The only question at the round table would be: "Carter 3 did a mil in a week with years of hype.... Carter 4 did a mil in a week with a year or 2 of hype.... Would it be smart to fix what aint broken and give it a shot?":ld:



Beyonce has 13 million twitter Followers.... Wayne has 14.5 million.... Beyonce's highest selling week in history before this digital album was 500k.... Wayne sold DOUBLE THAT IN A WEEK TWICE...:merchant:




Whhy the fukk these idiots want to hate on wayne and act like he couldn't set shyt on fire like Beyonce is beyond me... And I'm not even a fan...:manny:




I'll say again: Wayne drop carter 5 like Beyonce, on the Thursday night before Memorial day weekend (nikkas need something to listen to and talk about at barbeques and on long road trips etc), nikka would shut the internet down....:whoo:




shyt would have to be CRACCCKKKK though..... Can't be no wack songs on that bytch... Gotta be straight PIFF....

He could if he does it right like you say.........

Hell any artist with creative freedom (no label to keep them in check) could do numbers if the album is thorough from front to back.....Wayne already proven he could move units, its a win win anyways. He wouldnt have to come out of pocket for promo, etc.....just the making of the album itself

Nah. Wayne is some cut nowadays, it's gonna be half garbage, half struggle and word gon spread like fire. Wayne been dropping straight 6-7/10 work since 09.

Beyonce was able to do this because her album is actually pretty good, nice change of pace and maturity to it.

No, this tactic would never work again (as in creating a frenzy with the sales to match). If he did it first at his peak he probably would have done even better than Beyonce. But now, nah. He should just do traditional promo and minimize leaks. If the music is good he will do respectable numbers. I don't forsee another rap album selling a million first week ever again though.
