    2. I always expected C4 to go 2x platinum but for the love of everything that is holy, let’s not let Pink Friday get up there too

      I say we taze anyone in stores who approaches the CD cover

      1. Son I thought I told you to stop riding the dicks you fag ass fan boy. Everyday you are on here defending these sorry excuse for rappers. And please take all those Lil Wayne and Drake posters off your wall. You sorry excuse of a son.

        I’m slapping your mother cause you sure as hell can’t be my son you fucking queer.

      2. ^^ Keep your mouth closed. YESSIR’s father needs to teach his son a lesson because your bitch ass is afraid to say anything to your grandson. YESSIR been sucking to much YMCMB dick and getting fucked in the ass to much. YESSIR’S father needs to show his dick sucking son whats good and how much of a disgrace he is.

    3. LOL, all that promotion and overplay on the radio and Drake is only at 1.4 Million

      Why do people even sign to major labels anymore, really??…. The biggest star in the game is waitint to go double platinum like 8 months after his album dropped, back in the day the guy who sold 2 mill was the opening act, now he’s the headliner

      1. The biggest in the game is EM and hes still at like 4milli in THE US with Recovery from 2010. Wayne is wack and fuck his crew and his stans

    4. Nicki is a bloody joke. She gets the gas face. People should stop buying her shit. I hope her new album flops. She needs to go away. She is a disgrace to hip hop. Want a dope female MC? Support Nitty Scott MC.

    5. MBDTF = 5 star album!!!
      WTT =4.5

      Kanye is killing em….

      I like Wayne – but after 2weeks of Carter IV I haven’t played it since…..

      Kanye be pushing the genre forward –

      1. To bad for u cousin Jay makes way more cake than Weezy does and to bad for u Jay is letting me ride the dick already and we don’t stop til the early morning so set back and watch a pro

    6. Now ya’ll can see. I’m tru hip hop. Look at my j.u.s.t.i.c.e. league tatoo’s. Look at my j.u.s.t.i.c.e. league chain. Look at my corn rows. Look how I roc Air force one’s. Look how I alway’s wear a hat and leave the stickers on. I’m a producer!!!! I’m the best producer in the game!!! I’M COLIONE FROM THE J.U.S.T.I.C.E. LEAGUE!!!!!!!!!

      1. What very promising numbers in the long term? It’s been out for months. When is this sales boom going to happen? Did you create sales forecasts on Microsoft Powerpoint with pie charts and the whole 9?

    7. How Kanye’s classic MBDTF sell only 1.2 mill and faggots are hopping all over Wayne’s horrendous C4. Thats what I call a joke.

      It’s cool, Ye be getting all the accolades and make his cake off the WTT tour. Winning. Wayne wont get any grammys for his garbage rebirth/c4 shite.

    8. AGAIN NIGGAS IS MAD BECAUSE DRAKE AND WYANE SELLING MORE THAN KANYE? GO BUY HIS ALBUM AND STOP CRYING. MOST OF YOU DOWNLOADED IT ILLEGALLY

      1. Well at least Jay and Kanye won a grammy this year Nicki and the rest of the Young Money crew didn’t win shit yea Roc Nation sent ya’ll home crying lol cry me a river cousin YESSIR u lose this round

      2. Lol Damn, son u sure showed your cousin who’s boss on that one but don’t u ever get tired of dickriding Jay-z and all of the Roc Nation label everyday guess not u take it up the ass and u never stop u enjoy it to that a boy ride that Roc Nation dick and cum on it

    9. So Lil Wayne did a milli first week, took him 6 months to do another milli? Finally 2 milli sold?

      Eminem sold less first week with Recovery, but was 3x plat 5 months after release.

      My point? Fuck the short run. It’s the long run that counts. You see how relevant you are in the long run, and how loyal your fans are.

    10. why ya’ll poor bitch ass’s hatin on drizzy, nicki and wayne?? while they be makin dough ya’ll just sit on the computer and make comments on how bad they suckk, and why is that nigga talkin about eminem, fuck em, that nigga dead right now unlike weezy, wayne is everywhere eminem only comes out when he about to release a album. when the last time you heard a new eminem song or verse? Weezy’s was about 2 wks ago i think it shows on who cares about their fans more

      1. yeah but the difference when eminem put his music out its worh listening to where as wayne is just awful so suck my balls

    11. I’ve come to accept that Carter IV would outsell Kanye. But Nicki Minaj! Come on. 3 highest selling albums are three worst on there u ask me. Everyone entitled to listen to what they want but damn.

