my g 50 came in the game and sold off beef wayen been selling since block is hot 1998

        50 came and went wayne still here

      2. true from a popular point but every still has to give 50 credit because he invented to blueprint to creating a buzz n thats the MIXTAPES! if youre old enough to remember, 50 n gunit had the industry shaking just off mixtapes! n when get rich dropped, he was STILL realsing mixtapes. that was unheard of for a MULTI-platinum arist to release a FREE mixtape. the industry caught on n now everyone n their grandmamas are releasing mixtapes now. YES 50 did lose steam but as a RATIONAL fan(not like his other dick riders) 50 burned himself out putting out mixtapes. 50’s mixtapes > his last two albums!

        congrats to wayne tho

      3. if u r gonna compare 50 cent to lil’wayne:
        1.sales=no question is 50 cent
        2.classic albums= can argue but lil’wayne is not on same level as 50 cent n that g.r.o.d.t.&massacre gangster style
        3.skills= lil’wayne will prob. take it if it’s just freestyling…..
        4.success= 50 cent,not because of just money but overal 50 cent doen’t need to make muwic anymore….he has world wide hustles…..lil’wayne doesn’t
        5. Credability= 50 cent, 50 is authinic……no question on things he’ve done n his past…..lil’wayne????yea.
        mix tapes: could argue both……but i would give it to 50 cent….50 dissed jay-z on a mix tape and caught jay-zs attenton so u could imagine how big his mix tape game was back then “BEFORE” he blew up….lil’waynes mix tapes mostly r after fact he already on.

      4. @JOE thats false bisd had two singles crack the top 10 and 1 cracked the top 20 game single never passed 62 hahah

    19. Game still the best rapper alive wit the #1 album in the world.. not the #16 album like loyed blanks lol.. Game still keepin it hood unlike waynes skinny jean wearin how 2 love ass. He’s not tryna sell for white college girls and boys

      1. Keep in mind that Game first week sales only surpassed Lloyd Banks by about 40,000 discs. Thats not a lot especially when you consider that Game made fun of Banks sales. Also, Game had ads everywhere for that damn RED album and he couldn’t even top 50’s BISD! This looks like a Game fail to me.

      2. yeah but banks had BBB a high charting single

        game not, so you can tell by the sales that only games corefanbase bought that album

        98k just by your corefanbase in the us & 300 ww is fuckin good imo

      3. banks will neva outsell game get over it 2006 rotten apple came out n didnt sell shit game cameout a month later sold twice as much n now game outsells em again so stop comparin em ya keep sayin well he indie now but guess wut he indie for a reason cuz he got DROPPED n i bought HFM2 by the way it wuz good cd made hiz combak from dat rotten apple crap he put out n a good cd comapred to 50 las 2 cds but R.E.D Iz a betta cd

      4. banks is indie game is mainstream he got dropped cuz he wasnt making music soon as he dropped bbb insterscope wanted him back but he decided to go indie FUCKING ASSHOLES get your shit right b4 u say something lol

    20. Yo Allen Jacobs(Writer of this article) Ace Hood is from Broward County, get it right. Miami is a diff county and he’s always reppin broward so make sure u put BROWARD on the map, not MIA.

    21. I hear people saying he flopped but you can’t forget that Game usually sells better overseas.

      The Documentary – 2.5 U.S million — 5 million worldwide

      Doctor’s Advocate – 969,000 – 4 million worldwide

      LAX – 660,100 – 1 million worldwide

      Red Album – 98,000 first week – 300,000 worldwide first week.

    22. You fake fans nid to STFU, y do kip complaining abt rappers. U fans want only wat u think is gud but things have change a lot.

      1: 50 Cent – U fans want Get Rich or Die tryin material, while Curtis and BISD were good albums.

      2: Lil Wayne – Wezzy came out wit C4 and u sill complaining.

      3: Game – R.E.D album and yet u guys say it’s he’s worst.

      4: Lloyd Banks : Banks had the best album in 2010 but u fans slept on it and say it flop.

      I don’t unerstand y fans kip complainng, do u want the rappers to kill themselves bcuz they wanna please HELL NO!!! If u don’t wanna listen to them then don’t and STFU.

    23. if u r gonna compare 50 cent to lil’wayne:
      1.sales=no question is 50 cent
      2.classic albums= can argue but lil’wayne is not on same level as 50 cent n that g.r.o.d.t.&massacre gangster style
      3.skills= lil’wayne will prob. take it if it’s just freestyling…..
      4.success= 50 cent,not because of just money but overal 50 cent doen’t need to make muwic anymore….he has world wide hustles…..lil’wayne doesn’t
      5. Credability= 50 cent, 50 is authinic……no question on things he’ve done n his past…..lil’wayne????yea.
      mix tapes: could argue both……but i would give it to 50 cent….50 dissed jay-z on a mix tape and caught jay-zs attenton so u could imagine how big his mix tape game was back then “BEFORE” he blew up….lil’waynes mix tapes mostly r after fact he already on

      1. Agree with most of it except the classic album part. Exactly what classic album does Wayne have? None of his albums come close to GRODT or The Massacre. Shit, I was bumping the Massacre last week but I havent listed to any of the Carters in years.

      2. WTF are you Talkin about, I Don’t Even Rock With Lil Wayne that Much and I can See that EveryThing You Just Said is Completely False About 50 Compared to Wayne. As Gay as This Lil Dude appears to Look smh, he’s Still Way More Relavent, and Gets More Sale, Better Albums,Mixtapes,he’s Better in every Category! Was 50 Even at the BET Awards or MTV awards or any other Thing Relavent?? 50 is Washed up, and Lil Wayne is Better and he Fell off a Little. I Will Stick With Jay-z Kanye and Lupe though,cause those 3 will Always put out Quaility Music!

