Time For Weezy To Step Aside
Posted by Bossip Staff
Nas just knocked Lil Wayne from the number one spot:
Titled or not, Nas’ 9th LP, Untitled lands atop the Billboard charts this week. The set sold 187, 078 copies according to Nielsen’s Soundscan, moving enough units to push Lil Wayne off the No. 1 spot.
So much for the “Best Rapper Alive.” Nas is on top now.

Go Nas!
yay!
WHAT… FIRST.. WOW!!
i loooove me some nas too, love his single, HERO…
yeah…go NAS!
*OH MAN, nevermind, i am THRID… *bOO* !!
Nas need to sit his posing ***** down!!! I’m so sick of these wack ***** rappers. The album is TRASH. Green Latern is HIGHLY overrated.. his beats all sound the same!
This is definately a good look, not only for Nas, but for hip hop in general. The content of Nas’s lyrics and Lil Waynes are so vastly different. It’s good to see both of them have successful albums.
Its out already?
Damn I still LOVE my F-Weezy.
SO what!!!!!!!!!!!
Lil Wayne been on the charts for like 4 weeks and its not until now someone knocked him off PLEASE BOSSIP
Right, because NAS sold 180k albums, he’s now better than Lil Wayne.
Great logic bossip. Never mind that Wayne sold 1million the first week, or that I don’t even care which is better.
But yeah, sell 180k and you get to be the G.O.A.T.
Guess Souljah boy has a claim.
NOW THIS IS REAL TALENT!!!
GO NAS LOVE YA BABY.
BEST RAPPER ALIVE, PERIOD.
WELL WELL WELL, AND REAL TALENT ARRIVES. BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I SMELL IT….HMMMMMM…SMELLS GOOD TO ME!!
CD BETTER THAN HIS RELEASE PARTY
Really, ain’t no need to even argue about this.. Please lil wayne (Little Wayne) better than Nas you must be a dumb fool to even try to rate him that close to the King of NY.. Ya’ll need to be students of the game.. Weak ***** Little Wayne
He should’ve sold double of that amount SMH!
looking for a HERO! cause youz a *****a too!
Bung Bang Bang Bullet Connek!
Lil Wayne will outsell NaS and most emcees but NaS is a HIP-HOP ICON
that’s a good look for GODSON
We have some haters in the house when we see them point them out (Bossip)!!!!!! Love the fact that nas and lil wayne have the best selling albums. Instead of saying hateful things about 2 black men with totaly different styles. Best rapper alive who that?
Nas sold $187,078 while Weezy sold a million in a week though I’m not quite sure how Nas knocked out anybody. The Carter III has been out over a month.
Best rapper alive…hmmmm that was short lived huh…?
why is bossip hating on the goblin??
23rd *****es
@TIFFANY
NO OFFENSE, BUT NOW-A-DAYS, PEOPLE BUY GARBAGE ALL THE TIME. LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE BOUGHT THE SOLDIER BOY RINGTONE. NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT LIL WAYNE IS GARBAGE, BUT I AM SAYING, THAT LYRICALLY, EVEN IF 10 MILLION BOUGHT HIS AND ONLY 1 PERSON BOUGHT NAS’ ALBUM, HE CANT SEE NAS. I MEAN WAYNE IS OKAY AT BEST. BUT NAS IS A TALENTED DUDE, AND HAS PROVED THIS FOR WELL OVER A DECADE NOW.
you chickenheads need to realize. ALBUM SALES DON’T MEAN *****. lil’ fugly’s label probably bought half those “sales”, anyway. but regardless of that, put Nas and lil’ gremlin on a stage with a mic and no beats. Nas would whip the ***** out of that little boy, period.
besides, if yoda was really ALL THAT, Nas wouldn’t have been able to knock him out of #1 this week. and that’s the bottom line.
Nas is a grown man, that’s what he is. I bet he’s the greatest at alot of diffunt things. Takenbutclearlywellawareofmysurroundings 101.
lol
No offense Bossip, but tell NAS to holla back on Monday when he can sell “A Millie” the first week.
It’s no competition. Wayne has not been around long enough to compare to NAS, don’t get me wrong wayne is hot, hot, hot, I love the flow and *****ody does it like weezy, but when it comes to flows, I gotta give it to my boy E-40!!! twista is a possible second, then busta, Mystikal (memba him?)……But, as for lyrical content, there are only about 5 rappers (with albums out) who are even on the level. Nas, Kayne, Lupe, JZ, well maybe four. so props to both Nas and Weezy makin’ history, and he’s still young, Nas for making a difference, both for makin hot shyte
Somebody said it up top but it’s a good point
Nas and Wayne are both talented and both deserve some shine but….
