Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 7/21/2013

    For the second week in a row, Jay-Z held the top spot on the charts with Magna Carta Holy Grail. Jay sold just under 130,000 second-week units, nearly double that of #2 artist Sara Bareilles.

    Ace Hood’s first album since leaving Def Jam Records is also the highest-charting of his career. Trials & Tribulations, Hood’s debut with Cash Money/We The Best/Universal Republic Records scored a Top 5 on the charts, a first for DJ Khaled’s longtime protege. The LP sold over 33,000 first-week copies, also a benchmark feat for the five-plus-year veteran.

    J. Cole crossed the 500,000 mark with Born Sinner, making it the second Roc Nation album to grab a RIAA plaque this month, after the aforementioned the M.C.H.G.

    One of Atlantic Records’ newest artists, Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s Kevin Gates hit the charts for the first time with Stranger Than Fiction. Available for free stream online, the digital-only release features label-mate Wiz Khalifa, and Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J.

    Also hitting the Top 200 is Strange Music band ¡Mayday!. Another Florida act, ¡Mayday!’s second group effort in as many years, Believers, follows band-member Wrekonize’s own The War Within, which debuted on the Top 200 earlier this month.

    Ace Hood Thrives After Five Years Of Trials & Tribulations

    In his fourth album, Ace Hood hit record-high’s in chart position and first-week sales. We The Best’s flagship artist found 2013 success in the single “Bugatti,” which features both Rick Ross and Future. Now moved to Universal Republic and backed by Cash Money, the Florida vet continues his collaborative history with Lil Wayne on Trials & Tribulations, in addition to work with Meek Mill, Chris Brown, and ’70s Soul/Disco singer Betty Wright.

    ¡Mayday! Has Plenty Of Believers

    Another Sunshine State act, ¡Mayday!, hit the charts for the second time in as many Summers. The group’s fourth album, and second nationally-distributed effort with Strange Music, features label-mates Tech N9ne and Stevie Stone, along with Kardinal Offishall, and Kansas City, Missouri independent sensation Irv Da Phenom. The LP includes the video single, “HighRide.”

    The #75 debut is an improvement from 2012’s #86 debut with the critically-acclaimed Take Me To Your Leader.

    3. Only in the states J.cole outsells Kanye anywhere else in the world this also fact Kanye out sold him. worldwide sales Kanye’s got him just proves most music buyers in the states don’t know what they are talking about.Kanyes album will be remembered J.coles won’t kind of like how his last album is already forgotten and ppl still talk about college dropout to date..eventually you guys will catch up. also first btw

      1. you far from first btw. and fuck them other fruity ass countries bumping that weak ass album. kanye is not hip-hop

      2. yeezus will be remembered as kanyes biggest piece of shit in a time in his life when he became extremely delusional and full of himself

      3. NO MAN YOUR FULL OF SHIT KANYE MY HAVE SOLD MORE WORLD WIDE THAN J.COLE BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT BORN SINNER IS BETTER I’VE LISTENED TO BOTH YEEZUS AND BORN SINNER AND J.COLE’S ALBUM TAKES THE CAKE I MEAN REALLY MAN STOP HYPING UP KANYES ALBUM THIS IS HIS WORST ALBUM HE EVER PUT OUT AT LEAST J.COLE TOOK HIS TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS GOOD BETTER THAN HIS DEBUT SO IT WONT BE FORGOTTEN BECAUSE MANY ARE SAYING IT’S HIS BEST WORK NEXT TO HIS MIXTAPES IT EVEN SHOWS IN THE SALES COME GOLD IN 5 WEEKS LAST TIME IT TOOK 5 AND A HALF MONTH FOR HIM TO ACHIEVE GOLD PLEASE DUDE GET A LIFE U NEED TO UNDERSTAND HARD WORK, TIME, AND ENERGY MUST BE PUT INTO YOUR CRAFTS AND KANYE IS LEARNING A VALUABLE LESSON IN THIS DON’T ALWAYS THINK JUST BECAUSE YOUR POPULAR U CAN PUT OUT ANYTHING AND PEOPLE WILL JUST BUY IF U HAVEN’T BUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO IT ITS GARBAGE THAT’S WHAT THE YEEZUS ALBUM IS KANYE IS BETTER THAN THIS AND I EXPECTED BETTER FROM HIM U SHOULD TO INSTEAD OF RIDING HIS DICK ALL THE TIME

