Has the mainstream finally turned on Wayne and Kanye? Will they be able to ever get back on top?

Carter V will be Wayne's last album though. And I agree about Ye.


What shifted in 08 though?

The beginning of the YMCMB era(mainstream wise)

Nobody cares about the INAHB series from Wayne, shyts are like mixtapes.

Why do people keep saying this lie? The first one was kinda like a mixtape because it was something that they put together while he was in jail and initially suppose 2 only be an ep. It was released digital only first week, a week before watch the throne did it but u still had people comparing part 2 first week sales to part one tho. Part 2 was Wayne crafting an album not just them throwing songs together that shyt had multiple videos and promo, it wasn't treated the same way as the first one a lot was put into that bullshyt of an album.

Wayne bout to go plat off the strength of his next album title. The quality will determine if he keeps going plat after that.

Ye will be fine after a couple of songs with Jay and a few normal songs.

Wayne announced his retirement after c5 so if it sales high because of name then it's more because its suppose 2 be his last shyt. His last cd didn't even sale as much as rebirth and that shyt leaked like 3 months before it released.

How many records did Ye sell? Nobody is talking about that album and I hope Wayne goes away!!

More than 500. I believe if he would been releasing singles he woulda sold more. He tried to come up with a new marketing scheme but u know what they say about when it's not broke don't fix it

He say he's gonna be gone for good but he also said c5 ain't gonna be his next project. He got other albums he's gonna drop first so it might not drop til a couple of years.

It won't go plat but not because of the music tho. They not really pushing it at all no more it got the initial no promo promo but they still running with that and it's not working. No songs being pushed to radio, no real visuals. They basically let the album come and go