When you call yourself the best rapper alive you asking for people to come at your head
NaS is an emcee, a poet, and the street disciple not a rapper
@ Tiffany,
these other people in here are nicer than me so I’ll just get right to the point.
Lil Waynes music is for people who dont know music, for people who would never understand what Nas, Chuck D, Rakim, KRs One or even X Clan is saying, eventhough each of these people rap clear as day.
Lil Wayne is a deep south n*gga/n*ggettes wet dream of an MC, which he is clearly not. Lil Wayne is selling bullsh*t to the mindless, Doo Doo sandwiches to the runaway slaves, Hope to the Hopeless, Weave glue to the bald, you get what i mean?
You people down there speak your own language, you have your own way of doing things, education is secondary, hittin’ the block is a priority. So seeing Lil wayne become successful with mediocre skills is like watching the first person in your family graduate from High School, the whole community is proud…………he’s still stupid, but he’s smarter than you!
Love 6am
@DA PRO
YOU TELL EM HANDSOME!!(LOL)
@6AM
OHHHH NO(LOL)
Yep i discovered X Clan too! That n*gga can rap and he’s clear as day!
@6AM
I’VE ASKED YOU SEVERAL TIMES TO BEHAVE YOURSELF MR!!
BONG!!!!…yes im so proud of NAS…i love the album and hell yea weezy need to step aside..he definetley aint better than NASIR…
What?
I love Nas. I didn’t know that the album was out yet.
Funky lessons!
Download Xclan ya’ll
freedom or death, van glorious!
um is 187,078 missing a number? Nas barely went GOLD..even Danity Kane sold more than that their 1st week..those are some weak ***** numbers
Bout time the east coast stepped it`s game up ! Not knockin the south but cmon that aint the only spot rapping right ? Nas , single ” Hero ” is a banger !

And as if you didnt notice, not one bullsh*t deep south rapper on the bill!
@ Bree
you are right … but best believe in this age of down loads and bootlegs.. records companies are happy with these kinds of numbers.
@ bree,
youre not being fair, in the south they take EBT cards in the walmart record dept. so nas could never outsell Lil wayne down there. Besides tree monkeys are worshipped like gods in the deep south so must people thought by buying his CD they were paying Tithe’s to the church of Cash Money.
hi all!
My Mind is Wacky(lol so is mine) and 6am
i still expected NaS to push more than 187,078..music is really sad right now..i can’t believe he barely went GOLD..his numbers are going to just keep slipping as the weeks go by and it didnt even help that his numbers are so low..
So hip hop isn’t dead after all, thats 2 “million selling albums” in a just a few weeks!
ummm, weezy moved almost a million his first week. nas moved a pathetic 187,000 … *****, nas best rapper alive? doubt it! weezy still movin’ almost that many and weezy sux. and 187,000 ain’t gold, 500,000 is gold – he’ll be lucky to get that
@ bree,
i’d buy a ticket to see nas in concert.
You couldnt give me a ticket to go see Lil Waynes coon show, as a matter of fact i would show up to his show……..in my cross colour overalls, I’d jherri-curl my hair, go to payless and get some black fake alligator shoes and a pair of white socks, some 10 carat fake diamonds for each ear and a fake diamond chain to match, reynolds wrap my teeth, no shirt under those overalls, cheap deodorant so my underarm hair will nap up just right, put my lifesavings in my pocket, find the fattest ugliest bald date i can find, walk up to the ticket taker then burn the sh*t right in front of her!
i ***** wid Nas..but 187,000 is good in this day and age and wayne is still topping 100,000 after a month on the shelves..lets not get carried away with making it a numbers game..say he is better just because he is..makes sense?
That’s a shame we’d rather hear and buy bull*****, than real talk…
SMDH
@ mya,
lets see weezy tour past texas, miss, ala, ga, flor or Missouri.
nas is a legend, Lil wayne is a simian
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WAYNE SOLD. LETS TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE STATE THAT HIP HOP/RAP IS IN TODAY, AND THE GENERATION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTUALLY PURCHASING WAYNES ALBUM. WE ARE NO LONGER SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE IF YOUR FLOW IS TIGHT. WAYNE IS THE IT THING FOR THIS GENERATION. BUT REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH HE SOLD, I WOULD BET ANYONE ON A CHALLENGE OF WAYNE VS NAS, THAT NAS WOULD DUST WAYNE OFF LIKE PLEDGE LEAVING NOTHING TO WASTE. AND NO ONE CAN ARGUE THAT.
@ Its6amHoGetOut
wayne tours all over my dude..im not a stan but u making it seem like all 2,000,000 people that bought his album lived on the same one street uptown new orleans or something
good for him
I am not arguing that Weezy is a better rapper than Nas it’s just the post is insinuating that Nas has now shown that he is based upon the numbers. My point is that based upon the numbers Nas has not made that impact. Nas as a lyricist is a different story, it’s just the numbers he pulled does not support the vibe of the post. I agree with BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN as long as Soulja Boy can have the numbers he does it does not say anything about talent. I love Nas and echo previous posts of how there both doing there thing, much love to them both.