    24. Funny I see nobody talking Abt world wide sales but when your Fav Rapper sales your bring worldwide sales up that’s good Game did that in the U.S. NOW let’s break down the rest album #1 in the world ! 96,418 copies sold in the U.S.. 47,016 in Canada… 68,135 in Europe.. 16,003 in Asia … & 42,801 in Aus !!! That’s like 300,000 stop hating even if it sold 5 copies its good music

      1. YOU WANT TO TALK INTERNATIONAL SALES

        The International Diamond Club is elite group of rappers who have sold 10+ Million not only in the U.S. but, world wide. Including 50 Cent, Will Smith, Tupac, The Notorious BIG, Eminem & Outkast. Some of you may be thinking what about Nelly, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West and many other Muti-Platinum selling artist? International sales did not scan 10+ Million.

        To this date 50 Cent’s 2003 debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ has sold over 15,915,010 world wide. 8,489,000 copies sold in the U.S. alone.

        Will Smith’s 1997 album Big Willie Style which spawed the hit’s “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” & “Miami” has sold over 16,085,250 copies and ove 9 Million in the United States.

        Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G both have sold well over 19 Million records world wide. Tupac’s All Eyes On Me and The Notorious B.I.G’s Life After Death.

        The 2003 album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below became Outkast’ bigges album todate coming in at over 13 million sold as of August of 2010.

        The Marshall Mathers LP was Eminems second studio album going on to sell over 25 Million copies world wide, making him the highest selling artist in rap/hip-hop.

        Side Note: 50 Cent is the only one on the list to have two albums reach Diamond status world wide: 2003’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin & 2005’s The Massacre

    26. when Wayne’s shit drops its gonna see Taylor Swift-like numbers, so dont even compare these irrelevant niggas like Game and 50 to Wayne.

      WTT is gonna look like a flop in comparison to Carter 4.

      1. it funny how you praise a guy that like to wear woman clothing i,ll stick to irrelevent rapper then gurly ones

    27. LMAO EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE A FLOP COMPARED TO THE GOATS NEXT WEEK SALES THANKYOU BEST RAPPER ALIVE I LIVE FOR YOU TUNECHI THE FUCKING GAWD LORD OUR SAVIOR

      1. Let me guess. You are 15, have no friends, have never seen a pussy outside of your computer monitor, and you spent your summer playing Mario Wii and watching Wayne concert videos.

    28. I read people are still on numbers fuck sake nobody gonna sell like they did 6 years ago albums leak earlier & spread faster than way back plus labels are not willing to risk as much as they did due to internet downloads.
      I don’t get when people start hating on 50 but follow his lead (no pun) when it comes to sales he done started that shit hard an everybody follows suit you hardly hear emcee’s bragging these days cos they knows those times are gone.
      I’ve never been 1 to feed into he sells she sells shit because we all know labels/artists cop a few plus there has been albums in the past (also present & no doubt future) which sell due to singles, remixes or features but all round material is fucking bullshit.
      R.E.D. fucking impressed me after all the delays I got sceptical but Game pulled I do rank Jay above him but fuck me Watch the Throne (only stand outs for me No Chruch in the Wild, New Day, That’s My Bitch & Joy) didn’t live up to the hype or title plus he got out shun by his student Kanye I was happy with Hell: The Sequel just skips Lighters which is understandable.

    29. Outta all of the “big” releases Game’s Red album was the most masculine. Im not a big fan of Game either but WTT and Carter IV were filled with too many no homo moments.

      1. what? talkin about fatherhood and kids killin each other over a flag is homo moments a song dedicated to a kid being killed by police.jay-z going at the old roc roster homho moments what the fuck do you listen to

      2. Those songs you speak of make up about 4 songs on the entire WTT album. The rest is dedicated to shopping and designer fashions.

      3. what? illest motherfucker alive the joy yall some haters you rather hear a rapper shooting niggas than talk about problems with white america

    30. most of the sales for this album are probably thanks to purp and patrone. THAT was a classic and it was a mixtape.

    31. Game needs to stop dissing Jay Z, and he’ll sell 250 a week…it don’t matter if he is #1, but 98 000 is weak…wasn’t he laughing @ Lloyd Banks a year ago for selling the equavalent amt?

    32. Billboard now reports Lil Wayne’s first post-prison album, Tha Carter IV, may sell between 850,000-900,000 by week’s end on Sept.

      LOL @ the haters who thought Wayne was fading away

    33. i bought games album, there are 5 good tracks on it. However most of it isnt that good, its really mainstream. Lil waynes is better so he deserves to sell the numbers he does

    34. i realy hate wayne fans i really do the look at him as god and everybody else peace of shit rappers if u want to like wayne that cool but he not god ok he not as great as you think he is he goes at jay and that all he got this album got 3 stars because it sucks the singles aint worse a damn they are mixtape songs and the only reason why they are in the top 10 or what ever is because of who puting it out he can put out shit and it will become hot r.e.d may not be a classic but it better then c4 b.i.s.d is better then c4 and how is wayne more popular then 50 ever was when all his album put together dont even equal massacure sales

    35. i think waynes projected sales is way outa hand i thnk he’ll sell about 438,000 1st week a more realis-tic figure!

      1. I agree.

        In these economic conditions, I can’t see any rapper selling higher than 600k (unless you are certain white rapper with legions of stans).

