Tha Carter III is the industry’s first platinum-in-a-week album since March of that year, when 50 Cent’s The Massacre moved 1.14 million copies in a truncated sales week. In “cognitive dissonance” news, today also welcomed an IFPI survey claiming that worldwide music sales have reached a 20-year low, which leads me to think that the majors are going to start their global hunt for Lil Wayne clones, oh, right about now.

    This album’s not nearly as good as the reviews insist it is.

    The album’s amazing, but most importantly, whoever dreamed up that cover deserves a raise. Shit kills me every time.