For all you young dumb stupid hood rats, thugs, thugettess, listen to this.
One verse on nas 1st albumb “Illmatic” is better than anything lil wayne has put out in his entire career. When you dumb*****es are done with “Illmatic” then we can talk about what hip hop is really about.
Bossip that was such a stupid comment- lil Wayne did 827,000 his first week Nas did 187,000 his first week. lil Wayne is now at $1,300,000 for just four weeks Nas will be lucky to do $400,000 for the year. By the way I hate both of them.
what happened to my post?
Congratulations Nasir Jones!!!
@IM JUST ME
HEY YOU MOMMA! WHAT YOU DOING GIRL?
DAVID BANNER DEBUTED AT #8
GO DB
Hey SxyQ!!! How are you Momma. I am about to get my work out on???
Nas is one of the greatest album sales does not make me like a cd more then and other Not a dis to lil wayne but im also positive in a few years i could easily put on nas cd and not be tired of it where waynes is already wearing on my eardrum lol
@IM JUST ME
GIRL, IM WAITING TO GET UP OUT OF THIS HAITIS HOLE!! LOL
you chickenheads need to realize. ALBUM SALES DON’T MEAN *****. lil’ fugly’s label probably bought half those “sales”, anyway. but regardless of that, put Nas and lil’ gremlin on a stage with a mic and no beats. Nas would whip the ***** out of that little boy, period.
besides, if yoda was really ALL THAT, Nas wouldn’t have been able to knock him out of #1 this week. and that’s the bottom line.
He didnt knock lil wayne from ***** with that amount of copies sold. do you think he is goin to be able to do that for 4 weeks like wayne did NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO! I got love for Nas but lyrically i would never compare him to lil wayne their styles are tottally different. Stick to comparing wayne to JAy. Cause Nas is in cl***** of his own. a lot of different people is hating on waynes rap cause its hoe this and hoe dat but lets face it hes not talking about women and 96% of the females he refer to like that are Basically hoes and or *****es or somebodys baby mama. so why is America mad at that, when you do the same he’s just not scared to say it on tape. To me Weezy is the best rapper alive and Nas is a legend!
Nas ain’t sellin like he should cause first, I don’t think he was promoted after the name change. Second, he’s doing music for grown folks and grown folks are just not buying music right now. Wayne got lucky cause a bunch of little teenagers listened to all the hype and went and purchased some garbage with their little minimum wage money.
@ SxyQ
I hear that. Your hours are sick. I am not feeling that. I just fed baby and am about to get this treadmill on and get ready for SYTYCD
Why do people even think hip-hop is dead!! The ***** aint dead just changed. You need to get right or get left behind. There is not one genre of music that is the same from when it first appeared on the scene. Look bak at country, rock and even Gospel music has changed.. IM pretty sure that your parents probably thought the music in your day was garbage to them, but they didnt say taht the ***** was dead. New Day New Era get with it.
sorry for the typos on both posts
EEEWWWW to hip hop be glad when it dies OUT!!!!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
No need to argue who’se best.
There’s room for the both of them.
Some like NAS, some like WEEZY.
The beauty of hip-hop has always been versatilty.
So everybody get’s to nod dat head!
GOOD FOR THE BOTH OF THEM!
get money……….
Forget this nas shtye … WHERE IS THAT MANIAC >>> SMDH !
That chic is the certified villan of bossip … like the joker in dark night !
For Nas to take #1 without being on everyone’s remix,not even having ANY features out period..*****ody’s heard from Nas music wise since his last album..I’d say it was a good look
wow, bossip…really, first of all, nas’s cd sales are considered a dissappointment because he sold half as much as he did when he released “hip hop is dead”, so yall can stop tryin to twist dat *****. wayne been out like 5 weeks, so of course nas would beat him, but i gurantee nas will fall nxt week…i kinda like nas, but wen blog sites try to twist ***** like dat, its sum bull*****. oh and best rapper alive is still weezy, ask jay z
Lil Wayne gone crazy. The numbers traid. I landed at about 5pm and meandered through the numbers.
GotDamn Nas look good!!!!!!!! What’s up Baybee???
Was there ever any doubt?
Congradulations to him and I respect him concerning the Fox News petition issue.
By the way….
Any numbers on Khia’s “Nasti Muzik”???
i thought longevity determined greatness?
if thats the case, this argument ends with Left Eye (TLC) and Outkast. if its all about the sales.
i thought longevity determined greatness?
if thats the case, this argument ends with Left Eye (TLC) and Outkast. if its all about the sales.