    4. As a brand new accountant for MMG i can say that Jay really sold 37K and Ace Hood Sold 130K? If you dont believe im one than ask dentaldamboy

    5. What happened to the million Samsung brought? Thought they were going to be recognised now?
      Good to see J.Cole outsell Kanye

      1. Would you give up if you were making money? Ace’s shit probably got bootlegged to death, so if all these broke ass fans actually bought the album he probably could have done 100k.

    6. Kendrick Lamar & j cole are the best new rapper’s out now & both have a platinum & gold plaques congrats!!!!

    7. wow man… bout to step and i see my dog ace hood done did it again. number for billboard album in the country and the number 1 hiphop and r and b album in teh country! congrats little homie. not only that but he outsold “king” kendrick and j cole all together. he sold about 8 times more then kendrick actually. and over 10k more units then cole…. dude is putting up weezus numbers and this only his second album. big shout out to the homie! ya bish? ya you bish! ya damn bish!!!

      1. yo fresh where your boy weezy? he fall off the charts already? LOL thats too bad ya bish ya bish ya biiiiSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!

      2. nah mane. he here to support his family the rich gang. he put his album production a side for a hotlanata minute and he gon pump rich gang. they finna be number 1 next week. not only in rap but hot rock too. they got some fly fresh rock trap tracks. ya bish? oh wait ya you do bish. ya damn bish!!!

      1. Then i ethered you on RAID and no one ever looked at you the same.

        Niggas starting record labels but cant even go gold!

    8. how the fuck J Cole sell 300k first week and Ace Hood only doing 37k on Cash Money with Future and Ross on his single? LMAO times they are a changin

      1. He’s Ace “Hood” = different sound/different music. Hard for people to really like. No such thing as hard core rap anymore since “hip-hop” is what gets you paid.

    9. As an accountant for YMCMB i can confirm that Ace hood had many more pre orders and his sales added up to 200k first week. for next week we have also been receiving orders for this most anticipated album of the year. so he will be gold in 2 weeks time easy. Wale stay winning he out selling kayne west with his flop album yeezus. next week Richgang will be certified platinum upon its release, and be 2x plat the week following that due to the high amount of orders we have received at YMCMB for this album. critics are saying this album could be the best compiliation album of the decade!! YMCMB stay making accomplishments in this industry.

      1. how does it feel to see that wayne’s album isn’t even on the charts anymore and jay z has sold more in 2 weeks than wayne has sold in five months? does it hurt your feelings you bitchmade fake hoe?

      2. wayne sold too many records this week so they could not be listed. check billboard, wayne is still outselling your favorite arist and hes on top of the rap game. who else can go plat in 1 week? and have all these plat artists on his label. this album just took a bit longer because he wanted to give the other rappers a chance to beat him but they still failed. he will be platinum next week before any of these rappers and his album came out recently. kendricks had all year and he flopped. same with gay z and yeezus

    10. Well, another week, another weekly sales. Numbers don’t lie. Hov again proves why he’s one of the most successful artists in hip-hop. Congrats to Cole for going gold again, hopefully, he’ll get his first platinum album. Macklemore, Kanye, and Wale are doing well and Mac Miller’s doing good for an indie artist. Everyone else flopped. I don’t know why Ace Hood continues putting out albums when he barely goes gold.

    11. I’m hoping Kendrick reaches that 1M before anyone else ESPECIALLY before Macklemore. Honestly, who the fuck thinks Macklemore is any good? No offense, but he’s just radio play. And you know damn well he ain’t write anything.

      1. what do you mean he didnt write anything??? are you saying he doesnt write his own lyrics or songs?

