The only thing that it proves is that this climate of Hip Hop fans care more about first week sales in regard to their favorite artist vs. the first week sales of Hip Hop in it's "big boom period"? The fact that Jay Z sold 5 million copies of Vol. 2 without selling a milli in the first week speaks volumes (no pun) for rap sales than vs. rap sales now. If Wayne had dropped Carter 3 before 2005, him selling a 1 million copies the first week, but topping out at 3.5 million overall would've been considered a flop of epic proportions.

In today's climate in terms of C3 vs. BP3, it just means that Wayne is more popular than Jay Z. I think this only applies domestically though.

BP3>>>>>>>>C3

so it dont say nothing.

 

[bigrizz]

Because wayne makes more popish records and has the universal machine behind him....And barely raps about anything, just rhyming words. The sheep love buffonery

 

[Already Home_17]

and he wasnt one of em

neither has nas,pac,ice cube,biggie,kanye,mos def,etc.
those are respected and talented rappers that's never cracked a milli in album sales the first week so what's your point?

quality>quantity always has been and always will be
idc if c3 sold a million it's first week of release. I can name a million albums that were better

 

[ustreet_monsta]

A better question would be why did C3 only sell 3.5 million copies?

 

[bankrupt baller]

it says roc nation and usmarin could not buy more

lol...........

 

[Scholar Jaw]

It says that Wayne is the best in the business right now, is that really news?

 

[Scholar Jaw]

it says roc nation and usmarin could not buy more

LOL. People need to stop hatin on weezy. It aint his fault that old Jay cant keep up.

 

[bugg03]

Wayne and YM are about to hit the oversaturation period. It happens to everybody Nelly , Diddiy, hammer all sold way more than lil wayne and then one day people got tired of them. It will happen to him too.

 

[Knightryder]

why, like wayne, went 1 mil in the first week and ended at 3 million

while jay bp3, did about 400 and ended and 3 million

 

[son of 1973]

it means jay is 40 plus. he's jordan on the wizards, amazing for his age but not in his prime no more. when wayne is that age or even 35 it'll be the same. happens to everybody.

I know over the years the likes of LL Cool J have had big female fan bases but Eminem i think has the biggest as far as females actually buying his Album's, going to his concerts, having his posters etc

If you look at Eminem's sales and the records he has sold a majority of his sales come from teenage girls and females in general mostly white girls yes but he has so many black, latin etc female fan's too

I've seen concert footage where white girls have literally cried and got really emotional when he came on stage i never seen any other Rap Artist get that kinda love from females

 

[P. Town]

Are you saying that you are obese? Cause I don't know no other broads that fuck with Eminem

Jay Z's sound is much more Pop than Wayne. "Young Forever", "Run This Town", and "Empire State of Mind" are more Pop than any single Wayne has had in his career.

Look, Eminem is White so he automatically has a bigger platform of cross races and genders at his show "just because" he's the most successful White rap artist in history so by default he's gonna have the largest audience in any demographic category you throw out there because White's identify with a White rapper and Blacks identify with a dope artist period and everyone in betwen are just like "well, if the honky is cool with Blacks and White's then I guess we can like him too. And most of the girls into Em are White girls and the Black ones are just there with their man or girls just to be there, not necessarily Em. My point is no other rap artists have as big a fan base as Em so how can another rapper has more female fans? LL Cool J could have a concert with 100% female audience but if he's not selling out the venue then how can he have more female fans than Em when his shows are sold out?

 

[usmarin3]

Eminem has a teeny bopper fanbase, artist like Pac, LL,TI,etc have grown women fan base.

 

[WildcatOffense]

Same here..

cosign.....

 

[wordsRweapons]

Ive been to Wayne concert, kanye concert, jay-concert, and eminem concert.......Eminem had the baddest bitches show up real talk. Jay comes in second.

 

[nujerz84]

I know and met plenty of white & latina girls/young women that are big Em fans.. Em fan base and demographic is the broadest and biggest of perhaps any hip hop artist and women as whole purchase more music then men so its possible.
