So it look as though Birdman’s predictions were right and Jr. was able to break the milli mark in one week with Tha Carter IV. If the numbers prove solid when they’re officially verified tomorrow, TC4 will be Weezy’s third No. 1 album and he’ll be only the second rapper to go platinum on two different album debut weeks, the other being Eminem.
I hope Jeezy doesn’t expect a co-sign from Donald Trump hence Mac Miller. I’ll tell you one thing, Birdman is on his way. Thoughts?
As the one week sales estimates for Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV keep rising, Birdman took to Twitter to forecast even greater figures tha Billboards now 850K projections for the LP. In his usual crytic Twitter lingo Baby is calling it now, JR. Gon Sell. 1 mil. 7 day. *Birdman handrub*
“The goal is to sell a million-plus copies. I can deal with it for short period of time,” he says. It’s when you have a leak out for a long time that it’s crazy.”
I dunno about this prediction. If it does happen, it will take a while before it hits that platinum mark. Then again, who am I?
In an interview with XXL magazine Birdman confirmed that there are in fact plans for another elite collab album besides Watch The Throne this year. Here’s what he had to say about a forthcoming Lil Wayne and Drake LP:
“Wayne and I recently talked about [the Weezy/Drake collabo album]. That’s definitely going to get done. It’s older versus younger. I listened to a few songs [off Watch The Throne] and it feels like an older feel to me. I think with Drake and Wayne, they young. They young cats. You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game. Then you got Wayne and Drake and them, who are still youthful to the game. So, it’s two different types of music all the way across the board. But what they’re doing is great. I think it’s great for the game, great for the business, great for retail as a whole. I just think when Wayne and Drake get together is going to be something real special also because we more youthful.”
*Birdman hand rub* This sounds like a very promising album.