        Based on the singles released, IMO, they’ve been mediocre compared to Tha Carter III, and aren’t as hypeworthy (not that I actually raved about C3’s singles myself – they weren’t much to talk about).
        I don’t live in the US, so I can’t really speak for what’s popping there, but if these singles are riding this album’s predicted massive success, then they must be shoving this shit down people’s throats real hard.

        If these 800K predictions are to be believed, I must say that it’s these types of things that give me little faith in the positive progression of hip-hop and music in general.

      1. actually game dropped 6 failed singles dating back to 09 n wtt dropped 2 weeks after otis single dropped….who’s fanbase is more loyal???

      2. it aint about being loyal to an artist, its about being loyal to good music so whoever is putting good shit im going to buy it. i bought red, dissapointing (ricky my city, good bad ugly fucken sick tracks but the rest weak), i bought wtt pretty damn good, and i bought c4 which has its moments.

    36. The Throne have learned that nothing lasts forever as their ‘Watch The Throne’ album has been bumped from the top spot on the United World Album Chart. However, despite a 51% sales decline, the record still nabbed the #2 spot with over 250K units sold.

      ‘Watch The Throne’ sold 252K copies in this week but was ousted from the peak position by Smap’s ‘Smap Aid’, which sold 283K. Nevertheless, ‘Watch The Throne’ has now accumulated an impressive 765K copies in only 2 weeks.

      Adele’s ’21′ landed at #3 with sales exceeding 224K units. After an incredible 30 weeks in the tally’s top 10, the LP has moved over 9.03 million copies at retailers around the world and is the top-selling of 2011 to date.

      Singles making moves on the United World Track Chart included Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera’s ‘Moves Like Jagger’, which jumped to #1 with over 329K downloads. The record replaced LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem (Ft. Lauren Bennett & Goon Rock)’ , which fell to #2 with 290K.

    37. so when wayne album drop he will only be ahead but not by much and lets see if he can get a 3 month tour booked for his album.i doubt it

    38. game career goes like this the documentry sold because of 50 singles on it doc advocate sold because of dre left over tracks and game and 50 beef and LAX and RED just suck its over

      1. hey dumbass, the only reason why he is still on the charts is because of the award, which was well deserved, but don’t talk shit about tech because his album was alot better than goblin

      2. Yeah doing a 62 date tour is good and all, but A LOT of All 6’s and 7’s is filler. Admit it. “You Owe Like Pookie?” Really? You know Tech is better than that. Even “Bitch Suck Dick” from Goblin was better than that because you knew that song was a straight joke song. Going on tour for 62 days and being outsold by a 20 year old with an ill YouTube vid is a problem. I love Tech, but you and I know that Tyler’s album isn’t on the top 200 just because of the awards. Seeing as how All 6’s and 7’s fell off the chart 2 weeks ago, chump.

    39. I do more than talk that I mu’fuckin walk that
      Blue Yankee cap back, fuck around get CLAPPED AT
      I sleep with the stainless I walk with the stainless
      Man everybody know about 50 I’m famous

      Ask Dread at the weed spot I come through in the mean drop
      In different boroughs I have different moments
      On different days niggas know how I’m on it
      I’m pretty like a Harlem nigga, I’m a shooter like a Brooklyn nigga
      I’m a hustler don’t get no bigger
      Queens, SouthSide ’til they bury me

      When they bump heads with me, they find out the guns do bust!!!
      We gettin paper In God We Trust!!! (SUCK ON THIS NIGGA!!!)

      BISD>>>>>>>>>>>>>RED

      1. yeah they just say red is a classic but nobody want to talk lyrics just funny lines game has no bars at all

    40. U guys are missing the point….the problem is that while Game created a very solid album and while he’s shown consistency by getting better each album he’s sales are mediocre. You should judge sales not by the climate of the industry but by your competition and by your own sale history. The reality of it is Games first album sold 5 million domestically which is more then any Kanye or Wayne’s album. And while Game has shown growth in his music he buzz is sinking due to his personality, biopalris, and consistent beefs that he starts. The problem with Game is he has identity issues both personally and musically. He goes back and forth with the beefs between 50 & Jay and on the mic he consistently bits other peoples styles instead of sticking to his own (like we hear on tracks like “the city”, “born in the trap”, and Mama Knows”) Now while both Jay & Kanye have never done 50 and Em numbers, they have always remained consistent with their music which allows them to continuously go Platinum. To think not to long ago Game was outselling Wayne but now Wayne is the biggest selling hip hop artist.

      I’m as big a Game fan as anyone….I’ve bought all four of his albums, have all his mixtapes and has seen him a couple time on tour, but I have to call it how I see !!!

      1. buying music? fuck that its called frostwire/pirate bay. Only artists I buy are marvin gaye and john legend for my collection

      2. Here is my rule. If you talk about how much money you get. I’m not buying your album.

        You don’t need mine.

      3. Well thats just not true, your really saying that “Doctor’s Advocate”-Game is not as good as “LAX”-Game? Or even this “RED Album”-Game? Thats just silly. While Kanye and Wayne have created a consistency of good material, Game has flip flopped all over the place, and hasn’t even got a consistent flow. If you listen to this new album, if theres a feature on the song, you bet his going to do his best impression. Kanye and Wayne have carved out their own niche and style where you know what you get from them and their personality, Game you just never know.

