Lil Wayne‘s Rebirth sold an impressive 175,000 debut week units. The Cash Money/Universal Motown project benefited from Wayne being in headlines for both his (now postponed) jail sentence, but also being one of the celebrity faces to the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl victory in Miami. Weezy F.’s Auto-Tune heavy Rock experiment with Cool & Dre could not budge Country/Pop act Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now, who assumed #1 for a second straight week. Numerous radio stations yesterday were doing special Young Money dedications to honor Wayne’s reporting to Riker’s Island. Next week will show if that gave Rebirth any chance of a second run at #1.
With The 2010 Grammy Awards on Sunday, the charts reflected a who’s who of nominees. For starters, Capitol Records’ compilation of nominees, which included The Black Eyed Peas, bounced back to #5. Those same Peas are within a thousand units sold to take The E.N.D. to double-platinum. The release likely crossed that mark Monday or Tuesday, though Interscope Records has yet to confirm.
Michael Jackson’s This Is It fell six spots on the charts. The Epic Records soundtrack companion to the summer film surged 11 spots. Alicia Keys‘ Element Of Freedom and Beyonce’s I Am…Sasha Fierce battled it out on the charts. The two were less than 600 units apart, as a rounded figure shows that Keys will see her latest platinum plaque as of next week’s review. J Records has yet to confirm.

Lil Wayne and teammates’ We Are Young Money still are short of 300,000. As predicted, the charts boasted numerous Young Money/Cash Money acts, including Rebirth, We Are Young Money, Jay Sean’s debut, Birdman’s latest, Drake’s EP, and even former Hot Boy Juvenile.
Although numbers were tallied prior to his Super Bowl pre-game performance Jay-Z‘s Blueprint 3 saw an excellent week in sales growth. The Atlantic Records-distributed break from Def Jam climbed 10 spaces. Eminem’s Relapse climbed seven spots, as the release aims to go double platinum by mid-March.
Drake’s So Far Gone EP was just barely out of Top 50. The fall debut release approaches 400,000, and remains Drake’s starting point, with a gold plaque likely in sight. 50 Cent‘s Before I Self Destruct gained 17 spots last week. This could be another album, that with radio support of a new single, could reach gold status by early spring.

Despite hope from some, neither powerful east coast deejay, Statik Selektah, nor DJ Green Lantern cracked the charts with debut albums last week. Can hiatus-breakers Sade or Gil Scott-Heron shake things up next week? Stay tuned.
Well another fucked up week 4hiphop….by dis time next year hiphop shuld be dead…….lololol Lil wayne FLOP HARD lololol…..No more a MILLI a MILLI….its plastic na lolololololololol….watch lil wayne stans defend da sales again
impressive???hw the fuck is it impressive?rebirth=flop of the century ..1 mill to 175k
How Da Fuck Is Dis A Flop… Of Course Its Not Gne Sale Like C3
But Shit Most Niggas Dnt Even Sale 176K and wayne did off and experimental
album…. Bet Yaw Wont Call C4 A Flop… Matter Of Fact Dnt Even Listen To Any
Tracks Off C4….. AZZHOLEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shit they left another dickrider
& REBIRTH AINT HIP-HOP ITS ROCK!!!!
SHE’s ON FIYAAAH…not
Lil Wayne you suck cock. And so do your fans. I hear he’ll be adding a mushroom imprint tattoo to his face while he’s in da jail.
You niggas are hating hard, how is this a flop? 176k for a rock expermential album from a rapper which leaked over 2 months ago? wayne is running hip hop buttom line.
its been 5 comments and nobody dissed 50 yet….have the haters moved on finally? i doubt it…i will check back n an hour and im sure to see them. is lil wayne doin good at 175? if he did 160 would his career b over?
Tha Carter 4.
all anyone can talk about is wayne’s “ROCK” album so he proved that hes runnin this shit rebirth is good but its just not for everybody…but he gonna SLAP ya wit that Carter 4 next year
It’s funny they call this rebirth album a success….The guy goes from selling one million first week to 175K…..Sounds like another big name rapper doesnt it you know the one everybody killed for selling that out the gate….As i recall this rappers’ album leaked 2 months ahead and also sold around this same amount and was considered a flop….It’s just funny cause i guarantee the wayne stans will come in here rejoicing these numbers….In my eyes when you sold 1 million off your last album and damn near 200K for a compilation album and you only push 175K for yourself its a flop and thats not hate thats fact
Co sign
As high profile as Wayne is I’d expect him to sell alot more than that……
C4 will sell better than this but he’ll never do C3 numbers again
^^^Shut UP
50 album “Didn’t” leak 2 months early. He didn’t even say that but you are exaggerating the shit. 50 dropped BISD a week early on iTunes so his Sales were actually 2 weeks worth and he still only sold 158k..
