Kanye West took to Twitter on Thursday (September 27) with an air of humility. While reconfirming the release date for Yandhi was Saturday (September 29), Kanye conceded Lil Wayne’s highly anticipated album Tha Carter V will outsell his follow-up to ye.
“We’re releasing Yandhi Saturday night,” Kanye tweeted. “We know it will come in number 2 to my brother Lil Wayne and that’s lovely. The universe needs Ye and Wayne music at the same time.”
Billboards for Tha C5 have started popping up in New York City as the magical hour inches closer. On Tuesday (September 25), Wayne shared a video explaining Tha C5 would drop on his 36th birthday (September 27).
The project’s release will put an end to a long, drawn out chapter with Cash Money. Wayne was finally released from his contract earlier this year.
Kanye, on the other hand, announced Yandhi last Tuesday.
C5 > Yandhi
C5 GREATER THAN Yandhi.
I hope they are both dope. That being said, C5 will easily outsell Yandi… but will it be a better project?!?! I have doubt from the sole standpoint that this has been sitting on the shelves for so long and we have to question “has Wayne been dedicated to his craft over this entire time?” I really hope the album is great, but fear that it might be something like “Rebirth” or “I Am Not A Human Being 1& 2”. Will it hit? Being an older hip-hop head, I though Dr. Dre’s “Compton” was a great album, but it didn’t really get much push after initial drop because time isn’t always the best thing (however, it did introduce Anderson.Paak to the world). I hope that C5 and Yandi are both incredible, but I have my concerns on both as well!
Way more concerned about Yhandi being good. Ye was such a disappointment all that press all the buildup and he gave us a trash 20 minute album
Why do people like Lil Wayne? He has always been terrible.
why do people like Kanye? he’s always been mediocre
Mediocre is far better than horrible
The universe is rolling it’s eyes at that comment. Only Kanye can show humility and egocentrism in the same comment.
SUCH an ego to say people listen to your music. as if 15 years of #1s wasnt proof enough.
A 12 year old kid who raps at the lunch table to his friends can put out a better album right now.
he probably has a bigger pito than you, too
True this dude’s time has came and went
If you up on game what to look for now in the Hip Hop Culture now after seeing Kanya West , Lil Wayne , Jay Z & T.I (Swagger Like Us performance at the Grammys ) check M.I.A Airplanes video for clues check the timeline from then to now I know your why what for I just watch Trump speak to the world need to be in the know !
Also will have an extra day of sales, but who am I kidding, Yandhi won’t beat C5 on sales. Either way, this is a good week for Hip-Hop. Been a sucky year for me, but at least we had high profiles releases this year to compensate personal issues (y)
It’s bin an amazing year for hip hop! New Czarface and MF DOOM. New LUPE. NEW common. 3 new Westside Gunn. New Ghostface and action Bronson next month and more. Plenty of Curren$y to name a few
