187K? Not bad at all in today's industry.

But looking ahead at week 2 sales for Untitled, I hope he's okay with only a 1 week stay at #1.
Who here wants to bet that Miley Cyrus' album wont sell more this week than the rest of the top 10 combined?wouldn't be surprised at all if she did.

Hate on that since you guys want to attack Nas for standing up against fox news (read the latest comments from the Nas to protest fox news thread).

Peace and more hair grease,

Might have sold more if they did more advertising.  I tell u this I went to cop the Ni@@er album from a bestbuy in Grove City, OH.  Peep game I had to go search for the shit it was even on the fuckin new release shelf.  I think Def Jam and Columbia needs to get there shit straight.  I think its fucked up that a NAS album wouldnt be located front of line not only that if these dumb ass with power would actually listen to the shit he saying then maybe they understand where he is coming from and put more effort into making sure it sells more 187,000.  Wayne sold 1.5 that means niggas is payin attention and picking up albums.  Nas' shit should have sold that easily if the dickheads in control would have pushed it more.  Not only that niggas need to get a lil more educated and this is one of them albums they could use to learn up on some shit.  BIG UP to NAS though keep doin ur thang.  HOTTEST ALBUM OUT THIS YEAR KILLIN THAT CARTER 3 EASILY.  Im comparing to Wayne cause thats who niggas feel is the best out even though he aint fuckin wit Eminem, Jay, Nas, Joey or Lupe.

Don't worry about what others are buying.  As long as there are outlets to purchase what you think is deserving of your money, go and purchase it.  I purchased my YOU KNOW WHAT THE REAL NAME OF THIS ALBUM IS and I could care less if 186,999 other people bought it too.  What matters most is Crazy Olie's list to me and that should be everyone elses thought pattern as well.

@Jay322: I don't know man, I agree with most everything you said, albeit one thing. I think Wayne did his numbers more so off of the promotion he got from all those mixtapes and features. You can't knock Lil Wayne's hustle. Though, NAS would've have most definitely sold more if he had received better promotion. Def Jam puts more into they're newer acts than they do established...which makes sense to a certain degree, but still, I've both seen and heard more from Ace Hood than Nas. They did him so, so greazy. When you think about it, if it wasn't for all the controversy surrounding the title, most wouldn't have even known about the album at all. Take away that controversy, and then try to figure how much promotion got. Virtually none. I don't know what's going on at Def Jam, but this is insane.

@ Jay322,

That is so damn true....here in Toronto, Canada the BestBuy and Futureshop stores never ever put the new hip hop / rap albums in the new release section....If they don't want to put them albums in the proper section then i think these artists should talk to these retail chains about this issue....

This is not my first time I had to also search one of them stores for a new hip hop / rap album at Bestbuy or futureshop....

I started shopping at HMV instead since they have the albums easier to find in the store....

***************************
I hope that other rap artist including Nas reads these posts about these retail chains not properly posting the NEW ALBUMS in the stores for customers who are fans...

Waddup Killuminati, damn homie u went hard on Baby F. Weezy! LOL I couldn't have said that better myself.

It's too bad that 105,000 don't seem like much... Them was big numbers a couple years ago. I'ma have to cop that Nas album, I like every song I've heard thus far and I keep hearin it's fire.

He's still stupid for even makin such a feeble attempt for attention. Y'all say what y'all want but he messed himself up as far as promotion. He shoulda did a S.W.O.T. analysis before tryin to name his sh*t NIGGER.

@DEKALB COUNTY, that's not hating, that's called keepin' it real, you're obviously one of those niggaz that congradulates fake niggaz for gettin' paid.

First off I'm not a T-Wayne fan, never been.  Second off he's fuckin' up hip hop, he wanna be a pop singer or a rapper?  First he's a full fledge Blood then he's just affiliated.  Third, I'm not gonna congradulate a fake nigga, that's somethin' I don't condone, plus regardless of if he real or not, he released a wack ass project.  I don't respect niggaz that kiss other men on the lips, do lines drink cough syrup and go in the booth and just say random shit, fake shit at that, the nigga can't even look at himself in the mirror.  How can you accept that?  Let me guess...because you don't "personally know the nigga"....rrriiigghhtt...so in other words you don't care if he's gay, a fake blood, industry hoe, you just congradulate him because a million stupid asses wasted their money on his trash album.  I see.

I'm VERY happy that Nas - A REAL NIGGA - took that spot from that disgrace, it was lookin' real bad for hip hop.

Whether you agree or not, I'm gonna let it be known I don't support frauds like Pig Ross, T-Wayne, P-LIES, Lloyd BLANKS, Tony Gayo, Soulja Toy, that shit ain't real, it's pathetic.  I'm sick of it my nigga, do you hear me?  Sick of it, that shit is gonna make me lose my mind.  And you want me to congradulate these niggaz?!?!?  U gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me homie.  I wish I could ressurect Pac so he could single handedly sock the shit out of all them niggaz, and Wayne would have been first to get it since he poppin' that "best rapper alive" bullshit, we all know Pac wouldn't have that shit.  The nigga killed Nas on his own beat, so Wayne would be nothin' but a flea to him.  No comparison.  T-Wayne's not legendary calibur, his music will fade away as the world turns, so stop praisin' niggaz based off numbers and follow your heart, that's what these fans are afraid to do, everybody wanna do what everybody else is doin', bang what everybody else is bangin', snap 'cause everybody else is snappin', use a talk-box 'cause everybody else uses a talk-box, be yourself for Christ sake.  When judgment day comes these fraud niggaz got hell to pay.