We ALL know Rebirth leaked 1 1/2 months early, there’s proof of that and it “STILL SOLD MORE THAN 50 RAP ALBUM”
THE TRUTH AS BEEN SPOKEN
hahah wayne is a bit safe cuz rebirth leaked 2 months earlier and 50’s album leaked 1 motnh earlier..but really theres no difference..albums leak all the time..and they pushed rebirth back even when it got leaked..they must have known this album had no hope.but wayne is supposed be on his peak and according to u dickriders hes the hottest artist nw..hence itsa HUGE FLOP for going 1 milli to 175k..and its not our ffault its a rock album or a horrible album..kanye sold way more than this with heatbreak
wow you lil wayne fans know no ends to your loyalty the hate 50 cent recieved for only selling 158K after posting 800K,1.4k,750k off his previous efforts and for wayne no matter how far the leak was to have sold 1mil off his last album in this day of downloading and leaking and shit and to post 175k is a flop just like 50 so no excuses
Rebirth is gonna struggle to go gold……….Wayne will always be around but he’ll never sell like C3 again, that was his peak………
id go check for two of yours on a bet that carter 4 goes plat first week
@ Mr. Gimik
You’d lose………..He’s never selling platinum in a week again, I’d bet my life on it…..
wow that’s surprising! “Rebirth” opened up bigger than “Before I Self Destruct” I don’t expect it to go over 300 something thousand copies though, if that.
I mean with mainstream artist like lil wayne with whatever album you come out with you want to sell so its no excuse its not hip hop its rock it shows wayne just needs to stick with rap he can’t do what kanye did with his album thats why as an overall artist kanye is better thank wayne sorry thats just how it is.
No matter how you look it,these numbers are bad.
i guess we call it rock if you add a gutiar? be fair…….if fif flop than this is a flop. same numbers
LOL lil wayne flopped, go play with your guitars freak.
Nobody has to diss 50, men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.lmao I know 50 fans are mad, but that just shows u that hating wayne don’t stop shit. I do hope 1day we all can stop letting our personal feelings get involved w/ these artist and just support the niggaz we like and don’t fuck w/ the niggaz we hate. And by the way i do fuck w/ 50, but real recognize real.
are you retarded how did weezy flop its the first week dumb fuck
your an idiot. how u gon sell plat first week then the next album u manage only 175k? if ain’t flopping wat is it?
Its a really really really really really really really bad album, the only thing saving it from complete disaster is Wayne stans and poverty strickin children who don’t know better and an Eminem feature.
Not the biggest fan by all maens
I don’t feel wayne has doing him for a minute now,so you can’t tell if the fans are still there and they just feel this project is unfathomable
if 50 cent flopped wit 169,000 first week so did lil faggot ass wayne bitch ass that the same numbers to me yall need to get off his dick nigga just say any ol thing on tacks shit be wack ass fuk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if 50 cent flopped wit 169,000 first week so did lil faggot ass wayne bitch ass that the same numbers to me yall need to get off his dick nigga just say any ol thing on tacks shit be wack ass fuk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lets do the math (if your able) 50 made a great hiphop record with bisd and sold 169,000 first week. wayne makes a poopy rock record and still outsells ur favorite rapper……u sound real emotional and butthurt LOL. u haters ride waynes cock WAY more then any fan ever could. yet hes the fag? LOLOLOL
Drakes mixtape sold 369000 copies?
Who cares how many records they sell!!?? If u like the music thats all that matters. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO RAP FANS!!???????
thats real….when i first got into hip hop i didnt even know who sold what or what label or any of the bs. the fans nowadays wanna hate the people they dont like instead of jus not listenin and shit like numbers became important for hate reasons….i loved alot of people who sold close to nothin but now if someone doesnt go plat people dont wanna listen…smh
Lil Wayne has some loyal fans. Rebirth had negative reviews from almost every source and yet he still manages to sell 175,000…
yeah thats why they say lil wayne dicriders are the dumbest to ever breath
ppl shit really aint start leakin til after the carter 3 came out, thats when leakin
got outta hand, but ummm i dont consider being #2 on the billboard chart is too
much of a flop to me… LMAO #2 a Flop? LMFAOOOO stupid fucks its a flop but it
sold more then everybody out but one person…LMAOOOO YAW SUM PURE HATIN
AZZ BITCHES!!!!!
It’s a shame that this is gonna reach 100 comments before tomorrow and all it is is people arguing who’s better and worse based off of fucking sales. Fuck hip hop fans, they killed the shit by basing skill off record sales. Damn shame.
