The number has come as somewhat of a shock to some fans, who would have expected the icon to sell far more. With that being said, plenty of others note that he didn't do much in terms of promotion for the project. Instead, many think he's been focusing his attention on hype surrounding Tha Carter VI. Despite countless fans coming to Wayne's defense, the project has managed to spark some concern surrounding what's to come on the next installment of Tha Carter series.
One person who seems to be into the Louisiana-born performer's new releases is Eminem. The hitmaker took to social media to compliment a few of Lil Wayne's lyrics from his verse on YG and Tyga's track "Brand New" from Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. "'Got a bunch of zeros like a bag of new funyuns!!' F*CK why didn’t I think of that????" Eminem Tweeted last week. As expected, this prompted countless responses from fans, dropping their own favorite Lil Wayne lyrics in his replies. What do you think Lil Wayne's new album?
