Nas’ new album entitled: Untitled has stolen the crown from Lil Wayne’s number #1 reign. Nas’ album debuted on the billboard charts with 181,000 albums sold, while Lil Wayne dropped back at 107,000.
This comes after one week of Weezy regaining his #1 position over Coldplay.
But all’s well and ends well. Nas’ measly 181,000 debut is nothing compared to Lil Wayne’s million album selling debut, plus Miley Cyrus is expected to blow Nas away when her album drops next week.
Untitled is Nas’ fourth #1 debut. But I don’t think it’s very noteworthy. Untitled’s debut sold only half as much as Nas’ previous album Hip Hop is Dead; which debuted with 354,000 albums sold. Despite the album sells, Untitled is HOTT!!! Nas brings his A-Game as usual and spits his elaborate flowetry of hip-hop and politics.
Nas’ camp has always been solid at creating hype and buzz over new albums, but unfortunately like 50 said, Nas is too street. He’ll never reach main stream rap status.
To me, that’s a good thing. He keeps it hood where rap music originates. Leave the commercialism to sell-outs like 50.
Stumble it!