Truer words have never been spoken…
you aint lying man…krs one said it on step into a world “now quote this/ mcees are just hopless/ thinking record sales make them the dopest…”
Based on wat u say, ther was a time before an MC’s skill was based on sales. So how did it used to be judged? Was there a time wen people recognised that one MC was better than another but then chose to buy the CD produced by the inferior rapper?
To be clear, I don’t necessarily disagree with all of your statement, because my favourite MC’s dont sell the most records for the most part.
But its dicks like u who claim to have some inside knowledge on “real hip hop” that are actually causing the most damage. Instead of shooting down rappers u don’t like, just listen to the ones you do and dont concern yourself with what the rest of us plebs are doing. (sure it doesn’t matter what we listen to anyway, we don’t know wat we’re talkin about)
Bottem line it is about sales, ask 50 cent 6 months ago before he flopped and thats all he talked about was sales, hiphop aint just in the parks like it was in the early 80’s its not underground anymore, so the more you sell the more viable it makes you as an artist, if you dont agree just go down the street and listen to any dude on the corner spitting and be his fan, dont even bother listening to well known mainstream artist with a deal
@Harry Richardson …………………. huh? Its about the craft. Like someone else commented earlier, unless you own the label or have invested crazy $$$$$$ to promote, distribute, and release their albums. Then the sales mean nothing. If u like the music, thats all that matters.
@ want to beat up Jimmy, im saying dudes is talking about it aint about sells, so they dont purchase, they download for free, fact of the matter is if you like a rappers product buy it, they post numbers and they continue to be able to put music out, but with out moving units a rappers ship will sink before leaving the dock, nobody is rapping for the sport of it, that was underground back in the day, rap is the most influential genra,cant keep saying it aint about sells, and dont purchase, we beyond rapping in the park now a days
Damn the Peas are about to do double-platinum?? Nice. That album is the truth so no surprise here.
good maybe wayne will stop using autotune and get back to what he used to be good at.
I co-sign: thats why i said buy the music from artist u like and don’t from the one’s u don’t. But its a difference between not liking a rapper and hating a rapper. Which brings me back to the question of why wayne haters take him so personal? But yet every wayne article, they are the 1st to read and comment. This dude(wayne) don’t even know yall. smh
But the problem is people anticipate their favorite artists so much that when it leaks a month early they download it and by the time its officially released it is old news… Even die hard fans who support their favorite artist might be faced with a dilemma when they’re tight on cash.. Once somebody gets something for free they never want to pay for it again.. The music industry will gradually get worse and worse..
Wayne’s (ROCK ALBUM) still Sold More Than 50’s (RAP ALBUM)
Those early Amazon sales didn’t count into those Rebirths 175k sales.
BISD was a 2 Week Tally because they counted iTunes Sales the week before it “Officially dropped” 158k…LOL
BISD SOLD 158K IN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS….LOL
yo i feel all yall bout not giving a fuck about record sales but you gotta realize that hip hop is a BIG BUSINESS NOW much bigger than it was in the 80s and 90s so record sales to the big honchos mean alot of money in their pockets. back in the day didnt nobody really give a shit bout hip hop selling or not, if it did cool if not they really aint sweat it but now there so much money caught into it that the labels are trying to fatten their greedy ass pockets with money instead of quality. alot of the major labels dont care about preserving the real hip hop shit because the real shit dont sell anymore so they will go get the wackest slut in the world who is following the trend of whats hot and will spend lots of money promoting wack shit so that it sells and its just like anything else, once its jammed into your ear ten or eleven times in one hour then you will eventually begin to fall into it. music is psychological, once you’ve been exposed to it enough, it will eventually grow on you. look at gucci mane, you all know if this nigga came out in a real hip hop era like the mid 90’s when you had the purple tape or moment of truth, he would be raped in georgia by his own people for attempting to rap on the mic but hes supported by a bunch of scrotum heads who dont know anything about what hip hop stands for. if you think about it HIP HOP IS THE BIGGEST SELL OUT MUSIC OF ALL TIME AND THIS IS SOME REAL SHIT. i love real hip hop but if you look at it no other genre of music has changed its main purpose or formula other than hip hop. those country music singers still sound generally like they did back in the 50’s and 60’s. they still sing about the same topics they did then. rock goes the same way… yea they find different instruments to add in and some few experimenting but for the most part it remains the same rock sound that was out in the 70’s and 80’s. hip hop has completely changed and for the worse! PLEASE PEOPLE QUIT DICKJACKINANDRIDINTHESENIGGAZDICKS! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TRY AND PRESERVE THIS THING BEFORE IT GETS TO BE TOO LATE! please bring the real nigga shit back!
my thing is how can hip hop not include dope beats and LYRICS anymore?…. wtf thats what this shit is all about but these clowns now could care less!