    12. As an accountant for young money, I can tell you wayne will never sell over 300,000 copies of an album in a week again. It’s because he can’t rap anymore, his time is over. Jay z beat his ass when it comes to numbers 500,000 in a week is way more than any artist on our bitchass label can sell. We have no money here, we’re going broke fast. Soon birdman will have to file for bankruptcy, I can confirm it.

    13. wayne only sold 200,000 his first week, jay sold 500,000. that means that my bitchass is wrong about everything. Wayne will never sell more than 200,000 because he sucks as an artist now. His music is terrible and not even the high school kids who used to bump his bitchass music listen to it anymore. As an accountant for young money, i can confirm that we are now going bankrupt. We have no money because no one likes our aritists, they are all terrible and have no good music and no money. No new friends, no new money. that’s the motto here.

    14. where french montana album at?!! That shit sold 234,000 last week and has been certified 10 times platinum

      1. french montana is another rapper that bit the dust.. everyone forgot about that nigga’s album..

      2. i dont think he’s sold over 100k yet, !!!!

        and that nigga thought he was gonna move 200k first week

    15. As an accountant for YMCMB i can confirm that due to the high number of waynes sales his album could not be listed because the numbers were so big. he is already platinum now and got his plaq before kendric lemar. Tyga was just certified gold last week. YMCMB stay winning we have more plaqs then roc nation. jay z album flopped he cant even go plat in one week like real nigga weezy. PAINT THA TOWN EVERYTHING REDDDD. gay-z dont want it with the bloods he gget his ass shot up. as an accountant for YMCMB i can confirm that we invest a lot of money in guns and we are really about this life

      1. i am not a bitch. my name is dentaldamboy and i am an accountant for YMCMB. You are the bitch.

      2. I am not wrong. I am an accountant for YMCMB therefore i can confirm that i am speaking the truth. numbers dont lie.

      3. There you go again lying. You’re right about one thing; numbers don’t lie and they say you’re full of shit.

      4. I would like to make one thing clear. I am not Lil Wayne, Tyga’s, or Birdman’s personal accountant. I am a corporate accountant for Cash Money Records. Cash Money Records is always current on its obligations to the IRS and all state and local tax collection agencies. However, I do know that both Wayne and Tyga are very liquid. Any tax delinquencies on their parts are due to the IRS not accepting certain write-offs that they claim. it is not due to a lack of money to pay their taxes. All of these discrepancies have been quickly resolved. In some instances, it is beneficial for an individual to forfeit properties whose market values are below appraised values to extinguish tax liens.

    16. nice job cole on your 2nd gold album.. ye gonna get his too.. and jigga still holding the top spot.. ace hood with another flop and no lil wayne in sight.. roc nation is winning..

      1. IT’S REALLY CRAZY HOW BOTH J.COLE AND DRAKE HAVE FOUND VERY SIMILAR SUCCESS IN THEIR DEBUT AND SOPHOMORE ALBUMS BOTH THESE LIGHT SKINNED RAPPER ARTIST HAVE ACHIEVED THE NUMBER ONE ALBUMS TWICE IN THE COUNTRY DRAKE WITH THANK ME LATER AND TAKE CARE J.COLE WITH COLE WORLD THE SIDELINE STORY AND BORN SINNER WHICH DEBUTED AT NUMBER TWO BUT WENT TO NUMBER ONE ANYWAY, IN ADDICTION TO THAT SUCCESS THEY BOTH ALSO EARNED RIAA CERTIFICATIONS FOR THEIR ALBUMS AS WELL TWICE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE J.COLE WENT CERTIFIED GOLD FOR BOTH HIS NUMBER 1 ALBUMS AND DRAKE WENT CERTIFIED MULTI PLATINUM FOR BOTH HIS NUMBER 1 ALBUMS IT’S JUST MIND BOGGLING HOW ALIKE THEY ARE AS MEN AND THEIR RACE AS WELL AS ACHIVING SUCCESS AS RAP ARTISTS LOL SHIT I GIVE UP Y’ALL J.COLE AND DRAKE ARE OFFICIALLY BROTHERS IN MY BOOK EVEN THEIR MOTHERS ARE WHITE LOL TWINS FROM A ANOTHER MOMMA LOL