And if its saving the industry, Eminem and solo…Mc Hammer is the greatest seller.
With these gas prices the way they are, I can’t believe people still are buying cd’s with all this free music on the internet.
@MOCK ROCK STAR
With these gas prices the way they are, I can’t believe people still are buying cd’s with all this free music on the internet.
LMFAO
@under
You hit the nail on tha head.
Even still, numbers do not mean GREATNESS IMO.
LOL…hey Bossip, you cant compare one artists first week sales with another artists 4th week sales.
That being said sales mean little.
Hello Lil Wayne sold over a million the first week. Please explain!!!! I think Nas is great, uhh but Lil Wayne is still number one!!!! Hello!!!Now I won’t say he’s the best rapper alive but he is doing his thing. Andre 3000 the best to me alive along with Jay and RAKIM he is not dead and his lyrics were fire. One of his best lines Rakim that is: I TAKE 7 MC’S PUT EM IN A LINE, ADD 7 MORE BROTHERS WHO THINK THEY CAN RHYME WELL IT’LL TAKE 7 MORE BEFORE I GO FOR MINE NOW THAT’S 21 MC’S ATE UP AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT I SAY BRING RAKIM BACK. DID YOU HEAR HIM ON THE TRACK WITH JAY AND DR. DRE. HE HAD THE BEST VERSE.
***** Lil’ Wayne…..I’ll take NAS any day.
Lil Wayne is sooooo overrated….where are all the REAL rappers that make hip hop what it is….***** THESE UNSEASONED ***** NEW BOOTY RAPPERS….I WISH RUN DMC WAS STILL IN THE GAME….AND TUPAC TOO…
OK why do I sense Little Wayne haterism, i mean let the dude have his swag bossip. Kanye says the same thing.
We all know that Andre, Nas, Commen, PAC, and BIggie, are the best and I’ll say Jay for the sake of history.
I agree with you RED!!!
@flaedagurl
“to me Weezy is the best rapper alive and NAS is a legend.” LOL
love it.
Bossip blockin my mu*****in comments for some got damn reason shawty. What up my niggs
There is a difference between best rapper alive and best selling rapper alive. Rakim is still the best and anyone who doesn’t list him in at least their top 5 of all time needs to learn more about hip hip.
Typo – hip hop
I agree Red that is one of the best lyrics. Paid in full can still hold its own against any song. Its my favorite.
LOL@ You Lil Wayne Stans!!
Nas has seven platinum albums and Illmatic, an album he dropped 10 years ago pushed 3,000 records in a week in 2001!! How can a 10 year old album still push units?? Illmatic was put on Rolling Stones top 400 albums ever made!! ALL GENRES OF MUSIC, not just hip hop. Your talking about Michael Jackson, the Beetles and Elvis on that list!!
Silly Rabbit!! Weezy’s for kids!!
I been listening to Lil Wayne since he was a lil a$$ kid under Juvenile’s wing. Hes a good rapper, but please stop g*****in him up. Respect the game!!
damn bossip i kno yall dont like wayne but are u guys that stupid wayne sold 1 mill his 1st week nas sells 100,000 his first week lol lol bossip some idiots damn i kno i aint the smartest man in the world come one now…NO RAPPER OUT RIGHT NOW WILL EVER SELL LIKE WAYNE I PUT MY LIFE ON DAT
@Bus a Bus
CO-SIGN…silly rabbit weezy’s for kids!!! Love it!!!!!
Is Naz part owner of Bossip? Him and his ridiculous, weak selling, nonsense are all over this blog and I don’t know why.
weezy out sold him by ten to one and nas is the king of rap…yeah right. nas is a punk ***** who allowed al perm hair sharpton to scare him into changing his album title…sorry *****!
a mili albums sold during a time when aint *****ody buying musi. 100,300,000 people is sayinotherwise and kids aint the ones who are buyin albums these days it is white america so sorry silly BUS a BUs weezy is the *****!
Damn I love NAS!!! He is just tooo fine! Nas I will buy anything you sell boo!
um, how long ago did c3 drop?
Really? How is that? Maybe off the #1 spot but Lil’ Wayne sold over 1million in the first week Nas sold 187k. I like Nas so good for him being #1… but I’m just saying judging from the headline I thought Nas sold a lot more.
Nas is coming up!!!
@ 6am
This is my first comment I’ve ever left and please believe it’s anonymous cause that’s what I choose. But I had to come on and do this to say this about your first comment…
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
that ***** was just funny!
and by the way I loves me some N*****ir
Damn Weezy…..That was short lived……..
FIRST!
