Lil Wayne sells a Million Copies of Carter IV in first week but who bought them ?

Lil Wayne currently has the #1 album in the country, as his latest release Tha Carter IV, sold almost 1,000,000 copies during its first week in stores. The real question is who bought these albums in this recession. Lil Waynes fans are the download for free kids that do not pay for anything. I find it real hard to believe that even half that amount of albums were sold. I think it is a big scam put on by the record labels to manipulate the charts in order to get what I call delayed sells and even more radio spins.

We can all agree that the carter IV is a pretty crappy album. I listened to it and I wouldn’t of ever bought it, not even back in the days when I used to buy albums. I do not know one person who has bought the album or even talked about buying the album. Second most of Lil Waynes fan base has moved on and grew up, and I only see a few garbage DJs still put his face on mixtapes. So I ask again who is buying his so called 1 million albums. Don’t believe the hype the label bought most of the albums and they will be sent right back to the stores in the second shipment of cds.

Lil Wayne sent the following message on Twitter to all his fans.

“Thanx to all who bought my album and helped me feed my family! I love u all! I honestly do. God knows this is true…Wow!!!!!!!!!! I have the best fans in the universe! I thank u all. Hard work and dedication pays well…”

Lil Wayne pulls in 42 Million on his Concert Tour

Big Larry — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:06:37 +0000

There’s no need for Lil Wayne to validate himself anymore as to why many believe that he is top in the hip hop game or why he’s top in the rap industry, the rapper has gained the spot of the highest grossing touring rapper by pulling in over $42 million for his most recent tour.

The rapper swept artists Jay-Z and Kanye West under the rug after doing seventy-eight shows from December 2008 through September 2009 which promoted his chart topping 2008 album “Tha Carter III” which was certified 3x Platinum in the U.S. with sales of over 3 million copies and which is Lil Wayne’s highest selling album to date , but all of the money for the Carter III goes to the Rolling Stones for Wayne using one of there samples on the album without permission .

As for Jay-Z, the rapper wasn’t too far behind by coming into second place with $34.6 million from a twenty-eight concert tour with the Queen of Hip Hop Mary J. Blige in 2008.

Kanye West came in at third place with his “Glow In the Dark” tour which pulled in $30.8 million for forty-nine concerts.
We at Hiphopspy had free tickets to the Lil Wayne show when it came to town but we gave them away to a couple of Lil Wayne Groupies who said when they saw Lil Waynes concert Keyshia Cole stole the show and out-shined Lil Wayne at his own Concert.

Lil Wayne sued over Sleepiness

Fat Tony — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:05:41 +0000

It certainly would have been cheaper to buy an alarm clock
. Lil Wayne is being sued for nearly half-a-million bucks for sleeping when he should have been performing.

Red City Entertainment claims it fronted $432,000 for a Wayne concert appearance in the Bahamas. On September 27, 2008, there were plenty of lights and cameras… but no action, because Wayne was passed out in his hotel room. When he didn’t show for the performance, cops went to his hotel and found him unconscious.

In the lawsuit filed today, Red City claims it gave Wayne a $210,000 advance. The balance is for his hotel expenses and various costs involved in throwing the failed concert.

Calls to Lil Wayne’s rep were not returned.