Rebirth (ROCK ALBUM) still Sold More Than BISD (RAP ALBUM)
Those early Amazon sales didn’t count into those Rebirths 175k sales.
BISD was a 2 Week Tally because they counted iTunes Sales the week before it “Officially dropped” 158k…LOL
but no coment

Its cos 50 has been shit since like ’03, BWS4LIFE
At the end of the day, Lil’ Gayne flopped terribly and 50 Cent flopped terribly.
18% on a Maths paper isn’t any better than 12%….
Eminem is the only rap artist who can STILL achieve ridiculous numbers.
Actually Eminem and jay z,
Ohh and yeah, Weezy did sell more than 50, But the excuse for 50 is it was leaked, Rebirth has been leaked for longer than BISD was,
And again, i BOUGHT biSd but downloaded rebirth,
Limewire lol
BISD is a better album
So now the stick is out of 50 fans ass and into Wayne fans I see.
I expect the next month of weekly sales to be “Wayne flopped”
“no he didn’t hater”
“Wayne dick riders”
“weezy still runnin this rap game”
and any other typical phrase people use evey week here
everything u said = truth.
50 and wayne seem to dominate every discussion on here regardless of the topic.
To be clear tho, i listen to both of them, im not speakin against them, just against u fags who think they are the start and finish of everything to do with hip hop.
I am lonely…. I comment 2 much….. I respond 2 everything….I have no life….. I need a girlfriend, or just a friend……. Please pardon my dumbass…. I need a hug
Dude, why do people keep mentioning 50 Cent so much??? No matter what the article is about, it keeps coming back to this G-Unit cat….lol.
How can one rapper (With mediocre/average skills) constantly be on everybody’s mind like that??? This is crazy…
jst finished listenin’ 2 the Freeway & Jake One record for a review….it’s 2 bad dis solid product ain’t gon’ sell much, ‘specially wit those tight azz productions, it will only get recognition frm real hip-hop heads…
Rap fans are all twisted nowadays. Yes, hip hop is BIG business but why are N8ggas tracking sound scan like they work for the labels or these magazines.
I never knew that Pac was the highest selling rap artist ever, I just liked his music.
I never cared the what the Roots sold, I just liked their music.
Illmatic, Commons Resurrection, Deeper than Rap, Slaughter House, and a million other albums to me are dope albums but record sales never figured into my buying habits. If that was the case, I’d have that BEP album.
Good point.
you dealing with a world run by pussified ass niggas my dude. you think it would just be so simple as bumping what you like and keeping it pushing….
Cosign my brother. These surburban white kids are the ones who started this whole sales this sales that bullshit. Thank god that 50 is no longer relevant mayb now we can get back to the music
LOL Little Wayne flopped, i feel sorry for the 170k fans that he only has now LOL.
NIGGA THIS SHIT LEAKED ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO AND HE STILL DOING BETTER THAN MOST OF YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS WITH A ROCK CD LOLDERZSSSA YOU A BITCH I FUCKS WITH THAT REBIRTH I STILL BOUGHT IT
It seems like when Jay-Z numbers grow bigger 50 cent numbers are small. And to think 50 wants to challenge Jay to a battle. Lyrically will kill 50 Cent and the sales numbers Jay can crush 50.
50 still can’t do Rick Ross numbers 400k Plus. I want Jay to respond to the bullshit 50 talks about, and jay will END 50 CENT CAREER Permentally.
Eminem and Jay are running rap now. G Unit is Dead.
all the album jay z got 50 come out with 4 album 50 still out sell jay z 50 fts album sold 11 million jay z will nev do that when he do then you can say something and fuck rick ross 2 album and still can’t go gold come on man
The only rappers that are selling right now is Eminem and Jay-Z.. We will see if Wayne can still do big numbers when C4 drops.
i am not giving Wayne any more of my money. I got all his albums up to C3. he has gone so pop its ridiculous.
m,m,m/,l
Let’s just remeber one thing, can we all just agree on this one thing that sales does not equal talent.
The only reason I say this is because one guy said Lil Wayne still sold more than your favorite rapper.
Big numbers have nothing to do with making quality Hip Hop.
not sure if thats at me buuuuuut i only said that cus ppl said 175k isa flop and that wasbetter then most in this day and age.
Big numbers have nothing to do with making quality Hip Hop.
rebirth islabeled a rock album not hip hop
Im lonely, and sad…. Where’s Muzake at???????????????