      1. slipknot dont really matter though, maybe to clowns like you they do but game isnt competing with them, this is hip-hop album sales

    41. They putting presure on me son they want me to snap
      End up like X and whitney in my mansion smokin crack
      I’m parrionoid I’m feeling like niggas are trying to get me
      Forget the kids I’m shavin off my head like fucking brittney
      Man dre wont mix my reconds now I need to talk to jimmy
      I’m falling back in my old ways I’m riding with my semi
      Who’s calling me its Chris he’s on the other line with diddy
      But I dont want to talk right now my day is goin shitty
      Why J rockin that erclie look isnt he from marcy?
      They say hes growin dreads and hes talking like a yatti
      Man everything is changing I dont understand a thing
      I guess this is that bullshit money brings

    42. 50>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>game

    43. props to da game, he said it will go #1 and it did. but we all kno C4 will be #1 next week and maybe for a few weeks

      1. of course he went number 1 why he didnt release his album the same day as WTT and 3 weeks later he only beat WTT by a few thousand copies in the U.S. worlwide please game OVER

    44. was a fan of games frist two albums but ni he has to many wack rappers and wack producers making his shit i mean the documentary and doctors advocate were classics but lax and red album suck dick dint even deserve number 1 just getting lazy

    45. I am really disappointed in the sales of R.E.D., hottest album of the year so far, much better than watch the throne but I guess Game cant move units like Ye and Jay. However I also think there was lack of promo, when I was biggin up the leak to my niggas a lot of them didnt even know what RED was.

      Carter IV a milli in one week? Average album at best but will still probly move 200G. Fuck numbers tho im waiting on the Ecology

    46. if we compare Game album and Banks album there is a big difference Game’s CD coast 12.19$ if we take that he sold 98000 CD first week that’s means he made 1 194620$ and because he is on major company (interscop) he just get like 10% of that amount but let’s give him 20 % that’s means he will get 238924$.but if we take Banks CD on independent he sold 50000 ans his CD coast 15.19$ which means he got like 759500$ but remember that he was not on major label so all the money is his!! but let’s say he will get like 50% of that amount that’s means 379750$ so he still rich than the Game.is just an example how people should see things …. never compare a person on independent with a person on major label … there is big difference trust me.

      1. if you have an idea of what he is talking about why don’t give the write idea asshole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Internet smart guy …..!!!hahaha

      2. You say all the money is his like he didn’t have to pay to have it printed up on CD or give iTunes a cut like everybody else.

        Yeah, Banks makes a better margin as an independent, but don’t sit there and act like every dollar is going right into his pocket.

      3. It s just an example man and I gave Banks 50% of the amount …but Game won’t get even 10 % of his sale’s amount !!!!!!

      4. ya should stop wit da banks game shit the game outsld em everytime hfm1 and documentry game killed em rotten apple and doctors advocate withn a month apart game killed em t.o.s l.a.x withn a month apart game killem get da point …deres a reason banks got dropped n game still major n he outsold em again das 4-0 sweep in most cases lolz

    47. Da only reason this album is #1 FOR THIS WEEK is b/c nobody else released a album when he did! I ain’t talkin’ down ur comment just got to express what I be seeing going on. Game tried did what Willie Robert II aka Officer Rick Ross been doing, drop the album when no other popular artist are dropping so theres no competiton for that week for the #1 spot. Buddy didn’t even move 100k! He did Big Sean #’s from Kanye’s camp, I bet his 2nd-week sell around 40k so this ain’t nothing to brag bout! Not even going to even get into all da featured-artist/cost to make this FLOP on Interscope!

      I know da rebuttles is coming but I got to balance da real sh*t from da fake sh*t that some of yall fans/stans don’t decipher. By da way buddy’s 1ST-WEEK only sold 3,700 more cd more than WTT’s 3RD-WEEK sales, meaning if he would have dropped da same week as WTT he would have closed he twitter account!…LOL

    48. I was surprised Wiz went Gold. At least it looks like sanity has returned because gay sean will never see Gold.

      I wanted to see Lupe again when he comes to Philly but Big Sean is with him.

      Had to pass. Couldn’t see my dollars going to a dude who makes music for male hairdressers.

    49. check this??? fuck rap music..only a couple artist in music sell big! kanye,wayne,jay,drake,nikki,taylor swift.bieber,gaga and a few others that’s it..#1 is #1

    50. the shit talking really worked out for Game, he only edged out Watch the Throne by 4,000 units, pitiful for a first week, I knew R.E.D. was going to be a flop, Banks’ album will collectively sell more units.

      1. lolz ur crazy banks has never outsold game rotten apple n doctors advoate came out a month apart n game slaughterd em n banks not even gold yet wit hiz latest cd game will evenually pass em das a fact lol

      2. oh n t.o.s and l.a.x were a month apart also guess wut….. game slaughterd em so wut makes u think game wont pass banks again lolz he already 400,000 from gold banks not even dere yet

      3. anonymous is a fucking retard, so much flawed logic and flawed stats to point out. If you’re having fun listening to a shitty cd, that’s all you, but the cd is a flop.