    12. yall niggas are arguing about sales figures but none of us BUY music. Its free on the internet, shit. and anyone who claims “i buy to support my fave artist” stfu only stupid niggas pay for shit thats free

      1. Either ur young as h#ll or just plain old stupid!! If u choose not to support ur favorite artist or good music in general dat’s ur choice but don’t come into a music website’s blog spewing ignorance like dat.Its ppl like u dat contribute 2 da downfall of da industry

      1. Your right for once cousin YESSIR numbers don’t lie that’s way Jay-Z himself makes more money than YMCMB combined yea cousin YESSIR suck a cock to that and for the haters who disagree with me ya’ll can kiss my ass

    13. Album sales dont necessarily mean the album was a musical masterpiece. it just means it was marketed well. This would be the case for YMCMB and Kanye. nothing more than that…

      1. i agree kanye’s album was genius he is so talented and deserves all the recognition he is getting right now.. love him or hate him he is the best right now

    14. Yo, Kanye’s album sucked a fat fuckin dick. HipHopDX givin that shit album of the year, are you dudes fuckin retarded?? Didn’t Celph Titled and Buckwild’s “Nineteen Ninety Now” come out in 2010?? “You know you done fucked up right? You know you done fucked up?”

      1. now step back and realize how no one gives a flying fuck about those albums

        albums of the year are not some underground treasure bullshit that the world is oblivious to

    15. Pretty crazy how Watch The Throne and Cole World sales put together still wouldn’t be as much as Carter IV… twisted if you ask me.

      1. not just teenage. the ladies, dudes.

        not only are a lot of ladies into that illuminati bullshit that the males keep spewin about, but this whole YMCMB brand helps them.. sad to hear but Wayne/Drake/Nicki are feedin off of each other’s hype and that’s makin paper

    16. BIRDMAN CAME IN MY MOUTH ‘100’! I TAKE IT UP THE BUTT AND I LIKE TO FUCK MY MOM AND MY SISTER CUZ I’M RETARTED.

      DURR

      1. That’s nothing cousin i got fucked in the ass and the mouth at the same time by Jay-z and Kanye West they both shot millions of gallons of cum down my throat and butt all while my mom, dad, sister, and brother were watching so u know what i did i made them join in on the fucking becuz i’m sick and we all had a sevensome together

    17. COCK IN MY MOUTH
      COCK IN MY MOUTH
      WAYNE AND DRIZZYS COCK IN MY MOUTH WHILE I SPEND MY DADS MONEY PAYING THEM SO I COULD SUCK THEM OFFF

      1. Dick in my ass, Dick in my ass, OMG JAY-Z AND COLE WORLD HAVE THERE DICK IN MY ASS GO HARDER HARDER HARDER WOW WOW OMG OMG OMG they just cummed up my ass i have to catch my breath now wow see cousin YESSIR my dad just gave me more money to fuck Jay and Cole World, and they are better at fucking than your Wanye and Drizzy

    18. THE WHOLE YMCMB GAVE IT TO ME UP MY ASS, MY EAR, AND MY NOSE. TYGA CAME ON MY LIP. DRIZZY NUTTED IN MY HAIR. WEEZY STRETCHED OUT MY ANUS WHILE I SUCKED BIRDMANS DICK.

      1. Well who cares cousin YESSIR i was to busy get some head from all of Roc Nation a real even better record label than yours they fucked me good and i enjoyed it to, first Jay Electronica made my toes curl when he came in my mouth, Cole World let me hit it in the morning putting hickies all over my neck, and cumming on my face omg O i can’t get of enough of that it was a work out, then Jay-Z and Kanye finished me off when they bent me over and double teamed me as they fucked me in the ass now your experience with YMCMB was nothing compared to that YESSIR

    19. Oh ok. The content was so bad it keeps causing people to buy the album. Tell your special ed teacher to start doing a better job.

    20. If Eminem & Royce make an official music video for “I’m On Everything”. “BAD MEETS EVIL” will surely hit platinum by the end of this year.

    21. #100. Bad Meets Evil (Eminem & Royce Da 5’9) – Hell: The Sequel – 5,100 (693,000)

      Anybody thought about the millie ?

    22. Wow! Great for Kayne, Grammy really helped MBDTF’s sales. I own 7/10 of these albums listed, 2011 did not diappoint at ALL in my opinion.