To hell with all the fake bullshit, homo thugs, popcorn shit, to hell with industry hoe niggaz, we need niggaz like Nas and Jay, not niggaz like T-Wayne that rap about nothing, we need LEADERS.  Point blank.  And if you disagree with me then die slow.  I'm passionate about hip hop I ain't no flip flop fan that goes with who's hot right now like most niggaz, I still bang Pac, Biggie, Bone Thugs, shit like that, while Y'all ride around suckin' on a fuckin' lollipop like some damn homosexual ass niggaz.  Congradulate wayne?  U make me sick.  I CONGRADULATE NAS.  Now can you fuck with that?  Case closed.  REAL HIP HOP LIVES.

Great LP. Nas has been doing this his whole career. But, he's been pushing thought provoking music harder since Stillmatic. This is the Hip-Hop I grew up on that taught me about the Streets, books and our history. It took place of the lack of male reinforcement my friends and I had growing up.

Weezy's blood status is suspect we all know that, but that dont take away from the fact that he has a nice album. He aint no faker than G-unit and everyone was backing them up 2 years ago. I wasn't a Wayne fan back in the (Hot Boy) era, cause i was riding with The Tank (yall know how it was back then). Anyway the little nigga has stepped his skills up in the last 3-4 years. Regardless of him being a real blood or not, so for that I congratulate him

In reality that is not a good debut sales week. I am hoping that the album is good and now that I have some time I will be adding to the second weeks numbers. Wayne is a good artist just very experimental and not all of it works but why he gotta be assassinated for having balls and trying.

NAS is the hands down greatest lyricist of all time as well as an amazing story teller and he will always have my loyalty like white folks have for the Beatles, or mexicans have for Celia Cruz, or Puerto Ricans have for Tito Puente or Black people have for Stevie Wonder. You gotta put him in that catagory if you are a hip-hop head. PEACE

This Nas album was ill. Not a real banger like you can just get into from the get go. I mean I liked it at first, but you have to sit and listen to the rhymes and everything to get it and appreciate it more. "Hero" is the most accessible and bumpin song on the album. I'm surprised it doesn't get more play. Polow da Don is a hot up and coming producer (or beatmaker, whatever he is), and I'da thought more people would be backing the single due to of his recent popularity. I guess the majority of the industry is still afraid to push anything that might rock the boat, definitely including Nas' album. What a bunch of pansies.

Congratulations to Nas, and I think this album will sell on a more consistent basis. I bet you he does close to the same numbers again the second week. A lot of people don't rush to the stores the first few days to get a new album, especially many of the typical Nas fans. It seems like most people who listen to "real" Hip Hop and more lyrical, thought provoking or underground shit talk a lot of trash but aren't the first in line to support "the real" artists.

Stop hating, keep congratulating, and just continue to support music you like. FOR WHATEVER REASON.

I STILL bump Carter III PLUS that NAS. Call it what you want.

Peace.

3rd I'm so tired of dudes hatin on the next man and trying to pigeon hole dude who don't sound like some shit you and your crowd want to here.  Personally I can't listen to an entire Nas, Jay Z, Wu Tang, Beans, Freeway, LOX, Jadakiss, 50 (beside GRODT) or any other east coast nigga shit, I may like a few joints but as a whole not really feeling it like that.  Do I jump on message boards and trying to discredit they craft.  Hell no!!!  The nerve of you trying to discredit some body for being different and making a living.  If they fan like it WTF are you mad for!!!!!!  You whinning like a lil bitch nigga talking bout some real hiphop.  Fuck real hiphop!!!  And fuck you too!!!  LUDA, TIP, BUN B, 8BALL, MJG, BOOSIE, WEEBIE, SCARFACE, TRICK DADDY, 3:6, BIG BOI, 3STAKS, MYSTIKAL, MAC, FIEND, and on, and on is what I consider REAL HIPHOP!!! Let's face it there aren't any more TUPAC's and BIGGIE is not coming back!  Basicly now besides these commerial niggas HipHop is back to being a Regional Thing, Don't hate on a dude because you are not feeling it, cause just as many people is not feeling the shit you think is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool to see if only at 187k. Fuck the media and the people who couldn't stand his album to be named "Nigger". It'd probably have done 100k more. The album is dope regardless. It's nice seeing in today's music scene that realness can still sell.

Thank you RAP-Gods for bringing us a HERO that dosent drink cough syrup to get high, or kiss men in the mouth, or put permanent ink in his face.

Thank you Rap-Gods for emcee's that strive to be gods and not aliens.

Thank you Rap-Gods for emcee's that dont make HipHop look raggedy, gay, and weird.

As much as i am happy for a nigga like Nas to be getting his shine on, we all know in the long run he aint going to out sell Wayne. Wayne is the hot nigga of the minute right now. I am not in no way saying he better than Nasir but he is the flavor of the month. All we can do is just be happy a dude who has a geniune love for the music is getting his, not to say wayne don't love it either. I fucks with Wayne 2, he sounds way better than he did in his the block is hot days, just right now in this day and age he is the man right now. Which is better than any Soulja2pistolspliesrockoplayacircledemfranchiseboysDjunkMimsBowwowShawtyloD4L bullshit the radio be playing.