P.S. If you are reading into what Raekwon said you really need to support Statik Selektah not Kay Slay
Who’s Lil Wayne??? Never heard of him…
Kurupt-Down and dirty is the best fucking album of 2010 (right before Styles P-The green ghost project) The West is back muthafuckaz!!!
Numbers mean everything, this aint underground no more shit is a money maker, who wnts to get in the game and not move units, lets keep it real
So would rather go Plat, but cant sell out venues. Or go wood, but you sell out tours, @ average size venues, for half the year???
If you go PLAT and cant sell out venues then something is MOST definitely wrong….
Some asked earlier why we/I take it personal regarding Lil Wayne. Being a seventies baby, I was raised on HipHop, and kids now have now idea about the culture. Your average listener and mainstream media paint pictures with broadstrokes and Wayne to them, is HipHop and to me, Wayne aint reppin the culture right.
Word! I’m just 24 but I grew up with that Hip Hop from the 90’s and at that time it was all about HIP HOP. I can’t get that old feeling back nowadays. U guys really should listen to that new Kurupt, album is fire!!
Rebirth Is a really really really really really really really bad album, the only thing saving it from complete disaster is Wayne stans and children who don’t know better and an Eminem feature.
I honestly dont care who hates Wayne or who likes Wayne…
All I can say is I am a fan of Hip Hop music and I have never ever acknowledged the fact that I appreciate some Rock music too.
Now a days opening my ears to the genres of music I really love, I appreciate a broad range of music. I wasnt even going to give Rebirth a LISTEN until a friend asked me if I had listened to it and I realized I just kept a closed mind to the entire concept of Wayne doing a Rock album because I hate Wayne’s singing and I especially HATE Wayne on Auto-Tune.
I gave in and listened to the album and I must say that it is not half as bad as I thought it was going to be. There are cuts on the album that are worth listening to multiple times, that are worth being played in my car on full blast and are worth playing when you have a shorty around.
Look for me, any music that can withstand the bedroom test is worthy of being played. I have already smashed chicks to Rebirth, so that’s enough for me to say the album is good enough.
‘One Way Trip’ is one of my fav. songs on the album aside from ‘Drop The World’ and that’s all I have to say about that…
Let the haters talk… cuzz thats all they can really do..
“…any music that can withstand the bedroom test is worthy of being played. I have already smashed chicks to Rebirth, so that’s enough for me to say the album is good enough.”
SMH at those kinds of comments.
I have a purposal…………
Jay-Z and wifey Beyonce should do the Halftime Show of the Super Bowl 2011.
Piddy and Rick Ross should open it up. That’s a Hot Ticket.
Let Lil Wayne do the NBA Allstar Game. Numbers will be crazy!
Sorry, CBS is not going to let hip hop and R&B stars do halftime shows anymore, thanks to Justin and Janet. But I think that they should give it another chance.
Slap ya self 4including rick ross & diddy ain’t nobody coming 4that show lmao fuckin loser
Some of ya’ll just got hating running thru ya’ll veins. 175k the first week isn’t a flop especially on a experimental album. Almost anything over 100k is good but for someone to step outside of their core audience and attempt the same success is an accomplishment. some of ya’ll just need to stop haiting. Wanye sold over 100k with a compilation album. That says alot!!! But honestly if we are talking sales i think they should include ringtone sales as well cause that is making alot of money and its not accounted for.Any and all digital as well as physical sales should be the amount sold. CM/YM is really doing better than any other label and its showing in the number look at the top 200 and see who besides CM/YM and Konvict is moving units and Konvict is moving because of diversity (Lady Gaga, T-Pain, Akon, ETC)
Shut the fuck up

yo WTF is dis video
its fake as hell, bad actin, nowhere near a real movie dis cheap as shit
anyone else think eminem should receive credit for about at least 35% of those 175k sold, since the track with his verse is the only decent song on the album?????

wayne put out a rock album hows that not original? kanye did his lil experimental record BUT lets be honest hip hop rap and rnb go together like bread and butter….this cat STEPPED OUT of his normal genre and still sold decently first week. IF this was carter 4 then yeah after selling platinum first week 2 years ago it would be a flop but its not. his team has the charts flooded…..ym collab, drake, priceless, rebirth and jay sean. nicki is anticipated….drakes gonna drop thank me later, wayne/birdman got like father like son 2, carter 4…..charts will stay owned for awhile. n to the people saying this shit bout numbers not being the main thing….holler at your boys jay, ross and fif they set thebar with the numbers thing and only one of them moves units HA
I am a young loser who steals music. I destroyed my generation’s hiphop, so old folks sell more records than young people now. My sister buys more songs than me, so I am worthless to hiphop! But that won’t stop me from blogging and hating on your favorite rapper. I’m going to play XBOX live and then check my facebook page because I’m pathetic. I make beats on fruity loops studio and I flood the net with useless band pages. I AM GENERATION USELESS.
