A Milli



That guy, Wayne. There is no denying that this guy has a fan base like the 1970s Michale Jackson. In the release of last Tuesday's Carter III, Lil' Wayne has sold a million+ albums making this record platinum.

Not knocking Wayne's album but my personal belief as to why this CD did so well is because of anticipation and anything Wayne touches, people want it. I think that CII was way better than CIII and Wayne could have done a little more with the tracks. I understand that majority of The Carter III was leaked out last summer but a lot of those mixtapes went harder than some tracks on the album. No one has went platinum in a week since the release of 2005's Massacre but 50 Cent and that CD wasn't as hyped up as it appeared to be. But Curtis was hot and since he is 50, he sold well as long as he had the suburban kids feeling hood. Goes to show if you're "That Guy" you'll sell regardless of the album.