    20. MAYDAY’s album has such great music on it, so dissaointed that they are failed to be recognized by the masses

    21. Sometimes when I stop into the studio to listen to Kendrick, I swear he sounds like Lil Wayne’s daughter.

      1. at least he dont wear lil waynes daughters clothes like her daddy Dwayne Carter the fucking fruitcake blood 5 star skateboarder rock n roll god

    22. Cole continues to show progress commercially and overall as an artist. He has the hits (Power Trip, Crooked Smile, She Knows) and the substance (Mo Money, Runaway, Rich Niggaz, Kenny Lofton even though it wasn’t on his album)

      Album three will be even bigger and better as he will work with more producers

      1. I hope he doesnt work with more producers. Only if he feels the need to. His production skills improved from his first and It’s crazy that he did his whole album except for the interludes.

      1. lol…my homie just pointed out that ACE never actually said it was his Bugatti, he just woke up in it.

      1. nigga aint underrated, ppl just tired of that same shit. IF YOU’VE HEARD ONE ACE HOOD VERSE, YOU’VE HEARD THEM ALL.

    23. You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. He told me that in 96, Biggie was looking to get out of his contract with Bad Boy so he could sign with Cash Money. If Cash Money is right for Biggie, then it’s clearly the top record label. Unfortunately, Jay-Z and Diddy found out about Biggie’s upcoming departure and had him shot. Also, Birdman as always a role model for Pac. Most of you don’t know this, but the song Hit Em Up was originally supposed to be Split Em Up, a song where Pac brags about fucking Faith, leading to her breakup with BIG. But Birdman explained to Pac that real gangsta’s talking about killing people, so that’s how Hit Em Up took on such a violent tone.

      YMCMB for life. We got the game by the clit!

      1. I am changing my name to dentalbitch from now on, I like it up the ass from Birdman and Wayne

    24. mackelmore outsells kendrick again mackelmore will sell 20k for life and outsell everyone like taylor swifts first album. Mackelmore runs hiphop

    25. “Metal rusts, leaves turning to dust, as the difference between love and lust clarifies as trust” – Lil Wayne

    26. The projections for Rich Gang can’t be right. There’s no way Rich Gang, with Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Birdman, amongst Rich Gang, would sell less than 20k.

      1. hurts doesnt it to know that no one fucks with Birdman like that and all those features couldnt save him

      2. whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep better at night knowing ymcmb’s run is over. Drake is gonna leave and they will go bankrupt

      3. YMCMB’s run is not over. These projections are wrong and will change. Drake is staying at ymcmb and ymcmb has far more cash than you think. YMCMB will stay in business forever.

      4. Men lie, women lie, charts compiled by men lie, eyes don’t and they say it will go gold 1st week at least.

      5. It’s a terrific album. Rich Gang is the new Jackson 5. Family group. The worst song, however, was 100 flavors with wack kdot. Other than that, great album.

      6. WRONG!! Rich Gang album sucked ass. They’re nothing like the Jackson 5, that’s blasphemous. Every song was shit, even with Kendrick having the best verse on the whole album.

      7. This is a concept album. Every song had to do with money and pussy. That’s artistic intent. That’s why I love it.

      8. There’s no concept in the album, it’s the same-sounding shit that’s out there, nothing new or artistic about it. You like shitty music.

      9. This concept is money and pussy. The lyrics are different and the sound changes each time. Artistic intent here.

      10. That “same sounding shit” is a concept album with a variety of production with plenty of artistic intent.

      11. It’s just another generic mainstream rap album with the same production and lyrical content, nothing artistic there.

      12. Your hatred for YMCMB is clouding reason. This album is a concept album about pussy, money, and family. They use pianos, synthesizers, and a variety of instruments.

      13. Wrong again, dentalboy. It’s another shitty generic mainstream rap album that’s not breaking any new ground at all. Stop over-thinking shit.

      14. Rich Gang isn’t meant to be personal. It’s meant to be a club banger album and it succeed big in that regard. One of the best albums of the year. Magna Carta was shit.