LOL……Priceless
50 sales were 2 weeks in sales wayne aint a flop number 2 album aint a flop keep getting mad 50 groupies
remember when rockers wanted to be rappers….now rappers wanna be rockers…..smh….no wonder rap is dying like a cancer patient……lol……hey wayne dont drop the soap……if u brought this piece of crap u got hustled like madoff’s victims…be original!
ive been saying the same thing. WE use to be the leaders and trendsetters…”we” being HIP HOP!!! Now we are the biters and the d riders..
NOBODY FUCKING BOUGHT REBIRTH.. THATS A TOTAL LIE
THESE SOUNDSCAN STATS ARE TRICKED, BABY BOUGHT THOSE 170,000 CDs HIMSELF AND IS USING THEM AS BEDPOLES! NO JOKE GO CHECK HIS CRIB IF U DONT BELIEVE ME.
HOLLA
Niggas bought Rebirth but Baby definitely bought thousands of albums………….Baby spend millions on pinky rings so why wouldn’t he buy 50,000 albums
nobody actually living hiphop culture. just a bunch of dumb children bought that shit.
JAY-Z IS BUYING HIS OWN ALBUMS WATS A FAG BP3 IS GAY AS FUK
If 50 was buying his albums he would be platinum now
DUKE OVER CAROLINA……….64-54….WE OWN THE ACC BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
calm down lol. it was a rock album, yall niggas be gettin mad wayne dont even know yall. your more conserned about him floppin then he is lol
LOL Rebirth song # 6 is for all yall lame ass niggas on this site hatin LMAO! go listen its just for you 😛
50 1st cd sold more then all lil wayne cds
@red marble so your over 20 and bought rebirth? you are a clown.
Tweens and teenagers bought 170,000 copies of Rebirth. If you are over 20 and paid money for Rebirth…………..FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! you are ruining my culture go SUCK A DICK!!!!!!
“FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! you are ruining my culture”
HAHAHA!
gayest comment I ever heard!
Look yall not everybody can experiment. I commend those who actually take time to go out of there comfort zone but lil wayne is not an actual artist. H does put words together that sound good but he doesn’t really make musch sense some times. Kanye’s 808 and heartbreak went platinum. Why because people knew that kanye was worth it. Kanye is an actual artist unlike wayne. SO from now on maybe wayne will stick to his punchlines about ho’s,money and more ho’s and leave the artistic shit to the experts.
I’m so tired of this sales thread. its the same fucking albums over and over. Eminem, Kanye, Outkast, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, T.I., don’t even have a release dates, late summer if we’re lucky. Ludacris and Game is gonna sell like 200,000 first week maybe. Sales are shitty and still declining unless you sell to teenie boppers or girls. BEP was released on june 6th, Em released relapse on May 19th. shit Drake released So far Gone February 13th. no one can talk shit, everybody suck now.
So wayne is actually doing better sales wise so far on rebirth than most of his catolouge did. if all these 15 yr old actually knew. I dont care his 1st two cds are his only ones worth listening to, an a couple mixtapes. an how come nobody calling wayne a flop yet?? cuz its not a real rap album?? fuck outa here! but its not bad considering what amazon accidently did.
ya… for all the lil wayne groupies that thing he is the best cause of last yrs sales… lil waynes hole career he has sold under 5 million… thas what like 5-6 albums?? an carter 3 did what ? 3 mil? I dont hate wayne for the record, Im happy for any nigga makin money, but he aint tha best an who cares about sales?? slaughterhouse !! but i only mention the sales cuz of all lil waynes 16 yr old fans. over 10 yrs, less than 5 mil. not so impressive huh guys? LOL I jus laugh cuz i remember reading a lil whle ago how somebody said lil wayne was the best because carter did 1 mil in a week! roughly 85% drop in sales. omg. an baby how to u explain wayne only makin a bit more than jay but doing double the shows? go buy lil waynes first 2 cds, fuck this new shit he puttin out. GET OF GET OFF THA CORNER!! THA BLOCK IS HOT!
How you get only 5 milion sold? the carter 1 2 and 3 sold more than 5 million! how many artists make a song everyday while on tour? NONE so shut the fuck up bout wayne not being the best, and hardest working artist alive, in any genre!!!
He sold Around double that number…and BIGBM, u say “how many artists make a song everyday while on tour?” I don know but none of taht shit is worth a listen. Maybe he should make one good song instead of million bullshit tracks
all waynes albums are platium except for “Lights out” his 2nd cd and its gold get your facts straight and 50 will never go platium again …. didnt that nigga say if kanye out sold him he would quit? can i get a L.O.L on that
Whoa!! Nigga step out da past that was 08!!