      4. Because the #1 album in the country can possibly be a flop lol well then WIZ LUPE BIG SEAN ETC ALL FLOPPED HARDER!! And didnt Banks do HALF Game first week numbers today like 3 years ago!?! lmao

    51. I think sites should stop putting so much first week sales up.
      People lie Numbers Don’t! Thats jigga man telling people to look at an artist materialistically, instead of looking for the real talent and the message, jump on the bandwagon like some sheep and catch the dreams were selling

    52. Arm crossers. Game could sale a billion copies in 3 days and you crybabies would STILL have something negative to say. But yet, you download his album illegally, friend him on facebook, and follow him on twitter. #hypocriteundercovergamefans

    53. Them Lil’ Wayne projections look funny…not gonna say nothing bad, they just look funny. If they bought the records themselves, that’s good marketing scheme, I guess, get people talking and then I guess they will go out and buy the record…..I myself thought C3 1st week numbers were suspect too, cuz Usher had come out before him, and Usher barely sold 400k…..also, 50 sold a mil in a week, em sold a mil in a week, and their albums went on to sell b/w 7-10 mil, but C3 is still sitting at 3 mil (just my thought)

      Maybe Baby didn’t buy that $8 mil whip, b/c he had other thoughts for that money. It’s not bad business though, when you think about it….Def Jam spent $25 mil to make Kanye’s last album, and he only sold 1 mil ($10/album = $10 mil)…I know Baby aint spend nowhere near $25 mil to make C4, so all they gotta do is budget, lets say $5 mil to buy back albums (500,000 albums), and they still come out better than def jam….plus if they don’t make the money back, they just use it as a tax write-off…trust me I work for the IRS, businesses do this ish all the time.

      1. ^ “(&10/album = $10 mil)”

        implying that any label ever makes $10 off an album, ever. retard.

        why do hip hop fans always judge albums on sales rather than the actual music? listen, if you’re going to be one of these faggots, at least read “All You Need to Know About the Music Business” by donald s. passman so you at least Almost sound like you know what the fuck you’re talking about.

      2. I never said the labels made $10 off an album. What I said was that “$10/album” meaning, if you assumed that an album cost $10 then you would get the result. I guess I needed to spell that out for you, i’m sorry…..plus what does it matter how much the label make off the album, that wasn’t my point…read what I wrote, and if you cannot get the point of what I’m saying, maybe you should just pass my comment…f’ing retards

        Also @ Fuck dis pie azz nikka, why u mad at me, I don’t make the rules nigg.

    54. I don’t care about sales, especially in today’s “download for free” world. Based on quality, I was disappointed in game’s overall effort. I’m gone listen to it a few more times b4 I completely write it off…

      1. I listened to The Documentary then listened to the RED Album. RED can’t hold a candle to it. It has good verses but Game is trying to adhere to formulas on some songs (Drug Test) while using others to do concept music (California Dream). For a powerhouse team on Drug Test, the song sure dragged and felt old as hell in a bad way. I was expecting more from Sly and can’t believe Dre signed off on that track.

        California Dream had a mumbling chorus that was annoying as hell, Martians Vs. Goblins had hot verses and an absolutely terrible hook, the Nelly Fertado song was a disappointment – her voice drones on – the City was actually a really good song, Heavy Artillery would be okay if it didn’t have a sample, Red Nation was one big sample.

        I didn’t care for most of Game’s recent mixtapes but I liked RED files and Brake Lights (listening to the latter right now). Go listen to Street Riders, You Are The Blood, Brake Lights, Better on the Other Side, etc. those are unique songs with soulful feels and seethe of real music.

    55. Universal bought 500,000 copies of the Carter 3 in 2008. Carter 3 actually sold 510,000 from actual people that bought those albums. This time Universal is buying 350,000 out of the 850,000 copies sold, while the rest are from actual fans.

    56. Good for Game and good for Hov/Ye. Hope Red goes gold by the end of this year. WTT will be plat by the end of next month.

      This was one of the best months for hip-hop in a minute. We have a great pretty much str8 up Hip-Hop album (The R.E.D. Album), a pretty good commercial album (Tha Carter IV), and a great experimental/futurist album (Wacth The Throne).

      Past, present, and future all in within a 4 week span. Not to mention the great mixtapes that came out.

      I’m good until Cole World, lol.

      1. yeah man you are correct us fans just need to appreciate that rap is on top period and enjoy your fav rapper period thats what jay said about watch the throne its not just jay and kanye its the entire rap community we all need to watch the throne

    57. man these fools still crying over them C4 numbers

      shits funny who needs comic view when you got HHDX

    58. Fuck sales. This is my top Hip Hop albums of 2011

      1) Section.80 by Kendrick Lamar
      2) The Greatest Story Never Told by Saigon
      3) Watch the Throne by Jay-Z & Kanye West

      Top albums I’m not sure are either good or straight wack:

      1) Lasers by Lupe Fiasco
      2) Tha Carter IV by Lil Wayne
      3) The R.E.D. Album by Game

      Waiting for J. Cole, Young Jeezy, Drake and Wale….

    59. lmao at people saying Birdman bought the albums … i love it, after denial comes acceptance and you will learn to accept that Wayne is more relevant to the industry than Jay and Ye.

      1. hes more relevant to people that dont know anything about hip-hop sure

        hes definitely more relevant with little high school girls

    60. Game needs to stop featuring people and get rid of Mars… that guy makes gay beats… Do another Doctors Advocate Album type.. feature
      Glasses Malone
      Nipsey Hussle
      Balance
      Jay Rock
      Juice

      Stop trying to sell featuring rappers that dont go with style of rapping

    61. if you listen to the radio when they giving away free copies of a album every 10th caller those are the albums the record company buy themselves

      1. fag i use to work at a radio station i see the shit all the time even the callers that dont get on air get free cd’s tuesdays at my job was like xmas what ever dropped that week i had it so in other words STFU

    62. wayne is a sellout he has a huge gay following so he lives up to that shit ie womens pants kissin his baby

    63. My fucking god. So many game haters. His shit was leaked a full week before it came out. He still number 1 regardless of the circumstances. Y’all dudes actin like he supposed to sell 500k to be validated as a #1 album. Only a handfull of rappers can do that, and they all hosehold names. Weezy, Nicki, Em, Jay/Kanye, Drake, & Dr. Dre. Game doesnt have the crossover appeal of these people, so he wont sell as much. Game core fans are black people. These other artists have fans from every aspect of society. Mainly, white people. . .And the notion that R.E.D. Is not a good album is bullshit. IMO its a little better than WATCH THE THRONE & 10x better than THA CARTER IV. This coming from someone who listen to wezzy & jigga on the daily. So stop hating the game sayin his shit weak. You dont really listen to hiphop music if you think its trash. You dont have to like it, but saying its trash is baseless.