Nas is on Colbert
Look how long Lil’ Wayne bin on top!!!! nas record sales cant even compare!!!!
wayne’s been on top for 6 weeks and he still selling 100k…. weezy sold 180k in minutes lol
***** NAS AND YEAH IM GON ADMIT IT YEAH IM HATING ***** NAS AND ***** THOSE WHO FEEL DIFFERENT WEEZY BEST RAPPER ALIVE
Bossip needs to get it together. Why are you hating on Weezy. He sold 1.5 million in 1 week how can you put 187k in the same category, Weezy sold more than that in his sleep. I am not hating on Nas but the numbers say it all!!
YA’LL CRAAAAAZY AS HELL!! WAYNE IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!
Weezy could sell 10 mil in a week and he still wouldn’t be better than Nas…
You got one ***** rapping about being a martian and licking wrappers…
The other one protesting against Faux News and speaking on the ills of America..
How dare you ***** tards compare Wayne to Nasir.
Weezy will be back next week! Weezy is not a hypocrit, Nas is wack and so is his wife. Just as Nas is calling for others to step aside; it is time for him to step aside, he is no longer relevent.
^^^
If Nas isn’t relevant, why are you posting comments about him at 3 am in the morning??
Real hypocrite huh?
Jesse Car Jacker, Nas is a great rapper but very very smarmy… He’s been given the platform and the opportunity to speak his mind over and over again and yet he’s never ever said anything of substance. He’s pseudointellectual…
Judgin’ by the posts…… many people don’t know how the billboard practice works…… Nas DID in actuality outsell Wayne on his 1st week sales…….
Wayne may have sold his measley million within a week…….. But the charts are based on WEEKLY sales…… that million sold…… counted for just that Week that it came out……. If he held the charts for 4 weeks straight……. that means no other new Debut hasn’t topped his current sales……
As weeks go by…… album sales can either go up…. or they can go down…… and Wayne’s album went from a million copies in a week…… to 100,000 in a week……. and wit’ Nas’ debut….. which is projected to do 200,000 copies….. whatever numbers Wayne had for that week……. Nas did better……. they don’t combine total sales from previous weeks……..
Wayne’s album sales for the week was 105,490
Nas’ sales for the week was 186,640
Nas’ figure was higher so Wayne got bopped to #2…..
His numbers declined to the average 100,000 numbers that every artist normally does now……. If they went by totals….. then Wayne would have still had the #1 album……. until the next artist goes debuts wit’ a higher figure…… Nas’ numbers debut topped his current weekly numbers……..
This is the 1st #1 album for Wayne…… Hell this is the 5th #1 for Nas…….
Don’t think Nas’ formula of music doesn’t sell him records…. because it does…… Nas’ has been in the industry for over a decade…… and has plenty of Platinum and Multi-Platinum albums under his belt…..
Nas in his entire career has sold over 9 Million copies……
Accordin’ to the RIAA…..
It Was Written 2X’s Platinum
I Am 2X’s Platinum
Illmatic Platinum
Nastradamus Platinum
God’s Son Platinum
Street’s Disciple Platinum
So Nas is pretty successful……
But all that aside…… a rappers talent isn’t based and shouldn’t based on how many albums they’ve sold……. this is EXACTLY what Joe Budden’s was talkin’ about on his NEW record when he said 50 havin’ fans lookin’ at numbers is apart of what killed Hip-Hop……. NUMBERS don’t matter……. and sorry Jay-Z but they DO lie……. they’ve lied in the past and they still do now…….Speakin’ of, there is an investigation goin’ on now on how Wayne REALLY sold those million album….. was it the public?????…. or was it the record company……. because the album the week before it was released…… so people wouldn’t need to buy the album……
Now you havin’ debates on whose better….. and people tend to base it all on album sales……. which is PURE GARBAGE……
Nas is CLEARLY a better emcee……. Wayne isn’t even an emcee….. he’s a rapper…… M1 of Dead Prez said…….
“A Rapper is to an Emcee as a Street Boxer is to a trained Martial Artist….. they are both fighters…… but it is the depth of degree in their skill is what sets them apart…..”
Nas has more depth….. lyricism, metaphors, similies, and puts better imagery than Wayne does….. Nas paints a picture wit’ his words…… Wayne just makes OBVIOUS comparisions and likes to p***** them off as metaphors…….
I forgot to add Stillmatic went Platinum as well……
It’s 2008 and Nasir Jones is still relevant, do your thing bwoi. Maybe Wayne is the hottest mc out there right now, but he can’t f*ck with Nas though, Jay knows…
I’ve always liked Nas. You go….
http://www.jhazzaisworld.wordpress.com
im surprised he even made it that far
Lil Wayne can out sell Nas, in his sleep.
Nas didn’t move a million units in the first week.
Case closed.
