Last week, Lil Yachty and ScHoolboy Qtalked about Lil Wayne’s “insane” album sales while expressing how stunned they were at the numbers he has generated over his illustrious career.
During an episode of the A Safe Place that aired in late March, the two rappers discussed album sales and how impressive Weezy’s run was.
“Lil Wayne did a million on a leaked, bootleg album! Tha Carter III. I had that album months before it came out. N-gga at the barber shop had it in the back of his Buick,” Yachty began. “Everyone clowned Rebirth. That’s his rock album, right? He was Drake before Drake!”
For context, the 2010 album in question moved 176,000 units in its first week.

To put this accolade in perspective, ScHoolboy Q’s latest album, Blue Lips peaked at No.13 on the Billboard 200 tally and, according to Hip Hop By The Numbers, sold 34,000 units in its first week.