      1. can we see some of those incredible lyrics from the D.E.A.D album if not shut the fuck up.Dre Escapes A Dud

      2. now he has core fans please the album sucks real hiphop is not biting a rappers flow and yes he was going for the crossover market chris brown,nelly furtado,mario,lloyd,drake the same shit he use to clown other rappers about

      3. Rap isnt all about lyrics you fucking moron voice pitch delivery flow etc makes a big difference you want people to post lyrics?!? LMAO your a retard

    64. WTT>>>>>>>>>>>>(RED+CARTER 4) if you dont think so please feel free to display some lyrics from both of those albums i dare you

      1. Shit deeper than The Roots band
        15’s drumming, ?uestlove in the coupe fam
        Riding through Pittsburgh, Wiz got the Steelers
        Born by the jungle so I came with gorillas
        Since niggas dropping more dimes than we fuckin’
        We out the hood, tryna get money like (?)
        Splitting backboards just to get our weed stuffed in
        The crack we cookin, we don’t need ovens
        We need something to put in the mouth of our kids
        Instead of copping chains, lets fly to Chile and dig
        Go to Haiti and feed to the Bahamas and breathe
        On the way back, to my nigga Sean from Belize, you know
        Sometimes I feel like this rap shit is heaven sent
        Then I get a high, feel like it’s irrelevant
        So I’m about to pop the trunk like an elephant
        And campaign with Wyclef while he run for president
        I’m ’bout to pop the trunk like an elephant
        And campaign with Wyclef while he run for president
        Told you I was gonna kill this shit, Premo..

      2. thats lyrics? more like giving shout outs from a dj booth

        F-ck y’all mad at me for?
        You don’t even know what I’ve been through
        I play chicken with a Mack truck
        Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been moved
        I swam waters with great whites
        Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been chewed
        I hustle with vultures late nights
        Y’all muthaf-ckers woulda been food
        F-ck wrong with these dudes
        Try to walk around in these shoes
        See the shit I saw growing up
        And maybe you can take a peek at Bey’s boobs
        N-ggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily like
        These rappers rap about all the shit that I do really
        I’m like really half a billi n-gga
        Really you got baby money
        Keep it real with n-ggas
        N-ggas aint got my lady money
        Watch the Throne dont step on our road
        Bad enough we let you step on our globe
        When my nephew died, daddy dead
        N-ggas took the price on my uncles head
        Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
        So I feel like I’m collecting on my uncles bread
        Bow down, you spose to pay homage
        don’t spill hate all on my garments
        Commes Des Garcon, f-ck your fresh
        head shots n-gga f-ck your vests
        F-ck the pig, no pork on my fork
        Peace God cause you know a n-gga just went Ham

        Hard As a Muthaf-cker,
        Let these n-ggas know who I am
        Yeah I’m ’bout to go HAM

        If it wasn’t for your advice, A ni**a would have been so dead
        I’m living life, Til these niggas kill me
        Turn this up, If these ni**as feel me
        I’m riding dirty, Trying to get filthy
        Pabalo Picasso, Rothkos, Rilkes
        Graduated to the MOMA
        And I did all of this, Without a diploma
        Graduated from the corner
        Yall can play me
        For a mother***in fool if you wanna,
        Street smart, And I’m book smart
        Could have been a chemist, Cause I cook smart
        Only thing that can stop me is me, And I’mma stop when the hook start
        Hold up

      7. yeah man game rated watch the throne as a 7 and gave kanye a 6 so its shit on game time i really dont care but when you talk shit and cant back it up its a problem

      8. Picture if you will
        That the throne was burning
        Rome was burning
        And I’m sitting in the corner all alone burning
        Why does it always end up like this?
        Something that we don’t determine
        Same people that I fought for
        That I fight for, that I ride for
        That I live for, that I die for
        Be the reason that these niggas is alive for and they want me dead
        But I’m so sorry but I just can’t die for you
        But I can make em put their hands in the sky for you

        When the grief is over
        Beef is over
        I’ll be fly when Easter’s over
        I tried to teach niggas how to be kings
        And all they ever wanted to be was soldiers
        So the love is gone
        Til blood is drawn
        So we no longer wear the same uniform
        Fuck you squares
        The circle got smaller
        The castle got bigger
        The walls got taller
        And truth be told after all that said
        Niggas still got love for you

        Showed love to you niggas
        You ripped out my heart and you stepped on it
        I picked up the pieces
        Before you swept on it
        God damn this shit leaves a mess don’t it
        Shit feelin’ like death don’t it
        Charge it to the game
        Whatever’s left on it
        I spent about a minute
        Maybe less on it
        Fly pelican fly
        Turn the jets on it
        But first I shall digress on it
        Wasn’t I a good king?