REAL TALK PPL no one saleing records anymore so 170 is pretty good for a rock album wit no song on the radio. on fire just started getting played like 2 weeks before the cd drop. other rappers have a single out for months and cant do them numbers….
No joke!
That album is boring overall but uhhhhh, you right though!
#1 the rebirth is in no way a rock album. that is a disgrace to rock music, to even say that it is.
#2 if it was 170,000 isn’t shit anyway, i think young money itself, sold that in the first week, and now it’s selling 21,000 this week.
The album sold 1.15 million copies in its first four days of release, making it the sixth fastest-selling album since SoundScan began tracking sales data in 1991.[14] It is the third best opening week for any rap album in history, behind Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show (which sold over 1.33 million copies in its first week),[15] it was certified double Platinum in less than a month and finished as the second-best selling album of 2005 with 4.85 million copies sold in U.S. sales, behind Mariah Carey’s The Emancipation of Mimi. It has been certified 5x Platinum with over 5.8 million copies sold in the U.S. It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.[16][17][18][19] 50 CENT THE MASSACRE 2ND DIAMOND ALBUM
FuCK DUKE!
Interesting to see people mad that lil Wayne FANS actually went out and supported him. Thats the real problem with hip-hop…aint enough fans no more. Too many rappers and critics. All you “real hip-hop” heads need to support your artist more instead of downloading his/her shit and crying on messageboards about how their CD was the most slept on shit since Rip Van Winkle.
EXCUSE MR I-SUCK-DICK-FOR-A-LIVING ,BUT NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO SOME CRAP CALLED PROM QUEEN … LET ALONE SUPPORT IT.
YOU DONT NECESSARILY HAVE TO SUCK AN ARTISTS DICK AND TELL HIM HIS CRAP IS GOOD JUST TO SUPPORT HIS MILLION DOLLAR WEED/SYRUP/COKE HABIT
Da best album ever is still all eyez on me no 1 can betta dat ever
reasonable doubt is the greatest album ever son alol eyez on me was classic but the doubt was bettere than any album i herd
theres like 10 albums up here but every comment is about lil wayne. c4
DAT NIGGA BETTER BE ON SOME HUSTLA MUZIK TYPE O’ SHIT FOR C4
HOLLA WIT DAT REALNESS
impressive??????
DX you are too biased
WE can now officially say that album sales are done.
so if 50 flopped. when definitely flopped, lets call it fair this time people. im not hating on wayne but with all the hype with him going to jail and lets no forget all the shit yall talked about his last album when it sold millions so now all the fans are humble.
it is hard not beleive that Jay-z bought some of his own ablums. in this climate there is now way he did those numbers, kingdom come barely went platinum.
and im not biased to say it could be the same with eminem
Its funny how 50 cent haters, sayin that he flopped, But when lil wayne do just as bad, Its Decent Though. Lil Wayne had way more promotion then 50 Did. Grammy awards, two weeks ago, Young Money Album In Stores, and That On Fire Bullshit on The Radio. He Flopped face it.
wayne outsold though that nigga…50cent had commericals for his shit was doing radio interviews on it..lol if you find one interview from wayne on rebrith post the link….dont worry i’ll wait lol

how did he flop joe?? rebirth sold over a third of 50s total in the first week and his young money which is a collabo is selling just as well??? how many albums would 50 sell if he dropped a rock album? NONE!!!!!!!!!
50 cent is a Clown!… he blew up because Dre and Em signed him. Now them, as well as the rest of the world are tired of him TURNING HIP HOP INTO A CIRCUS! and always needing to beef with someone to promote is his garbage I stole Ja Rules Style CD…. look what all that how to rob shit and all that singing got him no where but “selling” (alegededly in some cases) as many CD’s in a month than EM sold on day one.
G-Unot
Damn right Spartacus!
People are starting to see how much of a bullshit artist 50 is.
Drake gon outsell him, hahahaaaa!
internet gangstas yall niggas funny a nigga not gonna sell millions when your album is leaked a month early even with one album not doing so good he still sold records more than everybody he had beef with and got more money than them and bisd was a dope album but with a name like spartacus you probly like fake bloods (game), homo rappers(drake, wayne, kanye) and cops (rick ross)
D-boy (duke boy???), you must actually be 50 cent. Still all hung up on previous album sales and leaks, whaa whaa whaaaa. The 50 cent wave has crashed, believe that.
Game harder than 50, even if you say he’s fake.
