hes the only hip hop artist who can go platinum first week... 50 & Em were doing it in the pre-internet piracy era, they can't do it anymore
That's the reason his legitimacy is questionable though. I don't think anyone would say Wayne is the most popular rapper in the game right now (or for the past couple years) but somehow he ends up with the highest first week sales.
He was arguably hotter than Eminem in the late 2000s though. Even here in Europe everybody was listening to him and it wasn't just the radio. You could see people playing his music in the car EVERY single day, this something I hadn't seen since Eminem in 1999/2000.
I still see a lot of people wearing lil wayne/YMCMB clothes... I have never seen in my entire life someone wearing Em, 50 or jay's stuff. If you come to Brussels, I promise you you'll see some love for Lil Wayne
Also, Lil Wayne can hold down a real tour. He doesn't have to go to festivals. He's not pretending to be bigger than what hes is.