      9. Tell them muthaf-ckas I’m forever paid
        California king wrestle gators in the Everglades
        Drive up out that muthaf-ckin swamp in the Escalade
        So before you put that Red rag in your pocket I wanna see your f-ckin resume
        Started off on Ground Zero, then I start to levitate
        Rip rappers a new asshole: I never hesitate
        Dre Beats on, smoking that chronic just to meditate
        I’ma give em hurricanes until another Levee break
        You niggas is featherweight, I’m Aftermath’s heavyweight
        Now Dre’s weapon of mass destruction is ’bout to detonate
        When a nigga wack found me, shit, I was selling weight
        Now a nigga’s selling millions, now it’s time to celebrate
        Performing in front of millions, nigga every race
        64 in the ’64, now watch the Chevy scrape
        4th album, no 5 mics? Then let ’em hate
        But I’m not stopping ’til I’m the f-cking king in every state

    65. u nigga’s is crazy all i hear is game name drop,too many features…this the nigga 4th album..he got 4 #1 rap albums stats speak for them selves…sells arent sayn much bcuz the cats u see all on the t.v. and radio aint selling shit..all these young nigga’s aint breakn 500,000 and they fresh faces..

    66. games best cd was a mixtape called
      THE FACE OF L A

      wow, that thing could have been LP it was so amazing.

      what happened to that game?

    67. the evil empire one. its from 09

      not the one from 06..

      i guess he has two mixtapes that are the same name.. what an idiot.

      but the 09 one is absolutely incredible

    68. a number 1 album – somethin banks and yayo can only dream of.

      (an album in general – somethin 50 cent can only dream of)

      1. some of you mother fuckas have dick riding rage 50 pulled out after it got leaked just like games album interscope didnt stop shit from being released they leaked shit its gaga time they could care less about 50 or game

    69. u niggaz iz lame postin lyrics, get over it. everyone knows jay is a better lyrical rapper, game however aint bad. but no nigga got shit on nas (go read the carter 4 outro’s lyrics by nas) and that aint nowhere near his best. he had 2 dumb it dow a lil’ for weezy simpleton fans

    70. Big Game fan here.

      The problem is that what Game wanted the RED album to be mutated so many times over the last 3 years that the finished product ended up way too scattershot and in the end lacking.

      I think starting off with Startrak/Pharrell compromised the project from the beginning. Around 7/8 months ago they tried to start over and find some direction with Game sort of coming back into the Aftermath fold, but too much time and effort had been wasted on useless tracks already and by then the fans were impatient for an actual LP. RED sounds like an album that’s had half of its original tracks scrunched up into a ball and trashed & some new ones hastily recorded to make up for them.

      Next time Game just needs to start a project with a clear head and have an idea of where he wants to go with it. That’s what made The Documentary (where he had the creative oversight of the whole math camp) and the Doctor’s Advocate (where he had something to prove) such great lps.

    71. Pardon my ignorance but what does (TM) and those other funny looking letters mean?

      Check the posts below, Thanks

    72. I’m surprised game sold that. He won’t go gold but atleast he gets yet another number 1 album. This makes number 3 out of 4, thats not bad

    73. mad game haters i see but he has put up numbers since bein dropped off g-unit n has outsold both banks n yayo everysingle time n every time he drops its number 1 album so yea he only sold 98k i expected around 120k but das good for a veteren u got new niggaz fresh faces like big sean 85k n ace hood 25k cant even sell n are gettin more airplay n more videos on mtv (rednation wuz banned) n he outsold dem new artist so 98k aint dat bad ..and guess wut wen he dropps hiz next cd he’ll b number 1 again he aint goin away ya hatin for no reason lolz he got 4 number 1 albums das more den alot of vetrens…. da only guys doin crazy numbers are kanye jay em drake wayne n sadly nikki das it everyone else should b happy to hit 150k

    74. Wow I didnt know Game had this many haters.. it made me listen to his music more when every site i go to people hate on him for dumbs reasons..hes pretty Good.. real old school style rapper..

      But it reminds me so much of when 2PAC was alot everybody hated him for saying thug life on every track.. and for dumb reason.. and i remember arguing with everyone about why i thought 2pac was great.. then he dies and everybody jumps on his nutts..

      Game aint close to 2pac..never will but he really has a great understanding for hip hop with some of the things he says…i been listening to Rap Since Das EFX, days earlier Ice Cube days when everybody was calling him a racist and all that.. so im not some im not like one of these white kids or new hip hop fan that just started liking it but dont know its history.. i have seen it change..80’s 90’s 2000s.

      But Game is Pretty Damn Good..but if you a new fan like 8 years in his music probably wont appeal to You ..because the boy definetliy..Raps with Old School Flavor.. but in a new era where rappers dont know how to put a body of a song together ..thats whats missing with new Rap..but i hope they figure it out soon..

    75. Wow I didnt know Game had this many haters.. it made me listen to his music more when every site i go to people hate on him for dumb reasons..hes pretty Good.. real old school style rapper..

      But it reminds me so much of when 2PAC was alive everybody hated him for saying thug life on every track.. and for dumb reason.. and i remember arguing with everyone about why i thought 2pac was great.. then he dies and everybody jumps on his nutts..

      Game aint close to 2pac..never will but he really has a great understanding for hip hop with some of the things he says…i been listening to Rap Since Das EFX, days earlier Ice Cube days when everybody was calling him a racist and all that.. so im not like some new cat ..im not like one of these white kids or new hip hop fan that just started liking it but dont know its history.. i have seen it change..80’s 90’s 2000s.

      1. And the 2010s. It just changed again to faggy skinny jeans homo swag bullshit dumb non sensical music. Swag stans for SO WHACK AND GAY #IWANTREALHIPHOP

      2. Lol i remember when swag useds to be a good thing. Now all it means is i wear skinny jeans and rap like i got down syndrome to a fly beat

    76. In the 70s.. people said rock was dying. There were stragglers trying to keep an era alive as the 80s moved in with pop and dance.