        Tyga and Ace Hood did go gold in their first weeks. It’s a tracking error they unfortunately forgot to fix.

      15. Wrong. It fails as an album. It’s just more generic crap. Magna Carta is better than that. Tyga and Ace Hood did not go gold at all. They didn’t even sell 100k their 1st week.

      16. Wrong again. They did not go gold at all. There’s no errors; they really did sell that much; all of the industry experts and RIAA will tell you that.

      1. thats hustling backwards

        why would they buy Kendrick’s album but let French Montana and Chief Keef both flop like a fish outta water?

    27. where is French Montana, Tyga and Lil Wayne at?

      where is Quoteman to hate on Kendrick and Macklemore

      1. They each sold too many for them to be accounted.

        Kendrick and Wacklemore sales are overaccounted.

      2. Wrong again, dentalbitch. French, Wayne, and Tyga all flopped hard. Nobody’s sales are overaccounted; they all count and Kendrick and Macklemore sold more than 900,000 copies.

      3. You believe everything rappers say in their songs? Because if you do, you’re an idiot. Nobody’s hating here.

      4. How about I just don’t like him? Just because somebody doesn’t like your favorite artist, that doesn’t make them a hater, they have a different opinion.

      5. No, it doesn’t. Being a hater is not liking something for no reason. Not liking something with a good reason doesn’t make you a hater. By your logic, anyone who doesn’t like reality television are just haters, anyone who doesn’t like Will Ferrell movies are just haters.

      6. The logic Im using is natural logic. Not liking something makes them a hater. You don’t have any good reason for hating on ymcmb. You probably secretly like them because you obviously keep listening to their music.

      7. No. There’s no logic in what you say, just assumptions. Not liking someone doesn’t make them a hater if they have a reason (i.e. if they’ve committed a heinous act). I do have a reason to not like YMCMB because their music is terrible, simple and plain.

      8. YMCMB makes great music. You may not see that but that makes you a hater. Haters like you need to get laid more like Wayne in Tapout said.

      9. @^^^ That’s hating right there. Get laid more and you will like YMCMB.

        @Anonymous: Yes that makes you a hater. Nothing wrong with that.

      10. Wrong and wrong again. No amount of sex will change your opinions on music or anything. Not liking someone does not make you a hater, you’re acting like a stan.

      11. Obviously, you don’t get laid because you spend all your time commenting on here. I do too but that’s part of my job as an accountant for ymcmb. Not liking something does make you a hater. I don’t like Jay Z so that makes me a hater. Nothing wrong with that. You’re acting like a fucking bitch here.

      12. More lies you made up. Keep making up bullshit; it’s not gonna make everything you say true. You’re the only person acting like a bitch.

      13. As an accountant at Cash Money, I can confirm I never heard of UNLV and Yella Boy because I really don’t know shit about Cash Money

      14. No, I’m not. You’re a fucking troll. YMCMB ain’t on top of shit. Now you’re dickriding Bieber? Thanks for proving how much of a faggot you are.

      15. You suck Jay Z’s cock every day. YMCMB and Bieber running this mother fucking game. Mad because you can’t get laid? Take your fucking anger over someone else cunt.

      16. Wrong again, bitch. YMCMB and Bieber ain’t running shit. I always get laid, I have nothing to be mad about. YOU need some pussy.

      17. Obviously you didn’t because you spend your time commenting here troll. At least it’s part of my job.

    28. I knew Rich Gang would bomb hard but damn, less than 20k copies predicted? If Drake leaves YMCMB, they are done for.

      1. Hey Dental, since you’re the accountant at Ca$h Money…

        Who is UNLV and Yella Boy?

    29. Million Dollar and Tapout are the exact same song just with different lyrics. It’s the EXACT SAME generic beat.

      1. Same production beat
        No new friends.

        And sentences like “She got that pussy” and “Pop that Pussy and words like “nigga, hater, swag, pussy.”

      1. Oh my GOD, get a life you fucking loser, and stop posting comments about Ja Rule, the biggest punk bitch in hip hop. Do something with your life, you pathetic moron.