Kanye turns everything he touches to gold, even if you say he’s homo.
Ross album doin better than BISD, even if you say he’s a cop.
Wayne got balls to do his own thing, even if you say he’s homo.
People like Curtis hurt rap with fake ass personas. And oh yeah, he can’t act for shit.
G-Unit…………
quiet dogs bite hard lmao hoe ass white boy i 50 cent is far from the best but everybody who has a problem with the man has not done what hes done im not dick riding its facts d-boy detroit boy get it right loud mutt

Rebirth isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be, but to go from 1 million sold in a week to 176,000, says something about how fickle people are. It should also convince labels to stop delaying release dates. If this had come out when it was supposed too, it probably would have sold alot more.
Would have, shmood have. Fuck outta here.
Rebirth is a terrible album, that’s why 90% of the 1 million fans that bought Tha Carter III first week didn’t buy this excuse of an album.
Do some math man its 83 percent you ignorant fuck! Its mainly cuz most of his fans are just hiphop fans not rock. and I agree with nico that if it would have come out a month and a half ago like it should of then he wouldve sold atleast twice as much. Got leaked about a month ago that really hurt!!!!
50 cent- So disrespectful-IS FIRE!! CHECK OUT BANKS NEW SINGLE FT JUELZ
G-UNIT
…HAS 3 MEMBERS.
slaughterhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at Before I Self Destruct’s sales and then look at Drake’s So Far Gone. Don’t forget So Far Gone is an EP
And it was released much sooner
people are getting tiredx of lil wayne now he is doing too muxch he needto stay off that coke and lean and slow down and take a break….
Everybody making a big deal about album sales doin bad albums havent always sold millions if you do your research on music backin the day b4 NWA rap albums almost never really did well really albums perions if you sold close to gold u did good..everybody start makin a big deal cuz platinum was the new thing but nothing last forever
Follow @ shawtyacegetem
Lil Wayne been off the lean for over a year now man so where you been? How can you hate on the hardest working hiphop artist since 2pac??
And as far as hiphop sales before NWA, there were no where near the fans there are today and piracy is whats killing the industry. Theres more fans then ever and if there was no bootlegging they would make plat ablums 5 mill just like they raised it in the 80’s. Gold used to be 1 mill sold man do your research!!!
I read all that bullshit bickering and everybody is confused as to what kind of album rebirth is. Baby even said it, Rebirth is not a rock album. If that was rock then I the fuckin pope.It has synth beats and ethereal soundin bullshit sounds like a fuckin 80’s movie. Only a guitar riff every once in a while. Auto tune come on. That is no fuckin rock album. Thats an excuse and thats all it sounds like. Whining ass Wayne Stans making excuses why the shit aint sellin. Spit the dick out!
The genre of this album is not rock, nor hip hop. It is called garbage
SPIT THE DICK OUT WAYNE FANS, SPIT THE DICK OUT!
LMFAO!
damn right!!!
co-sign
fuck you fag go suck a white dick and stick it up your ass. dont hate cause hes black you racist fuck
Going from one million to 176k that´s called a flop. I expected Relapse would sell more after it received a grammy, it will take him months to go double platinum 50 is done, I mean for real, 387k since November…that´s poor. So far gone sells pretty good for an EP, will outsell BISD. And Blueprint doin better than Relapse compared to the same time periode. It would have outsold Relapse if Eminem aint drop refill
LOL @ 170,000 being called IMPRESSIVE! LOL @ Wayne being called “Experimental” cause he sung like an underwater robot over boring rock riffs and down sound pump kicks. Also I gotta LOL at one more thing. LOL @ a country star- (COUNTRY THE WORSE MUSIC EVER IMO ESPECIALLY 2010 COUNTRY POP) beating out HIP HOP. I don’t wanna say it’s dead, but DAMN. Sorry for caps. Check out this underground rap. I KNOW YOU HATE IT BUT CLICK MY NAME- Free music, picture, and comics in PDF format. Lol!
you’re forgetting that white people are the majority in the US, so its nothin for a country singer who white people like to beat out a rapper and most blacks don’t even buy cds like that
i though 50 cent went gold already… according to RIAA
http://www.riaa.org/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH
just search Before I Self Destruct – 50 Cent
Album sales or no album sales… Lil Wayne murders! 176 is pretty good for a record with no radio play and a rapper on rock beats. I don’t personally like most of the album, but Wayne is the best RAPPER Alive! 50 was a fad and Wayne is the fad right now, but regardless, Wayne smashes over 50. 50’s flow is repetitive. Wayne is just mad creative with his variation on rhymes and words. Plus, the guy deserves his success cuz he puts in way more work than anyone else with the exception of Kanye.