      Welcome to the new wave.

    77. FIRST WEEK SALES

      The Documentary – 586 000
      Doctor’s Advocate – 358 000
      L.A.X. – 238 000

      so as you can see, either game’s fans aren’t loyal, or he’s not promoted enough that people know if/when the album is coming out (people that don’t go on sites like these), or he’s putting less and less effort…

      who knows?

      i bought RED, but i live in Toronto, so that doesn’t count to the 97 and change it did in the USA.

      FEEL ME?

      1. Or no one buys albums anymore and everyones numbers are low as shit. 50 went from doing a mill first week to doing what 160k? Lets be real if Game sold 200k + he would be doing Jay/Kanye numbers overall. No one expects Game to have a bigger fanbase then Jay.

    78. can we say bye game..hello kendrid lol .. jk but foreals .. albums dont sell no more unless u my wigga em, or jay, weezy, beyonce shit diddy aint popping like that no more .. they make ther money off tours, specially more since albums are basically free off the comp .. but him selling less than fif for the first week jus shows game needs to stfu and make good albums for people can come see him on tour cuz weezy shit was ok to me but beats game by far .. watch the thrown is the best album that came out this year ..

    79. 98,000 is a pathetic showing. It barely outsold Throne lol Honestly, he’ll be lucky to see another album. He had a decent run, but let’s face it. 50, as creatively dead as he is today, gave Game the elements that allowed him success. After that, it was all downhill.

      1. I agree LAX & RED are west coast classics. These clowns dont respect the west coast. They stuck in the south, listening to that bafoonery….i sweat 2 god every south rapper is swagged out, hustlin in the trap, with candy painted cars. West coast was doin that in the 90s

      2. How the fuck can your album sales be pathetic when for one week your album sells more copies then ANY ALBUM IN THE WORLD!?! That shit makes no sense.

      1. you know damn well you aint buy shit. if u did you wouldnt sound like a hater. I bet u think the carter 4 is a classic huh?

    80. red was def top5 albums of the year…but he did flop for all those features and shit talking……but doesnt take away from the album

        It’s hard to do, when you got nothin to prove
        Everbody know you better, you in a lose lose
        Even if you win, ultimately you lose
        Real niggahz like, “why Hov talkin to dude”
        He’s sellin low too
        Only time you went plat
        My chain was around yout neck, thats an actual fact
        So I’m praying that it spills outside of the Booth
        Thats when y’all niggahz outside of your truth
        Outside of your league, thats not what you do
        Niggahz throwing ROC signs outside of your coupe
        [Laughs]
        Dun look at Hove like he dun somethin wrong to em
        He just took what belong to em
        Niggahz playing Checkers wid Chess playing Hov
        This game is over I dunno if y’all know
        You in a hole

    84. Hows niggahs dissin me? I made it possible
      For niggahs to make history, How is the possible?
      Please explain this shit to me, How is it logical?
      Have we forgot our history? lets open our bibles
      Its like the disciples dissing Jesus becoming his rivals
      Shunning teh one thing that they owe their life to
      You let that man hype you to go against your idol
      Knowing good and god damn well this what I do
      Think I’m in the office I lost my grind
      Thats how kids become orphans, YOU LOST YOUR MIND!?
      I keep my enemies close
      I give ’em enough rope
      They put themselves in the air
      I just kick away the chair

      THEM BARS IS PRICELESS

    85. im from the west cost and the album sounds pretty dope but there was something missing i mean he put put a dj khaled type of album. People made fun of Banks because all his features and yet when game does it its cool. Oh well i think this is his last album he will be in on top it lasted a week so enjoy game.

      1. It’s true. Game’s new album got way too many features on it. It’s one trend i’d don’t see fading anytime soon though. Almost everyone is doing it.

    86. Nice to see the homie Royce gettin some shine. I also predict that the Carter IV will sell 750,000 in the first week. Motherfuckers cant get enough of Weezy, you know……….

    87. Seriously? Only 98k? That album is dope as fuck! Fuck outta here, seems like these days nobody is buying albums anymore.
      If Wayne sells over 500k units I’ll kill myself.

      1. @ Gorgeous Scott

        I don’t give a shit about his 800k. We all know Baby will buy 500k of it. Just like with Carter 3, Unirversal bought 550k of his 1,1M.
        Wayne got some good tracks but seriously? 800k? Fuck outta here!

    88. i am sooooooooo happy for game,
      he got the spot back that he deserves.
      just rememeber all these banger free mixtapes – those alone are better then some dudes album’s!!
      damn he is so hungry!!!
      bws all day,
      everyday!

    89. A #1 album can not be a flop period point blank. Say Game sucks album sucks hes only good with 50 etc. but if you say the #1 selling album in the world is a flop you a fuckin idiot.

    90. What I find funny is that you guys spend sooo much time and energy hating, thinking you’re making a difference, but the reality is that dude doesn’t even know you exist. He’s to preoccupied with counting his millions, while you waiting for the first of the month. You mufkers need to stop.

    91. I’ve been skeptical of Game Lately, But R.E.D. Is a Sick album, And Who cares about sales? Just Because Eminem sells 4 million records dosent mean the shits good, Ditto For The Carter 4. R.E.D Isnt better than Watch The Throne But it’s damn near close, and miles ahead of The C4.

    92. sorry fags!! carter iv will sale 975k units wich just about rounds up 2 a million units sold!! only rapper 2 ever sell a mill twice in the first week!!! YOUNGMONEY4EVA!!!