Ok Weezy sold a milli his first week and Nas did 187,078 thats not even close so please with the dumb shyt bossip yall are really acting like M.ediatakeout talking like that!
@ MEME
School em… !
Why do y’all have to hate on one to give the other props??????SMH. These are two men from two different era’s. There is enough room for both to shine. Why is Bossip starting ***** cause when 50 sold 100K if was a FLOP!
I Swear some of y’all went to school for HATING!!! Get a life!
*****cat dolls get number ones
Britney Spears gets number ones
That stupid animated frog who sung that axel song got to number one.
If you’re gonna have a peferance don’t judge on sales. Cause every fan knows even if their fav artist only sold 10 albums in a month you would still protest how good they are. I like lil wayne but mostly cause I think he is a comedian by accident, as far as who is the best I think it’s nas.
I like Nas and what he is to hip-hop but while many of you are worshipping him like he’s God, have you even heard his new album? It’s straight gar-bage. Sorry, but I’m not feeling this one at all. I wanted to love it because I like Nas, but I can’t lie. It’s a definite disappointment
Who cares, but Nas looks hella fine in this pic.
I don’t listen to either one of them, but I do know a thing or two about record sales from and insiders view.
Marketing, Marketing, Marketing then talent.
Nas bought 100,000 of his own records, thats crazy. People will do anything to be on top.
Um, I know im a day late and a dollar short, and dont get me wrong, I digs me some Nas, but he still didnt sell over a million in one week… Weezy got it on lock right now.. Everybody knockin him sound like Weezy Haters to me!! YA DIGGGG???? YOUNG MULA BABAYYYY!!!!!
Nas being #1 with under 200,000 copies is definately not pushing Wayne aside who sold 1 million copies in the first week. After 6 weeks Wayne has already sold over 2 million copies and no doubt next week he will be above Nas in the charts once again. Just wait and see.
Nas is the SHYT the rest of these rappers need to get out the toliet.
Im not into fake music I like real music not hot garbage that disrespect women such as jayz and wayne. Nas is just the rapper for me so no one come to me about my opinion.
wayne album is hott! Nas album is hott! I’m bumpin both. Ya’ll trip out with that bull***** acting like you can’t like two different sounding cd’s.
Me Me u tryin hard there are more people buying wayne cd’s and bumpin it, but that dosent mean nas cd isnt hot. It’s like people feel bad about liking something that isnt selling big numbers.
As it should be! Nas is the greatest!
I’m gonna buy the album for sure.
Bossip bloogers are the biggest haters I’ve ever seen in my live….Hate to see a down south ***** on top. 189,000 units LOL try 490,000 units in a day *****s.
STOP THE FU*KING BULL*****!!! 187, 078 copies does NOT COMPARE TO ONE MILLION+…dumb *****es
And I prefer Lil’ Wayne over Nas and his “Nig*er” stunt.
I dont like to use the term “hating” (which is overused) so I will say that BOSSIP IS REACHIN’
okay and how long has lil waynes cd been out??? im glad Nas is #1 but Bossip is acting like he sold more than 1.5 millie the first week…LMAO at this!
That’s not even legit. Weezy sold over 1 million albums. Nas could be the best rapper alive but you definitely cannot use his current album’s projected sales in week 1 vs. Lil Wayne’s. He sold about 10.5% OF what Lil Wayne sold. Let’s take Math level 1.
Wayne sold how many in his first week??? Yeah, Nas is nice but Weezy is THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!! Nas knocked him out the #1 spot after what, a month??? LMFAO
Finally, Lil Wayne is so dam’n commercial it makes no sense. There is no way he is the best rapper alive. He talks about absolute nonsense and glorifies drugs, WTF??? At hiphopstan.com we give everyone a shot, but we definitely acknowledge true hiphop.
hiphopstan.com check out the community. We have videos, news, rumors. It’s popping, well worth the look. Don’t forget to check out the advice section askdiva & coolpoints. See you there =)
C’mon now Bossip…
This is like comparing apples and oranges.While Nas is MY pick, are your ‘editors’ stupid enough to approve such a dumb headline.Yall are reachin in the name of HATERISM.
Sheeit, when has a TRUE Nas fan paid attention to record sales?
@TIFFANY…. You said:
NO OFFENSE, BUT NOW-A-DAYS, PEOPLE BUY GARBAGE ALL THE TIME…….
——————————————————————————-
Exactly!!!! You are dead on TIFFANY.
Numbers prove nothing. The only thing that big numbers really prove. Is that there are a lot of people in America, that lack a knowledge as to what real talent is. Just like most of the so called artists, that we find ourselves besieged on all sides by.
America is knee deep in cabbage, (the people that produce it,) and (the people that purchase it.)
We all would be so much be better off, without the both of them. ARTOFWAR.