    30. all these weak sales are disgracefull once drakes album comes out he will embarrass all these wack rappers drake is the face of rap and he runs it *FACT

      1. LOL U ARE SO DELUSIONAL MR. DRAKE RUNS RAP DRAKE WON’T DO MORE THAN JAY Z HE HAD HIS TIME IN THE SPOTLIGHT HE’LL DO 512,000 FIRST WEEK I’M JUST BEING NICE LOL CAUSE BY SEPTEMBER IS HERE WHICH IS TIME DRAKE WILL RELEASE ALBUM NUMBER THREE JAY-Z AND J.COLE WILL HAVE ALREADY MOVED OVER 1.5 AND 2.5 MILLION RECORDS LOL SORRY DRAKE HE WON’T BE ABLE TO CATCH UP CAUSE J.COLE IS RUNNING HIP HOP ALONGSIDE THE CEO JAY-Z AND THAT WILL BE THE CASE FROM HERE ON OUT AND BEYOND SO DEAL WITH IT ROC NATION IS KING OF ALL OF TODAY’S HIP HOP RECORD LABELS NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP THAT SO JOIN OUR ALLIANCE OR SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE ILLUMINATI KILLING THE RAP GAME LIKE A SUPER CATEGORY 5 WE ARE GOD TO ALL U LAME RAP NIGGAS

      3. You mean R&B and POP, you stupid ass muthafucker. You think REAL hip hop heads buy Drake albums? It’s all young kids and females, you dumbass idiotic fuckhead. And, you’re probably only saying this because you heard Gay-Z call Drake the “Kobe Bryant” of rap, and you’re a Gay-Z cockrider. Fuckin simple-minded follower faggot.

      4. the so called realhiphop heads are virgins with no money no hope of pussy and dont buy shit drake has fans of all genres cause he is the most talented theres a reason why hiphop is famous and its because of drake not these nonamer wack realhiphop artists or what ever you little internet nerds call them.

      5. some of these real hip hop heads are grown ass men with families and real jobs who been down with this shit since drake was wearing diapers in his mommas nice ass house (aka the bottom)

      6. damn homie!!!! hiphop is famous because of drake? LMAO!!!!! what else you gonna come up with. i cant wait to hear your next delusion

    31. As an accountant for YMCMB i can confirm that the sales projections for Rich Gang are false. I have already been up all night in my office at YMCMB Headquarters counting up the pre orders we have had and they keep on rising. at the moment we are one track to sell at least a million copies first. making us certified platinum.

      1. keep spreading lies this time next week we will all be laughing at YMCMB and Birdman for their second flop in the last 2 weeks!

      2. I am just joking, i don’t really work for YMCMB, I work at the YMCA, and am a janitor for a dentist. I just have some strange obsession with YMCMB and Lil Dwayne. Anyways, sorry for all my lies and stupid, pointless comments. I make things up to feel better about myself.

    32. I have come to the realization that I am the biggest fucking loser on this site. I lie about who I am and what I do. I’m just catfishing everybody. I’m just an average gay male who is 300 lbs and loves eating weiners, I mean hot dogs. I work at the YMCA, and am a janitor’s assitant at a dentist’s office. I just wish Lil Wayne would date me, it’s so frustrating being obsessed with such a hottie like Lil Wayne. I wish Lil Wayne would kiss me and suck me off like he does to Birdman. Birdman is SOOO lucky! UGGGGHHH, I’m so jealous!

    33. Rich Gang 20k first week! YMCMB’s second major flop of the summer! Tyga flopped, Wayne flopped compared to his last efforts, Ace Hood flopped and now Birdman’s about to flop!!!

      1. They make their money off digital singles not album sales. I bet they still come out ahead or else they wouldn’t be releasing these albums.

    34. on behalf of Quoteman I just wanna say fuck Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore, their success is less legit than Officer Rickys because they appeal to weird loners! Quoteman couldnt be here this week because he’s working overtime at the prison where he works as a correction officer just like his idol Officer Rick Ross!

