This a song with Wayne, so you know it's gon' melt
But you ain't finna murder me like everybody else I'ma rap like I got some type respect for myself
I don't do it for my health, man, I do it for the belt Man,

In 2008 I was 33 years old nephew

He knew Birdman was going to make sure that was gonna happen, that mili first week was a narrative months before it happened

classic

😂😂😂 u was one of them “bird man bought 500k” niggas dumb as hell

that brief period between the release of 808s and the VMA incident where kanye was doing some 808s but more rap heavy stuff was really interesting

Imagine

The fact that you remember that as a thing says everything though lol

I dont feel like he did for C3 but C4 first week sales yeah i’ve felt like for years was some bullshit lmao

nah

I still think about ye’s verse all the time packed Wayne up, nigga blew a gasket trying to out do it

Days Before GOOD Ass Job

Whoever gave dude that hennesy before that award show cost us his likely best album. Woulda been Best of college trilogy, 808s autotune experimenting, late 2000’s feature run peak rapping + proto MBDTF

Not really. I remember it too, even 50 cent said it about c4, but doesnt mean much.

People will always doubt the sales of an album they dont like. They cant fathom that other people do. The internet music forums are also a small population relatively.

This still exists today, just evolved to "fake streams" and "bot farms".

At the end, Billboard validates sales and streams thoroughly. Nothing fraudulent would show in first weeks then or now.

that part gave me the chills

what exactly do you mean? can you name some more examples of features?