I agree with Madame Enigma – one has nothing to do with the other. Nas has longevity and Little Wayne has not lived long enough to catch up.
I have both cd’s – Nas is listening and opening my mind, Little Wayne makes my head bob. I need both of them in my life fun and knowledge.
Don’t let people divide us on our own artists, black people been doing that for toooooooo long..aren’t you tired of tapping to other peoples drums. Use your head for more than hairstyles and think.
Nas’ cd is a good listen keeps you thinking. Little Wayne’s cd is a good dance keeps you partying. END OF STORY
Ok Weezy sold a milli his first week and Nas did 187,078 thats not even close so please with the dumb shyt bossip yall are really acting like M.ediatakeout talking like that!
——————–
It doesn’t matter if Wayne did a million in his 1st week……. that was his sales in his 1st week…… and ONLY counted as for the his 1st week…… they don’t go by totals…….. the numbers differentiate every week…….. so whatever Wayne numbers got over last week…….. was less than Nas’ incoming numbers……
And this aint no Mediatakeout mess neither…… but it’s already confirmed by Soundscan, Billboard, and all of the other music related sites and blogs…….
Whatever Wayne sold that week…… is the number he sold for that week…….
Nas may have not sold a million total within a week…… but hell next week that 180,000 can turn into 200,000 or it can decrease and week after that…… and the weeks goes on…….. the numbers go on…..
@ Its6amHoGetOut,
Are you Serious? From the impression you give, LiL Wayne lyrics was made for the people down south. Thats straight out bull*****. A ***** is gonna get on the mic and rap what he know, thats just what it is. The majority of people hate on Lil wayne because he started saying he was the best rapper alive, which he aint, but that is what he wants to claim, its whatever. If wayne never said anything, just came out with his album, his ***** would be seen as best of the year. The same thing people say hip hop needs, we hate on it, which is swagger and confidence. Jay Z cam out saying the same thing, which I dont think he is the best in his own city, but I guess if you say it enough, then people will believe you. All them comments about the south, keep them to yourself.
OMG some of you are truly ignorant. It’s ok to like lil wayne but to compare him to nas is foolish.
lil wayne sold 1 mil records because white kids who like lollipops and sex bought the album. Nas does not have those white kids on his side because he’s talking about real *****. ***** they dont even want to understand.
NAS IS A REAL LYRICIST. true to REAL hip hop. so record sales dont mean *****. music is suppose to be about talent, not numbers.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP USING THE FACT THAT “JAY-Z SAID” WEEZY IS HOT, AS THEIR TICKET TO MAKE HIM HOT? I LOVE JAY-Z, HE’S MY FAVORITE RAPPER, AND PROBABLY YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS, FAVORITE RAPPER. HOWEVER, HIS VIEWS ON WEEZY, DO NOT REFLECT THE IDEA OF WEEZY BEING FULL OF BUDDING TALENT. PLEASE REMEMBER, JAY (NOW-A-DAYS) IS MORE OF A BUSINESS MAN, THAN HE IS AN ARTIST. JAY KNOWS WHAT “SELLS” AND WHAT THE NEW GENERATION IS INTERESTED IN AS FAR AS MUSIC IS CONCERNED. BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE, JAY ALSO KNOWS THAT WEEZY CAN NOT SEE NAS WITH TELEPATHY.
Dang, i’m not a big fan on rap, but i remember Nas had this one song…i LOVED that song and now i can’t think of the name…somebody help me out. I’m lookin at the video now, he was sittin in the chair, and they showed clips of the chick in the bed with the headphones on her ear (or maybe i’m confusing it with a FABOLOUS viedo)…anyway, it was a few years back…maybe on Illmatic album…Dang, what is the name of that song. I gotta put that joint on my ipod… And that jam with Lauryn hill…If i ruled the world…CL*****IC…i still love that song to this day…Nas is cool, i like him. He’s definitely in my top 5 of best rappers. (Jay, Nas, Mos Def, Common, TI) not in that order
if Wayne is soo *****in hot why he getting sued for shyt he didn’t pay for, why is his shyt being repossessed if he pushing numbers. Wayne maybe the best rapper alive but he is certainly not the smartest at his money management. Nas is a poet and also lets not forget a ex- street hustler. Do you hear his shyt getting taking away cause he cant pay his bills. Wayne cant hold a candle to NAS. Nas is on another level that Wayne is not even in the same category.
NAS is the best. Lil Wayne spits rhymes like on Mr. Carter, ” I’m a go the opposite of soft,” what’s that!! Or “Dear Mr. Toliet, I’m the sh*t.” Compared to Nas lyrically he can’t see him. So sad that more people don’t listen to the lyrics. Then album sales would be totally different.