    35. “yeah right last album aint cracked 7k yet in a year and half LOLOLOLOL”

      I wonder how Ja feels knowing he’s had one album given away for free, then a follow up to a multi platinum album do 7k.

    36. My blood niggas down miami who are connected with rick ross have told me that an MMG and Murder Inc. collaboration for a supergroup is being made AS WE SPEAK. I want people to know this because the face of rap is about to change. Rick Rozzay, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Gunplay, Wale and Meek Mill are coming together. This is REAL RULE TALK. This is such a game changer and my blood niggas told me that Rick Ross and Ja Rule have collaborated in song and lyrically NOBODY is on there level. Be ready for a game changing club banging HOT TRAP BEATS MADE BY DJ KHALED WITH HOT FLOW FROM ROZZAY MILL RULE. This is the shit we have being waiting for. THIS WILL BE BIGGER THAN TUPAC AND BIGGIE. Rozzay will be bigger that biggie niggaz and ja rule will be the next tupac.

    37. Montana is about to go platinum you can’t stop this, i work at YMCMB and i was told by Birdman himself

    39. “Only coming out ahead because they dont pay their producers or artists! Its a fool proof scam!”

      They pay the artists who actually put in the work and move units. That’s the same anywhere. Tyga’s bitching about not getting paid. If he’s not smart enough to read the fine print on his contracts, then he deserves to get shafted. All while living in a house, driving an expensive car and wearing jewelry he otherwise couldn’t afford.

      1. Mannie Fresh ain’t get paid and hes practically responsible for all of that labels early success. You saying he didnt put in work and move units? Fuck outta here

      1. nigga said Drake Jr. Damn I didnt know Kendrick was a little wimp child actor from Canada who grew up in the burbs crying over his momma not buying him his fav sandwich

    40. Let me put down some of the rumors you have.

      Wayne is wearing his daughter’s clothes but that’s the new trend started by someone else

      Drake is staying at YMCMB

      Rich Gang will go gold 1st week

      Father and son kissing is natural behavior.

      YMCMB running this world.

      1. so wayne is a trend hopper? a grown man is wearing girls clothes because someone else did it first? LOL thats even worse than if he started that shit!!!!

        since when does 20k first week amount to gold? last i checked you gotta move 500k to get gold, gotta change the name of the group to FLOP GANG

    41. True, but at least Ross goes hard in the paint. I bet Kendrick has never even jay walked in his life.

      1. Kendrick grew up in COMPTON in a family full of gang bangers. He saw more gangster shit before the age of 10 than Ross could ever imagine in his fake ass raps.

    42. “Damn I didnt know Kendrick was a little wimp child actor from Canada”

      You seem to have a lot of hostility towards Canada. Bad vacation? Did you get assaulted in the men’s room at a hockey game? I need some clarification pal.

      1. im from canada you loser. it doesnt change the fact that drake is a little wimp from the burbs. props for him making it to the top of the rap game but it dont change his past

    43. “You saying he didnt put in work and move units?”

      It’s nobody’s fault but MF’s if he didn’t know his paperwork by heart and demand he get paid before handing over beats. Back in the day he had success. A lot in fact, but so did Wayne and Wayne is still relevant today cause he’s smart enough to get the money instead of sitting around waiting for a check that isn’t coming.

      1. Funny i just read yesterday your boy Birdman was trying to reconcile with Mannie. Probably has something to do with them Rich Gang sales projections…. 18-21k first week LMAO!!!!!!!!!

    44. “Probably has something to do with them Rich Gang sales projections…. 18-21k first week LMAO!!!!!!!!!”

      Those are hilariously bad numbers, but like I mentioned b4, they make their money off digital singles.

    45. “You saying he didnt put in work and move units?”

      He wasn’t the one moving those units. He came up with the beats and rapped a little, but he wasn’t the talent. He was the producer. There’s a big difference.

    46. Producers are a dime a dozen though as evidenced by the fact Cash Money kept right on going after Mannie left.

      1. yet their best selling album 400 degreez was produced entirely by mannie fresh. call me when a lil wayne album sells 5 million