@ Kesha
That song is One Mic
Be Real I aggree, and REAL…BE real…Eventho I perfer nas over wayne, WAYNE got the STREET LOCKED right now. The GUTTA, not the burbs. He’s pop in the hood.
To capital peach
I have to respectfully disagree with you, I brought the album and Nas is bringing the FIRE!!!!!!!!!! like always. I like to listen to him calling his woman a queen -VRs- a w***** and, let alone the album is really hot I love it.
178,000 in a week tops 1,005,000? i am confused by the math here.
TO P.J who’s talking math??????
We are talking about NAS is a better rapper Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
@6am,
How u gon put on better choice rappers to folks then str8t wackly diss ya own ppl HARD for not liking shyt u like? you got sooo much respect for them but if they knew u, they prolly wouldnt have a ounce for you cuz they actually gotlove for they people.U the type that should get done like the dude from Belly sittin in the basement, that’s exactly whats owed to you lol 6am, HO..getOUT…
THIS IS GREAT NEWS!! NAS IS BY FAR A MUCH BETTER RAPPER THAN LIL WAYNE!! I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIL WAYNE’S SUCCESS WHEN HE MAKES NO FREAKIN’ SENSE! ITS NOT ABOUT NUMBERS, NOW THAT THE KIDS IN THE SUBURBS BY RAP ALBUMS, THE NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED, BUT DO THEY REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAL HIP- HOP OR WHAT IT STANDS FOR? HELL NO!
178,000 in a week tops 1,005,000? i am confused by the math here.
________________________________________________

I’m an Implant,(CHI) in the house!!! but it’s not all bad it’ll work for now…ez up on the South… ENJOY THE TOUR (greygoose & the looseygoosey’s) you feed it to…LOL I’ll p***** on that pt of the show…OK
@Crislex

Man wearing house around his neck and you people think he cant pay a lawsuit GET REAL BOSSIPERS!
oops typos selling and a before the house! good day
That is NOT the point who sold more in a week NAS have been Doing this ***** for Almost TWENTY *****ING YEARS WEEZY cant say that ***** by a LONG Shot…NAS have LONGEVITY DESPITE his Ups & Downs In this GAME..NAS is a TRUE Soldier…A GREAT BLACK MAN who actually stayed TRUE to Who he is as an Artist & Man & did NOT EXPLOIT or SALE his SOUL LIKE OTHER Rappers (WEEZY JAY-Z etc..) to Make A Penny NAS Do this for the LOVE of his CRAFT & His People & Fans…HE is A REAL MAN So PLEASE STOP IT HATING ***** BYTCHEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have respect for Nas (I don’t think he’s a genius). He definitely can be a conscious rapper at times, but Lil’ Wayne is the best right now. I don’t care that Nas is from New York. You wanna be enlighted and educated then READ negroes. When it comes to the most entertaining songs Lil Wayne wins hands down.
WHen its all said and done, its about record sales…
180k first week.. 1 million the first week..
Which one translate into money$$$$ End of discussion.. I’m going with who sales the most records, who got the most radio spends, and who is cameo on everybody songs (including your favorite rappers song) So who is the best rapper. The proof is in the puttin… Even Kanye (which I like) verse 50 cent (who I don’t like) didn’t pull off a million sales there first week.. Period.. And they had the biggest publicity stunt to try to make *****’s go get there album.. Lil wayne did none of that.. Dropped single. (lolli Pop) then album.. Million sold.. period.
Born in Chi, Live in the South (TEXAS) and I love the south bi$h’s.. THe best of both worlds…
@6 am.
Southern people are not the only people who feel Wayne. I know people who live all over east and west who feel wayne. Your comments about Southern people are ignorant and way off key. Obviously you haven’t been anywhere in the south sweets. You sound real ignorant and racist against your own people, specially by calling them “coons” and tree monkeys. Smh come correct and respectful next time kiddo.
Here goes dis lil Ratatouille lookin MF again!
Didn’t I catch yo ***** in a sticky trap last week! Huh.
I refuse to support any MF dat look like they will:
Break into a church or my house
Steal my car, gps, rims, stereo, umbrella from da back seat, etc
Try to rob an ole lady, ole man, homeless person or cripple
They don’t wash day *****, brush day teeth, comb day hair or change day drawers
Sell drug to school kids or anyone else for that matter
Rob a pharmacy, snow ball stand, carry out, jiffy
lube or church
Jump bail, be in jail in a week or so, be wanted my the po po or featured on America’s Most Wanted
it doesn’t matter who sold more! lyrical quality and your fanbase are seperate..for all we know the best rapper alive is some homeless dude that sleeps behind a mcdonalds parking lot!!!
i’ma come out with the whackest record ever, get an award for it…then i’m getting my award i’ma tell everyone how stupid they are for supporting such garbage…and thanks for the lamborgini!!!
